ing tree is not an easy matter, and Gov
ering in tht ordinary way does not
prevent the top from being broken
down by the snow. The manner of
growth makes the top in danger of
receiving a great mass of possibly
damp snow, that quickly splits off the
curving branches. The cut shows
an excellent plan to use in the care
of such trees. -Four stakes and two
cross pieces gives a framework that
permits bagging to be wound about
the tree, but at such distance from it
as to permit straw and hay to be
packed in about the trunk and under
and around the curving branches
while crossboards at the TOP will sup
port any weight of snow. The same
stakes and boards can be saved and
used year after year, fol these weep.

The feminine instinct begins young.
The little girl who wore her new cloak
for the first time in an east wind was
not thinking of the east wind. Her
mother however, was; and she sug-
gested that people who allowed their
cloaks to blow over their heads some
times caught cold. "Oh, no, mother"
observed her daughter complacently,

Marching without Food.

When Hilario and Segovia began to
deal with the question Of food for the
seven-days' march to Palanan, an un-
expected difficulty was encountered,
writes General Funston, in Every
body's Magazine. The staple articles
Of food at Palanan are fresh fish and
fresh vegetables, principally sweet po-
tatoes. Neither would serve for long
journey, as they would not only spoil,
but were too heavy and bulky. A
small quantity of Indian corn is raised
at Palanan, and was the only article
of food to be had which was portable
and would not deteriorate, but the
amount on hand was quite limited.
The vice-alcalde state that If we would
remain week he could in that time
obtain a sufficient quantity Of cracked
corn to serve for all during the march.
But such delay was out of the ques-
ton, as 1 had arranged with Com
mander Barry that the Vicksburg meet
us at Palanan Bay on the 25th. If we
had not arrived by the 9th a force
was to be landed to investigate.
Despite all his efforts the vice-al-
calde had not been able in two days to
collect more than three days ration
of cracked corn and small quantity
of dried buffalo meat. We must start
don the expedition. By unanimous
vote among the five Americans we
chose the former alternative, though
l must confess it was with consider
able misgivings so far as I was con-
cerned. AS will be seen, the result
came near being disaster.
Funston and His Men Land at Casigua r
When the dim form of the Vicksburg
had faded from sight, we lay down on
the sand and waited for the break of
day, says Frederick Funston in Every
body's Magazine. At last it came, q
gloomy, drizzly morning, and we
marched n short distance along the
beach to fresh water and prepared
breakfast of boiled rice, of which we
had brought days ration for each,
thinking full supply could be OBJ
tanned at Casiguran. We could not
bring along American food for us Off
GERS, for the obvious reason that it
might arouse suspicion in the minds
Of the natives that we were not pris-
oners. After breakfast we continued
the march along the beach up the
west side of the long and narrow Cast
guran Bay. In places the mangrove
jungles CAME down so close that at
high tide We were compelled to wade.
We waded fully five miles the first
day. No human beings were seen,
| although there were signs of the saw
age Balugas. At noon we stopped for
two hours to cook again. At this place
we found small dug-out canoe and
conceived the plan of sending news
of our approach to Casiguran, lest the
inhabitants take alarm at our ap-
proach and flee to the woods.

TIL L BOND ELECTION.

The board at its meeting Monday
night passed resolution calling for
another bond election.
On a careful estimate of the cost
of erecting the buildings required,
it has been found that the $4,000
voted is not sufficient to erect and
equip the contemplated buildings in
modern style, and the burning of
the Third ward building makes it
necessary to raise an additional
amount to rebuild in that ward.
Since passing this resolution, the
members of the board have been
considering the matter carefully and
talking with the patrons of the
school from various parts of the
city, and seem to have come to the
conclusion that more room is i'm
perstively needed for the high
school, and the proposition will
doubtless be changed at the next
meeting so as to allow of this i'm
provement, in which the whole city
is interested
Much criticism has been hurled at
the present board, and we sincerely
believe much of it was just, but this
board has had to deal with many
most perplexing questions. There
has been ee-saw and pull on
cyery DrODOSitiOn that presented it.

ern buildings without knowing what
it took to get them, and the board
was just as much in the dark. They
took the time and pains to inform
themselves and discovered they had
not enough money to do the build

in value, and when they got togeth-
cr to act, the price of the site was

MCKINLEY MEMORIAL.

A vigorous and united effort is to
be made in Kansas to raise fund.
for the Mckinley monument.
The whole matter of the collect
ions from our common schools and
various institutions of learning
is left to Governor Stanley and
Superintendent Nelson.
They have sent out a circular
asking that the schools of the state
make united effort on January 20
the birthday of Mckinley and Kan
sas.
They also suggest a program Of
exercises to be given that day, which
we think altogether appropriate and
hope every school in the state will
give some such commemorative ex-
ercises.
The program suggested by the
governor and state superintendent
is as follows:

If the township assessors of Kansas have
counted correctly, Kansas failed to make
q gain in population during the past year.
Instead the state lost 239. The reports of
the assessors are by no means strictly ac-

Agriculture has completed the compilation
of the census figures by counties, ana
makes the following statement:
The population of Kansas in March, lSJz'
as returned by assessors through their
county clerks to the State Board OF As-
riculture, was 1.464569. as against 1'4b'SoS
