AR BOUR DAY.
Occasion Fittingly Observed
at &rant school.

Arbor day was most appropriately
observed by the children of the Fourth
Ward, on Friday afternoon, at the
Grant School Building. After the con-
clusion of short literary programs IN
the several rooms-the pupils-with
teachers and visiting patrons, assem-
bled in the yard on the east side OF
the school building. All were in the
shade and opposite the line of trees
to be planted. First in the order of
exercises was the reading of an ar,
ticle of tribute to the originator and
founder of Arbor Day, j. Sterling
Morton. This esteemed citizen of the
U. s., deceased April 9th, 1902, will
be remembered as Secretary of Agri-
culture during Grover Cleveland's
administration. He was a devoted adj
mirer of nature, his home was called
Arbor Lodge and his motto was:
PLANT Trees"
This paper was read by a pupil of
the eighth room, who concluded with
a little sketch called The Autobiog'
raphy of a Tree. This was followed
by a song, Woodland Voices" given
by pupils of the sixth, seventh and
eighth rooms
Next a little pupil of the first room
recited what We Plant" showing
that in planting trees, We plant the
useful as we'll as the beautiful, and
that the material. in the tree forms the
base of nearly all construction. After
this, followed Quotations, upon various
themes in Nature, by pupils of the
fourth room Following this, the
singing of America was Joined in
heartily by teachers, pupils and pa.
irons, and the last, and most welcome
feature of the dedicatory program was
a short but inspiring talk by our new
member of the School Board, for the
Fourth Ward, DR.. j. z. Fleener.
The DR.. urged upon the boys and
girls, the cultivation of those higher
and better principles in life, which
are inspired by the planting of trees
and flowers and a love for all nature
and in a reminiscent vein, told of his
own efforts in that line when a boy,
and the pleasure derived from it in
later years. Not only DR.. Fleener's
remarks but his presence was an in.

Fourth Ward are encouraged in the
belief that henceforth the Member OF
the School Board, from Fourth Ward
will be oftener seen and welcomed at

Many improvements have been
made in the appearance of the school
grounds, viz: Arranging of large
flower beds and borders, sodding and
seeding of grass, leveling, raking and
cleaning up in general. All this has
been participated in by teachers, pup
lis and janitor, and let us heartily
commend and encourage all for Fourth
Ward will soon have an array af nat

The authorities of Pennsylvania
town, afflicted with q scourpe of
smallpox, acted in the light of ex-
perience when they ordered that all
dogs and cats found running loose in
the streets should be shot. 1t is well
known that these animals carry con-
tagion, as their hair offers con.
genial lodging-place for disease
germs. Parents cannot be too care
full in keeping pet cats and dogs out
of the sick-room of scarlet fever or
diphtheria patient, and in seeing that
their children do not play with pets
which belong to families where there
is or has recently been contagious
disease.

When woman suffrage II thor
oughly established in this country
and women sit in both houses Of
congress it may become necessary to
revise some of the customs that now
prevail, and especially that unwrit-
ten law that makes it necessary for
every senator and representative to
furnish an photographed sketch,
beginning with a statement Of age,
for publication in the Congressional
directory. The records in the direct
ory are revelations to many people
who consult them. These records
show an evenly balanced senate Of

eridge, of Indiana, and Kearns, Of

between 40 and so; 30 between so and
60; 26 between GO and 20; IA between
~ and SO, and just one, Senator
Pettus, of Alabama, between so and
90 years of age. Senator Pettus was
so years of age his last birthday.
Senator's who have lived more than
20 years, nearly all of whom have
the vigor and appearance of much
younger men, are Allison, of Iowa,

Fond mothers, in casting up the
chances of their boys to become SEN
ators, says the Washington Star, may
study with some interest the records
OF the months in which the senators
were born. Boys born in the late
winter and early spring have the
least chance. OF the SO senator's whose
days of birth are given, only four
were born in February, five in March
and four in April. August was bad
month for senator's, as but five came
into the world in that month. The
highest record is held by the month
of May, in which ten senator's were
born. January, October and July
were months fruitful of senator's, as |
nine Of them were born in each of |
these months. Six were born in
June, eight in September, seven in
November and six In December.

are noble, Intellectually cultivated,

that is organized around the idea of

this sort of thing comes to when it

outside show at Tiffany's that in any
way suggested this woman. 1t was
barbaric. She had the air of telling
everybody that she had not come there
to hear the music, but merely to be
looked at, and she was loaded and hung
all over, in every possible place, with
diamonds and gems and jewels of every
kind. Now, we can forgive an Indian
or FIJI Islander his anklets and brace

cause he has not, presumably been de-
veloped to anything higher than these,
but the type of society whose distin-

certainly is not human in the true
sense in which that word ought to be

tion outside as well as inside of New

small. it shows a despicable trait of
character.

Although it is difficult to overrate
the influence of business ability and
character qualifications in an appli.
cant for an Office position, the per.
sonal preference of the employer
often decides the matter. A large
depot for oriental goods was recent
ly opened, and woman bookkeeper
was desired. From the many appli-
cants fair, gentle-voiccd, graceful
girl was chosen. Another candidate
accepted the situation philosophical
ly, but wished to know the ground of
preference. "rhen I tell you, mees,"
replied the courteous Persian.
"Thees tall young lady with the vel
low hair and the pink face, she set
off my vases and silks. / am very
sorry, mees. 1t ees not my fault and
it ees not your fault; but that young
lady ees more becoming to my busi-
ness"

Since March the torch in the hand
of the Statue of Liberty Enlightening
the World, in Vew York harbor, has
not been lighted. This does not
mean that the statue has lost its
significance as the symbol and per-
sonification of the broad political and
industrial freedom which is enjoyed
in the United States. 1t simply
means that no satisfactory method
Of lighting the torch has been de-
vised, and that the lighthouse board
does not think it worth while to con-
tinue an inadequate electric lamp.
The other harbor lights serve all the
needs of the mariners, and the statue
itself, without its own light, will
show more plainly in the darkness
than before.
