10 the days of St. Augustine the cedar
was the type of pride and strength.
Cedar of Lebanon, whom God hath
not yet broken" is his apostrophe to
"overweening greatness tottering to
its fall"
That the thought of the cedar
should have impressed beyond meas
ure the imagination of the Christian
west is not surprising. 1t was tree
which no European had seen, yet to
which their one Holy Book made con:
slant illusions. Though the cedar
t1curished then, and survives yet on
the Atlas mountains and on a few
ranges in Asia Minor, these were never
visited, and scarcely known. But the
tradition passed on from generation

there still grew these almost sacred
trees, there, and nowhere else, as the
world then thought, and continued to
arouse mems curiosity and stimulate
their interest. 1t does not appear that
during the Crusades any European
penetrated to the groves. The Leb-
anon lay in the enemy's country, and,
further, was in possession of the
Assassins, with their mysterious chief,
the Old Man of the Mountains. Thus
guarded by remote distance, and for
time by the presence of the murder:
Gus fanatics near the base Of the
mountains, the cedars stood for cen
turtles unvisited, and drank up the
snow-waters with their roots, unin-

wandering travellers, whose careless
brands have more than once since
consumed the groves of Hermon.
Meantime, they still remained the
most renowned natural monuments in
the world. .s1..,..

authority says our own period of
superiority will be brief unless our
naval expenditure for, new construc-
ton is kept up to an MEMORABLE an
nual average of from $25,OO0,O00 to

This same authority. Talcott. Will
liams, points out another need of the
navy, namely, increase in the number
of officers. While our national leg
islature increases it's vessels, it
makes almost no provision for add
ing to its officers-a policy directly
opposite that followed by Germany,
which for every ship it builds has al
ready. provided officers and men.
Germany has decreed an annual in
crease to it's navy for 20 years to
come of GO officers and 1,T43 men;
the United States congress has add
ed but 100 new, appointments to An
napolis, and that means there will
be graduated from the institution
only 16 more officers q year. > -.
The total number Of officers and
seamen has been advanced from the
10, 400 of 1895 to $4,000; number
equal to the force in each of the in
ferior navies of Italy and Japan,
5000 less than that Of Germany, and
1000 below Russia's count. :.
Mr.. Williams emphasizes the fact
that navy's success is dependent on
three factors; ships, officers with
men, and equipment; and shows that
while our ships have been built as
rapidly as needed. we do not have
enough officers and our equipment
has been insufficient. As he tersely
phrases it: 'sOur feet at the critical

the passing of the patriotic sentiment

MUTILATED HEADGERR.
An Instance of Unparalleled Meanness
at Church Social.

Wonder how old Satan's princi-
pal assistants are? If they are not
from IS to 90 years of age he is not
getting the best possible service out
of his imps, unless human nature
down there differs from that ON
earth. At osother age apparently,
can person make things so uncom-
Portable for his fellow man.
This fact has been emphasized
by a series of depredations here,
during the past winter, by boys of
the ages named. AS a result of
their latest scheming three men and
one girl went away hat1ess from
the Baptist social given at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Healy. FRIDAY
evening. A large number of per-
sons of all ages was in attendance,
and two or three boys from IS to 20
years of age were guilty of as wan
ton meanness as could be conceived.
The part of one was to turn out
the light in the room where the
wraps had been deposited, while
the others cut and broke up three
gentlemen's hats to such an extent
as to render them entirely worth
less. A lady's cap was staken away
and it has not yet been restored to
the owner.
An investigation revealed the
identity of the boy who turned off
the light and the one who did a
portion of, if not all, the cutting.
The former became a witness for the
state and the latter was arrested on
a warrant from the justice of the
peace.
The result of the proceedings
which followed is that the wrong
person is punished. It is under
stood that the father of the boy is
to pay all damages and costs, and
that the case is to be postponed.

But Others for 1.-THE Public School
Improvement-Vote on it in June.
They talk in town now about ac-
commodations the school board
wants to make for the school chill
dren. The rooms at the public
school building were built to ac-
commodate forty pupils, but some
have over sixty in them. And some
of the children have to attend
school in an old church building,
which it is understood cannot be
had next year for the purpose.
The board wants the people to au-
thorize an issue of bonds by the
district for sufficient money to make
Improvements adequate for the
comfol table accommodation of all
pupils
Some are against the improve
ment. "Its good enough as it is,
one was heard to say. ''We
don't need any more room"
said another Yes; but they are
using the old church building,
which isn't fit for the purpose, and
it can'tbe had next year. replied a
friend of the improvement. Il don't
keer; what we got's good enough,
anyway" responded the anti-im-
provement society citizen. "We
got burned sight more than they
he'd when [ went to school; and
what we gots good enough" he
continued. Yes; but we can't get
the old church again; and besides
the little children have no place to
play except in the street, which is
both dangerous and wrong retur-
ned the man of progress. ST don't
keer what we gots good enough,
anyway" concluded the graduate
from the school at Oshkosh Hollow
as he gripped the plethoric money
purse in his pocket with a wise like
squeeze that almost made the god
dess of libtrty on the coin shrek
with pain. He was afraid the
eagles on the other side of the coins
might fly away with his spurse when
he wasn't watching, SO he hung on
for dear life as the school builder
ambled away.
Several persons are so much op-
posed to the improvement that they
have gone to members of the board,
and there registered a vigorous kick
against the proposed expenditure.
Many others, on the other baud
haveexpressed approval and have de-
clared that they will support any
reasonable measure for the purpose
that the board may propose.
The question will be up to be
voted on at the annual school e1ec-
ton which transpires in June. The
indications are that there will be
something of local fight over the.
matter, and that the issue will be
fairly and squarely drawn so as to
be decided on its merits. The
board will not submit the various
plans under consideration to be
voted upon, but will ask authority
to issue bonds up to given amount
leaving the board free to adopt that
plan considered most desirable and
which may be most economically
carried out.
