Good Books.

Every family should be well supplied
with choice selection of books for
reading. This may be seen from the
consequences of its neglect on one
hand, and from its Importance and
value on the other. In all cases and
= all times parents should see that
opportunities are offered their child
rem for at least common school edu-
cation. With the present facilities
along these lines no excuse can be Of
fered for its neglect. Bring the child
rem up in the habit Of reading proper
ly, and to study over that which they
have read. A person cannot become a
profou nd thinker unless he reads. A
reading people will generally become
thinkers. and they are the ones who
lead in society.
When liking Is once formed for
reading good books, it is inspiring, ell.
evating In its character by which a
person is better enabled to grasp and
understand matters of life. To live
and not know what has happened be-
fore us In life is to always be child
and such an individual will never be
a complete man. Good books are in
valuable and serve as moral guard tC
young man or u young woman. In
cultivating a taste for reading it has q
tendency TO keep person quitely at
home, and they do not thirst for ex-
citing recreations and debasing pleas
ures. 1t inculcates feeling that
whatever is low and debasing is scorn
ed at by them. 1t prevents that rest
less feeling that drives many to the
saloon or gambling table; it fills then
with ideas that are enobling, anC
thoughts leading to baseness and de
pravity will find no place in thei
minds.
One Of the main influences of ;
home are its books. Wise selection,
OF paper, periodicals and books should
be made. Parents In economizing al
home can well afford to deprive them
selves OF most any other necessit,
than that of good reading matter FOL
their children. Nothing in the worlt
will compensate you more in the enc
than the free distribution of good liz
erature In your homes, having in view
the moral welfare of your offspring.

Are We Ungratefull

Today, when Russia is locked in the
throes of strife that seems likely to
result dsasterously to her, we, as an
American nation, applaud the success
of her foe and hope for her ultimate
defeat. Some forty years ago, when
we, as weak puny nation, were being
torn and rent asunder by internal
strife that threatened our total dis
ruption as nation and the probable
seizure of our land by other powers,
Russia, against France and England,
stood by us as a champion and held at
bay forces that might have been our
total undoing. Today we fling back
to our great benefactor, so the Rus
sains maintain, the basest of ingrati-
tude.
The situation In which Russia took
such a decided stand for us, was this
England and France had recognized
the South, during our civil war, as a
belligerent the same as the North.
This practically meant that the South
was indeed government equally to
be considered with the North and was
given, therein, moral support that
might blossom into more substant-
ial one. Mr.. John Callan O'Laughlin,
Golfers war correspondent in ST..
Petersburg, in review Of the stua-
ton, shows that Russia, on the other
hand, assumed the view that the two
factions were merely one temporarily
disagreeing. BY this assumption she
made her stand for the Federal gov
eminent. In actions throughout the
war Russia still maintained her friend
ly attitude: working In many instances
for the passage of such treaties as
would directly benefit us, and, in 1863,
taking a stand against the sugges-
lions of France and England for an
intervention that would, perhaps,
have meant a ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF our
country. Russia declared that the
war Itself should settle the difficulty,
and only interviewed by her consuls
seeking to hasten Cancellation be.
tween the waring factions.
What, then, today, should be our
feelings? Perhaps we are wrong In
our friendly attitude towards Japan;
but it is spontaneous sympathy. 1t
Is rise of feeling that is character
istic of us Americans. Its earliest
manifestation was against our mother
country when unjust taxation tyran-
nized the people; it resulted, then, In
a revolution that prevailed. 1t has
manifested itself since then on vaE'
Gus occasions. When the scent Of in
Justice has been snuffed IL bays as a
bloodhound does when on the trail OF
the murderer. 1t bays when its own peo
pie are wrong; IL cannot but bay when
Despotism grasps the throat Of Peace
The bear which crawls into the hole tC
steal the honey can not fail to call out
the bees and rouse the dogs.
We are not ungrateful. Our hearts
rise in songs of thankfulness for Rus
sla's friendly services. But we car
not hope to quel our inmost hatred
for that oppression which drives a
Finlander to become an assassin, q
Tolstoy to become an apostle agains,
his country. Our sense of justice
freed us from England when she at
tempted to tyrannize us; and now
although we live a hundred years OF
more from then, while we would not
be ungrateful we hope for the SUI
premacy of right and deeply regre,
that our benefactor is wrong.

Tie and it's money are there-there with

20 or 30 point advance, and who have
used the money of the public to accom-
plish the result.
The individuals who compose the pub

buying stocks. They prefer to leave
their money on deposit in the banks

Requires sanction of Three.

Requires Sanction of Three.
OF so great Importance are the trees
of the capital considered that the mat
ter of cutting down one of them must
be sanctioned by all three commission
ers in consultation. Nobody may cut
down a tree in his own door yard
without first obtaining permission, and
that is almost always refused. The
erection of a statue in Lafayette
Square has been indefinitely post
poned, because to do so would involve
the destruction of a stately oak.
Statues may be bought any day, but
1t has taken that oak a full century
to attain its present proportions. When
the planting of trees was first started,
the idea was, of course, to plant such
as would grow quickly and would SOON
est produce shade. The silver maple
does this and so does the ash-leaf
maple. the honey-locust the Atheni-
an and Carolina poplars. These were
planted in abundance in the early
days, and are yet the most numer-
Gus. However, after eighteen years
experience in the producing of shade
and foliage, adverse judgment has been
passed upon these trees. The poplars
are considered dangerously tall, so as
to be easily broken by storm, and they
give no better shade than trees Of
lesser hight. They also abound In cat
erpillars that not only injufe the beau
ty Of the tree, but are liable to come
dropping down upon the heads of
promenaders.
The silver maple is free from this
pest, but gives a light, unsteady shade
and is easily blighted. So the present
plan of the Park Commissioners is to
fill out all the gaps that occur in the
rows of trees with the American elm,
the European sycamore, the Linden,
oak and Oriental plane. They are
growing in nurseries set apart for this
purpose.
