Boston Trees.
Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
Superintendent Pettigrew's appeal TOR
more shade trees in cities should not faii
on deaf ears as this Is a matter in when
the civic pride of the Bostonian should ne
aroused. Few people. 1t is feared. under
stand the commercial value of shade trees,
but horticulturists who have experience as
sert that a well-grown shade tree has
commercial value of about $50. 1t VIII De
seen. therefore. that the shade trees now In
the streets of Boston represent tangipie
asset of millions of dollars. And it should
be remembered that each full-grown tree
repre- sents but small original investment,
the amount expended on each tree Tor
pla nting and care being but small pro-
portion of what II soon becomes worth
The bill for a state forester Is along tho
right lines. but the city of Boston should
look after It's own trees. and have better
shade trees and more of them. At present
little attention is being paid to this moee
important matter in this city.

Many Drinks for a, Dollar.

From the London Daily Express.
In the United States the Mexican dollar
has an exchange value of 90 cents. In
Mexico the American silver dollar has the
same value. On the frontier of the United
States. where Texas joins Mexico, there
are two saloons. one on each side of the
frontier. A man buys a ten-cent drink OF
whisky at the American saloon and pays
for 1t with an American silver dollar. re-
ceiying Mexican silver dollar in change.
With this he crosses the border. goes into
Mexican saloon, hands over the Mexican
dollar for ten-cent drink and receives an
American dollar in change. 1t Is evident
that the limit OF his purchasing power Is
the length of time he can stand He finally
wakes up with bad headache and the
American dollar with which he started.
Who paid for the whisky?

The Novice A-Horseback.
Goup+r, VtPa Tn Ap,or;aa

The position that 1t is natural for the be-
ginner to take when first perched upon a
horses back is not the correct one. This
sounds unusual because, in SO many sports
and forms of physical exercise, the attitude
that is easiest and most natural is the best.
For instance, in walking we move with our
toes pointed out and our heels in. The be-
ginner In riding naturally places his feet in
this position when first seated upon a horse
The correct position for the feet in riding
is to carry them parallel with the sides of
the horse The reason for this will be read
lily understood If we imagine the rider
wearing spurs. Were the toes out and the
heels in, he would be constantly In danger
of jabbing his horse in the ribs. If any fur
Their reason were necessary, the awkward
appearance of the feet when carried in
walking would suffice.

QUEER BANK DEPOSITS
INGENUITY REQUIRED TO CLEAR
UP DORMANT ACCOUNTS.
Savings Institutions Have Clerk to
Trace Old Dispositions
or Heirs.


New York Times Annual Financial Review.
Most of the larger banks In this city pay
especial attention-some of them keep a
clerk constantly employed for this purpose
to discovering the whereabouts of the de-
positors or their heirs of what are known
as dormant accounts" These are ac-
counts to which no additions or withdraw
ais have been made for at least twenty-five
years. and. while 1t Is inevitable that such
accounts must exist in all older savings
banks. the aggregate is very much less
than generally supposed. In the Bowery
Savings Bank. with its s9S,0ooooo of as
sets, the dormant accounts amount to less
than $4,000. and are decreasing year by
year through the successful efforts OF the
bank to discover the owners or their heirs.
The following instances taken from the
book of records will no doubt interest
some. (The true names are all changed):
Account No. 1850. of Isaac ID. Ragoun.
This account was opened In the later 1Os
and after il became dormant we at once
instituted a search for a long time without
any results. until one day. in response to
one of the advertisements which we had
sent out. we received letter from a lady
to the effect that she had seen said adver-
tisement and that the name We had given
had brought up recollections of long years
ago. She wrote to us that she knew where
relatives of the missing man were living.
We replied, requesting the favor OF a per-
sonal interview, and one day subsequently
a quaint old lady. dressed in the style OF
fifty years ago. corkscrew curls, lace shawl
and mitts and looking as If she had stepped

able emotion as she told her story. from
which il seemed that our missing deposltor
was at one time her betrothed husband and
his untimely death had caused her severe
shock In the course of conversation she

made no claim on the money we had in our
hands but said that having found that II

Result of a Wise Birds Directions at

Poor old Poll Parrot has many slips to
answer for when he is one of the mora

owner of a fine specimen of one of these
birds, land mne like the majority of PED

If he had kept dumb.
THE latest forward work of this ornf-

the talking bird happened only last Sat

Rhode Island avenue, had ordered ton OF
coal. Promptly the load was delivered
though the driver of the wagon by some
means, managed to dump his cargo almost
as much in front of my dwelling as 1t was
in front of the house of the gentleman for
whom it was intended.
But the coal man managed to get the
proper receipt from the next house and
started away. Close in his wake came a
colored man with a shovel. Now, old Poll,
watching the proceedings with much inter-
est and behind the shutters of the hoisted
window in the second story of my house,
was beguiling the lonely hour away by an
incessant chatter to himself, the members
of the family all being in the rear portion
OF the lower part of the premises. The col
ored man looked up at the window and to
use his own words, when he asked if he
could put the coal in, the lady told him
Certainly. Put the coal in. Put the coal
in And he accordingly put it in

PROMINENT IN THEIR DAY,
Stories Of Lawyers Who Were Well
Known Years Ago.

A party of lawyers who were well known
about the local courts some years ago were
standing in a hotel lobby one evening not
long ago telling stories of Police Court
practice during the days when Judge Smell
was upon the bench, and later on when
Judge Miller dispensed justice at the same
place. Everybody in the party recalled the
times when Charlie Moore, the prosecuting
officer, would make mountain out of a
mole hill and cause more trouble in court In
few seconds than the court could settle in
more than as many minutes.
II remember on one occasion" said a
member of the party, when he called tall
colored man Chang, and the latter took
exception to what he said. The colored
man did not know exactly what the genial
prosecutor meant. but he did understand
that the laugh was upon him, and he imme-
diately took the prosecutor to task.
But" said the prosecutor, when he saw
that the witness was inclined to be beliig-
erent don't you look like Chinaman?
mo, l don't look like Chinaman,' re-
torted the man on the witness stand, but
I'd rather be a Chinaman than some of
these brashy lawyers ! see about the
court"
The attorney was inclined to keep up the
argument and vary the monotony of the
court, but the judge believed in having the
business of the court performed more
quietly and decreed that colored man
ought not be called Chinaman.
Charlie Moore had habit of-doing just
such things, added the member of the
group, "and had it not been for his conduct
the menotonous work of the court would
seldom have been varied.
what about Daniel E. Cahill?" asked
another member of the group.
Dan was all right" said still another.

Family Life.

From Harper's Bazaar.
1t is when sorrow comes that we know
best the true worth of home and family
life. Not for a moment is our grief un-
shared. To the endurance of it the whole
strength Of the family is brought to bear
The children think of pleasant ways to dis
tract us from too much brooding The old
mother opens the precious stores of her
early days. and shows us how she has
borne heavy burdens without losing heart
of grace The old father is touching in his
tenderness and solicitation. We feel that
we add to the burden of his years, but 1t
is not so. AS he soothes US, he perceives
that there is still work for him on earth
q good reason for his continued life within
reach of our need. Cousins, uncles, aua;s,
come to see us, and take us into their
homes. With. the new sight born of our
grief we look into their hearts and see the
sweet and holy things that lie hidden there
Love speaks to us. with the lips that we
love best in all the world. we know love
to be greater than we thought, and perceive
that sorrow only deepens blessedness.
