Katherine F'rensham,' published by
Dodd, Mead & Co., is having a marked
success in England. and. indeed. in
Europe, it having already been trans
lated in French, German, Danish and
Norwegian. Its success has probably
been due to the undertone of tragedy

has the right, healthful and courageous
outlook on life: and the story holds
the interest of the reader because of

it contains

Here is a Renaissance of Carlyle's
own which gives you an early glimpse
OF that real practical kindness of the
man which he hid, after the fashion of
Goldsmith's Man in Black" under a
mask of cYnicism:
Speaking of the pious care of his
mother and the lessons she had taught
him, he said that he was once left
alone on cold, snowy day to take care
of the cottage while his parents had
gone to the nearest market town to
buy provisions. A miserable, half
starved beggar came to the door, and
his heart was at once touched by the
sight of such abject misery. II had

ROOSEVELT,s CABINET.

President Roosevelt seems to be in
hurry to get the question of the
membership of his cabinet settled-the
cabinet he will have after March
Usually that question isn't settled nm
til just before the new presidential
term begins. Correspondents of news
papers are kept guessing about the
matter until the Inauguration of the
new administration.
Already six Of the cabinet places
have been settled. Secretaries Hav
Wilson, Taft, Metcalf and Moody are
to remain in the positions they now
I'LL and Mr.. Cortelyou is to have the
Postmaster Generalship.
AS to whether or not Mr.. Shaw is
to remain at the head of the Treasury
Department and Mr.. Morton at the
head of the Navy Department nobody
seems to know. Evidently Mr.. Shaw
wants to be continued in the place he
now has or expects something better.
During the campaign he worked like
Trojan. He made more speeches,
probably, than any other member of
the cabinet. If he didn't want to re-
main in the cabinet, why was he SO
active in the campaign? There is no
doubt probably that he was trying to
please MIR. Roosevelt with the hope of
being asked to retain the Secretary
ship of the Treasury in the next adj
ministration.
1t has been said that Mr.. Morton is
not particularly well pleased with his
job. lie isn't a rich man and, it
may be, he doesn't see that it would
be of much advantage to him to re-
main in the cabinet four years more.
BY the end of that time he would be
practically untitled for any other
work He would have no business or
occupation, and at his time of life 1t
would be rather difficult for him to
find employment suitable for an ex-
cabinet officer.
1t is probable. however, that the
public will know within the next few
days whether Mr.. Shaw and Mr. Nor
ton are to be in the new cabinet. II
they want their places they are pretty
certain to get them, IL devotion to
Mr.. Roosevelt's interests counts for
anything.

From the st. Louis Republic.
When President Roosevelt visits the
exposition he will be honored by the
official Presidents flag" which has
not been flown since it greeted Will

A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR THE
CITY


This is the season for planting trees
in this section. and the city could
make no better investment than to ap-
propriate a very considerable sum for
the immediate planting of trees in the
localities in the city that are now COM
paratively treeless. If trees are planted
now it will mean year gained in their
growth.
There are but few trees on Bull and
Abercorn streets north of Anderson,
and there are cross streets which are
practically barren of trees. A compar-
ison of the cross streets in the south.
ern section which are adorned with
trees with those which are treeless
shows what an advantage trees are.
The shaded streets have cosy and
comfortable appearance, while those
which are unshaded are greatly lack
ing in attractiveness.
1t will be recalled that not so many
years ago the middle ground in Ogle-
thorpe was almost treeIess. The trees
were disappearing on account of age.
Now that street has one of the finest
avenues of trees to be found in the
United States. Inside of ten years
people will travel to Savannah simply
to see it. 1t will have all the at
Effectiveness for tourists that the trees
in Bonaventure Cemetery once had.
And the live oaks of Oglethorpe avenue
will live century. They will be a
greater ornament of the city a half
century hence than they are now.
And the same is true of the live oak
avenue on Thirty-seventh street.
OF course. we know that it is not
the city's place to plant trees in front
of residences or lots unless paid to do
so, but If the Park and Tree Commits
sion had little more money with
which to become more active in tree
planting property owners would catch
the spirit of improvement and would
oeautify their properties by planting
trees in front of them, or by having
the Park and Tree Commission do it.
And every property holder should re-
member that the trees planted by the
commission are guaranteed. If those
they set out die they will be replaced
without cost.
AS far as we are able to judge the
commission seems to be doing the best
it can with the means at it's disposal.
The people are proud of the city and
are gratified when they hear strangers
speak in praise of it's beauty, but they
could help greatly to increase its beau
ty by educating public sentiment
against trampling the grass in the
squares and injuring the trees by cut
ting them or hitching horses to them.
A little more money spent each year
by the city and a little more by prop
erty owners in planting trees would.
in few years. make this about as
beautiful a city as there is in the
world.

GOING TO THE OTHER EXTREME.

When cotton was bringing only about
cents a pound the cotton farmers
were advised to diversity their crops
and to cut down their cotton acreage.
There is no doubt they took that ad-
vice, and most of them found they
could live quite comfortably on cent.
cotton provided they raised their own
supplies.
1t was agreed pretty generally
throughout the South that to diversity
crops and restrict the output of cot
ton was a good thing for the farmer
for several reasons. among them this
one, namely. that a small crop at a
high price is better for the cotton
farmer than big crop at a low price,
because it costs so much more to grow
and market the big crop.
The high price of cotton. however,
seems to have caused the farmers to
forget the conclusion at which they
arrived when the price of cotton was
low. They are going into the grow
ing of cotton now on large scale. 1t
is stated that already the sales of fer
tilizers this year are one-third greater
than they were at a like time last year.
That means that. notwithstanding the
fact that this seasons crop will likely
go to 100000 bales. preparations are
being made to produce a much bigger
crop next year. If a bigger crop-a
considerably bigger crop-should be
produced next year, what would be
the result? Isn't it almost certain that
the price OF cotton would decline
greatly? 1t certainly is.
1t is claimed that the farmers can
grow cotton at cents a pound at a
profit. The profit is small at that
price. but there is no certainty that
the price would be as high as 7 cents
il a crop Of 100000 bales should be
grown next season.
1t would be well for farmers to think
of this matter carefully and govern
themselves accordingly. The spinners
especially those of foreign countries
would like to see cent cotton again,
but the cotton producing South doesn't
want to sec 1T.

exquisite capacity for pain scarcely
conceivable by those who are free to
