You have already referred to the Ar
Dor Day effort being made by this De-
partment, and | believe you will be
doing a good sl-sice for the public by
still further emphasizing the subject
and urging general observance OF the
day. This movement, originating in
Nebraska, has led to the planting or
more than thousand million trees in
that state alone, thus Transforming the
treeless plains into forest areas, aud
furnishing fine shade everywhere;
and this wonderful work has
been accomplished largely through
the,infuence of Arbor Day enthusiasm.
While West Virginia yet has much
forest area, there are many waste
places that could be made glad, and
many home that would rejoice in
more fruit and shade trees.
whether few trees, more or less, are
planted ON Arbor Day as whether our
youth and the public generally get a
proper conception of what car. be done
in the way of improving the home, the
farm, and the material conditions
about them. We need higher ideal Of
civic betterment; more intelligent
farming, more fruit growing, better
roads, cleaner streets, larger parks,
purer water supply, more vines on the
front porch, more flowers in the front
yard, more strawberries in the garden.
To reach these desirable ends 1 can
think Of no more helpful agency than
that of the public schools under the
leadership of enthusiastic men and
women. But 1t occurs to me that the
day can be made more significant and
helpful by united effort on the part
of all the people, and / know of no
better way to bring this about than by
the agitation through the public press.
Approaching the assistance you
have already given this movement and
trusting that we may have an awaken
ing on this subject, and that Civic I'm
provement Clubs may be organized all
over the State, am,
Very respectfully,
Thomas G.. Miller.

A SOCIETY WOMAN LED A DUAL LIFE.
With tears streaming down her
face and pleading vainly that she be
permitted to shield her daughter, Mrs.
Florence w. Knecht, wife Of Samuel
Knecht, of the Laclede Gas Light COM
pany st. Louis, was compelled in
court to drop the mantle Of respecta-
bility which she had WORE for years
and reveal herself as the owner of one
Of the most notorious resorts in that
city.
The revelation came as shock to
the social set in which Mrs. knecht
moved. For years she had been known
as the model wife, and devout church
goer. She owned pew in one of the
fashionable churches and had been
prominent in all social affairs of the
church Her daughter is now being ed
ucated in convent, and SO perfectly
did the woman maintain her dual role
that none of her friends suspected.
Even after Mrs, Knecht admitted
that she was Florence Osborne, owner
of the disreputable house, and that she
had been arrested several times, her
friends found it hard to believe the
story.
Mrs. Knecht was compelled to adj
nit her dual life on the witness stand
in the suit for divorce which she
brought against her husband.
