CoRNs AND THE Law.
A Decision That Keenly Applies to
Strap Hangers in the Cars.

A Decision That Keenly Applies to
Strap Hangers in the Cars.
From the April Atlantic.
st. Louis is the fortunate possessor OF
an upright Judge who should live immortal
in the hearts Of his fellow men. This re-
markable friend of humanity does not hold
an exalted judicial position for man of
such broad sympathies and enveloping
charity. Indeed, his is only the humble
wool sack of police court, but his Light
shineth forth as from hilltop" Spe-
cificalIy, Judge Pollard of the Dayton
street police court fined Harry Cherry S.
for tramping on the corns of William Nc
Donald. The offense was one that appeals
keenly to strap hangers, fer 1t happened
as usual in street car.
1t is remarkable that the mScreant who
promenades upon the feet of fellow pas
sengers in crowded cars has never before
come TO his just deserts except when out
ragged victims pounce upon him and tear
him limb from limb. Never have the mas
cerated toes of humanity received judicial
attention before. Five dollars is small
penalty, but it is something, and may event
ua1ly lead to degree of punishment that
will fit the crime.
But this is not all that is to the credit
Of this revolutionary ST. Louis judge. In
his wild flight from precedent he has ac-
tua1ly decreed that a passenger has legal
as well as moral right to swear at a street
car conductor when carried past his street,
which the conductor has failed to call.
Freedom at one bound, at least a couple
of jumps, has finally come to the rescue of
the literally "down-trodden" public. After
suffering in eloquent silence for years the
street car passenger now knows his privi-
leges. He can have the man who treads
on his cofns fined, and he can swear at the
conductor who passes his street. Thus from
the obscurity of a ST. Louis police court
comes another blow in behalf of the rights
of man.

ARBoREAL DENTISTRY.
Cavities in Tree Trunks in a Park
Filled With Cement.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Considerable interest attaches to the ce-
ment filling in the trunks of the great oaks
near st. Charles avenue. and many ques-
tons have been asked about this method OF
arresting the decay of trees.
HoTticulturists have found that they have
been able to prevent limbs from deca wing
by wrapping them in cloth. This helps to
exclude the dampness Carrying their ex-
periments one point further, it was found
that cement would preserve the trunks of
trees from rotting, just a filling of a
tooth prevents further decay.
The question arose last year as to what
could be done to preserve the great oaks at
Audubon Park, which were losing their
growth and verdure by reason of big holes
In their trunks, and it was accordingly de-
cided to fill the apertures with cement Sew.
eral carloads of sand, mortar and brick
were used in the operation, which has been
attended with great success. Old oaks re-
gained their strength. new branches began
to grow and, altogether, they put on signs
of renewed life.
The art of "arboreal dentistry has since
then been perfected to such an extent that
even a new bark can be given to a tree.
the filing with a layer of cement the color
of the oaks bark, which can be so worked
as to resemble natural covering. 1t is
said that this will preserve the tree even
better than will ordinary cement, while at
the same time 1T will add to its beauty by
hiding the mortar.

There was another play with a mother

Stars.
From the Boston Transcript,

From the Boston Transcript,
So many stars are finding their way TO
the vaudeville houses now that a problem
of a new kind faces the managers. There
was a time when on the bill was only one
real star and his or her brilllancy was so
undeniable that the lower-liners never
thought of being ranked anywhere near the
top But now three, and sometimes four
or fve stars at a house at one time and
on the piaybills their names must appear.
How? That's the question. By rights each
of them is a topliner. Would the pride of
all be appeased by having the names re-
arranged every day to give each a chance?
Possibly. Would an alphabetical arrange
ment solve the difficulty? Probably not.
We are sorry for the manager of vaudeville
in his fresh embarrassment, born of riches.
and we rather feel it would be a pleasure
to do something to help him. since ours is
the enjoyment from all-star vaudeville.

the reasonable demands of your family you

tricky She'll throw you down just about
the time you get pulled up with the idea
that you're her best beau, and sometimes,
not satisfied with that. she'll calmly sit
down upon you and go to sleep. I've heard
that she has fondness for highhalls, and
this. if true, might explain some of her
vagaries but however that may be, 1t
won't do to trust her, and It's safer and
wiser to leave a margin for emergencies
when you are letting loose your income
Whether you keep on the firm ice or skate
around the edge of the danger hole you're
all right unless you fall in, and then the
Lord help you. Debt is the easiest hole in
