A "workfng Grip Impostor.

That young woman who planned I,

edge her way into the White Hous,
wedding as 1.-THE representative of thu
American working girls" knew he
public very well. Plenty of thought
less people would say that the work
ing girls should be represented on tina
occasion, since weddings are the de
light Of every girls heart. and the
right to be in the national miYul
should not be monopolized. But rea
working girls would resent the implica
ton that they are devoid of good tasts
and ready TO push in where they arr
not wanted. Vain society women woulC
sink all discretion at a time like that
but the working girl of America il
made of different stuff.
America has in her working girls {
unique type. Abroad factory life, do
nestle service and even commercial
pursuits put a mark upon the woman
and doom her to the limits of hel
class. 1t would not be strange h
among the hundreds of women guests
hidden to the White House wedding
one or more had some day worked
for wages behind the shop counter OF
at the desk. Almost every day some
shopgirl or typewriter is tra%nsplantet
to a home of refinement and plenty
This is because she will fit the new
role, and she will fit 1t because while
earning her bread she has cultivated
the best that was in her. That is the
American working girls rare privilege
to aspire to a destiny higher than thai
cast by birth or fixed by accident. Al
American working girls environment
develops womanly reserve and no
audacity, inspires self respect and
hope instead of breeding despair anG

AN eMPERoR's TASTE.
II Was the Origin of a Common Say
ing la Austria.

An anecdcte which was current Of
Ferdinand /. Of Austria at one time
greatly delighted his subjects aud gave
rise to u ccmmon saying. One sum-
mer day he was hunting In the Syrian
mountains aad was oTertaken by a
violent thunderstorm. lie sought ref
uge in a farmhouse whose occupants
were Just then at dinner, and his fan
cy was caught by some smoking dump
lings made of coarse -four. He tasted
them, liked them and asked for more.
and when he got to Vienna. to the hor-
ror Of the royal cooks. he ordered the
same dumplings to be served up daily.
The courtiers were scandaliZed that
such a coarse dish should figure on
the menu aud wen his physicians re-
monstrated against the use of such
food.
The emperor had always been the
most plant of men. but he now show
ed that he had a will OF his owa and
persisted in gratifying his new fancy.
Finally the physicians pretended that
1t was dangerous to his health to be
living on dumplings and insisted on hia
giving them up. The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot aud de-
clared that he would never sign anoth-
err official document if his diet were
denied him.
Emperor | am" he shouted. "and
dumplings | VIII haye,."
To prevent a stoppage of the govern.
ment machinery opposition was with
drawn. and his majesty chung tena-
ciously to his dumplings. Then the inn
perial phrase became proverbial. and
thereafter when any q insisted IN
gratifying a silly within some one was
sure to say:
Emperor am. and dump!ings will
have."

Young Mexico Has the War Fever.

1t has long been the fashion in this
country to look down upon the Mexi
cans as men of poor fighting qualities
but we may have to change our opinion
before very long. Says r. r. Guernsey
in the Atlantic.
The younger men of the country have
shown a decided bent toward military
life, and thousands of them have volun.
tarily subjected themselves to drill and
discipline. Steadily and without making
any parade of its purpose the govern
ment has devoted much attention and
money to the perfecting of Its army.
Military men have been stationed In Eu.
rope to watch the evolution Of their art
among continental armies and to gather
technical formatio as TO new Weapons
Today the Mexican army is largely off,
cered by young and devoted men who
have received 4 scientific training, and
the military strength of the nation has
increased appreciably. Mexico has learn
ed much from the Boer war and from the
Russo-Japancse conflict. During the Rus
so-Japanese war the synpathies of those
young men Of the middle class who have
Indian blood in their veins were strongly
with the brown warriors of Nippon. Mex
lean Indians of cultivation, of whom there
are thousands, regard themselves as de-
Scendants of the men of the orient; their
race memory preserves unobiiterated the
record of the wrongs done them by the
white coaquerors from Spain. Even men
with but II slight admixture of Indian
blood speak with bitterness of the deeds
OF Herman Cortes and his fellow conquis-
tadores. The rise of Japan is far from
displeasing to the thoughtful and reading
indian of Mexico. There exists a race
patriotism which will make itself felt In
the national policies of the near future.
When the United States forces uD-
der Scott and Rough and Ready" Tay.
lor fought Mexico the middle Of the
last century the land was under the
heel of the most blighting oppression.
Santa Anna was a typical South Amer
lean dictator. He and his underlings
drove the uniformed poems up to the
firing line with the lash. But Juarez
and Diaz inargurated a new policy.
That they had some good material to
work Oh for the cultivation Of a pa
triotic military spirit we must believe
when we recall the heroic band OF
schoolboy volunteers who defended the
citadel at Chapultepec after all the
regular Mexican troops had fed and
refused to yield the guns until the vic.
torious Americans had cut off their
road Of retreat and they faced the
alternative of surrender or death BIZ
the sword.

Socialism and War.

TER Bebel, spokesman Of the So
ci..iists of Germany, declares that his
followers will fatty reject any propo
sition from the international union tc
oppose all wars. He thinks that the
decision in any crisis should be left tt
the Socialist party in each country and
that any question involving the terri
torial integrity of Germany would rally
the workingmen to the frontier for the
national defense.
Evidence uf the strength Of the So
cialist party in the kaiser's realm is
found in the recent appeal Of the chan.
cellor of the empire for the suppression
of all discord among non-Socialist par
ties. One means of consolidating the
opposition forces now under considera.
ton is the payment by the government
Of salaries to the members Of the
reichstag. At present the members
serve without pay from the public
treasury, but the Socialist party pays
its representatives out of party funds
thus insuring constant attendance.

A Boom For Good Roads.

In his recent report Postmaster Gen
eral Cortelyou makes 1t clear that the
maintenance and extension of rural
free delivery is to depend upon the con-
diti0n Of the roads, other things beins
equal. The roads on rural delivery
routes, he declares, must be kept In
good condition, unobstructed by gates
and with all streams fordable at all
seasons of the year" This is spread
Ing over rural communities the sensi-
BILE and necessary principle that Uncle
Sam will not tolerate obstruction of
the nails
The requirement of the government
Is in essence a demand that 10000
roads throughout the country must not
be allowed to fall into decay, for when
ever n falls below the standard the
delivery of mail upon that route will
be stopped. The provision is in har-
mony with good roads legislation and
with the spirit of those progressive
communities which are alive to the i'm
provement of the highways.

A French investigator of the faculty
of medicine of Paris proclaims coffee
as one of the most valuable and bene-
fetal articles for human consumption
because it aids digestion. overcomes
fatigue and especially gives clear and
stable imaginative power to the brain.
In other words, mild stimulation Is not
to be condemned. He advises, how
ever. against giving coffee to children
under any conditions. because 1t is
not a food and the growing body Is In
no need of stimulants.

The most surprising thing connected
with the new British battleship Dread
nought is her rapidity of construction.
The vessel was on the stocks for only
four months, and 1t is expected that
she will be placed in commission with.
in sixteen months after the laying OF
her keel. This is extraordinary build
ing, considering the massive character
Of the ship, and surpasses anything

her construction is that she is to be
driven by turbines. something entirely
new in warship construction.

Rapidity of growth; 6. Root system.
In some places it is desirable to
have deciduous trees and the argu-
fact that they allow a maximum of
sunshine in winter and give abundant
protection during the summer. But in
California we can always get plenty of
such that too much mud or dampnesS
will be produced, L prefer evergreens-
When all nature is gay and every
one has cause to rejoice; when the
hills and wales are covered with wild
flowers and the air is laden with per-
fume from the orange groves; while
the palm and banana are unfolding
their wOndrous leaf growths, we are
rudely awakened from our pleasant
contemplatiOns of the beauties of ma
tr1re by the sight of the cheerless, leaf
less deciduOus trees, fOrbidding, in
hospitaIble; the very picture of DESC
latiOn, today at variance with the
beauty everywhere expanding.
On a warm, sunny day in winter,
when we look forth ON waving fields of
grain, or citrus fields weighed down
with fruit, a leafess tree locke to me
nearly as much out of place as would
a banana grove in Minnesota or the
DakOtas.
The words evergreen is not meant
to cover cOnifers or cOne-bearing trees
alone. as the word is used in the East,
but just what Webster says it means:
any tree which retains it's leaves
throughout the year. Conifers, by the
way, are untitled for roadside plant
ing except on avenues of unusual
width, where 20 to 80 feet may be al
lowed for them, either along each side
or through the center Allow me to

pomona Street Tree Ordinance" This
measure is one of compulsory street
planting whereby all streets in the
city must he fully planted within two
years. 1t is left with the council or
trustees to choose an official tree for
each street. but the property owners
have the right of petition in the mat
ter. and the tree desired by the ma
iOrity has invariably been designated
as the official tree. Every street must
choose its tree within six months after
the passage of the ordinance and if
not planted accordingly within two
years, the city does the work and
charges the expense against the prop
erty along with the city taxes. Only
in this way may all nonresident own
ers be made to respond. The results
have been highly satisfactory, exceed
ing all expectations
One of the greatest mistakes made
is the lack of preparation. All holes,
size of the tree, should be dug from
3 to feet deep and of the same di-
ameter. Fill this hole with the best
soil to be had, putting the very best at
the bottom, below the roots. The tree,
finding better feed below than above,
will develop a deep root system and
we will not then find so many dying
trees nor so many heaved and broken
sidewalks.
In choosing your stock, get free
rooted and vigorous trees, not stunted
ones. Better plant a thrifty one six
inches high, than one as many feet
whose roots have been confined for
two or three years in pot or pan.
AS a rule, too many trees to each lot
are planted. Two trees on a fifty foot
lot are plenty, and one would be bet
ter. The points to be considered in
the choice of tree are about six in
number, as follows: 1. General ap-
pearance; 2. Drought resistance; 3.

Street Trees in California.

port of a Farmers Institute, which
was held at that place. 1t was all in
teresting. but we have no space for
any more than the address on shade
trees for street OrnamentatiOn. We
think that Florida towns may learn
something from this paper, which was
as follows:
The first paper presented was by
Earnest Braunton, of Los Angeles, on
street Trees,'' a practical expert i'm
his line Mr. BrauntOn, in his talk,
covered the subject thoroughly, and
his remarks concern a subject of such
vital Importance to every progressive
Southern California town that it is
deemed wise TO reproduce it in full:
There are at least four good reasons
why we should plant street trees:
First, for ornament; second, for
health; third, for comfort; fourth, for
protection.

costs but little more to make it at
tractive than to leave it or make it I'M
slightly, and a well-kept, we'll planted
district will not only attract, but COM
mand residents desirable In every way.
1t is not mere sentiment that prompts
the railroads to advertise the attrac-
tiOns along their lines. Beauty to
them, represents cash, and each year
they spend immense sums calling at
tentiOn to the attractions of the sec
tiOns through which they pass. If peo-
pie choose a line of travel because of
it's natural and acquired beauties, how
much more eagerly will they seek such
place for a residence. That both are
eagerly sought for is undiSputed.
Landscape beauty is capital. Again,
not one of us would be satisfied to
spend his life in a desert, though SUI

Oft-times travel far seeking the most
beautiful location Obtainable.
2. Health. Trees add greatly to
the healthfulness of any district by
cooling and purifying the air, the foil
age evapOrates large quantities of wa
ter AMI the reduction of temperature
in this way is greatest during the hot
test and dryest weather. The foliage
also absOrbs impure, and therefore
harmful gases. Trees also promote
circulation of air (due principally to
unequal temperature).
3. Comfort. Trees add materially
to comfort either in city or country,
not alone to shade the passer-by, and
the idIer who rests beneath their
branches. but in a climate like ours,
with perpetual sunshine, they soften
the glare and heat of the sun on side
walks.
4. Protection. Every one will read
lily cOncede that street trees afford
protection from both wind and sun,
but as a protection against fire they
are not so well-knOwn. The chief of

tells of fire where a single large tret

was considerable delay in getting wa
ter, so that the fire gained great head
way.
Even from financial point of view
the systematic planting and care OF
trees on streets would prove a paying
investment. Many cases are known
where bare land of superior value has
sold at much less price than inferior
land with the frontage aligned with
street trees. For all purposes but the
growing of crops street trees are OF
more Importance and value to the land
than quality of soil. New corners are
not attracted to a city by garish
sladeless streets any more than they
are by dirty or poorly paved streets

of slOvenly civic housekeeping.
Most streets and highways are plant

block. of every conceivable size, form,
color and degree of desirability. Such
planting looks as irrational as an or

VIM. S. Lyon, in his Gardening in
California; says: ''There is one feat
ure in the planting of street trees that
calls for special attention. This is the
reprehensible practice of planting a
tumble of sorts upon the same block
Not only is the effect as whole bad,
but the individual beauty of each is
lost in the Kaleidoscope shifting of
form and color, that only serves to con

Little can be done toward uniform
planting looks rs irrational as an or.
rected cooperation on the part of all
interested. There must be a unity
and intelligence of plan, and the work
should be carried on by the farmers
clubs and Improvement associations,
those necessary organizations which
do not presume to tell the community
how it should spend its money, but
only how it may get, with efficiency,

pOrtance that a plan be outlined on

hood should be attractive, and will
