the day, reaps without sowing, and
consumes without outstanding, must
expect the penalty Of the prodigal,

"A people without children would
face a hopeless future; a country with
out trees is almost as hopeless. For
ests which are so used that they can
not renew themselves will soon vanish,
and with them all their benefits. A
true forest is not merely a storehouse
full Of wood, but, as it were, a factory
of wood, and at the same time reser-
voi1 of water.
When you help to preserve our for.
ests or to plant new ones you are act
ing the part Of good citizens. The
value of forestry deserves, therefore,
to be taught in the schools, which aim
to make good citizens of you. If your
Arbor day exercises help you to re-
alize what benefits each one of you re-
ceives from the forests, and how by
your assistance these benefits may
continue, they will serve a good end.

HAMPT TON COURT.
Stories OF the Haunted English Royal

Stories OF the Haunted English Royal
5 Palace.
81 Tales Of uncanny happenings cling to
old Hampton court, the English royal
palace on the Thames built by Cardinal
Wolsey. Not long ago Il policeman as
serted that he saw a ghostly funeral
procession there. The London Chronicle
remarks !. The most definite Of these
Did stories concerns Mistress She'll
Penn, who was Edward Wis nurse and
died at the palace In 1862. She was
buried in Hampton church, and
monument was erected which was ir-
Efeyerently destroyed when the old
church was pulled down in 1929. Soon
after this strange noises as of a woman
working spinning wheel were heard
through the wall of one of the rooms
In the southwest wing of the palace.
When search was made by the office Of
works an ancient chamber was dis
covered in which an antique spinning
wheel was found, the old oak planks
being. worn away where the treadle
struck the floor. After this Mrs. PENIS
ghostis said to have appeared to many
occupants Of the palace; but, according
to Law, the historian Of Hampton
court, she has not been seen since 1886,
when her tall, gaunt form, dressed in
q long gray robe, nearly frightened a
young soldier to death.
Another well accr edited story relates
how certain lady Of title who lived on
the west side OF the Fountain court In
1870 was frequently conscious Of the
presence in her room Of two invisible
beings, and she was greatly disturbed
by the mysterious sounds that emanat-
ed from various quarters Of her apart
ments She addressed a formal COM
plant to the lord chamberlain. This
gentleman referred her to the Office Of
works. which, however, declined to in
terfere on the ground that there were
no funds at their disposal for any such
purpose and that the Jurisdiction Of the
first commissioner did not extend to
the spirit world al
AT last, however, on Nov. 2, 1871,
some workmen, while excavating in the
cloister Of the Fountain court, came up
on two perfect skeletons Of full grown
men opposite to Lady Is door, They
were given Christian burial in Hamp-
ton church, and the mysterious noises
Immediately ceased. Now the only
ghost that Is seen In the palace is that

sionally wanders, with lighted taper

A Country Without Trees
Faces a Hopeless Future
Roosevelt Addresses
An ArbOf Day Message to
the School Children Of
the United States

Washington, April 22. President
Roosevelt has addressed ito the school
children of the United States a mes
sage on the significance of Arbor Day,
which is celebrated in many of the
states in April. He says to them it is
well that they should celebrate the
day thoughtfully and that when they
help to preserve our forests or to plant
new ones they are. acting the part of
good citizens
The message is as follows:
To the School Children of the Unit
ed States: Arbor Day, which means
simply tree day is now observed in
every state in our unionand mainly
in the schools. At various times from
January to December, but chiefly in
this month Of April, you give a day or.
part of a day to special exercises and
perhaps to actual tree planting, in
recognition of the Importance Of trees
to us as a nation, and of what they
yield In adornment, comfort and use
full products to the communities in
which you live.
1t is well that you should celebrate
your Arbor Day thoughtfully. for with
in your lifetime the nations need of
trees will become serious. We OF an
older generation can get along with.

but for what we have wasted.
For the nation. as for the man or
woman and the boy or girl, the road to-
success is the right use Of what we
have and the improvement Of present
opportunity If you neglect to prepare
yourselves now for the duties and re-
sponsibilities which will fall upon you
later, If you do not learn the things
which you will need to know when

They are delicate organs Of touch,

gland, neryed to exquisite sensibiIity.
Its slightest contact with any obstacle

the hair itself is tough and insensible.
Those exaggerated WHISPERS on the

FRENCH PEASANTS.
They Know Nothing About Cooking as
\, a Fire Art.


We are accustomed to think Of cook.
Ing as being universal art among the
French. We seem to have heard
vaguely of delicious repasts concocted
out of nothing with the help of a char
coal fire and a small pot. NJ
Certainly among the bourgeoisie that
miracle seems sometimes to accom-
plish itself, but in the matter Of cook
cry as a fine art the peasant belongs to
q different world. He knows very lit
tie about it and does not wish to know,
because it is regarded as a costly and
unnecessary luxury. His breakfast
consists Of thin soup made of beans
and water, with perhaps a taste Of ba-
con for favoring and thin slices Of
brown bread to give it substance. Po-
tatoes and one. other sh--frequently
coarse sort Of pancake form the
MONDAY meal. The supper will be
more sustaining with thin wine or
cider as a beverage. 5
Jacques Bonhomme has a perfect
genius for discovering things which
are good for food, which yet cost moth
ing, and sometimes he eats things that
seem revolving to us, though am
quite willing to admit that clean or IN
1 clean In the matter of food Is largely a
question Of inherited prejudice.
Normandy Is "a rich province, and its
peasants are better fed than those Of
other parts of the country. There is a
tradition that in olden days meat was
so cheap and plentiful that 1t was used
& to feed the pigs at the inconsistencies.
They drink a great deal Of cider, espe-
cially In the pays de Caux, Z and II IS
7 said that this is the explanation of
their bad teeth. The dress Of the
peasant women in this part Of Nor
mandy is extremely picturesque, with
the long frilled cloak and the hood,
which sometimes reveals a pretty, pi-
quaint face.
Il AS a contrast to the general frugali-
n ty of the peasants lives there are the
wedding feasts and other festivities,
when they eat eno1mo usly, apparently
having the power Of la wing. in a stock

HI. RAYMOND. VISITS Ed. PORTER
ExDaWsOne Says the Key Largo Region Off the Southern
Coast Of Florida is the Fishing Ground
in the United States

Retirement from public Office at tn
end of Virtuous career in the service
of the people is after all an ideal stat,
the cares and controversies of offic,
laid aside, the laurels of victory Sc
curely fastened upon the brow or huns
up in the woodshed, and everything
given over to peacec, quiet and con
tentment. AS realization of the pic
ture, we quote the following from s
letter of H. H. Raymond, formerly O
Dawson, to the Steele Ozone, undel
date of April 1: @ ,
r. This is great and picturesque
section for cruising and fishing
and is on such a large scale that
one is entirely out of sight of the
main land of Florida in many
I, places, though islands, reefs and
shoals are not many miles ANYWAY
at any time.
This is undoubtedly the greatest
fishing grounds in the United
States, many fishermen making
good wages catching them with
hand lines at a market price of
one or two cents a pound. The
shooting is of little account in
most places, though there are
deer bear, turkey and quail, wild
cat, possum, coon and skunk back
from settlements a few miles.
Such another place for coons we
have never heard of, and when we
say scoons' we mean raccoons
and not negroes.

years. Occasionally, between articles
friendly to prohibition, he hints that
he feels that way now But he is GER

Catholics in France 10 Retaliate on the French Government
 By Action al Ballot Box
APPEAL TO FAITHFUL
Cardinal Richards Protest Will Be Read in All inc Churches of Paris TO-M0rroW Unless Stopped
 By the Authorities.

Paris, Jan 5.--Developments ill the church and state situation continue to indicate that the vatican authorities feel constrained to vindicate their course. by which church property in France to the value of $120,O0O, 600 was forfeited by the rejection of ev- erything offered by the government, and will even order the clergy to leave the churches in the hope of driving the French Catholics to de- mand redress at the ballot box.
 Bishop LaCroix. of Tarentaiso. sit- uated in n poor mountainous region of France. has received orders from the vatican necessitating the dissolu- ton of an association which he had formed with the object of retaining the church property in order to sup port the stricken clergy of his diocese.
 Many bishops have begun to issue appeals to the faithful for funds, painting the spoliation of the church in the blackest colors. Cardinal Rich ards appeal, which will be read in the churches of Paris tomorrow, will say in part:
 The spoliation of the church in France will soon be complete. The government has repudiated it's sacred obligation by expressing the public worship budget. The small recom- pense which is accorded will not pay for what Is owing to the clergy for the property seized during the revo- lution. The bishops and priests have been driven from their homes and the government has stripped the church of all the property received. owing to the liberality of the faithful durnig the past century.

displays all his old time vigor of style and clearness of ideas. He says in part:
 Religion is truth and goodness, the church falsehood and evil. I tell you frankly I cannot agree with those who believe the church is an organi- xntion indispensable to religion. The church has ever been cruel and ly- ing institution which in seeking for temporal advantages has perverted and distorted the true christian doc Urine. All the concordats have been for it nothing but compacts with the state whereby the church supported the state in return for specific ma terial advantages. Christianity has ever been simply a pretext for the church. may be told that there have been and still are in the Catho- lie world men and women of holy life, but l answer that these sninted lives are not due to the church but rather in spite of the church.
 .In spite of all the efforts of church and state to unite the two principals. true christianity Qove. humility and kindness) and that of the state fphy- eical force and violence)--the contra diction has become in our time so fla grant that solution is bound to come.
 Several symptoms prove this: First, the religious movement Is not con- fined to France. but exists in all christian countries; second. the revo- lution in Russia. third. the extraor- dinary' military and industrial pro- gress which is manifesting itself in the Orient in China and especially in Japan. The. present religious move ment which is going on not only in Catholic countries. but in the whole world is, believe. nothing but the unrest accompanying the exit from the dilemma"
