A Start in Life.

The following item from the Amer
lean Cultivator, refers to an apple
orchard. We do not grow apples, but
much smaller orange grove would
answer the same purpose:
Suppose your father, when you
were boy, had set out a ten-acre
orchard for you and had taken care
of it until you were twenty-one;
wouldn't that have given you a start?
Why not do it for your boy?

A Locust Tree.

One cluster of these hanging vines
is fully ten feet long and is pendant
from the end of horizontal limb
that is twelve feet long and the low
est end Of the vine is twenty feet
from the ground. Within a foot of
the end of the vines an Orio1e built
her nest, and on the end of another
vine pendant from the same limb an
other Oriole built her nest.
A large Burberry bush grows
within the shadow of this tree-its
branches are ten feet high and near
the top of them there is the largest
birds nest that I ever saw. and 7

The Blgnonia planted by this tree
was sent to me by friend living in
Tennessee. It seems to be of rather
more delicate variety than the Big
nonlas growing wild here; the stems
are more slender, the leaves more
delicate, the flowers are larger. more
open, and of richer, more decided
red in color.

into bloom early in July, and contin-

all parts of the tree and it's branch

this tree and vines alone, but all the
trees and vines in the yard were re-
sponsive.
Now, here were not any harsh col

glazing shades or garish effects, but,
as soft, beautiful co1ors as were ever
beheld by mortal eyes.
While the leaves, last Fall, did not
show the brilliant coloring of former
seasons, there was a lavish display of
colors deep, and pure and exceeding

shades and merging Of tints. There
were many shades Of browns-of
browns soft and srbdued, of bronzie-
browns and russets tinted with gold.
There were golden yellow; tawny
yellows; and yellows deep-toned and
rich. The greens ran through innum-

Suicide as Experiment.

A wealthy young man named Lean

at cafe in Naples called for pen and
ink and wrote a number Of notes and
letters. He then quietly took out a
small revolver and shot himself in the
breast. One Of the letters found in his
pocket runs:

1.-THE Almighty Dollar"

A recent headline, "Rule Of the Dol
lar has suggested the inquiry, Who
originated the familiar phrase "the
almighty dollar?" 1t was Washington
Irving in 1.-The Creole Village" which
he published in 1887. The phrase be-
came so popular and excited so much
controversy in consequence of doubt
whether the adjective was irreverent
that it's author had to explain eighteen
years later that he had intended mo
irreverence, even to the dollar, which
he is we'll aware Is becoming daily
more and more an object of worship"
Dollar" is certainly one Of the worlds
great words now, and it is difficult to
realize that it only means 'valleyer,"
the "thaler" having been named after
the Joachimsthal, In Bohemia, in whose
valley it was first coined in the six
teenth century.-London Chronicle.

her must be given the credit of max

Miss Mary Burch gave the toast of
welcome to the new graduates and it
was gem. Miss Grace Schlum-

the class to finish with neat little
toast. Prof. Fellows responded to the
toast "The Man Behind the Gun"
and did exceedingly we'll. Miss
Marshall read jolly toast written by
John B. Romans. who was to busy
getting ready to be married to be
present in person. The toast was
just like John and means that it was
enjoyable and full of good wit. The
toast of the evening was delivered by
Miss Culmer. 1t was beautiful pro
duction. The tribute paid to Prof.
Savage was fine and we'll deserved.
If it had been the only toast of the
evening one would have been we'll re-

A FINE GRADUATION.
Closing of Denison Schools was
a Brilliant Affair.
ATTENDANCE WAS LARGE
Prof Mcbride Delivers Exquisite Ad-
dress-Handsome Presents.

The commencement exercises of the
Denison High School on Thursday
evening was as brilliant an affair as
anyone could wish. The opera house
was crowded with friends and adj
mirers and the program was eminent
ly satisfactory. The graduating class
made fine appearance and many
complimentary comments were made
on the class and the bright young
boys and girls who made it notable.
The musical numbers were good. es-
pecially so the solo given by Miss
Hazel Nash. which was enthusiastic
ally encored. The class song was also
something out of the ordinary. both
the words and the music have been
written by Miss Grace Schlumberger
one of the talented graduates. Both
as writer and as a musical compos-
er. Miss Schlumberger gained many
cnconiums for her work.
The address by Prof. Thos. H. Nc
Bride was perfect gem. 1t was a
real feast. No surprise to those who
knew the man. who is one of the
greatest and most highly honored ed
ucators of the world to-day. but a
pleasant and unexpected treat to
those who had expected nothing more
than the ordinary commencement adj

food for much thought. The diction
