But the movers for the special election were insistent and as the law is man datory or appears to be. there is nOth- ing for the b@ard to do but act on the petition as presented
 The friends of the movement wera around yesterday again soliciting other siSners whose names were later ap- pended to the petition which was sub mitted some days ago. Though they believed that they had enough then. but the new names were collected as a crecaution.

Mir. W. H. Greene whose interesting letters regarding the country about Tampieo. Mexico have been printed hy The Republican for the last two years has sent to this office a bottle of water from the Fountain of Perpetual Youth found by Spanish adventurers under Ponce De Leon. on the Gulf of Mexico opposite Tampico 4OO years ago. The sspring was pointed out to the visitors by the native Aztecs who told them that those who drank of the fountain would never grow old. The water is of the purest crystal. In pre- senting il MT, Greene writes: Drink ye all of it and more; may you have perpetual youth"
 Whatever may have been the virtues of the water the Spaniards settled there and built Pueblo ViejO which Is be- lieved to be the first settlement in America. It is now an ancient looking village inhabited mostly by fishermen
 Mir. Greene sent also samples of the wild sweet oranges which grow in great prOfusiOn in that part of the country and some wild lemons which are going to waste by the wagon loads. The or anges are of the size of the average Washington navel. have a little thicker rind but most delicious flavor.
 The cultivation of oranges has be- come a great industry in that part of Mexico which is absolutely free of frost. Oranges at four and five years of age are in full bearing and equal in size to California orange trees ten or twelve years old

This Is a monument to the zeal of a Jesuit priest, Rev. J. E. De- Schryver. At the dedication the pa triotic Belgian speakers even claimed ST. Patrick for Belgium. although Archbishop Quigley and Bishop Null doom were present to deny this for old Ireland. Americans are too apt to think of Belgium as an unimportant province in the Netherlands" said Nil. Streyckmans. Belgium has given dynasties to France and saints and soldiers to the world from the time of St. Patrick to that of Father de Smet and Father Damien. What hero was greater than Godfrey de Bouillon. the crusader. who. when offered the crown of Jerusalem. said he would never wear crown of gold where his Lord had worn a crown of thorns.

Gymnasiums for the fire fighters of Chicago has been proposed by Chief Horan. because the department has made such a good record for the year that more exercise is needed for the men. The fire losses of the year of i,000,0O0 are not so small as to be remarkable for the Chicago department when politics Is kept out of it; but it is a noteworthy fact that no fire has got beyond the walls within which it started. Better accommodations in the fire.houses for the comfort of the men are needed. New York's department has a similar area to protect against fire and twice as many men in the de- partment, yet the losses each year are nearly double those in Chicago. In 1905 the losses in New York were s7.OS2. i39 as, against SS,O62. .931. although New York's department comprised 2S77 men and Chicago's only 1215.

Thousand of square miles in the lake region from which the Mississippi gets it's supply are SO rapidly being stripped daily of trees that already the present and future flow of the stream is affected.

Under the general head of conserving the country's natural resources President Roosevelt in his last message pointed out the need for such steps as this. In Germany and other European coun- tries the forests for years have been carefully guarded against such waste as now is taking place in northwest Minnesota without check. Investiga- tions of the ravages which have been in progress in the Minnesota forests already presage startling revelations of ruthless waste, by overflow waters at flood water dams that are never opened, and of illegal numbering in the interior where the pine lumber trust" holds absolute rule. regardless of law or the future of the country.

A rainbow of domestic happiness be- cause servant girls are plentiful thanks to heavy immigration-is arched brilliantly above Chicago this New Year season. IL is only a few short months since the housewives of this city were forced to organize in order to try to secure the help they needed and were willing to pay well for. Now it is an organization of the servant girls that has hung out a flag ot distress. On one dav their league had 3l3 more applications for places than there were places To be filled. most of the surplus cooks. laundresses and general house. work girls being Scandinavians. The high wages which resulted from the recent shortage. allured many girls who expected to step into a S6-a-week job as soon as they and their baggage reached Chicago. and il has proved a keen disappointment to find they must wait. Many households have reduced the number of servants as one means ot retrenchment during the days of 'inancial uncertainties. Similarly there has been a noticeable curtailment in the automobile repair bills. although Chicago has not seen the stamDede to sell eXpensive limousine cars thaf has marked the days of sorrow in New York.
