Her wistful face upturns to mine
Meath locks of sOmber gold,
With little lips Of carmiDe hue
And wOndring eyes pleading blue,
SO like their mother-mOld,
In fancy's thra wait and watch

To see her lisping lips enframe
The sound that gives to wife name

| Like buds of some frail flower;
| I hear her laugh-the birds at dawn
| Sing not so sweet-and then she's gone, y

Governor Johnson ProcIaims
April "a Arbor and Bird Day.

Governor John A. johnson has proclaimed Friday
part is as follows:
In thus publicly designating Friday, April a. as
Arbor and Bird Day for 1908 it is in the hope not of
calling up sentimental enthu sasm for the day,
but of arousing, for and always the slumbering
tree instinct to practical activity and OF provoking the
already awakened interest to further good work
Now, however beautiful, however desirable, how
necessary may be the individual tree it is not
enough that plant school
munity one tree to dozen trees with all the
mony attendant upon cornerstone laying to stand
here and there sporadic instances of we'll intentioned
but futile recognition Of their aesthetic value If we
to account for the past must make permanent
provision for the future
As nc rational home builder would dream of per-
hitting that one design the foundation another
the superstructure neither should one individual, on
this day set aside for the general veal, make his soil
tary contribution to shade and beauty by planting
time that his neighbor sets up elm to guard his
gate.
To this plea for larger place for arboreal life in
thoughts and in the objective world about
there little call to call for the southern folk of
the woods Take of the trees and the trees will
take of the birds, who with twitterng cheerful
and irrepressible outburst, hymn the eternal
goodness in happier voice than their pathetic

The special session brought a show
down, however, and now republicans
seem to feel that they have the temp

The union labor field with $4,000
voters furnishes an arena for great
political combat. The democrats have
the lead at the start but the republic
cans are not only hopeful but conf
dent They insist that unionists will
stand for a square deal. The republi-
cans think that the Federation of La
Dor has been dominated by a number
of men more interested in the brewery
and liquor business than in the cause
of organized labor and that the better
element of the ugionists are Disguised

drama of the season is B. E. Forces
ter's production of THE Little Organ
Grinder" now playing at the Calumet
theater, south Chicago, with a company
of exceptional. ability. The play is

neither pains nor expense have been
spared to make it one of the most pre-
tentious that have yet been put upon
the road
The leading dramatic critics of the
country who have seen the play have
dealt with it most generously and pre-
dict it is one of the coming big sue
cesses of the season. Both the press
and public have praised 1T lavishly,
particularly on account of its being alb
