City Government Urged to Take up Work of Repairing and Sprinkling streets-club Becomes Member Of County Chamber Of Commerce.

Tree-panting was the principal topic of discussion at the meeting of the Ten Thousand Club in the Palm roof garden last Monday night. The program committee had expected to have special speakers present, but was able only to offer letters of re- gret from Mir D. T. Jones, of Brawley and Mir. F. N. Chaplin, of Holtville Mr. Jones urged the planting of trees everywhere-on the farm, on the city lot, along streets, alleys and fences, wherever there is room for a tree and water can be obtained. Mir Chaplin was in hearty accord with the purpose of the meeting, but was unable to at tend because of business engagements. He is giving practical demonstration of his interest in arboriculture by planting thousands of trees on his ranch.
 w. F. Holt, who was present as a guest of the club and became a mem- Der before the end of the meeting told of early experiences in tree-plant- ing at Holtville. When the town was started, 1900 peppers and 1,2OO palms were set out. Many of the peppers were lost because they did not root deeply and were blown over by the winds. Lack of expert care made the experiment something of a failure, yet enough trees survived to make a con siderable show of vegetation, and visi- tors to the valley generally remarked that Holtville is the most attractive of all the towns because of it's trees MT. Holt urged that definite plan of action be devised and put into opera tion before fall, in order that there may be system in the selection of vari- cities of shade trees and that provision may be made for irrigation.
 Plan Of Operations.
 MT. Carter outlined a method which had been tried with success else where, and suggested that the cost of planting and caring for trees be esti- mated, and each owner of lot in the city be informed as to his proportion and requested to contribute the sum

graceful sufferer, not historical or tire

Lady Lochinvar. "I am fond Of young
people, and will do my best to amuse her.
I will send my carriage for her at half

Mildred explained her responsibility
with regard to Pamela and the young
lady's position, with its substantial at
traction for the adventurer in search of a

RELIC OF OLD LOUISBURG.

Harvard's Cross that Pepperell's
Men Brought from Stronghold.
In a closet in the library at Harvard
College is stored Il of the few exist
ing relics of the campaign of Sir Will
lam Pepperell and his New Englanders
against the French stronghold of Louis
burg, in the year 1745.
This relic is an iron cross that is be-
lieved to have adorned a church in Lou
isburg. How it came into the posses
sion of Harvard is not known at this
time, us no antiquarian has ever taken
the trouble, it appears, to establish It's
history, since it became a college pos
session.
About sixty years ago John L. Sib-
ley, then librarian at Harvard, found
the cross in a lot of discarded articles
stored in one Of the smaller buildings
on the, college grounds. 1t was marked
with a tag, on which was written the
statement that the cross was brought
from Louisburs by n Of Pepperelps
soldiers. MIR. Sibley attempted to trace
the history of the relic in order to dis
cover under what circumstances, n
by whom, it was presented to the col
lege, but, so far as his successor knows,
he made no Roadway in his quest.
In 1871, shortly after it's discovery by
Mr.. Sibley, the cross was stored in a
small building that stood back of the
Charles River National Bank, near the
college. The building was burned in
1916, and the cross was found in it's
ashes, unchanged except for slight pit
ting caused by the heat.
Taken in hand by Justin Winsor,
hen librarian, the cross vas given 4
heavy coat Of gliding, such as it had
borne originally, and was fixed to the
east wall Of Gore Hall, in the library
building. Here it remained for many
years, until alterations made its remov-
al from the wall necessary.
1t was next stored in the cellar Of
the library. remaining there until the
early SOS, when il was firmly fixed in
the stone peak of the gable over the
entrance to the library. Here it re-
manned an object of interest to all who
saw it, and heard of it's origin until
October, 1895, when some mischievous
person broke it Off neal the base and
carried it away.
No trace Of the thief was obtained,
and hope of securing the return Of the
relic was given up, when, in the night
Of Jan. I, 1897, the cross was returned
to the roof of the library portico and
placed at the base of the gable, prob
ably by the person who took 1t away
