Yesterday the statement was ulaue
in this column that the trouble with
the Tigers was their protuberant self
esteem Yesterday their difficulty was
a more serious one.
THE TIGERS SULKED.
Opposed by the greatest sort OF
pitching. there was still ever the
chance that they might tie the score.
and, so far as the actual count of runs
was concerned. they were never where
one good. sound drive might not have
put them right in the hunt.
Winter wasn't pitching as grand
bah as Joss, but he was lucky IN wig

succession. and swung so wildly that
ON several occasions they were forced
to shamefacedly chase their bats away
out on the diamond, the sticks having
escaped from their grasp in their
hinges at Joss elusive twisters.
With nobody on base the coaching
was naturally more or less lost art,
but the fans listened in vain for the
.clatter that usually comes from the
Detroit bench. In Its stead, gloom was
perched on every visible countenance
and the players emerged from the dug
out only t. axe their turn in the field
or at the bat.

Hiqh School Notes

Victory has again perched upon
our banner.
Our football team went to Bevier
last Saturday and played the Be-
vier team, beating them by score
of 26 too.
Although but few went from
here to Beveir last Saturday, the
football team didn't lack rooters,
as the Bevier girls cheered every
time a good play was made, and
our boys were always making them.
Marceline will try her luck against
our team here to day. Marceline
is reported to have a strong team,
but nevertheless our boys are con-
fdent of another victory.
The challenge Of the sophomore
basket ball team to play any six
girls in the high school has been
accepted, and the game will be call
ed today at 2:3O at Bruins ball
park. There is great rivalry be-
tween the two teams and an excit-
ing game is expected.
Just as school was being called
to order Thursday morning the
roof of the building was discovered
to be on fire. Through prompt
work of Janitor Hawes and others
the fire was soon reached and put
out with only a few dollars damage.
The fire is thought to have started
from a spark or SCOT dropping from
the top of the chimney.

REPUBLICANS CELEBRATE
A Biu Time in tho Old Town Last Saturday
Night Over Election Results

The great republican victory in
state and nation was fittingly cele-
brated in Laclede last Saturday
night. There was big bonfire
and the anvils doomed. Patriotic
music by the Wheeling band and
Welsh's drum corps stirred the
throng to vociferous shouting and
rejoicing. When Chairman F. W.
Burke called for order fully two
thousand people crowded about the
band stand to hear the speaking.
A splendid address was made by
Attorney M. E. Burke, who made
q fine race for representative and
carried the county by over a hun
dred majority outside of Marceline,
the home of his successful opponent.
Addresses were also made by Ira S.
Gardner, the brilliant young pros
ecuting attorney-elect, and that
splendid official and popular citizen,
Sheriff Geo. w. Anderson, who
was reelected by handsome ma
jority. Attorney Chas. K. Hart
of Brookfeld also made an address
that was full of patriotic sentiment
and was enthusiastically received.
And then there was a parade sew

and shouting while the bands play

something to carry back to heaven
There were three things that at
tracted the attention of the white
winged messenger-a bouquet O

blooming gardens, the smile of {
little baby that had been playing
with a sunbeam, and a mother

ried away, but when it reached the
pearly gates of paradise the flowers
had withered-the baby's smile haG
vanished. Only the mothers love
remained the same, and being found
as pure and eternal as the waters
that flowed by Gods throne, all the
angels that ranged above exclaim-
ed in unison: There is nothing on
earth pure enough for heaven but a
mothers love?" This was a trib-
ute containing a sublime thought.
And through all the ages it has
been human experience that the
angels referred to in that legend
were not over extravagant in the
message which they passed out
through the open windows of the
many mansions" along the banks
of the river of gold.
A young man presented an en-
gagement ring to lovely girl he
had won with the remark, Il am
poor but you manage as mother
does and We'll get along nicely"
The young lady investigated how
mother managed" She was a
wife, a mother, a housekeeper, a
business manager, a hired girl, a
laundress, a seamstress, mender
and patcher, dairy maid, a cook,
a nurse, a kitchen gardner, and a
general slave for a family of five.
She works from five in the morn
ing until 10 at night, and I almost
wept when I kissed her hand-it
was so hard and wrinkled, and
corded and unkissed. When saw
her polishing the stove, carrying
big buckets of water and great arm
fuls of wood, often splitting the
latter, my heart failed me, and it
needless to say the ring was return

Keren-happuch or Keturah, or ner son

be a strange survival of the taste of
former times. The romantic names of
the eighteenth century have fortunate

1t was said of the ancient Jews that
one generation stoned the prophets
and the next generation built monu
ments in their memory. Something
like this might be said of the American
people and their forests. The last gen.
Grafton wantonly wasted and almost
destroyed the virgin forests of the
country, and the present generation
atones for it by trying to replace them
At one time 1t really looked as if these
forests were so extensive that defor.
estation was impossible. But the time
mas already come when white pine and
the nard woods have almost disappear +.
ed and when the barren hillsides. in.
stead OF absorbing and holding the
rains, have turned the water courses
into alternate floods and dry beds
thereby destroying the water power and
inf1icting loss instead of producing
wealth. Almost every newspaper and
magazine that Is now issued contains
an alarming article or item in regard
to the ruined forests. The best the
present generation can do Is to check
deforestation and plant more trees
Happily both the United States govern
ment and many of the State govern
ments are now doing all they can to ac.
complish these ends. In 1895 the Leg
islature Of Illinois enacted the follow
Ing law: "The Governor shall annual
ly, In the spring, designate by official
proclamation day to be designated
'Arbor Day. to be observed through
out the State as a day for planting
trees, shrubs and vines about the homes
and along highways and about public
grounds within this State, thus contrib
uting to the wealth, comforts and at
fractions of our State" This law,
albeit 1t does not appear to have been
drafted by any professor of English
literature, Is one Of the most salutary
statutes In the State code. From the
day when 1t was instituted Arbor Day
has been duly observed, and with great
enthusiasm. Tree planting is an act of
philanthropy. For the man who plants
tree hardly expects to enjoy the ben
eft of it. His thought is, or should be,
that almost every good thing that ne
enjoys Is the result of the labors and
forethought of previous generations,
and that, therefore, the least he can do
is to provide in some little way for the
generation that is to follow him. The
cynic who says, "Posterity never did
anything for me and l do not mean to
do anything for posterity" ought to be
made to feel mean.
