When the pipes were all going well
Judge Adams arose in his place and
took up the sheets before him; and
here is what they contained:

Idea of the vagaries of our idle brains.
There was the Governor of the Cigar
islands in the person of Davies, a
brilliant student who had already
made his mark as stump speaker.
There was Clarity, otherwise the Duke
of Vermilion, who could cite by sec.
ton and chapter parallel to any
case you might mention in the Illinois
reports up to the one hundred and
thirty-fourth volume; he quit at Vol.
1874 and went back to Blackstone.
There was little Tom Childress, digni.
fed by the title of Lord Mayor of
Conlogue, who used to amuse himself
by turning Cooley's Constitutional Law
into Latin blank verse. And there
was Diaz, a ranting Irishman with
a Spanish name, who claimed to be

Patriotic Order of Sons of Shay's
Rebellion, who loved joke as he did

the title of Lord High Admiral of the

of great Irish victory.

Merrick of Napoleon in the city last
evening. The Judge spent six weeks
in visiting the south this winter.

visited the graves of the presidents
who are buried in Richmond. He fol-

raid are evident. He visited Savan-
nah and spent some delightful days

He was present in Hampton Roads
and on a steamer saw the war ves-

Roosevelt as plainly as if he were on
board. He had a complete rest and

MISSOURI SLOPE EDUCATIONAL
Meeting REPORTED TO HAVE
BEEN FINE.
Glen u'lin Will Keep Teachers by
Treating Them Right - Surround
ings Said to Have Much to Do
With Success Of Teaching-Teach-
err Should Be Friend.

Superintendent Vigness returned
from the meeting Of the Missouri
Slope Educational association Satur-
day night. He expressed himself as
very much pleased with the meet
ing. Among other things he said
that the large attendance was a
pleasing surprise to everybody.
Many excellent papers we're read and
each one ELECTED a live discussion.
The paper by Superintent Lorin of
Morton county, on "How to Secure
and Retain Qualified Teachers" Great
ed splendid discussion. The idea of
good wages, home like school inviron-
ments, systematic cooperation and
encouragement from the patrons, was
especially emphasized.
1--WE get many excellent teachers
from the older states" said Mr.. Wig
ness. 1.-THE teachers come from "well
built and attractive homes. They
are placed on the bleak prairies in
cherries school houses. Possibly
their boarding places may be miles
from the school house and equally
cherries. The teacher becomes dis
couraged and inconsistencies follows
The result is that when the contract
expires the teacher leaves never to
return, and we must begin our hunt
for another teacher. Kind, sympa-
thetic treatment will go. far to retain
a good teacher and will encourage
even the mediocre teacher to better
work. 1t demonstrates to the teach
er that she is among friends whe
take an interest in her work.
Supt Kitchen of Billings county,
stated that at a recent meeting of the
school officers in his county it was
agreed to pay second grade teachers
not less than $55 per month. This
will bring many good teachers into
the county. In talking about sym
pathetic treatment the meeting was
almost taken off it's feet when one
tea cher from the Glen Ullin school
took the floor and announced that
she knew Of zone school board that
would retain it's teachers and that was
tie Glen Ullin board of which the
Hon. Mr.. Burns, member of the last
legislature, is president. This board
had closed it's school, purchased tick
cts for it's four teachers to Dickinson
and had telephoned ahead for hotel
accommodations and sent all their
teachers to attend this meeting. This
board has established precedent
which it would not hurt other boards
to adopt. 1t goes without saying that
teachers when treated in this way
will remain and will give their school
their very best services with a cheer
full heart This item of expense will
prove good investment in more
ways than one for the Glen Ullin
schools. I mention this as a most
worthy action

NEW ARTIFICIAL FOREST TREE.
Eucalyptus Planting in Southern
Texas is Gaining in Interest.

The interest which land owners
and investors in Southern Texas are
taking in the possibilities of eucalyp-
tus growing on a commercial scale is
becoming more and more marked.
In case eucalyptus planting should
prove to be practicable in this re-
gion, it would rapidly assume great
economic Importance. Owing to the
general lack of knowledge concern
ing its possibilities. and the increas-
ing demand for information, rep
resentative of the United States For
est Service has been detailed to make
brief study of eucalyptus planting
in the lower Rio Grande Valley in
the north coast region of Texas.
So far as the present investigation
has extended, Eucalyptus rostrate,
or red gum, is the principal species
of eucalyptus which has been found
planted in Texas This tree has been
found planted as single specimens or
in very small groups, from San An
tonic south to the Mexican border.
wnen planted along the route of the
St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico rail-
road, this species, which is known,
by the way, as one of the most
frost-resistant of eucalyptus, was kill
led back by a very light January
frost as far south as the northern
boundary of Cameron county. One
specimen of red gum, planted four
years ago at Corpus Christi in San
Patricio county, which had attained
a height of about thirty-fiv feet
was killed back during this frost.
1t is understood that the tempera-
ture did not fall below twenty-six
degrees Fahrenheit The tempera-
ture for some time preceding the
drop was quite warm. 1t would
seem, therefore, that this duration
of high temperature in late winter,
followed by frost even though
slight, will prove to be the limiting
factor in determining the planting
range of eucalyptus in this region,
rather than the minimum tempera-
ture.
Below the twenty-seyenth parallel
of latitude the oldest eucalyptus thus
far found have been planted two
years. In this region both blue gum,
E. globulus, and red gum, E. rOstra-
ia, have been noted growing well
without apparently having suffered
injury from frost; however, the data
thus far collected does not seem to
warrant the recommending of eucal-
yptus planting on commercial scale
even so far south as this. Exten-
sive experiments with the hardest
species of ecalyptus will be necessary
to determine the practicability of
making any considerable investment
in EUCALYPTUS planting in South
eastern Texas.-San Antonio Ely
