Rock for the post Of gravedigger. His
references were good, and the minister

at Marseilles in spectacular play in

Turks would accompany Nine. Bern
hardt, but when the time came for
them to go on one of the Youngsters
had disappeared Sarah mustered the
five in order and made her entrance
with Il grand flourish. The house was
crowded, but not a handicap greeted
her as she appeared. Then still, small
voice in the gallery murmured some
thing in an indignant tone. Fifty
voices Immediately took up the strain,
and In ten seconds more the whole
house was shouting the same phrase.
Bernhardt strained every nerve to
catch what they were complaining
about She knew the phrase began
with "ManQuc." but the rest of ii was
lost in the general hubbub. For a full
minute the tumult continued. Then
Sarah. muttering things below her
breath. rushed like a fury down to the
fOotlightS. In the front row the aC
tresS had spotted one man who was not
taking part In the hullabaloo. Pointing
at him, the actress exclaimed stcrnly:
you seem to be the only sensible per
son in the house. Tell me what on
earth they are kicking up this row
for?"
The man rose, bowed to the actress
and remarked in very bad American

BENEFITS FROM TREES.
Twelve Excellent Reasons For Plant
IND Than In Cities or Towns.

Twelve Excellent Reasons For Plant
ing Them In Cities or Towns.
CITY Forester FROST of Chicago gives
twelve reasons why a city or town
should plant trees, They are the fol-
lowing:
Trees are beautiful in form and color,
inspiring a constant appreciation Of
nature.
Trees enhance the beauty of archi-
lecture.
Trees create sentiment, lCye of coup-
try. state. city and home.
Trees have an educational influence
upon citizens OF all ages. especially
children.
Trees encourage outdoor life.
Trees purify the air.
Trees cool the air in summer and
radiate warmth in winter.
Trees improve climate and conserve
soil and moisture.
Trees furnish resting places and shell
ter for birds.
Trees increase the value Of real es-
tate.
Trees protect the pavement from the
heat of the sun.
Trees counterfeit adverse conditions
of city life.
In the campaign of making the civic
motto "Urbs in horto" or "city set
in a garden come true he declares
that the women Of Chicago are on the
front lines.
THE home means more to n woman
than to a man." he says "Tho women
of Chicago deserve great credit for the
good they have accomplished by lead
ing and inspiring efforts to establish
the permanently of this tree work
Women are always mindful of thu
beauty. love and sympathy developed
by the planting of flowers. shrubs anr
trees around the home"

When City Forester FROST of Chicago

and shrubbcry planting before the

More can be urged for tree than
that 1t improves the beauty OF thor
