tered into in the proper spirit and the

enthusiasm.
Nothing equals the tree in making
the earth pleasant abode for man,
to say nothing of the intrinsic value
of them. The Arbor Day spirit is
one of generosity and the day is one
festival which instead of looking
backward to glorify achievements of
the past or praising present enter
prises it looks forward seeking to
make better environments, more
pleasant abode for the habitation of
the coming generations.
It does not seem so strange that
an institution with such spirit and
with so much to commend it to the
attention Of the intelligent persons,
especially the arduous nature of the
young, should have such a speedy and
general acceptance. It has on it's own
merits and without any lobbying,
been adopted by nearly every State
in the Union, and not being limited by
any National Government lines, it has

Arbor DaY.

every farmer should be interested;

a conversation, learning many useful
facts. To my question of whether he
observed Arbor Day, he replied, Eyes,
I observe Arbor Day, but every day is
arbor day when it comes to planting
trees, which l considered good logic,
as person could plant very few
trees, compared with what is needed,
working only one day in the year.
Arbor Day at school, when proper
iy carried out, is one Of the most en-
pertaining and fnstructing days of a
school. There can be prepared very
pretty program suited to the occasion,

i, the floor at night when he went to
bed.
The toys didn't like that very
much. Sometimes Jackie's father
would step upon them, when he came
in at night from his work. Father
didn't mean to break the toys, but ne
didn't know that they were there.
One day Jackie's mother said,
"Come, Jackie, put away your toys
like good boy, and come to supper.
But Jackie didn't do it. He left his
playthings just where he had dropped
them when he had finished playing.
There was the rocking-horse, the au-
tomobile, the engine, and the ball, the
blocks, the Teddy-bear, the horn, the
drum, and the soldiers all over the
floor
Well. that night something hap
pened! When Jackie's father came
in at supper-time, he stumbled and
almost fell over the rocking-horse.
Then he stepped upon little tin sol
der, and crushed it all to pieces.
When Jackie went to bed that
night, the toys began to talk among
themselves.
Said the rocking-horse, "Rock,
rock, rock, don't like to lie here in
the dark" Said the automobile,
"Honk, honk, honk, don't like to
lie here in the dark Said the en-
CINE, "Choo, choo, choo, I don't like
to lie here in the dark" Said the lit
tie red ball, Roll, roll, roll, I don't
like to lie here in the dark" Said
the building blocks, Build, build,
build, don't like to lie here in the
dark Said the Teddy-bear, Squeak.
squeak, squeak, don't like to lie
here in the dark" Said the little tin
horn, "Toot, toot, toot, don't like to
lie here in the dark" Said the drum,
Boom, boom, boom, don't like to
lie here in the dark" Said the sol
dier-boy, Bang, bang, bang, I don't
like to lie here in the dark" Said
the elephant, "Humph! let's all march
away and hide" So they all marched
away two by two, and didn't come
back for a long, long time, all except
the ball. He could only roll, so he
rolled under the bed.
When morning came Jackie
couldn't find thing to play with ex-
cept the ball, which he found under
his fathers bed.
All that day and the next Jackie
looked and looked everywhere for his
toys; but he couldn't find one of
them. Then he cried He didn't
know what to do without his rocking
horse, his automobile, his engine,
ball, blocks, Teddy-bear, horn, drum
and soldiers.
Finally, one very rainy day, they
all marched back, all but the little
tin soldier. He never came back.
When Jackie went upstairs after
breakfast to his fathers room, he was
delighted. He jumped UP and down,
clapping his hands. He was SO glad
to see his old friends he cried: I'm
so glad! I'm so glad!"
And the toys all seemed to say:
Rock, rock--honk, honk-choo,
choo-roll, roll--build, build
squeak, squeak-toot, toot-boom,
boom-bang, bang" So Jackie did.
When Jackie's father went away to
work that morning. he said: per
haps Jackie'll put them all away to-
night. They may march away again. :"

THE HEART OF THE TREE.
Am Arbor DAY Poem.

What does he plant who plants tree!
He plants the friend Of sun and sky;
He plants the flag Of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty, towering high;
He plants home to heaven anigh
For song and mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard
The treble Of heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants a
tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain,
And seed and bud of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again;
He plants the glory of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of coming age,
The JOY that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants a
tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants, in sap, and leaf, and wood,
In love Of home and loyalty
An far-cast thought of civic good
His blessings on the neighborhood
Who in the hollow of His hand
Holds all the growth Of all our land
A nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs in his heart who plants tree.

THE FRIENDLY SUNBEAM,


There's a certain little sunbeam who is
very fond of me,
And every single morning, bright and early
as can be
because he knows my nursery is on the
shady side),
He leaves his brothers frolicking Ger
dewy meadows wide,
And he climbs into window at the east
end of our hall,
And he creeps across the carpet and he
feels along the wall,
And he slips between some curtains and
through an open door,
And he makes golden Decline across my
bedroom floor,
Until without tiny sound to tell he's near
the place,
He has jumped upon my pillow and is shin
ing in my facet
Then up start and out Of bed! For who
would wish to stay,
When such friend has come so far to call
one out to play?

A MOTHER CAT,s ANGER.


You may like to read about my
little cat, which had five kittens. We
could not keep so many kittens, and
we did not like to drown them, so
my brother tried to get homes for
them.
From the time that he gave the
first kitten away the mother showed
great dislike for him. Every time
he went into the kitchen she would
grow big and furry and make queer
noise.
When he took the third away she
few at him, stuck her long nails in
his flesh and tried to get at his face.
At last we had to give her away,
with her two little kittens. We were
very sorry for her. Mother told us
that he actions only showed that her
instinct to keep and protect her young
is the same as in any mother.
Since that happened we have had
no more cats for pets, but we have
two very pretty canary birds.-Eileen
Campbell, in the New York Tribune.
THE FATE OF CURIOUS COUGARS.
Several weeks ago cougar, meas
uring over eight feet In length, fol-
lowed Miss Mary Burr, the teacher
of the school at Messiers, in the edge
of the Rainier forestry reserve, from
near the schoolhouse until she met
with forestry ranger who, with 9TH
ers, subsequently ran down and killed
the animal. Saturday Miss Burr
went to visit neighbor and suddenly
became aware that another cougar
was following her. She first saw
the animal ahead of her, but later she
saw it in the path behind. She hur-
ried ahead to her destination, and
hunting party composed Of J. v. Cook
and A. Fenton, with several dogs,
started in pursuit. The dogs found
the trail Of the cougar, and after fol-
lowing snort distance freed it. Cook
shot and wounded the animal, which
dropped to the ground and was
pounced upon by the dogs. 1t in
stantly killed one of the dogs with it's
terrible claws and teeth, though Cook
anu SAIVu were JUL Trying W snoOI
it, but in the scuffie between it and
the dogs found but little opportunity
to do so without shooting the dogs.
Before finally MORALLY wounding the
animal, it had nearly killed another
of the dogs. The cat measured nearly
eight feet, being not quite so large as
the cat killed several weeks ago.
Neither of the cougars attempted any
depredations, their chief object be-
ing apparently to satisfy their curios-
ity to follow and observe people
