THE OLD WALNUT TREE.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: We
used to have an old walnut tree on our
farm that was more than two hundred
years old. The diameter of the trunk was
four and a half feet and the branches tow
cred far into the sky. 1t was a warm,
sultry DAY in midsummer, and we had a
severe thunder shower; there was terrific
crash, and it seemed so near we all ran to
the door. The old tree had been struck
There was long, white streak where the
lightning had torn the bark off, ana great
pieces of bark-large enough to have killed
a man if they had struck him-lay on the
ground. The trees began to decay, and as
we were afraid some of the huge branches
might break off and hurt some one, we cut
it down. The inside Of the trunk was all
decayed, so We cleaned it out and put in
some rich soil and planted red rambler
rose beside It In the summer the stump IS
one mass of red roses. Hoping this Will
interest you, I remain,

RAGMEN AT SCHOOL
Hoo a Boston Girl Is Turning
Noise Into Music.

Miss Caroline E. Wenzell, OF Boston, has
Mrs. Isaac l. Rice, of New York, beaten
at her own game. The organizer of the
Noise Society has no remedy to offer
clumsy one of abolition. Miss Wenzelis
idea is the most philosophical one OF
changing evil into good. She would, In
short, change noise into music. Instead OF
bounding the poor ragman and hawker
from the street, she would teach them to
use their voices properly, SO that their
cries may issue from their threats in flute
like and clarion tones of harmony. Then
she maintains would the morning be filed
with music. and the weary citizen. trying
to get another wink, would not slam his
window shut on a hot August morning, but
would rather throw il open the wider and
be lulled into sweeter dreams through the
harmony contained IN the hail of "Old
rags and bottlesr' Apples, 10 cents a
peck!' Soap grease" etc.
Miss Wenzell not only breaches but prac-
tees these principles. In fact, she b gan
with practice. and only explained the prin-
cples on which she was acting after her
school for ragmen started a few months
ago In Boston, had sprung into sudden
fame.
Miss wenzen who is Vassar graduate
and barely out Of her teens. became inter
ested In the hawkers who make the early
morning hideous with their yells while
doing settlement work In the Hub, and as
she listened to their discordant cries II
struck her that the street life of the aver
age American city often presents only Its
NEST sordid side, while the street life of
European metropolises Is full Of grace and
charm.
Why could not some OF this grace and
charm be introduced into American streets7
Miss Wenzell could see no reason why tn y
shouldn't be, and SO, without consulting
any OF her friends who. she knew, would
cry down the project as ridiculous, Miss
Wenzeu selected one morning. an alleyway
through which a line of pedlers make their
way daily. and waited. AS fast as the ped
Iers appeared she stopped them. Each ped
Ter was asked his nationality, how long he
had been In the country, whether he was
married or not and how much English he
knew. Gradually getting their confidence.
Miss Wepzell next asked them how many
customers they had in a day and whether
tho majority of them were Americans or
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1910-08-07

foreign born citizens. More OF their ''own
people" bought from them, they said,
whereupon Miss Wenzell used the answer
as an argument to convince them that II
they spoke better English and cried their
wares more plainly and musicallv their
customers would be doubled and trebled.
Thus she got their attention. and then and
there she gave her "class'-four pedlers-
their first lesson In street or commercial
English.
Elated BY her first success, the next
morning Miss Wenzell again went to her
alley station, and that day her class was
increased to six Two of these were straw
berry nedlers, one was an OF clo' expert
and the remaining three were junk dealers.
Miss Wenzeu found her audience Interested
and respectful, with genuine desire to
,earn and under her instruction they all
progressed rapidly. Within another two
davs one of the junkmen had appeared
with a large wooden box, which was placed
at one end of the alley as seat for the
teacher and the fragments school, was
permanently established.
Miss Wen2en IS as proud OF this school
as any college professor of his work. and.
aside from the benefit to individual rag
men, she maintains that her object is the
solution of a hitherto neglected phase Of
the city problem.
when I was abroad. she said. the
gayety of the streets made a great i'm
preston on me. and l never tired of listen
ing to the musical cries Of the street vend-
ers OF course, in every city abroad much
of the trading Is done in the streets This
has been carried on since time immemorisi.
and the street vendors have traditions that
make their work almost az highly special
ICED in It's way the learned professions.
Then, too, the artistic nature OF the people
comes out at every turn. When got back

transplanted foreigners abused their OPP
portunites OF making the streets pleasing

you never saw such a very strange thing!
But, like all tricks. the mystery has a
simple explanation. This one is so simple
that you may wonder after you know how
the trick is done that you never guessed

If you would like to make a trick box
I like this, find a small wooden safety match
box or some cardboard box of the same
size and shape as one of these. You will
also need a piece of string about a yard
and a half long. 1t must not be too
heavy. and besides this you will need
small wooden stick like toothpick
In making your trick box L would advise
you to find all these materials before you
start and If you can do so find enough
of them to make two boxes which will ap-
pear to be quite similar. In reality, one
will be a trick box, while the other Is
not. You can use the second box to show
to those who wish to examine your box.
In the mean time keep the real trick box in
your pocket.
Of course, after the spectator has tried

which Is simply too easy to believe! In
the trick box a small stick is inserted
Just above the string SO that when the
string is held tight the box stays fast in
one place upon it. When the tension Is
loosened on the string the box glides down

the more rapid is the pace at which the
box glides down toward your foot. That is
all the secret there is about it!

emotion, and thoughtful. With half
closed eyes, seated in sumptuous little
tapestried armchairs in the exquisite
sitting room Of Marie Antoinette, where
the dim mirrors seemed to nave retained

easy to evoke the past. There, in an
