To meet the e8tgencies OF seasons such as

curious ,Erowth said 70 afford protection

large leaves which have the property Of
cohdensing the moisture Of the atmosphere
and preeiIdtating Il in the form OF ram.
When the rivers are at their lowest during
the dry season. and the heat Is intense. the
condenslng oapaeity OF the tree appears to
attain its maximum, the water falling from
the leaves and 0oEing from the trunk in a
steady. continuous stream, flowing over
the surrounding soil and nourishlng the

IN Is stated that a single tree Will yield an
gavorage OF nine gallons OF water per day,
and il has been estimated that If plot Of

lOO0o trees daily yield Of about 5000 gal

making an allowances for evaporation. One

Mount Washington. Mass, small VIII
lage. used TO boast, until recently 1t had
not witnessed a marriage during the life
Of the present generation. So according
to the Boston Post, when Miss Laura II,
schutt and the Rev. Milton Whittier were
welded the other day every inhabtant
Of the town turned out to attend the we'd
ding. The romance of the young clergy
man and the farmers daughter sunk deep
into the hearts Of all the folk in the neigh
boring towns
1t was only little over a year ago that
Mr. whittier was graduated from the Yale
Theological school, came to the tiny village
Of Mount Washington to begin his career in
the humble little Congregational church.
The church, although II is a good many
miles from most OF the farms Of Mount
Washington, is regularly attended by prao-
tically everyone in the township. The
roads are up hill and down and so steep
that il takes a good horse 10 carry the
church goeFs~to their destination.
Miss Schutt was not daunted by all these
obstacles. IL was always her habit to at
tend church regularly, but when the Rev.
Mr. Whittier came 10 the town and took
the position Of pastor OF the church for q
season Miss schutt attended the church,
so tbs ssid, with an added zest.
Soon the young minister began to notice
the deliberatlon and attention with which
his words were weighed. He began to
notice her from the pulpit Frequently

their eyes met. At first the girls eyes
dropped at his earnest gaze.
Mr.. Whittier went TO the Schutt house
and Travelled many tollsome mile in order
that he might see the young woman who
had so attracted him in the church. Be
fore the summer was over 1t was rumored
that they were engaged, and 1t was very
little time after the rumor started that
the entire population OF Mount Washington
we're apprissd Of 1t.
During the long winter season which
follow d Mr.. Whittier made at least one
trip west 10 the Berkshire town and ar
rRngements were made for the wedding.
Great arrangements they were. too Every
person in town was invited. 1t was also
necessary 20 ask a good many outsiders,
for the church would seem almost empty
with only the thirteen voters OF the town
together with their families in the high
backed pews.
So guests were hailed from Great Bar
rington and Springfield and many other
places and every preparation was made
10 make the first wedding in fifty years a
striking occasion.
Everyone In the township accepted the
invitation and offered any assistance they
might be able to give in preparing the
church.
The schutt home was used as headQuaT-
tiers for these preparations. as there was
no other suitable place available.
1t was q pretty sight when all the viii
layers entered the church on the wedding
morn and the unusual ceremony was per-
formed.

Ye editor has Just received
from an upiifter a communi-
cation that strikes a sympa-
thetic chord.
II is a complaint against the
sort of places TO which We
must go TO vote. The writer
points out that the polling
places in our cities are usually
located in cigar stores or pool
rooms, or other where, and
his sense OF the aesthetic is
thereby assailed-nay, il is
outraged.
He clamors for a polling
place TO De provided by the
public at which the surround
ings will be in keeping with
the sacredness Of the citizens
duty. The democracy Of the
present system doesn't appeal
TO him; it's 50 inartistic.
We're wild him on this. A
has the dump where We now

stead the Temple Of Citizen
ship conveniently located in
each precinct, severely plain
in its architecture, but on
classic lines, for beauty may
be blended with utility here,
and the proper combination Is
certain TO potently appeal 20
the voter, and awaken in him
the lofuieSt sense OF civic pride
AID patriotic responsibility,
Also conspueE the vulgar bal
lots We are now furnished
with. Let them be decorated
as is hitting their important
uses, so that after they have
been cast and counted the
voters can take them home as
souvenirs. And, furthermore,
raus NIT the sans eulottes
who collect and count the ball
lots. Let them at least be
CARRIED in becoming attire. A
distinctive costume might be
designed for them. Finally,
let the interior be kept cheer
fly lighted and have appro-
pirate music and a fountain
OF perfumed water 90 give Il
the proper atmosphere, while
incense burns in front Of the
ballot box.
This wouldn't cost much in
excess OF $1,000 per precinct.
and II would make voting
ever so much more popular.
Maybe some OF the highbrows
who now abstain would deign
to cast a ballot now and
again.
