LACK OF INTEREST.

Napoleon the Great evidently be-
lieved that ''the pen is mightier than
the sword, for he said: -Four hostile
newspapers are more to be feared
than thousand bayonets." Then
more's the pity that we haven't a
dozen other newspapers in Bryan to
assist Mr.. Carnes in his war against
the dirty codnition of our business
streets. But it is doubtful if dozen
newspapers could accomplish more in
this line than has Mr.. Carnes, for he
has fought valiantly, persistently and
fearlessly to arouse some civic pride
in our merchants. Has he succeeded?
Just stroll downtown and view the
situation over and realize that neither
the press, nor the Civic League, nor
the personal appeal of the women,
have aroused our merchants to clean
up. The residence portion of Bryan
is clean.
THE recent session of the legislature
was more prolific of popular disap-
pointment than anything else. For us
one of the sorest disappointments was
its failure to enact Senator McNealus'
bill to forbid the poisoning of streams
by throwing any kind Of putrid matter
into them, making the rivers and
streams menace to the whole state
since it makes them an avenue up and
down which death may travel with the
most expedition. Particularly ought
the women's clubs include this matter
in the list of things that will engage
their efforts II looks as If IL were i'm.
possible to get anything done to bet
ter the conditions of living unless they
busy themselves"
This, coming from leading journal
of the state, is a great compliment to

PLANTING A TREE.
(Authnr Unknown

(Author Unknown.)
What does he plant who plants tree
He plants a 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 Groom of birds,
In hushed and happy twilight heard
In 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;
tie plants the forests heritage:
The harvest of the coming age;
The joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants
tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants, in sap and leaves and
wood,
In love of home and loyalty.
And far-cast thought of civil 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.

A drive out Ursuline avenue and

just now, for you can see my Lady
Spring" abroad in all her loneliness
and grandeur. All along on the beau

it is well worth while to devote at
least one hour out of the twenty-four
to the garden and yard.
Mrs. c. 49,. Stacy, in her suggestions
for civic work in Houston, says: "The
best place to begin civic work, as has
been demonstrated, is with the schools,
the school grounds furnishing ample
opportunities for work by the children
and the civic departments of various
clubs. This work, through the chill
dren, will be carried to the homes, and
without other stimulus a marked inn
provement will soon be evidenced by
the more neatly arranged lawns,
fences, plants and walks" Just see
how far-reaching the results.
The grounds of our city schools
could be made very attractive if each
teacher would have flower bed cult
waited by the pupils of his or her
grade. One grade might have a pansy
bed, another a bed of violets, another
bed of cannas, etc. This has been
tried with success in other schools.
The children like the work and it is
good for them. Do we realize how
much the planting and pruning of a
tree, rosebush or climbing vine tend TO
elevate the heart? Would it be posi- |
bic to watch the leaves healthful 4
opening on the tree we have pruned |
with care, the first rosy tint of the |
