fore it is their duty to take care of it. can say the same thing to the older people. All that is necessary for the city beautiful is the feeling of personal responsibility. Let everyone contrib ute some thing. In the effort for beau ty the boys and girls will render great assistance. Our efforts should be aim ed toward lasting results, and where it is impossible to influence older people to new ideas, we may hope to change old time methods in changing the ideas of the young people.
 T will devote my remarks principal ly towards the planting and care of trees. There is no more useful and lasting method of beautifying the city than by the proper planting of trees. When we plant a tree the chances are that it will be a thing of beauty for a century,
 Professor Jarvis showed scenes from ideal streets of other cities, and spoke of the advisability of a city nursery. He spoke extensively on how and where to plant trees; their proper care; the accidents to which trees are subject. and the treatment of injuries. Lack of pruning or. bad pruning he mentioned as one of the most common sources of injury and death of our trees.

FOX CAPTURED IN
 UNION STREET CHICKEN COOP
Unusual Find by Thomas sterry-Rey-
 nard Put up a Lively Fight.

Hearing a commotion in the yard in the rear of his home on Union street Tuesday afternoon, Thomas Sterry on investigation discovered a nearly full grown red fox in his chicken coop. After a tussle he succeeded in captur- ing the animal and is exhibiting the pretty little beast to his friends. How an animal so sly and so seldom seen came to be in the central part of the city is something of a mystery. The fCx is bright and lively and appar- ently perfectly normal in every way. Had one of the fox hounds kept in that vicinity but chanced on the trail of Reynard, the residents of the city might have enjoyed the novelty of fcx hunt through Franklin square. The animal was evidently sly enough to avoid the Broadway or Fountain street kennels
