A LITTLE STUDY IN TREES.

"How strikingly the course of Ma ture tells, by it's light heed of hu- man suffering, that it was fashioned for happier world.'
 While the poet applied this thought to Nature, yet how true of Natures children, her glorious trees. Proudly erect, gracefully waving their verdant branches aloft, little they reck of hu- man suffering, and yet to us, the children of men, how necessary factor they are for our health, our comfort, and our pleasure. Though Fashioned for happier world, our Creator, in the munificence of ms gifts, has placed them here, ana thereby has rendered us happier, and the world more livable.

Waco, Texas, April 6, 1912. My Dear Mrs. Fox:
 We have been great agitators, and it was a long, hard fight we had be- fore rescuing our city commons from people who had usurped them without law or license.
 A certain amount of ground on eith- CT side of the river belongs to the city-upon this laundry, bottllnG works, gas works. city pound and many unsightly things had been built and while they were coining money the city was getting no revenue, after many petitions, newspaper articles. etc. the city fathers not only con- sented, but compelled the removal of all these.
 Between our two bridges we now have a beautiful little park, of many trees. much grass and lovely walks never a time of day now, but people can be seen resting there, and en- loving the cool river breeze. There are many poor women who live over the stores, and their children flnd this a perfect joy We hope in few years to have one grand river drive of many miles, since our noble Mrs Cameron has given us the most beau tiful natural park on earth, tour olo Proctor Springs) and that much of the river driveway has already been completed.
 My individual efforts have been largely directed to organizing Moth CTS Clubs in our schools, the cen tral thought being to bring parent and teacher into closer personal re- lation. through these clubs, we also encourage the love of the beautlfu' in the children. The barren, unkept school yard, is now beautiful p'e ture flowers, walks, pergolas, swings and many things conducive to H.7 health and happiness of the child. Many pictures adorn the walls anu o,, sunerintendent tells us his discl- pline, has been better and condltiohs ar, improved every way since our Mothers Clubs were organized.
 Our city federation has been lnstru- mental in putting window boxes l'' the Y. M. c. A., the street car staeio and many public places. Don't gel discouraged; keep your desires oefore the public, and finally your dreams will become realities.
 When the women began the aglta- ton here, we had not foot or gfouho that could be called park, now we have a reautiful small park Tn eacl ward, one on the river front ana very large magnificent park WHICH all can enioy-that being the sil' of the lCamerons.
 do hope your paper will De oreat success, and result in much CIV ic good, would like to have copy. With the very best wishes for the success of your enterprise, and many regrets that I could not have peer of more assistance to you, am, yer! sincerely,

John Chicken, one of the substantial
farmers of Nihill, was in the city
Monday acting rs witness in final
proof case. Mr.. Gieken is not in ia
vor of county division ut this time.
lie thinks the time is not ripe to I'M
deltake such step, rs the country is
altogether too new, and nobody seems
to know positively what its possibili-
ties are. He also believes that our
first endeavOrs should be made to-
wards getting new school houses es-
tablished in the country districts,
and that will be burden enough for
the taxpayers to carry for several
years. A few years later, when all
the land in this end of the county is
settled up and made productive, he
would be in favor OF dividing the
county and making lIariowton the
county seat, but he will have nothing
to do with it at the present time, and
is OF the opinion that all his neigh
bors will go strongly against the pro-
position.

is justly proud of and to which she
largely owes her good name. the in
