Growing interest in tree planting, as
shown by the general observance Of
Arbor day throughout America, gives
promise of systematic planting of trees
along cities streets. 1t was not so
many years ago that many American
cities were noted for their attractive
shade trees. but In most instances
these trees have been killed by the
lack of care OF by street paving.
Many Of Il cities now have Il park

Good trees for street planting are the
Oriental pine. pin oak. gingko and Nor
way maple. The plane will thrive
where few other trees grow. and it
may be pruned into wide or narrow
streets. The other trees require more
moisture and larger open spaces about
them. but have darker green foliage
and cause less litter on the pavement.

How often the little things in life
make impressions that finger in our

are forgotten! Several years ago I was
making a visit in a family where there
were several daughters. One Of the
girls brought a hat into the sewing
room one morning and prepared to
trim 1t. Before doing anything else
she took a hatpin and pinned the hat

II Found Relief In Practical Jokes
Upon the Clergy.
Some thirty odd years ago a young
man came to New York from England
Il have forgotten his name,. and for a
year or so he posed as a very ardent
churchman. He bad a mania which
seemed to be the making Of trouble
for other people. with no particular
object except that and certainly with
no advantage to himself. as he very
naturally remained 'lncog."
As illustrative. he would send out q
hundred or more postal cards address
ed to as many different plumbers in
New York. asking them to call on q
certain day. at a given hour. at the
residence Of the Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix.
rector Of Trinity church. Another
time It would be an army Of bakers.
and SO on. On n OCCASION he sent in
vitations to a dozen of the clergy to
dine with DR.. Dix on a given date.
Imagine the good doctors consterna-
ton when his unexpected guests ar.
rived!
One Of his bits Of funny work, in
which he used the name of the late
Bishop Jaggar. was as follows: DR..
Cornelius B. swope was the vicar Of
Trinity chapel. in Twenty fifth street.
at the time, and DR.. Horatio Potter the
bishop of New York. DR.. Dix had be-
come so e%xasperated us hardly to
know what to do. and n day he went
to consult DR.. Swope and to ask his
advice as to what could be done. TAX
ing with him one Of the cards that he
had received. On looking at 1t DR..
Swope said:
cause l received a card some time ago
in the same hand. which I have kept
as a curiosity"
, This was the card:
Cincinnati, Ohio.
Dear Cornel-lt is rumored out here that
o would like to be a bishop. II this is
true please let me know at once. I have
great influence with Morg. Dix and will
see old Potter about 1t. so

And with the bishops stand.
