For more than half an hour rain
came pouring down upon the sun
cracked and wind-swept encamp-
ment grounds. 1t swept with vi0-

that Pickett covered in'63. Its sal
vos of thunder were like the BOOM

thermometer dropped with wonder
full agility. Lightning cleared the
air of its burden of humidity.
The veterans scurried for their
tents to lash them down. They
showed they had not forgotten the
old days, for not tent was blown
over, and not veteran was injured.

Pruning Young Street Trees.

Young street trees are very general
ly insuficiently pruned and very few
are pruned at time of planting, though
many merit such treatment At one
year of age nearly all young trees are
too top-heavy and should be heavily
pruned. In deciduous trees sapling
ready for planting should look like a
hoe handle-just mere club and at
one year be cut back to branches. but
little if any more than foot long. II
every tree had five cents worth OF
pruning during each of the first two
years after planting, 1t would prove
far better than so cents worth the
fifth year. las the twig is bent so
the tree is inclined"is as applicable to
street trees as to any other. Allow
but short annual gains in length OF
branches when young and they will
sustain any weight of top when aged.

an engineer would be preferred; that
he must state what has been his pre-
vious experience in municipal work

PROFIT in PUBLIC PARKS
superintendent Parker Proposes to
Make Entire System OF Hartford,
Conn.,, Self Supporting.

George A. Parker. superintendent OF
parks of Hartford, Conn, proposes to
make an entire city park system self
supporting without in any way cur
failing the freedom of its use by all
citizens, but on the other hand in
creasing its usefulness. His expert
ence started when he conducted a re-
fectory In one of the parks, believing
that by increasing the quality and
quantity of the supplies. adding to the
wages of waitress and employing
manager there would be no profit. He
was surprised to find profit of more
than $1,000 the first year. Lighting
and heating an old sheep fold near q
skating pond and supplying hot drinks
and sandwiches at from one to seven
cents, he produced returns paying for
all the service rendered and in part
for keeping the ice free from snow.
A suggestion on visit to Kansas
City park led Mr.. Parker to plan
building nearly 400 feet in length for
dances, moving pictures, bowling al
ley, refectory and auditorium, at a
cost of $4,000 He assumed that the
average time spent in recreation by a
citizen is five hours, and determined
that Hartford's 100000 population
spends $4,000 to $4,000 a day for its
recreation, including theaters. games.
saloons, lectures and churches; that
the cost per recreation hour was two
cents in Hartford, though in some
cities it was as low as one cent.
If Hartford people should spend only
one-fifth of their recreation time in
municipal recreation centers, or 1907
600 hours at two cents an hour, the
income could be $4,000 day. Refec-
tory supplies cost So per cent. of the
income, the service rs per cent, and
the profit is 20 per cent. or $400 a
day, which is more than the estimated
cost of maintenance of the entire park
| system. outside of these money max
| ing features.

Pray tell us, If the women should forget,
Some day, while doing work that men
should do,
That the good Lord in His wisdom kindly
let
Them come to lend enchantment to
mans view
II they ceased to act as women and
should rise,
Deep voiced, from women's weak, de-
pendent ways
Would any man be brave or good or wise
To hear the brawny creatures speak his
praise?
Oh fie upon the woman who would teach
Her sisters to forget that they are
sweet!
Let their cheeks remain as downy as the
peach,
Let US still spread out our cloaks be-
meath their feet;
Let them still be foolish and inclined to
cling,
Let their bosoms stiI give birth to gem
tie signs
God made woman poor, weak. angelic
thing,
For he knew man wouldn't love her
otherwise.

Unbiased Opinions.

The only things we get for nothing
in this world are blotters and advice.
1t is not half as much Of trial for
a lovely woman, thrown upon her own
resources. to put on tights as for a
self-made man to wear silk hat the
first time.
People often become so cultured
that they can enjoy only classical
music, but they seldom acquire enough
refinement to be able to keep from
boasting about it.
Nearly every man is genius, but
only few are willing to take the risk
Of being regarded as fools.
Most great men have hobbies, which,
however, are not the things that make
them great.
