THE TUNEFUL DAYS GONE.

Gone is the honeyed phrase, missing

absent is the note OF springtime joy,
silent is the voice of the delightful
charmer---Gov. Fletcher's Arbor day
proclamation is out. Instead of leading
one along green vistas and through tree
lined avenues to the land of everlasting
sunshine as his predecessor was won't to
do, Gov. Fletcher gets right down to
hardpan business at the start and in a
few simple sentences informs us that
Friday, April 25, will be Arbor day in
Vermont. And Arbor day it will be.
Nevertheless, the brevity and matter
of-factness of our executives proclama-
ton need not remove anything of the
significance of the day. To the contrary,
its very directness may cause the day to
be more generally observed as we shall
not be lost in the mazes of the English
language, nor charmed into inactivity by
poetry on babbling brooks, breathing
blades, springing sprouts and wanton
weeds. The governor says: Go and
plant trees. Therefore, go you on April

A Nurse Tells How Wife Deceived Her
Husband.

In the April Woman's Home Com.
panion appears highly entertaining
story written by a nurse who relates
some OF her experiences, living with the
wife of a newly rich man. Following is
an extract in which the nurse tells some
thing about her mistress:
"She played a game with herself-and
the rest of the world-all the time.
Best of all, she liked to fool her hus-
band. Every morning she reused herself
up when he did, flung on a lovely neg
ligee, flutfed up her hair and sat in the
baby's nursery, as if she could not leave
the baby to have breakfast with him.
She was a pretty blonde and made a
lovely picture with the baby in her arms.
Mr.. Joyce would tear himself away,
rush down to the nice breakfast Katie
had waiting for him, and off to work,
thinking that he had the most capable
wife in the world. And before he was
around the corner, she was back in her

The New Gospel of Fear.

The children of the Puritans grew III
oppressed by fear of an impending flu
ture punishment which should Attic
their souls. The children of the present
day are Swallowed by the fear of the i'm
pending ills which may afflict their bod
les and are oppressed by the anxiety
which on all sides surrounds their physi
cal existence.
Instead of frighting them with visions
of personal devil we brighten them
with tales of deadly germs ready to
pounce upon them and myriads of mi
erobes lying in wait for them. In our
desire to give them healthy little bodies
we are forgetting that we must also
aid them to develop courageous little
souls.
It has been truly said mo man is
brave who believes physical suffering to
be the greatest evil" This belief mod
ern educational methods seem likely to
inculcate. Proper instruction in hygiene
is most desirable, but we need to re-
member that the schoolroom and nursery
should furnish light and air for the ex-
banding soul as well as the expanding
body.
BY focusing attention too persistent
ly upon the dreadful ills that flesh is
heir to- we may convert the classroom
into chamber of horrors and set the
children shuddering. But we. shall new
er by this means supply them with the
strong moral equipment with which to
fight their future battles or the bright
inspiration TO awaken in them the love
OF purity. integrity and honor.
A healthy body is very incomplete
unless it Is inhabited by glad. healthy
spirit. and in the house of much plain
speaking we need also habitual "high

children to forget that life's equipment

of Windsor texeuse us, Cornishl as the
summer capital of the nation is a
proposition to erect a $l50,000 hotel on

river and facing the summer White
House." Aside from the fact that Presi-

region more attractive to summer Wis
itors, the proposed site has about every
thing to commend itself as a summer

Edward Beale Mclean.
The dog in this case Is one that

dearest dog on earth is Bar Harbor.
In the Mclean kennels there are
dogs with pedigrees so long that they
seem to be entitled to seats in the
House of Lords. Bar Harbor, accord
ing to the stories told, just hap
pened along" a few months ago,
wagged his tail in an affectionate sort
Of manner and attached himself to
the Mclean child. There was estab-
lished at once a bond of friendship.
The result is that when the Nc
Leans go to Newport Bar Harbor will

the saying goes with both feet, but
with all four, keeping close to his lit

His master incidentally will be the

one formerly occupied by the Reg

being fitted up with a playground
that will make life pleasant for the
boy and also for Bar HarbOr.
