pertinent Farm.
Finds Fifty Varieties That
Flourish Here.

If Topeka is as beautiful as it's citi-
zens SO proudly proclaim, the credit
Is largely due to the "Old-timers" who
linked their fortunes with the state
rolling prairie innocent of much YER
dure beyond the banks of the Kaw
and Shunganunga. Struggling cotton
woods and hedge fences of earlier
days proved that trees would grow
and here and there a clump of elms
or locusts interrupted the bare COM
mons that once surrounded the town.
The tree planting idea sprang into
popular approval in the late seventies
and many of the finest rows of TOpe-
ka's shade trees date from that decade.
Here and there particularly in the
state house grounds the axe of a later
generation has destroyed the work of
the earlier, yet Topeka has shade for
everyone and more shade still in pros
pect in the newer additions where the
planting of trees is usually the first
step taken in making preparation for
new building.
Some weeks ago the State Journal
offered the suggestion that the recol-
lections" of the early Arbor day plant
ers might well be preserved while they
were still left to write them. 1t was
a pregnant idea which has borne fruit
in several contributions, three of which
are here reproduced. Others will be
published from time to time. The
state journal Will De SIdO TO near from
any person who remembers the occa-
sion when some special tree planting
was done. Little by little at least a
partial record can be compiled in this
way. preserving matter that will al
ways be Of interest to Topekans. The
time may yet come when the grateful
city will see fit to memorabilia the
early day enthusiasts to whom it al
ready owes SO much of comfort and
satisfaction.
Here are three new letters to the
editor of the State Journal:
Planted in 1876.
Sir: I notice In your paper request
for information concerning early tree
planting in this city.
1t is interesting to note that among the
earlier trees planted in this city. are the

PARIS, Jan. 15.-Paris is to become the

Champs Elysees. the only lights there

looked like u series OF pale, melancholy
moons lined up to weep the long night
through. Once In a while one, more gay
than his fellows. would attempt to glim-
mer at his neighbOr but lie soon gave up
the game. and when morning came the
glim,ner died the natural death OF lamps

But the pale light OF the Gay City

genius, and now huge arc lights. her

light into the furthermost corners OF the
streets. Just few Of them have been
tried, but 1t Is proposed to put them up

ing put up in some sections and they
give as good a light as the arc lamps. so
that lovers out or an evening can stroll
IN the soft yellow light or tho lumiere de
