The activity of the woman suffragists
in Vermont has resulted in stirring up
the anti-woman suffragists TO the extent
that the latter are circulating petitions
about the state to secure the refusal OF
the ballot to women. We await the size
of their argument, cognizant meanwhile
that lengthy petitions do not generally
amount to much, whether for or against
a policy.

this dubious profession. They were

POINT ABOUT HOUSE NUMBER
Should Always Be So Arranged as
Easily to Be Read From Street
or Sidewalk.

A small detail of the new home
is the house number, yet it is not
an insignificant one. 1t is an extreme
ly useful detail and should occupy a
position in keeping with its useful
ness.
Even the commonplace house num-
Der furnishes opportunities for novel;
ty and originality in its display. Con-
-spicuousness is its prime requisite;
therefore any unusual feature in the
architecture of the, entrance-pillars
or porches-may make a very salts
factory background for these numbers,
and afford due prominence to them.
In case the house sets far back
from the street, with an approach of
cement steps, a good idea is to place
the number in dark colors upon the
riser of one of the steps near the
street.
Should the approach be a brick or
cement walk the numbers may be ap-
piled equally well to that. Sometimes
a cement block at the curb may con-
tain the number.
Should n desire an illuminated
number-a great convenience for the
stranger, the glass globe of the en-
trance porch lamp may be used as a
medium.

Breadth.

Breadth must have some limits.
otherwise it cannot be breadth. The
limits of breadth are as real and as
well defined as the limits of narrow
ness. But many a nan fatters him
self that he is a broad man, or a man
of broad views, or a man of breadth,
just because he is not within the lin
it's of a narrow man, yet while he can
not define the limits which contain
him. No man can be a broad man,
or a narrow man or indeed any sort
of a man, without some well-defined
boundaries. Even a hole in the
ground must have it's sides or edges.
1t is not worthy the name of a hole
without these.-Toronto Presbyterian.

VALUE OF TREES IN STREETS
Matter Is Becoming Universally Rec
ognized as Highly Important Part
of City Planning.

We occasionally find in the public
print a news item that gives especial
qualification because it marks some
progressive step in one or another di-
rection. Such a note is that from
Bridgewater, Mass, wherein the tree
warden of that town, in support Of
claims for the loss of trees by escap-
ing illuminating gas, makes the asser-
ton that the destruction of good
healthy shade trees on property de-
creases its valuation at least 20 per
cent. That is good doctrine and we
hope it will be affirmed in the court
should court action be found neces-
sary to collect compensation in this
instance. Gas and electric companies
will not be so careless regarding in
Jury to trees, public o r private, when
the public come to a full realization
of their rights and a proper estimate
of the intrinsic value of growing trees
as property and as material assets in
computing the worth of a town from
a practical as we'll as an esthetic
standpoint. Massachusetts, has good
tree warden laws and as a rule her
towns have been blessed with good
earnest officials who have performed
the duties of their position in a most
able, conscientious and public-spirited
manner

1t was a cruel act, that of cross
grained, prejudiced old John Marsh,
when he parted his daughter and Eus-
tace Lee. They had grown up as boy
and girl. They had kissed each other
for the first time under two spreading
elm trees. She was sixteen. Bustace
was two years her senior then. She
had blushed, but with happiness. He
was all a-thrill with courage, love and
hope.
Dear" he spoke tenderly, do you
remember that Arbor day six years
ago when we planted each one Of
these trees? They we're saplings then.
Just as they have grown in strength,
so has my love for you. Now l am
going away. oh, l hope when l return
! will be prepared to take you in my
arms as your future husband, Just as
these growing branches entwine and
protect"
1T shall be so If my fidelity can
bring that happiness about" pledged
Elaine, softly, perfect faith and aifec-
ton in her true blue eyes.
1t was then that, with the vehemence
Of an onru- hing storm, her father came
upon them. He thrust the fond lovers
rudely apart, Then he burst forth
into bitter abuse of young Lee. He
tainted him with his poverty, he pa
raded his own great wealth. He or
dered him from the place, never to re-
turn.
"As to you," he shouted fiercely at
his daughter, remember your promise
to our dying mother that you would
never leave me while i lived. Think
of one sister, who married a heartless
scoundrel and was killed by his neg
lect. Think of the other, an alien, a

to one your inferior, never to anyone
will l allow you to go and leave me
unless it be with my curse and disin-
herited in my will"
"My pledge to my mother is still
sacred" spoke Elaine simply, but in
iheart-broken tones. "Good-by, Eus-
itace, my only love! We shall never
meet again, but l swear solemnly that
of you, and of you only, l shall think
until | die"
And Il" cried Eustace Lee-"the
memory of your love l will value and
cherish more than all the world of
women b~esides!"
Then a last sight of Elaine fainting
in her fathers arms, of the malignant
ly scowling face of the old tyrant, and
Eustace Lee set out to enter a
new life with only the promise of the
woman he loved as a guerdon to keep
him steadfast and true.
1t was five years later when he re-
turned to his native village. He had
left 1t an orphan, poor, with his own
way to make in the world unassisted
He came back a skilled architect Of no
little fame. 1t was to find the old
Marsh home burned down, its former
occupants reported travelling abroad,
in constant search of health for the
sour, complaining old man whose
money brought him no solace or hap
piness.
The beautiful grounds lay neglected
and overgrown with weeds. They had
bat one attraction for Eustace. The
two trees beneath which he and
Elaine, boy and girl, had plighted their
troth. had thrived and grown. The
spot became a mecca to Eustace. I'm
der the spreading branches he would
sit for hours, dreaming of his absent
sweetheart, wondering II she had
changed, himself SO true to her mem
DRY that no other woman had aver won
him to a smile of fondness.
He doubted IL he would ever see
Elaine again. He wondered II she had
forgotten him and had married. 1t
was like her dictatorial father, with
his world worship and money pride. to
esteem an alliance with some titled
foreigner, and Elaine was beautiful as
an houri, and what more natural?
Then Eustace sought to Danish the
suggestion and ease the pain of his
longing by work, hard work. To the
town and the district a great many
wealthy people had come to build sum
mer homes. His ability as an archi-
tect brought hill in more work than
he could attend to. His force of as
sistants grew. He made money. but
did not change his modest mode of liv-
ing. Wealth. comfort. luxury without

met Elaine.
