schools this morning upon the streets
of the city would have been sufficient
Not in all the history of education in
Harrisburg has there been anything
like it. Every official of the school
district and every principal and
all the teachers and the girls and the
boys share in the city-wide praise
which was heard on every side to-day

Not only the proud parents and
friends of the marching hosts, but
the thousands upon thousands who
watched the procession Joined in the
applause that greeted school after

and down the route of procession.
It was a revelation of the school
life of Harrisburg; an eye-opener for
those who do not always realize what

WATCH YOURSELF GO BY.

Just stand aside and watcn your self

Think Of yourself as "he" instead Of

Note closely as in other men you note,

Pick flaws; find fault; forget the man

And strive to make your estimate ring
true.
Confront yourself and look you in the
eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself go

Interpret all your motives, just as

You looked on one whose aims you did
not know.
Let undisguised contempt surge through
you when
You see the shirk, 0 commonest of

Despise your cOwardice; condemn wrat'

You note of falsehood in you any
wnere.
Defend not one defect that shames
your eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself go
by.
And then, with eyes unveiled to what
you loathe-
To sins that with sweet charity Is
you'd clothe--
Back to your self-walled tenement
your go
With tolerance for all who dwell be-
low.
The faults of others then will dwarf
and shrink,
Loves caain grow stronger by one
mighty link
When you, with "he," as substitute

Have stood aside and watched your
self go by.

ed areas on the trunk and the root, and
for peculiar black, rootlet like branch
ing strands, mostly about the thickness
Of the lead in a pencil, clinging to the
bark These strands, known as rhibo-
morphs, are characteristic of the
disease, since they are special form of
the fungus which causes the rot They
can be distinguished from the roots
of any small plants which may also be
present in the soil, by their peculiar ir-
regular method branching and by the
white interior substance which can be
rather easily separated from the thin
black covering. The dead bark and
wood is penetrated by whitish fungus
growth and has a strong mushroom
odor.
The disastrous effect of the disease
results from the girdling of the main
roots and the trunk, and from de-
struction of the activity of the sap
wood. This brings about root starva-
tion, a checking of the ascent of water
through the wood and as conse-
quence, the eventual death of the whole
tree
The cause, and control measures Of
this disease will appear in this paper
in the near future.

Girl Stolen BY Gypsies
Rescued at Oakland

Oakland, al, Dec. 1l.-Torn from a
gypsy who is alleged to have held her
intimidated for years, 19-year-old Rose
Cruz, stolen from her family in Chi
cago in 1910, was restored to her broth
err II Cruz, today by Captain of Police
Brown. The girl was found in gypsy
camp.
For five years the brother hunted for
the girl, followed the elusive trail of
the gipsies.
Rose Cruz at II was a pretty school
girl. Today she is a changed girl. She
was forced to slave for the gypsies, she
says, pick pockets, steal and engage in
petty criminal work rowing bands of
gypsies are accused of.
After she was kidnapped from Chicago
to Omaha, Theodore Ellie, a gypsy saw
the girl and bought her from her cap
tors. When he learned today that
he was to lose her, Ellie argued with
the brother, offering him $4,000 for
the grl. He maintained he had bought
her from another gypsy and therefore
she was legally his.
Although he is alleged to have kept
the girl intimidated during her cap.
tivity to such an extent she was afraid
to tell her brother her story even after
her rescue, Rose declared Ellie had
claimed to love her. She told the po-
lice, however, that he had beaten her,
once having broken her shoulder blade.
During her wanderings, she said, she
Went al through the states of Montana,
Oregon and Washington.
Cruz declared this afternoon that he
intended to lay the case before the
United States district attorney in San
Francisco.

Get the Most Out of Your Food.

The digestive organs absolutely need
the influence of pure blood for the
proper performance of their functions.
Persons that sleep in small, ill-ventil-
ated rooms complain of little or no APP
petite in the morning and of disagree
able dryness Of the mouth and throat.
Why2 Because, as a result of breath
ing air that is impure, their blood is
impure and fails to give their diges-
tive organs the stimulus they must
have for perfect work. It is necessary
that we should have pure blood if we
want to get all the good out of what
we eat that there is in it and to get it
comfortably. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
distinguished for making pure, rich,
vitalized blood, perfecflng the diges-
ton and building up the whole system.

EVERYBODY NEEDS
PURE, RICH BLOOD

Pure blood enables the stomach, liver
and otner digestive organs to do their
work properly. Without it they are
sluggish, there is loss of appetite, and
of the intestines, ana, IN general, all
the symptoms of dyspepsia.
Pure blood is required by every
organ of the body for the proper per.
formance Of its functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood, and this is why it is so success
full in the treatment of so many diseas-
es and ailments. 1t acts directly on
the blood, ridding it of serofulous and
other humors. 1t is a peculiar cpmbi-
nation of blood-purifying, nerye-toning,
strength giving substances. Get it to-
