that he is rot going to get away

his goat and heat him some way
IL seemed rather peculiar but that -
Just what happened to Fulton in his

aver Force made an awful howl about
that Fulton should have scored a

Oh . foul
There il no reason why a man
like Fulton should ever have per-
nitted Morris to get right in close
and work that way continually
Fulton i plenty fast enough to
have used his left hand to good Ell

him I'D in the air no Doubt and he
worked Just to suit Mr. Norris
The match cost Fulton a bunch OF
money. for by losing to Morris he lost
match with Jess willard, which
would have neJted him easily $4,000.

CITY TREE PLANTING.
Pride of American Cities In Their Ar
boreal Wealth.

Pride of American Cities In Their Ar
boreal Wealth.
The commissioners of Paramount
ark report that during the fiscal year
covered by their annual booklet they
nave planted COOS trees along the city
streets, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. Washington claimed some
years ego pre-eminence as tree plant
ing city, calling attention to its pos
session Of more trees than Paris. At
the rate at which tree planting is being
lone in Philadelphia the Quaker City
bids fair to get the laurels Of the ma
tional capital No better investment
Of city funds could be made. Tree
planting, with the park authorities in
charge of the city's trees and empow-
cred to prevent their mutilation by ig
nOrant primers and damage or deStruc-
ton through other agencies, results in
the steady improvement Of the appear
ance and even the healthfulness of
cities.
AS long as tree planting is every
body's business it is nobody's and lit
tie or no care is taken Of trees already
planted. For the Identification of a
city it is necessary to make tree plant
ing public enterprise, undertaken In
businesslike way and continued in
definitely.
Louisville's trees, formerly at the
mercy of property owners, now are
under the supervision and protection
of the park commissioners. The effect
of safeguarding them against haphaz-
ard treatment soon will be appreciate
to every observer.
Any one who looks at the sturdy.
symmetrical trees along Southern park
way, which have been under the care
of the park commissioners since they
were planted. and then looks at the
sadly defOrmed trees which have been
tuinously pruned by property owners
in many of the streets can see how i'm
portant intelligent supervision is. Phil
adelphia's custom of having printed
every year in book form the record of
the Identification and conservation
work that is being done is attracting
general attention to the usefulness OF
the Paramount park commission. 1t is
q plan well calculated to earn popular
support for the work in hand. The
subject is one which is easily made
interesting, and by showing the tax
payers what are the returns upon their
investment for parks and city trees the
park commissioners can demonstrate
that they are making at small cost sub
stantial and permanent improvements

Cambridge, Mass, has recently inau-

activity of Mayor Wendell d. Rock
wood of Cambridge and others inter-

been created, to be known as the in

council has appropriated $1,000 to carry
on the work of the bureau.
The first work Of the bureau is9tO sur

through publicity the interests of Cam

that Cambridge's only claim to fame
is in it's title of the university City"
The publicity work will be followed by
a systematic campaign to secure new

They Save Their Shoes.

1t is the ambition of almost every
Haitian to possess a black suit for spa
cial occasions. If he is a private citi-
zen without hope of political prefer
ence or place, he is content with coat
cut in sack effect. If he pretends to
fashion he likely wears a long cut
away. If he happens to be a general,
or a member of congress, or an eX-
member, or a minister, or eX-miniSter,
he affects the extreme frOck or Prince
Albert, and the heavier and thicker the
cloth the happier the wearer, though
he swelter in his raiment 1t is also
the ambition of every Haitian to have

raises him considerably in the social
