The Sycamore.

The Sycamore tree has begun to
drop its bark and soon the entire tree
Will emerge white and clean form its
dull grey covering. ! think the Syc-
amore is one of the prettiest of trees
and lis unusually beautiful when II
sheds its bark. have often wonder
ed what makes this tree shed its
bark, which seems to me a habit pc
culIar to it, as III know OF no others
that do it. have heard 1t said that
1t damages the tree materially to pull
the bark from it and that it must be
left alone to shed it at its own bid
ding. l saw whole clump OF these
pretty trees one time growing by a
country wayside that had finished
shedding their coats and they made a
most beautiful picture as they stood
out against clear sky. AS we ap-
preached them they had the appear
ance OF having been treated to coat
of white paint, but as we drew nearer
ew saw that they had only been trans
formed by the dropping of their coat
of soft greyish green.
We have many trees in our yard
and garden, but to me the Cycamore
is about the prettiest and most inter-
esting. 1t is favorite tree with the
birds, too, and they seem to delight
to mount its branches and there sing
their morning and evening songs. The
borwn wood thrush literally takes
possession OF this tree at eventide and
pours forth its delightful notes on the
air. The tree Is, believe, a natice
OF the forest and this bird is a wood
bird, and this may have something to
do with its liking for this peculiar
species Of thees.

HOSPITAL MEETING.

Miss Mary Irene Lamb of Reading,
Pa, gave very interesting talk on
the hospital question last evening, at
the Library auditorium. Her argu-
Lent was convincing and was appre-
ciated by the public-spirited audience
in attendance.
Hiss Lamb gave an outline of how
4 campaign is usually conducted, and
oppressed her audience with the con-
viat:on that hospital campaign in
this community would be able to raise
the required amount of funds neces-
sary to begin operations in from
three to four weeks.
A brief resume Of her plan would
b, about as follows:
First organize committee of lead
ing citizens who are empowered with
the selection of campaign worker.
This committee to act in the capacity
of temporary board of trustees Of
the organization. The cost of cam
paign would be approximately per
cent to tx per cent Of the gross sum
to be subscribed. This cost would in
clude the expense of printing circu-
lars through which medium the en-
tire county could be solicited by send
ing them through the mails. The en-
ployment of vehicles to convey CAM
paigners or teams to every person in
the county. The establishment of
headquarters and places Of meeting
for the teams. The incidentals usual
ly associated with a work of that
character as we'll as the salary and
expenses of the campaign leader.
In order to be able to procure fifty
thousand for an institution it would
cost about three thousand to thirty
five hundred dollars to defray all of
the expenses.
Miss Lamb has been engaged in hos
pital campaign work for the last five
years, and is a member of the Asso-
citation of Campaign Workers of
America, an organization having
launched campaigns from twenty
4 thousand dollars to two million dol
lars. She claims that she can pro-
cure the necessary funds for our hos
4 pital, in the course of about three
weeks.
