SMOKED HIS CIGAR BY PROXY
Bismarck Gave Cherished "Weed" to
Wounded Soldier and Enjoyed
Watching Mans Contentnsnt.

With all his brusqueness and even.
at times, brutality. Bismarck. says
Frederick Marvin, had much Of the
'live-and-let-live" philosophy. and It
humanized him so that men loved him
and willingly followed after him. The
story of the last cigar ut Koeniggratz
illustrates what has been said, says
the Yorkshire (Eng.) Post.
"The value Of good cigar" said
Bismarck, as he proceeded to light an
excellent Havana, ais best understood
when 1t Is the last you possess and
there is no chance OF getting another.
At Koenlggratz had only one cigar
left in my pocket, which carefully
guarded during the whole Of the bat
tie, as miser does his treasure. ]
did not feel justified in using 1t.
81 painted In glowing colors in my
mind the happy hour when I should
enjoy 1t after the victory. But mis-
calculated my chances. And what was
the cause of my miscalculatlons? A
poor dragon. He lay helpless, with
both arms crushed. asking for some
thing to refresh him. I felt in my
pockets and found only gold, and that
would be of no use to him. But stay,
! had still my treasured cigar
lighted this for him and placed It be-
tween his teeth. You should have seen
the poor fellows grateful smile! I
never enjoyed cigar so much as
that one which did not smoke"

MARCH FIRST MONTH OF YEAR
Was So Placed In Roman Calendar and
Continued Until Comparatively
Recent Times.

March was the first month In the
Roman year. and since the Romans
were warlike people, they honOred
Mars, the god Of war. BY uaming the
first month Martlus. 1t vas the first
month In many parts of Europe until a
comparatively recent date, even In
England the year beginning March 20
until 1852.
The SaxOns called II Lenet MOnat-
length month-because In March, the
days become noticeably longer. and
this was the origin of the name "Lent."
The English have proverb, "A peck
Of March dust is worth kings ran
some" and another. "a dry March
never begs its bread" which express
their faith In the belief that dry
March means a prosperous year. This
Is explained by the fact that they do
most of their planting in March, and
unless the soil is dry, planting often
Is delayed.
It's different in America. In the mid
die West more rain falls in March
than in April ordinarily and almost as
much In March as In May.
Almost universally In the North
Temperate zone, March is regarded as
The windy month. Normally It marks

The Case Of Howatt.

S ssf,anver hotels and restaurants have joined
tux strike against the high price OF potatoes.
patrons will get none to eat, but probably Will
uay extra for substitutes. Prices will not come
down, for others will meet them.
That's the way strikes commonly work out
and that's the reason that the public is earn
eetly demanding legislation that will give the
public voice in settlements and even that
strikes shall be prohibited. Of course the
Denver case is not really a strike and would
not be subject to regulation in any event, but
it serves very well for purposes OF illustration.
Some think strikes should be permitted,
only investigation and publishing of the facts
being compulsory. Others hold that striking
has no more justification thansdueling and is
vastly more pernicious, since the innocent by
stander always gets hit, and resort to the pro-
cesses of law should be made compulsory in
the rne case as it is in the other.
Kansas is trying the more drastic method
of dealing with the nuisance. That's why
Alexander HOwatt, head of the state miners,
ard two of his associates have been locked up
for contempt. They hold the right to strike,
regardless of who suffers, to be inviOlate, and
refuse to recognize the legal machinery Gre
a.ed to deal with labor controversies.
II news reports coming out Of Kansas have

Howatt can hope to become a martyr on the
program he is following. No class has right

anything once is not bad rule to follow
where there is such broad opportunity for
improvement as there is in the old way Of set
ting laDor disputes.
1t is too evident that Howatt is looking for
notoriety. His actions during the last few
months have forfeited public sympathy.

Arbor Day.

Do you know the date Of Arbor day? Do
you know the month? Do not think you are
alone il you cannot answer even the second
of these questions.
Nearly everybody has a general idea that
Arbor day was originated to promote the
planting of trees and shrubs and that there
is day set aside for it in the spring. Every
spring the governor issues proclamation on
the subject and the schools bring the matter
TO the attention of pupils Often there are
special exercises. To the average grownup,
however, the term means little. Yet there is
perhaps nc day set apart for special purpose
OF greater importance than that dedicated to
preserving and extending our forests. State
and national forestry officials and educational
authorities could engage in no more necessary
enterprise than that of arousing active interest
in practical observance of the day.
Ohio Originated school celebrations of Ar
bur day After 1882, when the state intro
dacei tie observance into public institutions
Of learning, other parts of the country followed
Ohios lead and soon Arbor day was observed
regularly throughout the United States and
Canada.
Conservation of our forests is one of Amer
i,as greatest economic needs. We must have
greater forests to provide more building lum-
Der, more paper pulp and countless other es-
sentials We need thickly wooded hills to as
s;st the natural irrigation of the soil and to
protect the country from damaging floods and
wind storms. Forests and trees also are es-
surtial for the preservation and protection of
oar bird life in which SO many are concerned.
Al Dor day deserves far better than it receives.
Arbor day will be observed in Illinois
