The Little Trees.

The little trees of Christmas
Stand bravely, row on row,
Hard by the high-reared altar
Where festal candles glow.
Dark looms the roof above them,
Who lately from the sod
With all the glad, green forest
Raised myriad hands to God.
The scurrying hare that passed them
The ducks, wedgeflying by
These only in the woodland
Disturbed their reverie.
Here fervent prayers and praises
From eager lips upspring
That strive through finite phrases
To laud the Immortal King.
The little trees stand steadfast,
Green martyrs to his praise.
Godward they lift their branches
AS in the clear, free days.
Godward they send their perfume
From every fine-wrought limb,
In man-made church or forest
Alike incense to him.
o little trees of Christmas,
Teach me the truths you know!
Teach me to find his temple
In woods and stars and snow.
Teach me through turning Godward
From fear to find release,
And steadfast, with sweet worship
To greet the Child of Peace.

Squaring the Deal.

Most people are at heart advocates
of the square deal. 1t is a natural
trait of the American people, and the
residents of this community are not
backward in this respect. Shall we
incorporate the spirit of the square
deal into our Christmas spirit this
year? Shall we go even further and
make it a square deal for ourselves,
and for the community, and for the
community that shelters and feeds US :?
Our people for number of years have

FEW INMATES AT
THE COUNTY HOME

There are probably fewer inmates
AT the County Home, South River. at
This time. than in any other period
of the Homes history.
In the white wards there are but
four white men. and two white
women. and in the colored wards five
eolored men and one colored woman.
The Board Of Trustees met in reg
ular session for the month OF Au-
gust yesterday. there being but one
absentee. one OF the male members
of the Board. After accounts were
audited and bills examined and or
dered paid, copies OF the new law. re-
Gently passed by the Legislature were
distributed, and read before the
Board.
Sheriff Thomas s. Dove. one of the
members of the Board, submitted
copy Of the report he had recently
made to the County Commissioners,
for the president Of the Trustees. j.
Grant Colhoun. who was incapacitat-
ed at that time from sickness. The
report was a comprehensive, bust
ness-like document, covering items of
the past year, ending July l.
All members OF the Trustees made
careful inspection of both white
and colored quarters and found them
immaculate.
The colored quarters are in need of
paint. but as the Notwithstanding is
in need of repair. the Board thought
it wise economy TO have the quarters
shingled.
In the white quarters, every win
dow light is in, danger of falling out,
as the putty is hard and dry from
age. The Board took action on hav-
ing repairs made before winter sets
in. as hard windstorms are likely to
shatter the glass. or blow out every
window pane in this old colonial
house if they are not soon given at
.ention. All inmates are up and about,
but some in very feeble condition,
both physically and mentally.
They expressed themselves happy
and contented, we'll fed and cared for,
and were surprised at their dinner
hour when the Board inspected the
quarters. They were enjoying a
wholesome, well-cooked meal.

FILTRATION FIRST

porting the result of a recent ex-
animation of water from one OF
the sources OF the city's supply,
said that chemical treatment
could be relied upon TO purify
water. but nevertheless urged
that this should not be taken as a
substitute for filtration.
In bringing forward this filtra-
tion project. / think it might be
well 70 state same Of the various
considerations that have impress
ed the board with the wisdom and
value of providing filtration at the
reservoir. Tais is a question
that affects the water supply of
10000 people in residence city
Health and comfort and the safety
OF the public necessarily come be-
fore dollars, but the cost of
filtration plant need not be de-
terrent TO its installation. We
have given some study TO this
project. and, while | am not Civ
ing definite estimate, / am con-
WINGED that filtration plant can
be placed at the water works that
will absolutely remove all turbid-
ity and dangerous meteorological
matter at all seasons of the year
for a sum less than twenty thous-
and dollars tS20,000), and the
revenues of the company will be
ample to justify the expenditure
in the near future Such fiItra-
ton would render the water, the
year round, as clear as crystal
and absolutely pure.
Water publication, the assurance
that city water supply is beyond
even the possibility of contamina-
ton or of any Objectionable fea-
ture whatever, is certainly among
the greatest obligations and re-
sporiSibilities of the municipality;
and duty that the people, who
own the Annapolis water plant,
owe to themselves.
For the greater part of the year,
the water supply here is compare
lively free from turDidity and any
dangerous bacteria, and we nave
been able heretofore to overcome
these conditions when their pres
ence has been manifested or
feared The altering of the water,
however, would obviate any like
lihood Of impurity, and bring it to
a condition of excellence that
would make the Annapolis public
water supply equal TO the best TO
be found anywhere.
This would mean absence of
any mental worry or foreboding
among our people at any time
concerning this great necessity of
their daily life; it would be a pub
lie improvement that cannot be
measured in dollars and cents,
and together with its salubrious
climate and other attractions it
would spread far and wide the de-
