Absent Minded Man and Bonds He
Thought Were Lost.

Ephraim Davis had the reputation q
being the most absent minded man IN
| Ghenango county. One day he went to
s. on various matters Of business. AT
the tailor's he bought a new snit
which he donncd, asking that his old
one be wrapped up. He then went to
the National bank and purchased bonds
of considerable value and placed them
III the breast pocket Of his new suit.
After doing several other errands he
drove leisurely home.
Some time afterward he went TO get
the bonds from the pocket of his. old
suit Naturally, he did not find them
there. Greatly pertnrbed, he put on his
new suit and set off for E.. There he

Every body can sing. Children can sing
almost before they can do anything
else. Singing is the natural express
sion of self Unlike instrumental mu-
sic, it does not depend upon the

There is no reason why choral singing

Save the Arbutus.

There is reason as well as sentiment
in the petition Of Mr.. Albert r. Bur
rage for an act to prohibit the sale OF
the trailing arbutus, or ''mayfiower.
Year by year, as the result of whole
sale uprooting Of this beautiful plant
for commercial purposes. the arbutus
is withdrawing further and further
from our towns. IL is already a
stranger not only to the region about
Boston but to the vicinity of every
stable town in the Commonwealth. Its
natural stronghold. the Plymouth
woods. is regularly devastated to sup
ply the Boston market, and at the
present rate of rayage it win soon be
exterminated there. The traffic in the
flowers and plants should be vigorous
ly suppressed, to the end that we may
have this exquisite and emblematic
flower with us in perpetuity.
AT the same time that its sale is
prohibited, our motor people should
be implored to spare the pretty plant,
and not gather it, except in very
limited quantities, for home use and
decoration. It is. of course. impracti-
able to forbid its plucking; it would be
impossible to enforce such prohibit
ton. But if people realize the peculiar
sensitiyeness of the arbutus, and the
almost impossibility of plucking the
flowers without uprooting the plant,
they win surely be inclined, if they
love il, to content themselves with the
fewest and choicest blooms.
The legacy of the Puritan flower is
a precious one. If should not be utterly
squandered merely because new and
wonderful means of transportation has
enabled all and sundry to annex Ply
