I didot' waut to gi soon. I wanted to see oor nine beat the West River nine. I wish you bad waited half an hoar longer." This was Jehu's first summer iu Green Woode, and he liked the place much better than the big beaches, for here. in the sweet, green, far-away conutrv he had found more to enjoy tli an he had dreamed a boy might ever know. John liked, too, the simple, whole some food which he now ate, far bet ter than the concoctions he bad seen at the table all his life. He grew strong and brown and happy, and on the morning of onr story he didn't like It at all that he must leave an ex citing ball game and go with mother to take luncheon at the'summer home of a friend over at Brook field. Bat be was a sweet-tempered little man and made no fuither remonstrance. When they retched their destination two little girls welcomed John, and with them he paused an hour nntil luncheon was served. As the meal progressed, the servant was about to fill John's glass with wine, when the boy shook his head. "No, thank yon," tie said, and turning to his mother, he added, "I'm keeping wise." Then, as he aaw look of wonder on his mother's face, he said bravely. "Since I have been in the coon try I've learned about two kinds of keep ing wise." "May I 'ask what they are?" asked the hostess quickly, and John with an earnest voice replied. "Yes, I'll tell you. When we bors play ball, and hear a fellow ihonf keep wise' we know that we mast have onr wits a boot ua and look out for trouble. That's one kind. The other kind I learned about at a meeting of ths L cyal Temperance Legion np at Mrs. Hale's house. I beard how much trooble wine and all other kinds of strong drink make, aud I promised I would 'keep wise' about that, too. and I should think" he added simply "thatevery body would feel the same way as I do about it." A look of sham was seen on eaoh faoe, the glasses were untouched and then and there the hostess and her guests determined to follow the ex ample of the child who so easily h d seen the wisdom of a course safe for all to follow.

J. SMITH NOW HAS A CLEAR CONSCIENCE J. Smith for many years a tesldent of Wolf Creek, where be was assistant postmaster, bat now a resident of Portland was troubled with bad conscience ontll a fewdars ago and to relieve it went to the United States authorities and told how be had de stroyed a letter which came in to the potto (Bee of which he had charge, and by so doing had broken np a court ship and enabled himielf to win a bride, all of which happened some fifteen years ago. All these years be has kept the secret, bat a short time ago bis conscience compelled him to tell his wife and though she forgave bim he still felt it his duty to tell the authorities because he believes ha would rather gojto heaven through the penitentiary with a clear comoienoe than to hell with a burden like an in tercepted letter on bis mind. The government however, will not prose cute him. TEA There's plenty of hum bug in tea; not one ounce in a ton Schilling's Best Tnt trscrr r'tnroi toot mm mi U jtm aaat Ilk II; t sr b.m. Property Ownsra In Evanston, III, Now Rsaliz tha Btntfit How ths Village Has Bssn Improved In a Fsw Years. The village of Evanston, 111., was built up lu a few years on the site of a uuniber of dnlry farms lying be tween Walnut Hills and Norwood. There were no natural trees on these f firms, and the result was the new village whs without shade. All the streets In the village were paved with brick, and the reflection of the hot sun on a summer day made the need of shade trees all the more marked. Three years ago the Welfare associa tion of Eraustou appointed a commit tee on shade trees, ami this committee railed upon every lot owner In the vll Inge and urged the planting of trees twenty-five feet apart along the curb line. This request was heartily re sponded to. says the Clnclunatl Com mercial Tribune, aud resulted In the planting of 800 hard maples, each olKjut twelve feet high. The work was done by an expert, who pluuted the trees scientifically and mulched them carefully. Each tree was then provided with a wire tree box, so as to be carefully protected. The committee Is still In existence, and each year It hns planted additional trees where uouo had been plnuttHl lie fore or where tree have died. There are uow over 1,200 of these trees in the village, and those which were planted three years ago have grown enough to give considerable shade and to lend beauty and charm to the scene. The committee bad some opposition to overcome. Occasionally property owner feared that the leaves of the trees would clog the gutters and down spouts; others aald the roota would rip up the side walks, while still others said the time would come In fifty years or more when the trees would be so dense aa to shut out the light Tha committee, therefore, bad to argue tha points In favor of trees, the beauty of tha budding foliage In the aprlng, the glory of ths summer and tha aplendor of the colors In the fall. They presented the fact that the tree la a purifier of the atmosphere. The carbonic acid gaa which la exhaled from the lunga of human beings and which is poison to animal life la ab sorbed by the leavea of trees and la the food of plant life. Thua vegetation keepa the atmospheric balance and con tributes to the health of mankind. Every one baa experienced the de lights of a rest under the abade of a tree on a hot summer day. Not only does the tree contribute to comfort by mitigating the rays of the sun, but the trees themselves cool the atmosphere and tend to maintain a fixed, equable temperature. This la so well under stood that the New York County Med ical society some years ago passed a resolution In which It found that one of the beat menus of diminishing the death rate among children In our cities la the cultivation of an adequate num ber of trees In the streets. Any one ran tell the difference be tween the air of a forest with Its brac ing ozone and the stuffy hot air of a treelesa city street The air In the woods contains less bacteria and dust particles and other air impurities tbsn does the atmosphere removed from the vicinity of trees. Trees Invite outdoor life. For Instance, In Evanston before the advent of shade trees there were hours on a hot summer's day when the chil dren were driven from the sidewalks and the lawna by the blistering rays of the sun and sought refuge Indoors. Now they gather under tba abade of the little treea, and year by year their opportunities In this connection will be broadened. The foregoing advantages of trees apply atrlctly to cities where It bus been more or lesa difficult to persuade property owners to plant So much baa been aald about the devaatatloo of th forests throughout the country, so much haa been argued with reference to floods, drought winds, the washing away of soil aud the like, that the na tion at lurgo baa become aroused to the needs of the preservation of our forests, aud going band In band with that agitation comes the realization of the same need In cities and villages. In planting a tree the bole should be large enough to spread out all the roota. It la a mistake to cut up the roots, aa la sometime done. The soil should be well rammed about tha tree, and then the treea should be mulched with black aoll or with well rotted ma nure. Subsequent to planting the tree needs little attention save that It should be occasionally watered during a very dry spell. A abade tree baa a commercial value. Instances are not wanting where two lots side by side of the same size and character are offered for sale. One haa shade treea and the other baa none. The one with the treea sella for more money. There Is an Instance In the Cincinnati court where aa much as was recovered as damages for the wrongful ckntructlon of a sycamore tree. There was a verdk-t of $400 for au elm tree In Walnut 11111 and one of $300 for two stiver poplars In Cum mlnavllle. Opposition tn Evanston to the plant ing of trees has disappeared.

Closely observe the label aod ke certala el ctUo RoyaL a year or two there will not be a single lot of ground lu that auburb without Its sunde trees. J. N. Ramsey, who was appointed chairman of the original committee In charge of tree planting In Etanstoi, Is (till acting In that capacity. It la ne unusual thing to see Mr. Ramsey wan dering through the village examining the bark and foliage of treea and noti fying owners of any attention which tlio treea require lu order to guurautee their continual growth. He la assured of the fact that for a century' or two be will have a thousand or more mon uments to bis memory, and not only will they tie monuments to bla mem ory, but they will be useful In con tributing to the health, bapplneaa, pleasure and comfort of thouaanda of people. While the tree commlttee'a work waa well done, it now regrets that It did not plant a variety Instead of one klud of tree. It la correcting tbla mistake by filling In with other varieties the va cant places end where trees have died. In this way a sufficient variety will be secured. The committee recently plant ed treea about the Evanston public school and planted no two alike. This will assist the school children In becom ing familiar with the various varieties of our shade trees. As a money proposition the trees al ready plauted In Evanston, with the care and boxing, cost In the neighbor hood of $2,000. and It la certain that If f'JO.OOO were offered to the property ownera for the privilege of digging up and removing all the trees the proposi tion would lie promptly refused. It Is safe to say that the trees have added to the community a value much larger than that SPRING CLEANUP.
