"Come, 'John, lam ready," and Mrs.
Chapman smiled at her little son as
aha turned away from the ball field
and clambered In the wailing trap.
"Oh, Mother! 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.

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. Within

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
