. « There is a beautiful and sentimental
side to this Arbor Day custom. The
parent who plants a tree to commemorate the birth of a child has awakened within hils heart, by that simple
act, a tender, sentimental interest in
the growth and budding beauty of his
arboreal child, intimately connected
with the household pet whose birth it
commemorates, while the child, early
taught to plant with its tiny hands
the twig under- whose umbrageuous
shelter he may, perhaps,rest in maturity, thereby imbibes a love for nature,
and a joy in beholding her wonders,
which may never be eradicated. It is
the prevalence of this beautiful and
touching custom ia some of the
countries of. Europe which has maintained and eyen added to the .forests,
now so carefully guarded by imperial
statutes. Let our people generally observe Arbor day this year by setting at
least a few trees, shrubs and ornamental vines about their homes, upon the
highways, or in our new park.

In a lecture delivered atWashington,
D.C„ last week that noted Presbyterian divine, the Rev. T. DeWitt Tai-*
mage, referring to journalism, said:
"To publish a newspaper requires the
skill, the precision, the boldness, the
vigilance, the strategy of a commander-in-chief. To edit a newspaper requires that one be- a statesman, an
essayist, a geographer, a statistician,
and, in acquisition, encyclopedic. To
govern a newspaper until it shall be,a
fixed institution is to demand more
qualities than any business on earth."

It's just as natural for them to make a
success of .life as it is for Ohio to give
us presidents. Alton -Burnham, a
graduate of the Clare high school class
of '90, in a letter to the writer informs
us that he will leave about June 1st
for a fouiteen months' absence in Europe. He will spend about eight months
studying mathematics in Germany and
the rest of the time traveling through
Italy, Switzerland, France, England
and Scotland. He has a leave of absence for all next year and retains his
position as- instructor in the University of Illinois during his absence and
is insured a position on his return. Inasmuch as this is the first time "the
university has" ever granted leave of
absence to an instructor, Alton naturally feels quite complimented. He expects to be in Clare a day or two to
see his old friends before leaving for
Europe.

.-There was a special meeting of the
common council last Tuesday evening.
The liquor bonds of Horace Joiner,
with J. W. Calkins and Geo. W. Dawson as sureties, were approved, also
those of Wm,' Duncan as principal and
Elmer Halstead and James Duncan as
sureties. A petition was read, signed
by 75 citizens, asking that the present
bicycle ordinance be .repealed or a-
mended, so that bicyclists be granted
fche use of the walks of the city, excepting on McEwan street between
the railroad and 6th streets. The
council ordered the city attorney to
draw up an ordinance giving to cyclists
the use of all walks of the city (except
on Pine street from 5th to State and
on State from Pine * to McEwan),
between the hours of 8 to 9,12 to 1,
and 4 to 4:30—the time that children
are on the streets to and from school.
At no time are bicyclists to use the
walks on McEwan between the railroad and 6th streets. Also, that bicy-*
clists are not to ride on walks faster
than 6 to 8 miles an hour. Cyclists appreciate the action of the council very
much. The council appointed a committee to make report of cost and offer
suggestions as to best methods of
bridging the creek at south end of
McEwan street, The .bridge there is
in bad shape and a new one will have
to be built sometime this year.
Ruth Ashmore contributes a helpful
and practical paper on "Is' Charity
Worth While ?" to May Ladies' Home
Journal, thus summarizing her discourse : "But, after all, what we want
to do, yon and I, is to all our lives with
chari ty so that to whomsoever there
may come need we can give help. The
help may express itself in material
things; it may be in the sympathy of
kindly words, or it may be spoken only
by the .pressure of the hand. ' There is
no charity in having your name on the
list of generous givers while some one
near to you stays within doors because
her coat is shabby, or because her
clothing is not sufficiently j) warm.
There is no charity in the giving of
much money if you have been harsh
and cruel to some one who deserved
your consideration, and have made
that one heart feel that there is nothing in the world but bitterness. There
is no charity in your being willing to
write cheques that represent much
money when you are quick to speak
the unkind word, or to show to those
who are around you a heart eaten up
by pride, and lips thab utter no words
save those of scorn. All the gold in
the world, will count as nothing unless
your charity is like that which was
taught to the world nearly two thousand years ago. Id meant that to feed
the hungry, take care of the sick, to
forgive the sinner, and to help,-always
in the best way was Christ's charity.
That is the charity, my friend, that
you and I want to try to imitate. Begin by being charitable with your lips,
by being charitable in your thoughts
and acts. And if, of your little store
there can only be offered a few pence,
you may be certain that they will be
reckoned bv God Himself as greater
than the many millions given by those
who are so unwise as to think that*
charity means only f-he giving of the
least of ail things—mbney."
