Their success is wonderful when one I considers that to many, perhaps the majority, this was their first public appearance. Miss Bessie Wrede made an ideal I Mikado, Lytic F.

Dear Mr. Wing: Will you kindly permit li.e to use a little space in the News Item. Recently while attending a lecture at John Hopkins University, by one of the greatest naturalists of the country, I was very much impressed | with what he said on the subject! "Necessity anil value of trees." My! thoughts were diverted to the little; town Laporte and I again i-tood on the front steps of St. Johns Episcopal church, and saw before and about me magnificent rows of Maple trees. But unfortunately my picture was j spoiled, for at the base of each one ! of these magnificent maple trees I | saw a bucket, pail, tin can or some I other receptable used for the purpose j of receiving that which if the vital factor to a tree's very existence. And now that the season is near at | hand when the trees will be tapped i for th*ir sap, would it not be well for the council of the Borough of Laporte to take some action toward prohibiting the wholesale tapping of some of the finest shade trees. Let there be no procrastination, for after the tree are bled it is too late to remedy the evil resultant this sea son. But some may say tapping does no harm. I beg to differ. There is a vast amount of ignorance on this very subject among people who should know better. A little bleed: ing may do a man good, but period: ical cutting of his arteries will weak: en and eventually kill him. Sap is to a tree what blood is to a person— the life giving principle. It is reus: ouable to suppose that a tree which has been drained of that life giving power will be weakened. In some of its limbs there will tie a deficient circulation, hence the dead limbs at I (be top of tapped trees. Possibly it is presumptuous for a lion inhabitant to tell the council of i Laporte its duty, yet tt is done out of love for and in the interest of that which is the principal attraction of Laporte, namely—its shade trees. Sincerely, llev. Eugene A. Helm, Baltimore, Md. As a preparation for a strike the ; railroads are busy at present sushing the out put of coal from the various ' collieries In both anthracite and bit uminous regions to the market and storage places in order to have a large supply on baud *hotild a strike be declared. Collieries are being pushed to their utmost capacity. It must bo somewhat pleasing Governor Penny packer to note t!i i j papers that have heretofore spent I much mental effort and type in de . riding him, are now joining in tho ! general praise that is given him for I having accomplished so much in I I lie way of reform legislation. Only • one measure out of the entire list of reforms he proposed failed of passage and that was the application of civil service ruleH to State employes. A square deal for everybody wouid never have permitted the abuse to 1 which the Governor hus been sub jected since he occupied the execu tive t'hair. That he was a misfl; and ill adapted to his position was evi dent soon after he took it, but that he honestly endtavored to till the station rightly was aLsoevident. It was the political exigencies of the ruling powers in politics that put him there, but though his yoke gall ed, he wore it with as good a degree of patience as could have been ex pected of him. Governor Penny packer has never yet had his due.— • New Age. j gHERIFF'B HALE.
