CRADUATINC EXERCISES.
A Commnnlcation on the Subject
From an Interested Citizen:
Editor Herald: I wish to call your
attention, as well as that of the Platts
mouth board of education, to the fact
that an admission fee of 35 cents has
heretofore been charged at High school
commencement exercises. This fee, it
occurs to me, is both unreasonable and
unnecessary, for the reason that the
amount collected each year at the door is
more than double the legitimate expenses.
It has been suggested by some that the
school board could well afford to pny
for the use of the opera house out of
school funds and admit all friends of the
school free of charge, but even if the
board prefer to make a charge, then that
charge should be no more than is neces
sary to meet expenses.
An admission fee of 35 cents keeps
away many children who would be en
couraged in their school work by attend
ance at these closing exercises, and I
trust the school board will take some
action in I he matter that will increase the
attendance of those who are obliged to
pay their admission fee and decrease the
number of complimentary tickets.

The farmers are anxious to get into
their cornfields with the cultivators ns the
weeds will soon predominate over the
corn, and the late rains have done some
washing which is rather injurious to the
crops, and by the aid of the cultivator
further damage may be prevented.
The bridge fill near Mr. Perry's on the

The chinch bugs are numerous and will

TURNING NEW LEAVES.
THOUGHTS ON NATURE'S AND MAN'S
WAYS OF DOINQ IT.
Th Uam In th Books of Nature Well
Written Upon Papa Never Did Anything-
Wrong Morallxins; on Spring;
Day Four Perfect Things In Nature.
How many beautiful Ideas are framed into
language and float all about from somewhere
up the stream of tune. Why did some one
call the thin lamwsa of paper which make up
a book, leavesf Indeed, it was a pretty
thought, for bow like the leaves they are,
thin, fragile, perishable; and nowadays
there are almost as many of one kind of
leaves as of the other. Yea, and as for kinds
and styles there are almost as many in books
as on the trees, but are there any so witty
and wise! If you will make a study of the
leaves that is, the book of nature you will
see they are marvelously well written upon.
And you will not find one that is not illus
trated with Aner art than even adorns the
pages of our art books. See how well cut
are the edges, and enameled, which is better
than gilded. Some one has said if we could
live as long as Methuselah we should not be
able to find out all there is to be learned
from a single rose leaf. That is more than
we can say of our book leaves, although 1
know some that seem to be nearly as good as
rose leaves.
LEAVES IN OUR LTVES.
"Well, well," said John, as we sat down to
the breakfast table this morning, "we must
all turn over new leaves today." " Tis an
old saying, father," I answered, "but tell me
why we should turn a leaf today more thai:
any other day." "Truly, I do not know,"
said John. "I suppose if one lives rightly,
there is enough in each day to fill a leaf with
good things, and then one may turn it over
in the morning. But if it be bad, then one
had better tear it out altogether." "Only,"
said I, "one cannot do that, and there is
where the likeness fails, for we cau pick off
the trees a worm eaten leaf, but iu the life
book it must stay forever." "It is curious,"
said John, "that one can never forget. Only
last night, in a dream, I recalled events to
the utmost minutUB, that I have not thought
of in my waking hours for twenty years, and
I cannot now possibly by force of purpose
bring it back so fully and clearly. But I did
it in my sleep, and shall no doubt do it again.
What a terrible thing it would be to live for
ever in a bad dream never wake up, but
never cease to dream on recalling and re
hearsing the evil one has done."
"But, papa," said Ned, "you have never
done anything bad, you know so what's the
use of talking about itf" Now, John, Jr.,
has great faith in me, but Ned has boundless
faith in his father. The blessed innocents I
but I am glad it is so; for if not life would be
a desert to us who see and know our faults.
So 1 said, "Tea, John, I think we will all
turn over new leaves today. It is the first
day of spring and nature is already at work
with her uew loaves. Sbe will not turn them
over only, but will make them outright, and
swing them high, and fill them up as they
grow. And then we must not forget that as
soon as leaves begin to get large enongh for
the wind to turn them over, there will also
be blossoms, and with blossoms sweetness
and w holesomeness. " "And there will be
fruit also in due time," added John, "if some
thing do not interfere. So I suppose our new
leaves must not be quite like book leaves, but
more like apple leaves. But there is great
difference in fruits."
OCT IN T3K FirLDS AXO FOREST.
But 1 do not like moralizing, especially of
the old Hannah More sort, because there is
no end to it auy more than there is to a spi
der's web, so I proposed that we finish our
eating and go out and seo nature at her work.
What can be Oner than a spring day that is
full of premonition and preliminaries 1 It was
not yet May by any means, but it was a May
day soft and warm but above all unutter-
ably quiet. Did it ever occur to you that on
some days Nature herself is listening per
haps trying to bear her own pulse beatf The
elms and soft maples were shaking out their
infinite plenitude of blossoms, and the Eng
lish elms looked as if covered with a great
crop of hops. I wish these trees would turn
over a new 'leaf, for they begin the year
wrong end foremost.
They ripen a vast crop of seeds and fling
them down over all the lawns, and all sum
mer they are sprouting and springing in
every nook and corner, and outsido of all the
nooks, too. I said this to John, and he only
answered that if I could have my way there
would be a funny world after awhile. Did
m not coma out to turn over leaves and

niea would turn over a new loaf, and get rid
of their sarcasm and conceit. Ah, but what
splendid creatures they would be after awhile,
if we only had the way of it and the making
of them.
The lilac is the finest shrub in the world.
It has every good quality. It comes so very
early, is loaded with blossoms, is not only
sweet, but healthily sweet; isas easily grown
as a thorn bush or nettle. I like a flower
that takes to the poor people and will grow
without extra care. That is the lilac exactly;
just what the geranium is in pots the lilac is
In our yards. We sat down by the great
bushes of purple and white Persians, and
watched the young tufts of flowers. There
were more flowers than leaves and one or
two bunches were Just opening.
Fresh young grass, full of greenness and
dotted with blue violets, is fine, also, for the
same reason. They belong to every one, and
are never stinted in quantity neither grass
nor violets. Then, overhead, should be, first
of all, apple trees. With grass, violets, li
lacs and apple treas spring is complete every
where. These do not need to turn over any
new leaves, by way of amendment. They
are four of the perfect things in nature.
Mary Spencer in St. Louis Glolf-Dvn'orrt
Washington's Jump.
A story is told of Washington making
a famous jump for a wife during his
youth. "He was riding, so the 6tory
goes, along the Potomac above George
town, when lie came to the bouse of a
large estate, and seeing a crowd on the
lawn, hi) asked the cause of the gather
ing. He was told that a jumping match
was in progress, and the prize was the
hand of the farmer's daughter. He
looked on for a time at the different
jumps, and finally asked if he might
not also try his skill. The host con
sented, and Washington jumped farther
than the farthest. As he did so he noted
that the countenance of the maiden fell,
and that she looked rather woefully at
the face of his leading competitor, who
had made the next best jump, and who
was evidently her lover. He resigned
his claim to the lady's hand in his rival's
favor, and it is said that this lady after
ward recalled the circumstance when
she met him at one of his presidential
levees. " Cosmopolitan.
Making Ont a Prima Facie Case.
Here is a yarn about the incorrigible
small boy which I heard yesterday. An
Albany woman was telling a Bingham
ton woman, who was visiting in this
city, of the rapidity with which rents
were shooting skyward in Albany. The
Binghamton woman, after listening
awhile, began to tell of the Binghamton
rents. Then her small son interrupted
her, just as she had finished telling what
she paid per month in Binghamton, by
remarking: "Why, that wasn't for a
month, mamma; that was for a day."
Both the women laughed at the boy's
idea, but the little fellow kept right on
and paralyzed his mother by adding: "It
must have been for a day, any way, be
cause the man used to come every day
for the rent." Reports sayeth that the
the Binghamton woman collapsed.
Albany Express.
One Way to Clear the Score.
Two gentlemen were walking on F
street recsntly when one said:
"Let's cross the street. There comes a
man to whom I owe some money, and I
don't want to meet him."
"Does he dun you?"
"No; that's the worst of it. He never
speaks of it."
After they had crossed over, the debtor
walked some distance in thoughtful si.
lence. Then he said, seriously:
I wish that man would get mad about
it and go at me with a club. I can't pay
him the money, and I wish he would
thrash me like fury and settle the matter
so that I wouldn't ever be afraid again to
meet him." Washington Post,
