Aunt Julia, Mrs. n ' colored

in having an utterly worthless scape
grace son, who lately sened a richly
deserved bontenco In the penitentiary
at Pittsburg. Notwithstanding his
disgrace, Aunt Julia is exceedingly
proud of him nnd misses no occasion
of chanting his prnltcs. Somo tlmo

"Ah s'poso 5o'all didn't Know xah'm

PIMPLES ON FACE 3 YEARS
"I was troubled with acno for threo
long years. My faco was tho only part
affected, but it caused great disfigure
ment, also suffering nnd loss of sleep.
At first thcro appeared red, hard
pimples which Inter contained whlto
matter. I suffered a great deal caused
by tho itching. I was in a stnto of
perplexity when walking tho streets
or anywhero before tho public.
"I used pills and other remedies but
they failed completely. I thought of
giving up when nothing would help,
but something told mo to try tho CutI
cura Soap and Ointment. I sent for
a Cuticura Booklet which I read care
fully. Then I bought somo Cuticura
Soap nnd Ointment and by following
tho directions I was relieved in a fow
days. I used Cuticura Soap for wash
ing my face, and applied tho Cuticura
Ointment morning nnd evening. This
treatment brought marvelous results
so I continued with it for a fow weeks
and was cured completely. I can
truthfully say that tho Cuticura Rem
edies aro not only all, but moro than
they claim to bo." (Signed) O. Bau

the importance of trees to us ob a nation. Tho
American people have suddenly awakened to the
fact that not only is tho lumber supply of tho
country boing exhausted at a dungerously rapid
rate, with no prospect of replenishing, but, worse
yet, tho wanton waste of our forests has a sequel
In climatic changes that may mean hardship for
many citizens of the republic. Indeed, somo ex
perts go so far as to attribute to this cause tho
terrific heat of last summer and tho approxi
mately exceptional cold of tl o past winter.
"Tree Day" would bo qul'e as appropriate a
name ns Arbor Day for tho fi ring holiday and a
notable feature of its obsen.uico In the overage
community consists in the p'anttng of trees and
shrubs along roadsides and In other sultablo
places. In somo "instances the work devolves, by
decrco of time-honored custom, upon magistrates,
local officials or public-spirited citizens, but for
the most part it Is In tho hands of the teachers
and pupils of public and private schools. It Is
not too much to say that Arbor Day, like sev
eral other of tho spring festivals, is primarily a
young people's holiday.
For all that most communities observe Arbor
Day In April, the fact remains that It is a mov
able festival, and there aro some sections of the
country where, owing to the climate, It Is desir
able to havo tho tree planting exercises at some
other time of year. In a majority of our states
tho date for Arbor Day Is either selected by the
state legislature or by the governor of the state
acting under legislative authority.' Usually, su
perintendents jof schools supplement the guberna
torial proclamations on tho subject of Arbor Day
by the Issuanco of open letters bearing upon the
aim and object of tho holiday and with duo ref
erence to the lessen", It teaches.
The state of Nebraska gets credit for originat
ing Arbor Day, for It was tho pioneer In what '
has become a national movement. Tho Individ
ual who was tho original author of tho scheme
wus none other than Mr. J. Sterling Morton, who
nfterward became Secretary of Agriculture In the
Cabinet of President Cleveland during tho tat

ter's second term In the Whlto House. It was In
1872 that Mr. Morton conceived tho idea ot this
unique holiday and ho forthwith introduced be
fore tho Nebraska State Board of Agriculture of
which he was a member, a resolution setting
apart April 10 or that year as "tree planting day."
Tho legislature finally adopted tho resolution
ns proposed by Mr. Morton, although some of
his colleagues thought that "Sylvan Day" would
bo a better title for tho nowly-crcatcd festival,
and there Is a portion of the public that inclines
to this belief today. The new schemo proved an
emphatic success and more than ono million
trees were planted throughout Nebraska on that
flrBt Arbor Day. Not only were tho children of
the public schools Interested from the outset, but
Individuals and local soclotics of various kinds
pat tlclpated. This was due in part, no doubt, to
tho fact that tho Nebraska Stato Hoard of Agri
culture, which created tho holiday, offered a prize
of ono hundred dollars to the agricultural society
of that county which planted properly tho largest
number of trees, and provided a farm library
and a purso of twenty-five dollars for tho person
who planted the largest number of trees.
The next year Arbor Day was observed through
out Nebraska with Increasing enthusiasm and In
1874 tho governor, by official proclamation, desig
nated the second Wednesday of April as Arbor
Day for Nebraska. In 1885, when tho legislature
of the state formally designated Arbor Day as a
holiday the date was changed to April 22. If Ne
braska can bo taken as an example, tho Influence
of Arbor Day Is ccrtnlnly most beneficial and.
only pity is that other states could not ,
placed tho holiday on their official calenuj
early as did Nebraska. Statistics show
a period of sixteen years following tho ,
which Farmer Morton secured tho adc

Minnesota, which took action In 1876. Thorcnftor
there followed a steady procession of other states,
tho legislatures of which became converts to tho
popular Idea. In 1887 tho movement took root
In Canada, the Educational Department of On
tario setting apart a day on which tho trustees of
every rural school and incorporated vlllngo wero
desired to plant shado trees nnd mako flower
bedB. Oddly enough, tho Stato ot Now York did
not fall into lino In this movement until tho year
1888, but when tho state legislature did tttko up
tho matter It enacted very explicit legislation,
prescribing for exercises In tho public schools
tending to encourage tho planting, protection and
preservation of trees and shrubB.
Thus fur only ono foreign country has ndoptcd
tho American holiday known ns Arbor Day. The
nation that has paid us this compliment of Imi
tation is Spain, but In tho land ot tho Dons tho
