ill WHL GIVE HEW ENGLAND TEST primary Next Week to Show the Strength of Taft and the Colonel.

(National News Association) BOSTON, Man., April 8. The first Ireal test of the relative strength of Taft and Roosevelt among the Republicans of New England will commence this week, when Vermont and Maine "will elect their delegates-at-large and district delegates to the national convention. These will be the first delegates named in New England to attend the Chicago convention. The recent visit of President Taft to Massachusetts and New Hampshire and the epeeeh-making tours of the same section by Colonel Roosevelt, who also included Maine in his itinerary, gives evidence of the fact that both candidates consider the New England states to be as interesting politically this year as some of the other states that have been known in the past as 'doubtful." Vermont is perhaps the least interesting of any of the New England states this year from the viewpoint of the Republican campaign managers, it outward and visible signs count for anything President Taft can safely reiy upon the support of the Republicans of, the Green Mountain state in his campaign for re-nomination and reflection. The progressive movement "which has found fertile soil in the aieighboring states of Massachusetts and New Hampshire appears to have (made little or no headway among the fflepublicans of Vermont. ' , The situation in Maine, on the other hand, is entirely, different. There is a vast amount of Roosevelt sentiUnent in the Pine Tree state, but the conflicting statements and counterclaims have so confused the fight best ween the two candidates as to make an accurate forecast of the result difficult In the rural sections, especially in .Aroostook County, the great potatogrowing region, the feeling against the President on account of his reciprocity policy, which removed the duty from potatoes, is said to be very strong, although Taft supporters say that this has been exaggerated. The Taft sentiment seems to predominate in the cities, where the attempts to organize the Roosevelt supporters have not been very successful. The Roosevelt sentiment is strongest in the country towns, and it has "been figured out that it is the towns of 1,00! .population or less which control the Republican State convention in Maine. As Aroostock is the strongest Republican county in the state and stood faithful two years ago, when he state went Democratic, it may be seen that a Roosevelt feeling is something to be reckoned! with., , , It is generally conceded that ' the First district, which embraces the city of Portland, will elect Taft delegates, notwithstanding the fact that when the Roosevelt Club was formed in .Portland several weeks ago a representative gathering was present and when Colonel Roosevelt visited the city a few days later he was given a cordial reception. The Roosevelt boomers in the First district are those who supported Colonel Frederick Hale, the son of former senator Hale, for the Republican nomination for Congress against Congressman Asher Hinds, and this factional quarrel has overshadowed the main issue and enlisted the Hinds support for the President. - The Taft managers believe that a solid Taft delegation from Maine is a certainty. On the other hand, the Roosevelt supporters declare with equal confidence that Roosevelt will sweep the state, with the possible exception of the First district. One of the immediate results of a Roosevelt victory in Maine would be to give renewed energy to the efforts of the progressive Republicans to win out in the presidential preference primaries in (Massachusetts on April 30.

The Man Who Told It Said ft Wee Simply a True Narrative. A man who formerly was a waiter on a big transatlantic liner told this story the other day: "On a certain trip over I had at my table an irascible old gentleman who was a fresh air fiend. No matter what the weather he always insisted on having the porthole over the table open. It was no use to argue with him, but one day when the seas were very high and the ship pitching and rolling I ventured to remonstrate. He was up in arms in a minute. 'You are paid to obey orders.' he said tartly. 'Open that port.' I did. The soup course was served in safety. Then I asked him if he would have fish. 'Of course I will, he snapped. 'And I'll have it in a hurry. Don't keep me waiting all day.' "Just at that moment an unusually big sea rolled by that is. part of it did. A goodly portion came through the porthole, soaking the old man and depositing on the table in front of him a live fish. No waiter on board of our ship had ever served an order so quickly before. But I didn't get any credit for It. The queer thing about that story." he added, "is that it isn't a fish story at all. I never told it yet to any one who believed it. but it is absolutely true."

A LOCAL OBSERVANCE OF ARBOR DAY

BY J. F. THOMPSON. Arbor Day, as the name suggests, means the day for planting trees. It is not a National holiday nor can it ever be, for owing to climatic conditions, tree planting could not take place on the eame day. in a country. like ours, with so many climates. Indeed it could hardly be observed on the same day in a state as large as Indiana. It is therefore and must always be, a local holiday, determined by the governor of a state or some one in authority. The name of the man, who is given the credit of originating the idea of fArbor Day, is, Birdsey Grant Northrop, a native of Connecticut, born in 181". He was a preacher of national reputation, but who foresaw that the destruction of our forests even in his time would sooner or later result in national calamity if something was not done to arouse public sentiment against such destruction. He lectured all over the country upon the necessity of planting trees, and of preserving our forests, one of the great sources of our nation's wealth. The man who made it a practical event was, J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture, under Cleveland, during his second term. In 1872 Morton was a member of the State Board of Agriculture of Nebraska, and succeeded in having the Board adopt a resolution, that the people throughout the state plant trees on the 10th of April. A prize of a hundred dollars was offered to the Agricultural Society of any county in the state that would plant the largest number of trees. Some smaller prizes were offered to individuals of the State who would plant the largest number of trees. The newspapers took the matter up generously and the result was that more than a million trees were planted the first year, on this first Arbor Day," April 10. 1872, and in 1874 the Governor of Nebraska officially proclaimed the second Wednesday of April an Arbor Day for Nebraska. Every year until 1885 this day was named by a proclamation of the governor, when in that year the State Legislature named April 22nd as Arbor Day and a holiday. Since that time Nebraska has enacted many provisions concerning tree planting, one is that Corporate authorities of cities and towns cause shade trees to be planted along the streets, and that such authorities make necessary assessments upon property thus benefitted by such planting. In the first 16 years after Arbor Day was instituted, more than three hundred and fifty million trees were planted in this state. Nebraska is called now "The Tree Planters' State." In 1876 Michigan instituted Arbor Day and in 1888 New York, by a popular vote of the pupils in the state of New York, it was decided that the American Elm should be the State tree, and that the rose should be the State flower. Eyery Arbor Day thereWEIGHED THE ELEPHANT. A Problem Which a Hindu Prince Was Able to Solve. There is a story often teld In India of Shajee. a Hindu prince, who on a certain occasion showed himself almost as clever as Archimedes. A high official had made a vow that he would distribute to the poor the weight of his own elephant in silver money. But the great difficulty that at first presented itself was the mode of ascertaining what this weight real; ly was. All the learned and clever men of the court seemed to have endeavored'in vain to construct a machine of sufficient power to weigh the elephant. At length Shajee came forward and suggested a plan which was simple and yet Ingenious in the highest degree. He caused the unwieldy animal to be conducted along a stage specially made for the purpose by the waterside into a flat bottomed boat. Then, having marked on the boat the height to which the water reached after the elephant had weighed it down, the latter was taken out and stones substituted in sufficient quantity to bold the boat to the same line. The stones were then taken to the scales, and thus, to the amazement of the court, was ascertained the true weight of the elephant. Exchange. And All of Them Americans. An English visitor has recently been expressing his wonderment at the facility with which America assimilates its stream of immigrants. A friend with whom he was talking on the subject remarked. "My housemaid is a Norwegian, my grocer a Scotchman, my butcher is a German, my druggist is a Finn, my barber au Italian, my newsman a Jew. my laundryman is Irish, my fishmonger English, my florist Greek and my tailor Russian."

fore, the pupils of the schools of this state are called upon to plant these beautiful trees in their cities and towns and along the public highways of the state and to entourage the cultivation of roses. Every year Central Park and other pleasure grounds of New York City are thrown open to the school people and they plant trees in places indicated by the Park Commissioners, and as long as this day continues to be observed the future beauty of New York's parks is asured. This idea of Arbor Day seems to be strictly American, but it has been taken up by other countries. Spain in 1896 established an Arbor Day, which is called "The Fiesta Del Arbol." It is celebrated annually on the 26th of March. King Alfonso the XIII. instituted this festival by planting the first tree himself, in a little village near Madrid, and two thousand children from the schools of Madrid followed his example. In commemoration of this event gold medals were made bearing this ininscription, "First Fete of the Tree, instituted by King Alfonso, 1896." Since that time this day has been observed and tree planting in Spain has become an annual event, of great importance. Japan, too borrowed our Arbor Day idea and now has established the Em

peror's birthday as her day for plant-! ing trees. Arbor Day was first inaugurated in Indiana in 1884 but. nothing much was ever done until, perhaps stimulated by Spains example in 1896 the day was pretty generally observed throughout the state in the public schools nearly every state in the Union now has one or more Arbor Days and they are mostly observed in the public schools. Indiana has two, one on the last Friday in October and the other on the last Friday of April. The planting of flowers in the yards of the city, creates a love for flowers as much because we plant them and care for them as because they are bautiful. It is just as true of trees. If we plant them and care for them and watch them grow, we create within ourselves a sentiment in their be half. If a child plants a tree and cares j for it, when the child becomes a man or a woman the tree will till be growing and he will have formed an attachment for it which will b a protection to it and all trees. It is proposed to observe Arbor Day in the schools of Richmond, this April, in a practical way by giving to each pupil in the city schools a young American Elm, a tree when grown is surpassed by none in graceful beauty. The Lee B. Nusbaum company has made it possible for the city forester to give each pupil in all the schools one of these trees. This company has generously ordered two thousand five hundred of these young Elms. We believe that this will be the first practical step in reviewing the beauty of our City Forest. Correct.

Curious and Destructive Worm That Digs Tunnels In Wood. It was in 1731 that Holland narrowly escaped inundation along Its coast because the timbers of the sea dikes in many parts were discovered to be quite unsound. The timely discovery of the real condition of the dikes saved the country from an awful catastrophe, the full extent of which was comprehended by only a few Dutchmen. The timbers had been honeycombed by the teredo, or shlpworm. This creature burrows into any wood immersed In sea water. It makes an entrance when young and digs channels along the grain of the wood, living and often dying in the timber. The worm grows In some localities to a length of twelve inches, its girth being one and a half inches, and the curious thing about its whiplike body is its exceeding tenderness. It cannot bear its own weight. It will break if subjected to any strain. It will burrow straight along the grain of the wood unless turned aside by a knot or nail. and. no matter how many of these worms may be borrowing in the same piece of wood, they never run their channels Into one another. By some marvelous instinct they keep clear of each other's preserves. We have seen a cross section of a log eighteen inches in diameter, and we counted no fewer than 800 distinct burrows.

BULLFIGHTS IN PORTUGAL

The Battles Are Bloodies and the Contestants Rarely Hurt. The distressingly cruet treatment of animals so common In the Latin conntries is almost entirely absent among the Portuguese, and for this reason their great national sport. the bullfight, Li really an enjoyable spectacle to an American, writes Mrs. C. R- Miller in Leslie's Weekly. In the Portuguese version the bull is never killed. The horrible soring of horses a feature of the Spanish fightdoes not occur, for if a horse was injured in a . Portuguese performance the rider would be hissed from the ring and very likely mobbed afterward. The men taking part are rarely hurt, although the skill displayed is much greater than that shown in the Castilian style of the sport. Occasionally they have a burlesque Spanish bullfight in Lisbon with the cruelty eliminated. The hrses riddeu by the picador are armored and cannot be gored, and when the bull is to be killed the matador strikes him at the particular spot on the back ot his neck, which in Spain means almost instant death to the animal. Instead of killing the bull, however, the Portuguese matador's sword doubles up after the fashion of the ones used by the sword swailowers in our sideshows, and a red mark appears where it has touched the animal's skin, thus showing the audience that the matador has been successful. The horses and bull then run out of the ring uninjured. A Silent Hour. "The after lunch nap Is my favorite hour of the whole day." "I thought you didn't sleep aftet lunch!"
