Senator Evans has introduced a bill making Memorial Day a school holi­ day. When Decoration Day was made a legal holiday it did not occur to the authors to make a like amendment in the school law.. The superintendent of pub­ lic instruction has ruled against recog nixing it as a school holiday, because he is required to be governed by the school law, and the Evans bill will remedy this (defect and give the school children a chance to observe the day. below fry**1 R 19" A Washington telegram says that all necessary steps for, putting into effect the recent legislation raising all pensions below §6 to that rating have been taken by the Pension Bureau.

There is an act of humane providence or forethought in the planting of a tree, especially a tree well selected for its purpose, which always commends itself. The idea of Arbor Day is good according as we put it in practice. If every one would plant " somf kind of a fruit or ornamental tree on each ArborDay, every farm and every city lot in Illinois would soon blossom like a rose, and many who in after years enjoyed the comforting shade of wide ^ spreading branches would bless the orig­ inator of Arbor Day. « The world's present stock of war clouds is the largest and most varied thathas lately been placed on exhibition. It includes examples of all styles and sizes, colors and patterns. Some of them are made for domestic trade, and others --chiefly the larger and more highly col­ 's5 oped ones--were prepared for export. The condition of this industry is extra­ ordinarily active and.prosperous. There is hardly a country in the world that doesn't yearn for a lot of war clouds and thanks to the efficiency of our modern appliances, they can be nroduced in quanties to suit without disturbing the f public peace or impairing the average citizen's right to life or the pursuit of happiness.

One of the answers received was from C . S. Braadbent, De Rio, Texas, and ran as follows: "Yes, your circular letter is true. Prices do show the effect of the changes in the tariff. But this is a stock country, and with wool selling at seven cents £ pound and hides selling at prices that do not make it worth while to ship them, if the free trade statesmen will tell us where we are to get $2 to buy a boy 's suit that we formerly paid $6 for they will do us a favor and solve a knotty problem, 'Our people can hardly get enough to eat, and have to wear cloth­ ing carried over from the days of 18-cent wool.
