The president, speaking through his postmaster general, does not say that he will reappoint Mrs. Longstreet So a new term of four years. He merely says he will not remove her for another.

Mrs. Longstreet Im-- exprMned the greatest confidence that President Taft would not remove het It is now reported in Gainesville that Mrs. Longstreet will ask for a nomi nating primary, In which she may be a candidate for reappointment to a full term under President Wilson.

Quick-Growing Catalpa Chosen Because of Heavy and Or namental Foliage. For the lli.-t time in years Atlanta really is obscri i.ig V.iair day and be fore sundown Ilin school children will have dotted every section of the city witli quick-growing" two-year-old cn talpa trees, about 20,000 in all. While Arbor day always has been celebrated more or less in Atlanta schools -observed in away to teach children tin necessity of trees ami green things in cities —there had been but little tier planting, and that has been confined exclusively to school property, save where the grownups en tered into the spirit of the day. Ph armacy Furnishes Trees. But this year, through the agency of Jacobs' Pharmacy, tills Arbor day will mean something to future Atlanta, and upon the success of this year's experi ment depends perhaps n large amount of Hie city's future beauty. Arbor due is observed generally in big cities and it is typically a city hol iday, although in tiie older count ty sec tions, where timber Is scarce and the necessity of shade trees is realized, it lias become popular. J. Sterling Morton, former secretary of agriculture ami father of Paul Mor ton. a Roosevelt cnbiin t member, es tablished Arbor day. The elder Mor ton was a tree enthusiast and took for his motto: "Plant Trees.” With this slogan, he contorted the rolling prairit s of his country estate near Nebraska t'ity. N'ebr., into one of the choicest bits of woodland in Amer ica. Catalpas Grow Quickly. With plenty of money to push his hobby, Morton, spread his “plant trees" propaganda throughout the ■ country, until Arbor day became a recognized day. legalized as a Holiday in several states. Tree enthusiasts ate aware that At lanta needs more shade, as much as any one thing to supplement the city’s lather meager | irk system, and today is to bi. a real \rbor dax in the tree planting sense of the term. In the school considerable time is be ing glVi n over to the lessons of the day. Tent hets will use the occasion to implant a love for the things of nature, trees and green tilings that go to make tiie cits beautiful. in choosing tile trees to plant, the quick-growing catalpa. known in some sections as tin Indian cigar tree from its long brown seed pods, the directors of tltt Arbor day observance have se lect'! a tree tl at is being used widely in many seettoris for shade purposes. Its quick glow th. heavy foliage and, or namental tlowiiing make it a most ■■'■pul.u and d. suable tree for a city street DOCTOR. ARRESTED IN VICE CRUSADE. GUILTY <>M \HA, Doc 4.

"You can not postpone the inaugural ceremonies from March 4 to the latter part of April—jobless Democrats would be too weak and hungry to march in April," says Charles White- sergeant-at-arms of the New York state Democratic committee. —News item. BY J. B. NEVIN. I ve waited for ages, out here in tiie cold, For a chance to slip in where it’s warm. I’ve peeked through the window, and gazed through the door— For years I have viewed with alarm. And, now that the table is set for my feast, Ami the dinner bell ready to sound. It certainly is painful when some one suggests, “Let’s not eat till April comes round!” On crusts and cold water too long have I led; Inside I'm rebellious and sad. I’m thin, and I'm hungry—and that isn't all— I in supremely disgusted and mad! 1 fain would sit in where I've long been denied, And delay not the sitting one day; 1 think I can live till the Fourth day of March, But till April? Why. I'd fade away! Oh. now that the winecup draws near to my lips— It’s bouquet alluring and sweet— Why should 1 put off the drinking? And why. Since the feast's there, should 1 not eat.’ Sing me not April, its blossoms and green— Its budding of linden and larch. Why wait for April a famine to stop, When the stopping is better in March? What gibbering idiot, loose from his cage. Suggested this postponement thought? Perhaps he's the fiend who knocks Santa Claus, And tells us that kids should be taught That Santa is only a make-believe thing— A faker that folks should reject. This sordid and sinister “Put it off” hint Comes not from a friend, 1 suspect! But, peace to my fretting, my vexings, and pain; There'll be no delay. I opine. When hunger is gnawing, and banquets are spread. It is time for the faithful to dine. So, on with the music; let April go hang! Bring wine for iny lips, ere they parch. . King loud the bell—let the feasting begin At noon, on the Fourth day of March! TRIES BLACKMAIL TO GET A REDUCTION IN COAL NEW YORK.
