Arm Arl:or is a pret t y ni -e city, u cviTv om1 conmlcs w'ho has heen theic. Hut it lias a council that does not stand ujt ïor its riglits. Ilugü trees stand riglit in the mlddl? o; the eidevalk, and p?destiinns tio ,!amming and danininig up agalnst tlnni and the trees n?ver ludge. A solier man oant -ell go along without bump:ng againet tlie eldewalk t:e', aoid the nu sanee is permitt'd to reniain without a protest fiom th? city dads. The oase is all tbe inore j;gfrravat'n.2. lie-ause tlw? biggest trees are on tilè" principal streete, where occiirB the most travel. One trse, fwo feot in diameter, is permitted to KTjmd in tlie walk in front of the residence of Judffe Kinne, of the circuit eourt, and it'.s gre-at hick if a lady gete letween the tree and tho fenoe without tiearing her dress. and if she "g-oes around" ehe must take chances with the mud puddles. It is said that the judige threatens to make it warm for anyone who meddles with that tree, but if the Ann Arbor council had any regard for pedes frlans or ttie pii'blio co'.ivpnienc?, it woull bring jii'(i}T(' o'f his high pcr.h in a York minute, and give him to understand that the city and not the resi'lCTUs on rol the streets.- Advian Prees.

In Adrián-, v ■ take it from t'h? above that the Jueiioes of the Po.aee, (tho Adrián Press man is one of tiwm) compose the city. The '.'residente" here do not wiani tli' old oak trees, of whk-h tbere are a groat many hosides the one reïerred to -ui rtowjl, and the city (oiincil and th? Justiees of the Pe'ace (wiho are of the residente themselves) are not so anxiouS to sJioav off as to do a deed of vandalism niercly to cali attntion to "authorlty, B Gad, Sir." It -svould lake a pretty tliin person, and one without skirts to get ín between that tree and the fence, as the distanse is only alout a hall of a foot, thouigh tlie editor of the Press wOio apiears to hs so we.ll posted, may have taken naturally to that Bide in some of his visits herê, III" ladi's ahvays go on tlw Outsidfi Where there is plenty of room, ml a good Ktöewialk (ir tlK'in to "keep out of tïie nand" on.

The Uttle fcüow and hle l'atlicr were orniniï down town the day. and, ,-is they approached this particular tree, ho asked : "Papa, does God know everything?" "Vi's, in.v son," was the reply.

'Did e know, papa, there was goIng 'to be a street along here ?" "Yes," again. Did he know that there was s'oing to be a sidewalk built Just right along hei-e, too ?" "Yes, my son, wliy do you ask tlvese foolish questions '.'" Wcll papa, if he knew all aliont it, why üd he row that tree right liere in 'tliis sidcwalk, I'd like to know?"
