BACK YARDS ARE WASTED.
Old Gardener Tells How the Space Car
BE Well Utilized. i5

An old gardener told Cincinnati
Times-Star reporter that the most won
derful thing about city folks is their ig-
norance of what they could do with the
little strips of ground surrounding their
houses, and especially with their back
yards. "They are not big enough for
lawns" said he, 80 most people Just
use them to walk on, but if they had
some gumption they could enjoy many
a garden delicacy of their own raising.
A strip twenty feet long and a foot
wide against the wall would furnish
enough grapes for two to eat The next
foot would supply them with peas; the
next with beans; the next with radishes
and turnips and lettuce; one bush in each
of the four corners would produce plenty
of gooseberries; another foot in width
would supply all the strawberries,
another foot raspberries; another,
blaclkberries; another a months supply
OF potatoes; another, sweet potatoes;
another with several fine messes of
corn, and SO on. There are ten feet
planted, but give what I have named
twenty feet, as almost any city back
yard could do, and they would grow
wonderfully. A back yard twenty by
twenty would raise plenty Of small
truck for two people, yet bow many
back yards are wastedl"

1t Is Contained, Says Rev DR.. Clark.
in Two MOnOsyl lIa bles.
Rev. DR.. Isaac Clarke, OF the Howard
University, in the absence of the pastor,
Rev. Dr. Newman. preached to a large
congregation yesterday morning at the
First Congregational Church, corner Of
Tenth and 6 streets northwest His sub
ject contained but the two words Come"
and Go which he explained as being
the condensation of Gods message to man.
Rev DR. Clarke took his text from Mark
xvi:15-''GO ye unto all the world aud
preach the gospel to every creature
and Matthew XI-2S-'COme unto Me all
We that labor and are heavy laden, and
viii give We rest" In addition to these
several other passages OF the Scripture were
quoted to show that condensation is char
acteristic OF the whole Bible.
The Bible, said Rev. DR.. Clarke, is q
ondensed presentation Ofthe aOIemesSage
of God 10 man in its true erder, Come"
and Co. which respectively convey to the
world Gods graciouSness and His authority
and power. The Gospel, ne said, is capa-
BILE of a most wonderful condensation; on
the part of God it may be expressed in the
single word, Salvation" and for man
may be reduced solely to ''Self-;acrifice.
Come" is an expression of solicitation;
of Gods preciOusneSs, and Is addressed TO
man in his great need of salvation. 1t is
the invitation of an infinite and infinitely
gracious being who is able and willing
to grant the needs and wants OF his Great
ures. 1t is an invitation to needy ones to
come to God that their wants may be
supplied through his infinite fulness OF
wisdom and po wer.

GAVE PASSPORT TO HEAVEN
Levi Moskofsky, a Crazy Pole, Made
Things Pleasant for Hotel Guests.
Kissed Their Feet and Hands and Was
About to Embrace a Passing
Lady When Arrested.

The guests and lolterers who were seated
in front or the Howard House trying to
catch whiff of fresh air about noon yestcr-
day were greatly surprised and interested
by the strange actions of a young man,
who spoke with strong foreign accent.
The stranger, whose name is Levi Mos
kofsky, is a Pole, and the police believe
he is demented.
He came prancing up to the group OF
sitters in front of the hotel, and selecting
Capt. Albert HARRISON, of Brooklyn, said
to him in broken English:
Il have just come from heaven and am
going TO anuint you for DEATH
With this remark Moskofsky knelt in
front of the captain and commenced TO
kiss his shoes. Then suddenly arising he
threw his arms about the neck OF the
Brooklyn man and wanted To kiss him on
the mouth. HARRISON made his escape
from the Pole by running down the street.
MoskofSky then approached Others of
the guests and attempted 10 kiss their
hands and feet. He called himself the
white dove OF peace and said he was
issuing passports TO the Celestial regions.

fellow, but / can act"
With this he made break for an elderly
lady who was passing and would have eni-
braced her had 1t not been for the inter

Policeman Elliott, OF the Sixth precinct,
