The condition of the Parks.

The condition of the parks, squares and
grass plots Is a disgrace to the city. In
Forsyth park the flower beds are oyerrun
with rank grasses or choked with coarse
and ugly weeds. Along the CASTOR street
walks there is a promising crop Of corn,
and a growth of weeds. on the Oglethorpe
avenue green the weeds are probably a
foot high and as rank as might be found
in an abandoned COW pasture. The looks
Of the green suggests the presence of
snakes. In all parts of tho city the once
beautiful park places present the appear
ance Of a disreputable tramp with three
weeks growth Of beard. Such a dishevel-
ed, unkempt condition of affairs would not
be permitted In third rate country town.
Aside from being ugly. the rank growth
of weeds which is coming on and becoming
more vigorous under the influence of the
almost daily rains and the warm sunshine
will presently become a menace to the pub
lie health.
1t is not to the credit of anybody in au.
thority that things should be permitted
to go on as they are going. The people
of the city do not care a baubee whether
or not any official is indicated or humili-
ated, as the case may be, by the neglected
condition of the parks. What they want
what they demaud-is a clean and re-
spectacle looking city 1t is not respecta-
BILE looking now. Who is responsible for
It?
The budget provided for the park and
tree commission has been spent. The
money is gone beyond recall. The city
has received good value for it. What is
the use of continuing to sulk over the
matter? Would it make the council hap
pier to see the parks grow up into hiding
places for snakes and toads? Would it
sufficiently punish the park and tree COM
mission for an over indulgence of their
sense of the beautiful if the grass plats
and squares were to become rank patches
Of noXioQs and ugly weeds?
1t IS high time some understanding were
reached with regard to the park work.
The people are not interested in the petty
differences which have stopped the work.
They want the weeds cut the grass NOV
ed and the flowers attended to. They do
not care so much who does it as that it
shall he done

ana They Had to walk.

Two ladies entered a Geary street car
yesterday, and each commenced fumbling
with her purse at about the same time,
says the San Francisco Post.
Let me pay" said one.
'No, it's my turn" declared the other.

"WeI all right"
"Why, I'll declare! I haven't cent in
my purse I must have lost all the change

The other woman flushed and looked en-
barrassed, but she opened her purse and
tried to look surprised
"Why, 1 haven't a cent, either. Did ]

Why. what could have become of it?
We're in nice predicament."
AS they left the car al the next corner
they bowed icily to each other and went
different ways.

People never get an encouragement for
doing the good Samaritan act in the in
terest of the public, as the man decided
who offered to assist distracted woman
and ameliorate the sufferings of a lot OF
respectable people on a suburban car,
says the Chicago Times-Herald.
The boy who howls was in evidence, the
curled darling of his only own mother and
the terror of everybody else, and he had
kept the car in a state Of wild excitement
and exhausted the patience of everybody,
including his doting parent.
"Oh, If your father were only herer'
she had said for the fiftieth time, as she
tried vainly to restrain the bowling ter
ror
At that he stopped bowling long enough
to beat the air with his small shins, and
the woman on the other side of him re-
marked audibly that a cage was the prop
er place for saVages like him.

won't you be good boy?"

him.
Then it was that the phllanthropist of
the company asserted himself. He had
been trying Gin vain to read his morning
paper ever Since he started from home.
Allow me, madam, he said, blandly;
Il am father myself, and I will be happy
to chastise your cherub in behalf of his
absent parent
'Oh, no you won't, not if I know itr'
said Johnnys mother, rising in her wrath
like a tigress. There amt that man liv-
ing dare lay a finger on that boy-his own
father or any other ugly old catamount
who thinks he knows it ALL" and she eff
feetually shut off debate by going into
the next car and taking the sweet infant
with her.

The Armless sleeve.

PITY me, gentlemen he said, as he
stood at the corner of Spring and High
streets, one empty sleeve Topping in the
breeze, says the Columbus Dispatch. Near
by stood a policeman swinging his club
but furtively watching the speaker.
PITY me, gentlemen. Just twenty-seven
years ago l lost my arm here in a steam
boat explosion. I've had tough luck ever
since Wife dead, baby dead. NO hope no

AT this juncture several benevolent gem

1t is said Gen. Maxine Gomez, leader of
the Cuban insurgents, has been laughing
over proposition made to him to unite
with the Spaniards and lick the people of
the United States, after which the Cubans
and the spaniards could resume their lit
tie unpleasantness and perhaps come to
an easier settlement of it. 1t is rather
doubtful that such a proposition was
ever made, but il 1t was. considering the
attitude of the administration, Gen. Co
mez would be about the last man to con-
slider it. The Cuban situation has in
deed been productive of some remarkable
stories.

Getting out of n Tight Pace.

1t is a serious offense for a German SOL
der TO appear in public except in uniform,
even when on furlough, says the Weekly
Telegraph. A certain lieutenant. who was
engaged in some adventure or other, dress
ed up as a civilian, was having a fine time
of II when he Unexpectedly met his colo
mel. He did not, however, lose his pres
ence of mind. He walked right up to the
colonel. and in a changed voice asked:
"Can you tell me, sir. where Lieut..
Schmidt lives? I am his brother, and
wish to pay him a little visit" The colo
mel gave the desired information, and the
lieutenant hurried home and got into his
uniform. He thought he had deceived his
superior officer, but next day when he met
his colonel the latter said Lieut.
Schmidt il your brother pays you anoth-
err visit. I shall have him placed In close
confinement for thirty days.

the picture of Judge G. D. Camden, Mrs.
Camden's deceased husband whose name
