For the Advertiser and Gazette

Swallowed and grey with wealth of
forest trees,
Bending their branches to the strf-

Graded afar off on the purpled
deeps,
Leads to the valley where the trailing

Fragile and thin as gossamer are
Around the turrets, and float and

With hurried lips. by wandering sun
beams kissed
Upon the shining foreheads of the
hills.
Begirt with halos tipped with iris
Resonant with the voices of the
streams,
And low. sweet echoes of a thousand
rills.
Between the hills that pierce the azure
air.
The valley lies with balmy woods
enshrined.
With ferns and grasses winnowed nv
the VIVA.
And lofty spires bedraped with maid
en-hair
Like wandering islands float above the
haze,
And seas of pearl that fnundate the
vale,
Rising and falling in the gentle gale,
Concealing all the fOwer-gemmed
forest ways,
AS by the wave of some magician's
hand
The clouds and vapors from the hills
are rolled:
What dream is this? The Paradise
of old,
A glimpse vouchsafed us of the Prom
ised Land!
Embattled sleeps from pinnacle to base
O'erburdened with a garniture or
flowers;
White streams adow them drip in
shining showers,
In shattered foam Of liquid chryso-
praise.
Heavenward points the Needles taper

A monument of prehistoric days,
When all the valley was tangled
Of blood-red pits and rushing streams
of fire.
Now wavering lancets of the sunlight

Through thick-ribbed rafters of the
eddying leaves.
Where gorgeous blossoms climb the
forest caves,
STEPPED in the glamour of green /
eclipse.

BEAU NASH.

au-Nash-Richard Nash he was
christened-was one of the oldest fig
ures in fashionable England during
the last century. In 1904 Nash was
created Master of Ceremonies in Bath,
and, under his vigorous rule society
before then disorganized-was forced
to walk the chalk line of etiquette.
When the Princess Amelia pleaded for
one dance more after II o'clock Nash
politely informed her that the laws of
Bath were unalterable as those of Ly-
curgus; when the Duchess of Queens
berry appeared at a ball in a point
lace apron, worth 500 guineas, he re-
spectfully united it and threw it to
waiting woman. Such social despotism
won him the title of the King of Bath
and he kept appropriate state. Nash
was born in 1874 and was educated at
Oxford. During the latter part of his
life he lived largely upon the earnings
of the gambling table, although he re-
ceived a pension from the town of
Bath, which owed much Of its prosper
ity TO his efforts.

peared in the inaugural parade. The
very urchins in the streets vociferated
potatoes" at him. And he liked 1t,
too.
But the potato patch scheme does
not stop at the soliciting of land from
it's owners. Mr.. Pingree has recon-
mended that the city buy land ADA
cent to Detroit and have it fenced and
provided with inexpensive storehouses
for tools, seeds, ETC., with an intelll-
gent overseer or superintendent. Then
the work which is now spread over SIX
weeks could be done in week, and the
entire issue of lots and seeds confined
to one day. As the city grows to these
municipal farms. they could be con-
verted into parks and land further out
secured for the potato patch idea.

vest OF potatoes, beans, cabbage and

The next year the city treasury as
sisted. The success of 1894 was repeat
ed in 1895 and again in 1896. But while
/ in 1894 the entire cost was met by vol
untary contributions. those of 1895 and
1896 were paid for by the city, $4,000
having been placed in the estimates for
these years.
And well it paid. The entire sum
thus far expended for the potato
patches reaches nearly 1000, while
the retail market value of the crops
at the time they were used is estimated
at the goodly sum of $50. 900 over and
above the cost And it is now thought
that if the Pingree plan of giving peo-
pie a chance to earn their own living
had not been in operation, at least $50
900 would have been necessary to be
contributed from public and private
sources to stave off actual starvation,
while now the poor earn enough to
make them comfortable and keep them
off the streets.
Plans for the present year are we'll
under way, and these are much more
ambitious than anything heretofore
attempted Mayor Pingree estimates
that there are at least 5000 acres of
arabic land within the city's limits
which can be utilized, to say nothing
OF the other thousands in the suburbs.
The part which the Salvation Army
will take in the work will be to hunt
out and solicit the use of good vacant
lots They will see to it that the plow-
ing is we'll done with the money appro-
priated bv the city and by private con-
tribution. They will distribute the
seed and keep account of the seeding;
and will see to it that each family does
its allotted amount of cultivation.
They. in return, are at liberty-in-
deed. are expected-to bring their us
ual salvation methods into the potato
patches and TO convert the people to
the music of the plowshare and the tap
OF the hoe.
Songs are being selected for the use
OF the farmers" and you may expect
TO hear musical adaptations of Pull

Bearer" made applicable and local 70

No business operation has ever sue
ceeded better than the ''Pingree potato
patch plan" No other way of enabling
people TO earn their own living has at
tracted such widespread and universal
notice. 1t has called the attention of
the civilized world TO a great economic
truth: that the poor of the cities are
not poor from choice or from disincli-
nation TO work. but from the impos-
sibility of getting employment: that
they willingly undergo a hard and I'M
usual toil-the hoeing of broken soil
TO earn living, and further. that much
of the want that now requires great
appropriations TO poor commissions TO
alleviate would never exist if people
had at all times free access to the soil.

dentaIIy They Made Some
Money.

The success which has attended the
operation of Mayor. now Governor,
Pfngree's Poor Peoples Potato Patch
Plan" as ii was fecitiously called, sur
prised even the sanguine philanthropy
lists of Detroit. The scheme has now
come TO be well known. A late San
Jose Mercury gives the following ac=
count of the financial end of it:
DETROIT. Mich, April 1.-THE Pin
gree potato patch scheme is still
marching on. This is literally true;
for this season the Mayor-Governor of
Michigan has called to his aid the Sal
walton Army to cooperate with his po-
tato patch. They were hot to do so,
and the novel spectacle of potatoes and
salvation will be seen and heard in
Detroit's vacant lots.
The potato patch, to those who have
only heard the name, without knowing
the facts, sounds wild and chimerical,
ii not absolutely foolish. But those
who come to Detroit to ridicule it re-
main to admire. Many have gone
away, leaving subscriptions for the
potato patch plan"
Like all Western cities, Detroit has
in its boundaries much vacant land.
Acre after acre has been planted, which
in all probability, will not be built up
on for years, for the desires OF the land
spectators have outstripped the
growth of the city. 1t was in the spring
of 1894 that Mr.. Pingree first cast long
ing glances on these unused acres, and,
grasping the idea that if only the idle
people and this idle land could be
brought together, the city's poor fund,
at least, would be spared, he appealed
10 the land owners for land and to
others for voluntary contributions, in
order TO buy seed and pillow the ground.
The plan worked and the poor pee
pie took hold. Though the planting
was late, rains at just the right time

sunshine. made about 400 acres-here-

truth, but only half the truth. Tor Wall

George Ills first, second, third and
fourth sons were respectively the Prince
Of Wales, afterward George Nv, who

Of his marriage with Princess Victoria
of Leiningen baby daughter, now
Queen Victoria. The queen succeeded
William Nv not because she was simply
his niece, but because she was the only
child of the brother next to him in the
order of succession.
Had Queen Victoria had q brother
she would in all probability not have

save in the contingency Of succeeding
him. Her rights were those that de-
