rIDY UP THE Town.


Now is the Time for n General
Brighteningo of Waste Places.
Public and private enterprise de
mands that a timely observance be
given the matter of fixing up, re-
pairing and painting of buildings
and fences along the residence
streets and the sowing of grass
seeds on vacant lots adjoining main
travelled streets. A general tidy
ing up of the town is greatly need
ed, and the springtime is the seas
on for this work.
The neatness and taste displayed
by our citizens in the keeping of
their lawns, the ornamentation of
their door-yards with. shrubs and
roses, the keeping down of weeds
and correcting of every feature of
careIessness and neglect about
streets or lots will add greatly to
the appearance of the city.
1t would cost the city but a small
amount to have all the weed patch
es along the main travelled streets
throughout the business and resi-
dence portions of the city turned
into nice green swards. This
change can be made in a few weeks,
time by the sowing of white clover
seed on the bare ground, there
being no cultivation needed. An
expense of MOTTO exceed % cents
in white clover seed will be suffi-
Gent for sowing an acre of these
unsightly places along sidewalks
and vacant lots.
The time to do this work is just
as soon as spring fairly opens up.
The early spring. showers are all
that are necessary to give the plant
a start, and it will then crowd out
the unsightly weeds. White clio
yer has no equal as a sure and,
quick grower. tits not the most
desirable lawn grass where finely
kept lawns are the ambition, but
as a beautifyer of waste ground and
neglected streets and roadways
there is nothing that will excel
white clover.

ST Patrick, the Apostle of the Emerald Isle;
Let US contemplate thy labors for short time,
Although dstant from Erin, three thousand miles
Thy sons revere thy name every cline.
Whilst herding cattle on the Emerald mountains
Our Saviour prepared thee TO open the fountains,
Of grace that leads in the true and only way,
This is why we celebrate St Patricks day.
OH glorious Apostle we revere thy name,
And honor the virtues that gave thee fame;
Who caused the Druids that ruled with an iron rod,
Tobow before the shrine of the living God.
Thy sons are scattered all over the earth,
But eyerremember the day of thy birth;
This will continue on through ages,
Thy name will be written on history pages
Saviour chooses the meek and humble out
His will,
of this great Saint His mission did fulfill
To carry His word to the four of the earth,
This is why we celebrate this great Saints BIRTH
What earthly glory can compare with thine,
Thy deeds will live while the stars doth shine;
Brighter still brighter time rolls by,
We hope to meet thee beyond the sky.
ST. Patrick and our fathers who have gone to ADORE
Our heavenly Father on the celestial shore,
Where we meet loved ones gone from this earth,
This swhy celebrate this Saints birth.

QUEEN REGENT AFRAID TO
MOVE

A dispatch from Madrid says: "The
government does not consider it pru-
dent to let the Queen Regent take hel
children to San Sebastian for months
holiday, because the civil and military
authorities in the north of Spain state
they cannot guarantee that the Carlists
will not breIk out soon. The real
truth in tie case is that Don Carlos
knows if he loses the present opportu
nifty to make one more struggle for the
throne he is never likely to find another
under such favorable circumstances.
Fears of the displeasure of European
courts and governments and the Pope
holds him back, while, on the Other
hand, his wife and his son, Don Jaime,
push him to act. Don Carlos'5 partisans
in Spain assure him that they have
men, money and arms to support him,
even in the provinces among classes
where, in the last civil wars, neither be
nor his grandfather, the first pretender
ever commanded support. This is es-
pecially the case in the army, where
the Carlists have now really been
promised powerful assistance even
among generals. This Carlist danger
excites much interest in Spain.
