Individual Subscrip'

In additions there have been gift; for
one park amounting To nearly s;i,ori.
and so far in 1900 the contributions
have reached S3.II3.5O ty IS, contrib
utors. II of whom gave So, fonr So
aud ~ $40 each.
The result has been. says President
Olin. that there are now - miles Of
drives through parks and along the
lake shore.
The association aims first to keep In
good repair the drives under its control
and to make certain other permanent
improvements within the limits OF
available funds. Last year II macad-
am road a half mile long was built
around wood and bay. This is por-
inally constructed across sand bed.
A trench was dug out and filled up
with clay and topped with three Inches
OF gravel. This is a fair sample Of
some of the work undertaken by the
association. They kept on working on
this particular road until finally
stone driveway costing nearly $500
was built.
close supervision of all the roads
leading out of the city was maintained.
and one after another they were taken
in hand and improved.
During last year there were planted
in the spring 664 deciduous or shade
trees. 100 evergreens. 800 shrubs, all
costing $500. This was followed In the
fall by the planting Of 700 native
shrubs and trees, such as wild crab
apple. choke cherries, elders, sumac.
wild dogwood, etc. The whole of this
fall work was accomplished with the
expenditure of only SlS9.S6. The total
expense of the year in tree planting
was S5S0SG for 2.3S7 trees and shrubs.
The services of o. Z. Simonds Of Grace
land Cemetery association, Chicago,
were made use Of In tree and shrub
planting.
The association accepted the offer of
ID. *. Tenney to give $4,000 for the
purchase and Improvement Of ira,
of land for a park. The city and the
association met the offer, and Tenney
park is now monument to the success
of the undertaking. Several very ilu-
portant pieces Of work have been laid
out and doubtless will be consummat,
ed. These include other park projects
and drive around Monona lake. Tie
cleaning and beautifying Of the streets
Of Madison will also be undertaken.

The young men of today are too fin
icky-too much given to self analysis.
too self pampering. Their shoes and
necktics cost more each year than did
the entire wardrobe of their GRANDPA
Tiers. They feel a sense Of degrade
ton in small beginnings and plodding,
and they wait for success ready ma e
to come to them. There Is not a young
man in the country who would initiate
Ben Franklin and march through the
streets munchlng loaf of bread while
looking for employment. He dare not,
indeed. because society has become al
so tnicky, and he would be arrested as
a tramp. The young man of today
wants capital. He cannot be president
of bank or judge of court the first
week he Is from school, and he feels,
like the famous Ell Pussley, that he
has mo chance. "-Memphis CONNER

PARKS AND DRIVES.
POW wlscoNslN's CAPITAL SECURED
a FINE SYSTEM.

rwenty-nNe Miles OF Fine Roads
Constructed by Private subscrip-
homework OF an Association of
Citizens.
twenty-five miles Of carriage drives
aud bicycle tracks have been built ana
are being maintained by the private
subscriptions Of Madison citizens. In
addition there have been laid out many
parks aud hundreds of shade trees
planted. the whole forming one of the
most successful improvements, the re-
suit of private enterprise, ON record In
the northwest. For this purpose pub
lie spirited citizens have subscribed
aud paid $50. 1891 since the year lSs'2.
The work has all been done under the
auspices of the Madison Park and
Pleasure Drive association. which was
organized April 10, 1899, under the law
passed that year. This association sue
ceeds another organized July III, 1874.
The law under which the association
works is entitled An act for the or
ganization OF corporations TO create
and maintain parks. drives and boule-
wards and hold the same In trust for
certain classes of cities and to receive
gifts and grants therefor and TO enable
such cities To take hold and manage
property for parks, drives and boule-
wards"
The idea of securing drives along the
lakes and parks in and near the city
took definite shape eight years ago.
For the first two years the work was
carried on by citizens committee.
but finally passed into the control of
the associations organized for the pur-
pose. In the bylaws of the association
IL Is provided that in acquiring. open

! payment of $50. Persons contributing

come associate members. but have no
vote save in altering the constitution
and bylaws. Any person contribut-
Ing $500 is made life member. The
association has president, vice presi.

At the annual meeting of the associa.
ton the board of directors selects one OF
its members TO act with the president

Likewise Mistaken,

A small boy was fishing on Sunday
morning. He had basket of fish
alongside of him. A clergyman hap.
pened to see him. and. going over to
where he was busily watching the bob.
said:
"You naughty. cruel boy! Don't you
know that it is a sin to fish on the Sab
bath? Besides the sin, think of the
cruelty of it-taking the poor little
worm out Of the ground and sticking
that nasty sharp hook through It's
body"
THAT amt no worm. That's an ar

CHEAP SPONGES.
Where Those Sold by the Street
FRiSirs Are Procured.

SpOngeS sold by the street fakir are
rather captivating in appearance, large
and almost white. and the price ranges
from ) to 10 cents each. People who
have bought spOnges at a drug store
know that no such looking articles can
be got there for SO little money, and so
they invest. But they don't invest
soon falls to pieces, whereas a good
sponge will last for years.
Somebody started story years ago
that the reason the fakirs could sell
these sponges so cheaply was because
they bought them from the hospitals.
and there are some people who still be-
lieve II. As if men devoting all their
energies and skill to ameliorating the
ills of mankind would spread disease
by distributing old and possibly germ
infected sponges. As a matter of fact
surgeons Sponges are small and
smooth as velvet. being close grained.
The fakirs' sponges are the clippings
off the big spOnges sold to liverymen
and others who need large Sponges.
The parts cut away have little body
and would soon tear loose. The fakirs
buy these bits, trim them into shape
and then give them bath in diluted
muriatic acid. After lying there for Il
hours they are taken out and washed
in clear water and dried. They are
hleached, In other words. but ut still
further detriment to the sponge. New
er of close texture, the mesh Is made
more rotten by the acid and that is
why they soon fall apart. But so far
pure as any sponge bought in the finest
drug store.-Chicago Tribune.
