HIS MOTHERS TRAINING.
Why Roland Was the Kind of Boy
the Merchant wanted.


Roland stopped and looked at the
sign, boy Wanted"
1t hung outside large cutlery estab-
lishment next to q store where there
had been big fire. He had made up
his mind that he was old enough to
look for work and try to relieve moth
er. Should he go in? He hesitated,
then, with all the courage he could
command, went inside. He was sent
back to a room where men ,on high
stools were writing in big books, too
busy to notice him, but tall gentle
man did and questioned him so fast he
could hardly answer.
What kind of work do you expect to
do? Don't know? Most boys do. Never
worked out before? Suppose you think
it's all play. Well" pointing to some
steps, "go down there, and the man at
the foot will tell you what to do"
Roland went down and found half a
dozen boys at work, with their sleeves
rolled up, cleaning and polishing
knives. The man at the foot of the
steps looked up and said:
Come to try your hand? Well, three
have just LEFT in disgust. Doesn't seem
to be boys work somehow, but it's got
to be done. You see," he said, picking
up some knives and scissors and show
ing spots of rust on them, "the water
that saved our building the other night
injured some of our finest goods. If
you want to try your hand at cleaning,
I'll show you how. We pay by the
dozen"
Tisn't fair" said one of the boys.
Some have more rust on than Others"
eff you don't like our terms, you
needn't work for u.s." said the foreman,
and the boy, muttering that he wanted
to be errand boy and see something of
life, left, while Roland went to work
with will. As he finished each piece
he held it up, examined it critically ant
wondered if mother would think it we'll
done. When the hour for closing came,
the gentleman who had sent him down
stairs appeared and, looking round at
the boys, said:
"Wellw
There is the boy we want" said the
foreman, pointing to Roland. "He will
take pride in doing anything you give
him to do. He has been we'll trained"
Again the tall man spoke quickly.
That's what we want. Boy wanted
doesn't mean any kind of boy. Mother
know you came? No? Well, take her
your first wages and tell her there's a
place open to you here. Then put your
arms around her neck and thank her
for teaching you to be thorough. If
more boys We're thorough, more boys
would succeed in life"
II guess, mother" said Roland when
he told her about it, sit was because l
tried to do everything as you would
like it. l forgot l was doing it because
there was a boy wanted Sunday

GREEN SPOTS IN CITIES.
Important Influence They Have on
Many Phases of Life.

Ntuhy fnuses Oh Lie.
The most noteworthy development of
any art in recent times in our country
is the growth of landscape architec-
ture. Within easy memory it has pass
ed from private to public recognition,
and men of middle age can readily re-
call the time when formal lawn plots
amid rigid tree settings were regarded
as the best Offering of the landscape
architect.
Now we take our magnificent public
parks as matter of course. We keen
ly appreciate them. In fact, we could
not get along without them. But all
this fast growing public interest in
landscape architecture is develop
ment of the last half century. 1t began
with individual owners of estates and
extended gradually to the people. 1t
was long an aristocratic art, but the
democratic appreciation of it has open
ed up the possibilities of a complete
development, and it now perhaps de-
serves to be called in sense that no
other art does the peculiarly democrat
&c and American art.
There is nothing in which our cities
take more pride. Go to any city or
town you will, and you will discover
that the park plays an important part
In the life and enjoyment of the people
of all classes. 1t will be many a gener-
alton before the whole continental area
will present a continuous succession Of
parks and gardens, but the impulse has
already become so general as to war
rant the expectation that the time Will
come when no other large area of the
earths surface will present such va
ried and beautiful aspects. Men are at
work in many places, as in the Arnold
arboretum in Boston. A visitor ex-
pressed his admiration of the hills of
trees. "Not yet not yet" landscape
artist replied. Come here hundred
years hence, and you will see the plan
worked out. Then it will be beautiful"

GOOD GOVERNMENT,
Partisan Politics the Zane of the
Modern city.

The tendency to demand that the
business of our cities as corporate gov
ernments be managed "by business
men on business principles" is signif-
cant. We recognize the advent of the
type of reforming mayor who as a
business man plans to manage the adj
ministration of the city on the basis
of careful estimates, open bookkeep-
ing. individual responsibility, with the
head of each department for good re-
suits in his own domain, and rigid
eye to low tax rate, and this type
of administration has many of the
marks of the ideal city government
But how are we to secure the choice
year after year of such honest men
Does not experience prove that with
us in America our cities lapse from
the rule of such mayor into the con-
troll of the party's boss" or of the
combination ring" the product of a
deal between the rascals and bosses
In both the parties? Only at intervals
of five or ten years, when abuses be-
come intolerable, do the majority of
all the voters rouse themselves i q
sense of civic righteousness and, after
q strenuous campaign, drive out the
rascals" and begin again with an hon
est government.
Is there no way of keeping the gov
eminent good in our cities? We seem
to need perpetually in our city affairs
men of the type of the one idea re-
former at the beginning of the French
revolution, to whom Carlyle loved to
refer, who for an hour necessarily re-
peated in the convention the iterant
cry, "Je demand L arrestation DIES
coquins ct deslachesv II call for the
arrest of the knaves and dastards."
After ALL the men of unclean politics
are morally dastards, essentially cow
ards! When the light is let in on
them by bold men, who turn over the
dank and rotten planks in the mre of
our city governments which hide these
foul workers in the dark, they scuttle
and writhe away as do other unseem-
ly creatures which hate Gods sun
shine of truth and honesty. But there
must be good citizens constantly ION
duty" to expose and drive away these
parasites of partisanship in municipal
affairs.-Merrill e. Gates.
