GRUNTS FROM A GROWER.

0id Song.
I'm THE MATTER OF SIDEWALKS.
or course we are highly intelligent
and progressive people. I would
not think for moment of denying
that. But in some things we exhibit
about as much common sense as q
superannuaied bird's.nest.
Take the subject of sidewalks for
example: Theoretically, suppose
sidewalks are built for the sccommo.
dation of pedestrians. Practically,
however. they merely serve to harrass
them, purely from lack Of reason in
their construction and main tsinance.
During the rainy season in this sec.
ton one goes out and gets his feet
wet, and growls because Of the rain,
when the sidewalks are to blame ;
thus do we roar 1t Providence, while
We ourselves are At fault.
II 10 strange why we will build side.
walks water tight, slightly concave
and OF wide boards, 90 that we will
have an artificial lake to walk in
whenever it rains, and then kick about
the rainfall.
1t would seem as though anybody
could see the immense advantage in
using narrow lumber, placed q short
distance apart. Not only will the
dust and water 60 through, but the
saving 10 lumber is q consideration of
some importance.
Besides the narrow boards will not
curl up. like chunk OF tan-bark, and
force the public to do . hurdle race to
get oyer it. Of course We OCCASIONAL y
get knocked end-over-end by q bicycle,
but that is Of minor importance, it ia
not continuous. like the other evils,
but the half has not been told.
We build q sidewalk twelve feet
vide, because we consider that width
10 be necessary for the accommoda-
ton of the populace. Then We pro-
coed to show few more signs OF ASST
ninity, by allowing . peanut roaster
on one side and bicycle rack on the
other; this reduces the space available
TO the public to about four feet.
There is some excuse for the bicycle
rack. 90 it is public convenience, but
there are too many Of them. This ID
accounted for by the fact OF their II.

vertiser.
II the municipality received rent for
the advertising space, same ~ . news.
paper, or storage for peanut roasters,
AZ warehouse company would get
for the same service, there would be
no objection, but believe such is not
the case.
In some cities there 10 an ordinance
against expectorating upon the eide
walks. This 10 . reform worthy oil
imitation. Why mon should be
guilty OF such beastiality, IL 10 hard "a
account for. and any measure for III
abatement should be- given oil possible
encouragement and support.
The stone, or cement sidewalks are
as idiotic ~ anything could we'll be
inasmuch - they ara much more
costly than wood and in this climate
for the greater part Of each year, are .
sort of granolithic ioot-bath for the
inhabitants. In fact. they may serve

when they become slippery from con
tinued rains.

SUICIDE AT KELLEY INSTITUTE.

A Mexican Patient, Suffering With
Melancholia, Cut His Throat.
Augustine G. Palacio, a Mexican who
was taking course Of treatment in the
Kelley Institute at Savin Rock, COM
mitted suicide at the institution early
Sunday morning by cutting his throat.
Palacio was thirty one years of age and
his home was In Durango, Mexico. lie
had been at the Kelley Institute sew
eral months and was victim of the
morphine habit, of which he was seek
ing to be cured at the institute.
He had been suffering with melan-
cholia for some time and 1t is thought
that while in that state of mind he
made away with himself. One of the
attendants of the institution entered the
there, lying on the floor in a pool of
blood, a razor tightly grasped in the
hand, he saw the body of Palacio.
There were deep gashes in the throat,
and the jugular vein had been severed.
The cuts were on both sides of the
throat.
A telegram was sent to the Mexican
consul in New York requesting him to
notify Palacio's relatives. 1t is thought
that he comes of prominent Mexican
family.

declared the missions to be powerful
factor in civilizing native people. To
the second objection, that the heather
religions are good enough, he showed
that Christianity, which combines and
transcends them, should be taught
since 1t is supreme. Finally, to the OBJ
lection that home missions deserve
most attention, the principle of Chris
tianity was adduced that the more you
give out the more you take in, and IL
Illustrations were made showing that
churches that contribute most largely
to foreign missions are found to sup
