BEAUTIFYlNG TOWNS.
Every Citizen Should Take n Hand
In the Work.

In the matter of cleanliness and tidi-
ness Of town there is room for every
member of the community to cooper
ate. 1t ought not to be left to the care
Of an occasional energetic reformcr. A
large proportion of the people of town
own their homes, but even those who
rent dwellings ought to take pride in
keeping their grounds in handsome
shape The complaint is often made
that children reared in rented rooms
are lacking in the respect fer homes
that is inculcated from childhood in
those who enjoy the advantage of be-
ing brought up in home of their own.
The modern American child, 1t Is
said, is allowed to defacc walls or mu-
tilate turf at his sweet will. and land
lords are cOrrcspondingly suspicious
and rcsentful of the presence of chill
dren in family. There Is grain or
truth in the charge, and parents ought
to make special effort to make good
the lack by careful teaching and, it
may be added, by practice as well as
by prccept.
In matters of taste woman is easily
supreme and the various organizations
of women. like the wOmcn's club, the
teachers club, etc, might we'll devote
some part of their time to problems or
improving their town, adding the fine
flower of good taste to the sturdy stem
of material bctterment. The beauty of
town Is often made up of millions or
LITTLE things poch one of no great mo-
ment in itself.

and says:
1.-THE present tendency of the youn-

in considerable part to Il sense of social

at is quite evident. therefore, that
if the young people are to be kept in
the towns and villages something must
be done to improve their social sur

and met wholesomely and as complete
ly as possible. At the same time such
an effort, properly carried out, is GER

TOWN BOOM TIPS.
Some Pointers That May Aid Your
Town to Grow.

Town to Grow.
A live public spirit manifested by the
citizens Of a town for its benefit is
very strong factor in the question Of
town improvement. When this sign
Of enterprise is thoroughly alive, the
general appearance of the streets, con-
dition of the homes and grounds about
them will show the fruits thereof.
When stranger first enters town
clean streets attract his attention and
we'll kept lawns and yards favorably
impress him, and should his town be
backward in this respect he is liable to
change his residence.
A nuisance that should be suppressed
in every town is the number of home
less ours that are allowed to roam at
large and are menace In more ways
than one and entirely useless. If they
were shot down, the community would
be greatly benefited.
Small parks for the public should be
maintained by the town. They are
benefit from the standpoint of health
and tend to beautify the general ap-
pearance of any place.
The population Of Michigan town
increased over 300 people in 1901 owing
to its clean streets and we'll swept
front and back yards. Clean towns are
bound to grow.
In pretty little town in Texas per-
son littering the streets with paper or
garbage is called down" in such way
that he seldom repeats the offense.
The citizens of that town take great
pride in keeping it clean and are being
rewarded for the trouble they take in
the matter, as the population is increas-
ing and real estate advancing in price.

The best way to fasten plaster work
Is with screws. The ornament should
be so made that screws can be used;
otherwise it should be nailed In the
most convenient places and Jumps OF

Philosophy Of Fatigue.

"Some may be interested to know
that there is now almost new kind
of philosophy of fatigue" says writer
in Ainslee's. "Some spectators think
man became conscious because his in
tuitions were slowed up by exhaustion,
so that the mind has to pick its way
slowly and logically instead Of divining
instantly, as it used to do. 1t was the
fall Of man. Wilder dreamers have
even described the origin of cosmic gas
and nebul9, from which all the worlds
come, as due to progressive fatigue of
the ether, which is far more subtle and
back of it. 1t is little as If they were
attempting to rewrite the first phrases
of the Old Testament so that it should
read, In the beginning was fatigue"

PINGPoNG POINTERS.
How to Play This Fascinating New


How to Play This Fascinating New
Game.
Remember always" says a writer
in the Great Round World, explaining
the principles of pingpong, ''that the
service must be underhand from a
racket must be held below the waist
After the service the racket may be
used from any position.
"At the start remember that the bail
should usually be sent as close to the
top of the net as possible. 1t is better
to send it into the net for time than
to play it in such parabolas that it
will bound high and enable your op-
ponent to smash it. Vary your serv-
ice so that the ball will land in differ
ent parts of the opposite court at diff
ferent speeds and always endeavor to
place the ball where your opponent
will find it hardest to return it.
"By giving the racket a sharp pull
upward as it strikes the ball a spin
may be impaired which will make the
ball drop more rapidly than it would
otherwise. This enables a swifter
stroke and lessons the height of the
bound. By cutting under the ball it
also loses its velocity more quickly;
but this stroke is not SO swift as the
other. Cutting the ball to one side
makes it bound in the direction oppo-
site to the cut. A variety of strokes
and cuts often proves disconcerting to
an adversary and increases his diff
Guilty in returning the ball effectively.
"In general the best ball is placed
with as much force as is safe near the
back edge of the opponents court. A
short ball just over the net is often
useful, however, and especially when
your opponent is standing well back.
Play against your opponents motions
as much as you can. If he is moving
his racket or body toward one side,
try to play to the other side. If he is
moving back, play just over the net
and vice versa. This will compel him
to change his direction and prevent
him from continuing steady motion
toward the ball.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1902-07-17

four rooms above the store at Ladrone,
this girl who was delighting fashion
able eastern folks and who could have
her picture cover the whole page of a
paper! Dalton did not know that Miss
Hardin had paid $25 for that frontis-
piece nor that at this very moment she
was sitting in her room at a cheap
boarding house figuring on the sum-
mer's expenses, the cost of new frocks,
photographs and advertising. She
would not clear So, and then what
Another winter in a New York school
room with fifty east side children.
Half an hour later he found her and
sent up his card, written by a man who
had stand on the corner.
Miss Hardin was startled. In flash
she recalled the name, the Twiggins
school and the correspondence. Would
he have ON leather "chaps," spurs and
belt full of revolvers? She entered
the parlor with some trepidation. A
tall, square shouldered man, well
groomed and clad in dark blue serge,
rose to greet her. She almost laughed
at her recent misgivings, and the
thought brought pretty flush to her
cheeks, new light to her tired eyes.
He never knew just how he managed
it, but that night Dalton escorted her
home from the concert. She wore the
marvellous dress he had seen in the pic
ture, and she gathered it up daintily as
they walked in the moonlight. He felt
as if some explanation of his presence
were due, and finally he plunged into
it.
"You see, Miss Hardin, I thought
perhaps you'd change your mind about
the school if 1 just could talk to you.
Perhaps you'd like to come out next
summer anyhow. I've always pictured
you SO sort of different, but now of
course understand. You wouldn't like
1t out there no matter how much we
might want you"
He was looking down at the chiffon
ruffie on her gown, which billowed like
white foam around her feet. An odd
smile trembled on her lips; something
very like tear shone in her eye. She
had read his thought as in an open
book.
perhaps you are mistaken, Mr..
Dalton. I think would like Colorado,
and if the position is open next sum-
mer may come"
They were passing through a small
grove. Dalton stopped short and gazed
into her face.

course it will always be open for your

next summer is long way offy'
Elizabeth sighed softly, and a far
away look came into her eyes as if she
were seeming the keen mountain air
and the Colorado pines.
Eyes, long, long wayv
Then Dalton forgot her picture in the
paper-forgot the imposing frock. He
remembered only the little gray note
signed Faithfully yours, Elizabeth
Hardin"-and the sigh.
What happened next is not herein
set forth, but western men are noto-
rious for acting promptly.
This summer another elocutionist de-
lighted the visitors at Mount Clement,
and her picture adorned the first page
of the Mount Clement Educator, but in
