In the golden age country life was all
that could be demanded even by the
most eXacting critic, and the glorious
fellOwships Of shepherds and shepherd
esses, the COrydons, the Chloes and all
that set, knowing none of the aspira-
telephones and free deliveries, were ex-
ceedingly happy all the time. says the
Chicago Tribune. 1t is not so now.
Country life now has certain awkward
and exasperating disadvantages. Isola-
ton and the want of good means of
communication lie at the root of the
difficulty. Farming is no doubt one Of
the most normal and healthful of occu-
pations. At the same time it is to
certain degree narrowing and deaden-
ing. If 20 the pleasurable and profita-
BILE features of the country there could
be added some of the pleasurable and
profitable features of the city, a great
good would have been accomplished. If,
besides fresh air, good food and excel
lent health, the farmer could have the
libraries. telephones and free deliver
les before mentioned, as well as the
concerts, the lectures, the theaters, the
museums and the constant and easy in
tercourse which are possible in urban
communities, the change in the tone Of
rural life would bring with it impor-
tant and eaching consequences.

There can be no question as to the
necessity of emphatic instruction in
the public school in certain elements
of good citizenship which will go far
toward making and keeping a town
beautiful. The method by which such
instruction can best be given is mat
ter for pedagogical experts to decide,
but it is lit and needful that the public
schools should train the individual in
his relation to public utilities. The
pupil should be thoroughly educated ts
feel that streets, parks, public build
ings. ETC., belong to the people and that
whoever maltreats them is an enemy
of the people. Even the primitive vir-
tues are not without their aesthetic
value, besides being essential to
morals. Those who are trained in hab.
its of cleanliness and neatness will not
tolerate foul streets, and a respect for
public property will be check on van
dalism, even though the beauty of art
be not appreciated. 1t is quite as i'm.
portant for the schools to make good
citizens as to develop individual abili.
ties. and the need for instruction OF
this sort is steadily growing.

NEW WAY TO RAISE MONEY
How the "Picture Club" Helps "a New
England Town.

Five years ago a picture club" was
organized in New England town.
Twelve members, six of each sex. were
era or borrowed one. 1t was agreed
that during the summer each would
take as many photographs of various
spots in the town or it's vicinity as
possible and would try to induce 9TH
ers outside of the club to take pictures,
says Ladies' Home Journal The pho
tographs were to be Of little known
hooks of beauty, familiar spots or
snapshots of people.
On Oct. l all the photographs that
had been taken were handed into the
club. a committee of five was then ap-
pointed to select the best. the names
of the owners of the photographs not
being disclosed to the committee.
The best 100 were selected, made
into slides and an evening selected
when in the town hall the club would
show the pictures on a screen. The ad-
mission was fixed at % cents. When
the evening came, the hall was crowd
ed. The familiar spots took on a new
attractiveness. Little known spots of
natural beauty at the very threshold
of the town were revealed, and well
known citizens and neighbors were
shown in amusing attitudes.
The picture club exhibition" has
now become the event of the season"
in the town. 1t has an element Of fun
as well as inspiration about it and is
so easy of carrying out that the idea
should commend itself to other towns
as a pleasant and profitable method of
entertainment.
The capacity of the hall is taxed.
and as supper is served after the
performance, for which an extra 20
cents is charged, the edibles being con-
tributed, the sum of money raised each
year is always a handsome one. The
money is given to some special town
object.

GRASS AND FLOWERS.
Illinois Central sparing No Expense
to Improve It's Stations.


This year promises to be q record
breaker in floral and plant propagate ton
and the identifying of private ard pub.
lie places in both city and country. The
Illinois Central Railway company has
commenced to build at Champaign, ILL.,,
three immense greenhouses, the object
being to produce flowers for the deco
ration of station grounds and the tables
Of dining cars of the system. says the
Chicago Record Herald. Besides the
greenhouses there will be capacious
nursery, in which will be produced
hardy plants and trees to be used in the
Improvement of company property at
many different stations.
This is one of the most extensive
movements so far inaugurated by the
railroads. 1t is in line with the inno-
walton Of the state normal schools in
establishing departments of floricul-
ture and forestry and the efforts of
many of the larger towns in forming
associations for the identifying of
homes. The Illinois Central people have
appropriated $1,000 TO start the work
at Champaign, and this is to be the be-
ginning of an improvement that will
decorate the grounds of all of the prin-
cipal stations. The decoration of each
station grounds will cost from $50 to
$3.50.
OF the plant to be established at
Champaign each greenhouse will be
q hundred feet long and twenty -one feet
wide and will be equipped with all
modern appliances for the propagation
and preservation of plants. Engineer
Baldwin, in speaking of these improve
ments, said that the company has been
moving in this direction for several
years.
1--WE find that these Improvements
lead to similar movements on the part
of the people at towns where we have
trimmed up station grounds" said the
official. mo sooner do we plant our
grounds in grass and flowers than the
owners of abutting property tidy up
their premises, and soon trains arrive
and depart from stations of pleasing
surroundings. Mr.. Harrahan commence
ed the work on the Louisville division.
The Bloomington division was also
made to bloc" md blossom clear along
the line, I; the new plant at this
place means that we are spreading
out"

Why They Don't GrOM.

"The most l remember about the
town." said traveller when asked
about certain Iowa village. sis that
there were hogs wallowing in the
mudholes in the streets. every house
wanted repainting. and the hitching
posts in front of the stores all leaned
over as If tired out" There are a
good many towns like that in the coun-
try. and yet their inhabitants wonder
why they don't grow faster.

Village Inns Reviving.

The motor car is in the way of bring
ing quite a different class of customer
back to the villages, and the fact is
worth the attention of those who own
the soil. 1t would serve little purpose
to leave it to the village publican him
self, who cannot fairly be expected to
understand what the situation re-
quires. He needs direction, since he
has little or no acquaintance with the
newcomer.

never go deeper I'm their pockets than
their suspender buttons, and when they
have a scheme they expect to call a
public meeting and have 1t put through
with a whOop; work is not in their
bright lexicon. Sometimes the Lord
gives them money-proba bly, as a hor-
rible example to show that money and
happiness aren't absolutely welded.
But when these fellows get money
they put 1t out at interest In another
county and keep the mortgages in Mis-
souri, to escape the assessor.
The question that naturally rises is:
What do they get out of life? Where
are they ahead of the game? Board and

Fortunes in Dry-Goods samples.
From the Youths Companion.

from the Youth 5 companion.
Few people realize the extent of the
sample department Of the modern retail
dry-goods house. Fewer still realize
that when a bolt OF dress goods comes
into the house and Is unpacked, the
first thing done with 1t is to snip off
a full yard for samples. AS much of
this goods is fifty-four inches wide. the
average of one yard to the bolt is low,
as is the price, fixed at IS cents. A
writer I'm the Chicago Tribune makes
the following estimates as to the cost
of samples given away in that city:
Ten big retail dry goods houses in
downtown Chicago send out every
year 220, 900 yards of wooden dress
representing a retail price of rs cents
a yard. and only that an individual
customer may satisfy herself as to
what is being worn. or in one case out
of five, that she may order a dress
pattern from one of these samples.
Eighty thousand yards of silk are
cut into minute triangles, squares and
parallelograms, meaning a retail loss
of $50, 900 a year to these ten stores.
And on top of this, nearly every line
of goods in a house suffers from the
shears of the sample-cutting depart
ment, aggregating in these ten stores
more than $l50,000 a year.
In one of the largest retail stores In
Chicago the time for the sample craze
sets in about the middle of February
for summer goods, and about Sept l
for winter goods. at such times 500
letters a day is a fair average. In this
house the silks. laces and finer goods
generally are cut at the several retail
counters, and cut only on order. For
this purpose sample blanks are sent
down to the salesman, and If other
samples are asked from the samples
cutting room, they are assembled"
from pigeonhole boxes and mailed as
soon as the list is complete.
mo one not in the business knows
Just how hard it is to meet some Of
these requests" said the manager CT
one of the large departments for SAM
ple-cutting. 1T would take an ex-
pert mind reader, working in conjunc-
tion with the owner of the mind, to
find 1t out with any certainty. There
is nothing carried in stock in this
house that we are not asked to cut
samples from. Calls for carpet samples
are frequent, and many times a large
piece has to be cut from the roll in
order to give any idea of the pattern.
Looking at the seeming waste of
CLOTH it seems to be almost too heavy
to be considered, but every year the
territory of the mail order business
is charging, until it has become one
OF tne great factors IN the trade or
every big retail house. Considered as
an established department that must
be kept up. the sample-cutting rooms
are important as advertising centers
Sending a bunch of new goods patterns
TO the ordinary country town. we might
estimate that at least half a dozen
families viii see 1t: and even if not
stimulated, we may suppose that many
a country merchant is reminded of our
jobbing department by these students
of samples"
