Mr.. StutIer asks for $458,500 for

of the city and the increased use of

No city can be really beautiful

ever striving to keep it looking spiek

Mr.. Warner Stutler, Superinten-
dent Of the reet-Cleaning Depart

operations during the past fiscal year,
and the report indicates that as much
as possible has been accomplished by
the money set aside for the purpose.

TIE FAIREST SPOT.
p : E KISER

One who had Travelled far and seen
The lands that poets praise,
Who knew the hills and plains Of France
And EngIand's aowery ways,
Who through the Old World and the
New
Had passed with wondering eyes.
Stopped where toiler stood. one day,
And heard his pensive signs.
The scene that spread before them
there
Had naught to give delight;
There were no lovely wales. no streams
Nor snowy peaks in sight;
They saw no ships with white sails
spread,
Ncr gazed at fruitful plains;
The fields were small and poor and
bare.
No flowers lined the lanes
He that had seen Yosemite
And journeyed down the Rhine,
Who had beheld the snow upon
The tallest Age mime,
Spoke Of wonders OF the world;
The other shook his head;
Here is the fairest scene of all
The world contains" he said
But here the traveller exclaimed,
rs neither lofty height
Nor ancient C site that may once
Have housed q gallant knight;
Here Is no spIoT did waterfall,
No rich plain spreads away
Yet here is laid the fairest scene
In all the world, you say?'
Here IS the fairest scene of ali.
The simple one replied.
And pointed 10 a cottage where
Poor vines crawled uD the side
There are no castles here; the fields
Are small and poor and bare,
Yet here IS earth's most lovely spot
The one I love Is there"

WOMAN.
By LEIGH MITCHELL HODGES

The earth had been made. and man had
been made
But somehow it lacRsd in the t,loomfn'.
TIL the God OF the good to whom ages
have prayed,
Turned il into a garden with woman.
He butlded her fair like a lily of white,
And with love did ne perfume her be-
ing
And if through her did come the first
shade of night.
Ever since by her light we've been
seeing
For you know that q new wick gives no
light at all.
Till it's blackened and trimmed with
the shears.
So perhaps that is Why she has bright
ened this ball
Through all of its varying years.
And I think it is sweet at the close OF
life's day,
When We part hands with all that is
human.
To be led to the light at the end OF the
way
As it ever has been-by the woman.
