interest in the clean street movement.
his front lawn being SO situated that
the draft of the wind down the alley
covered 1t with all the waste paper
that happened to be lying around
loose-and there usually happened to
be plenty.
The householder In question knew
that most Of the litter came from
the alley. but although he kept a
careful watch from his back windows
he could never fix the responsibility
on any of the neighbors; indeed, he
often found the alley far cleaner than
his lawn. But the waste paper still
came, and the citizen grew daily more
furious and his opinion of people who
threw out paper to blow whithersoever
the wind listed was expressed in some
of the most forcible and unvarnished
Ang1o-Saxon that the language affords.
Nor did his language exaggerate his
sentiments.
One morning the citizen went out
and found much about the usual thing,
only more of 1t, and, picking up a
dusty. sun-yellowed envelope, he
noted that 1t was addressed to a
prominent resident of an adjoining
avenue. There were other envelopes
and these were also without exception
addressed to the same person. A
battered shirt-waist box. half full of
excelsior. lay close at hand. This, the
citizen discovered. was addressed to
the wife Of the prominent resident.
