Immediately surrounding communities.
The fame of the parks Is worldwide
among persons interested in the i'm
provement of cities and the betterment
of daily living under the stress of
modern congestion of population.
Few outsiders, and, for that matter.
not all Bostonians know how fully the
park system enters into the lie of the
people. The splendid outlying sections
such as the once marshy and unhea lthy
Back Bay fens, beautfled by Frederick
Law Olmsted, are often enough visited,
but such open spaces as the great
North End playground, to take a single
noteworthy example are infrequently
noticed. Yet one of the most interest
ing phases Of the Development of the
park system is the availability of these
pleasure grounds. There is no part of
modern Boston in which some part of
the system may not be reached by a
few minutes walk, Like the baths and
gymnasia, the parks are literally main
tanned by all the people, rich and poor
alike, for all the people.

single class, but to all classes, and
the people who patronize them come

In its endeavors to promote the
health and happiness of its people the
city has added to its park system until
it is one of the most extensive in the
world From a meager as acres in 1869
it has grown until it includes today
about 1854 acres. These parks, man
aged by the city for the use of it's citi-
zens, are closely connected with the
5000 and more acres of parks and res

all OF them now reaches yearly figure
Of nearly 5000. 000 Some Of the baths
are open during the whole year, while
others situated on the water front or
along the rivers are used only during
the summer. There are hardy Bosto-
mans who take a daily punga in the
waters Of the bay when, during the
winter months, cakes Of ice are tossed
about by the waves.
Many Of the baths are provided with
gymnasium facilities, and, day after
day, are througed with alternate
classes OF men and women Of all ages,
working under the supervision of
trained physical directors. Free swim

Schleswig- -Holstein, and was forcibly
separated from her by Duke Ernst
Guenther. as head of the house.
The separation was effected by Frau

raised She cannot, however, proceed
against Duke Ernst Guenther, who is
the brother of the German empress,
without the kaiser's sanction.
She now intends to appeal to the SUI

TO REBEL AGAINST WHITES
Negro Uprising and Revolt Is Only
Question of Time In
Africa
Special Gable to The Herald.

BERLIN, Aug. 26.-Dr. Karl Peters.
back from tour of South Africa, says
he has come to the conclusion that a
negro rebellion against white rule in
Africa is only question of time. The
Ethiopian movement in particular, has
been greatly strengthened during the
present year, and its adherents already
possess six daily papers, in which
hatred against the whites is assidu-
ously preached to the Kaffirs.
DR.. Peters does not believe that the
dream of the Afrikanders to constitute
a United States of South Africa will
ever be realized, on the ground that
South Africa cannot nourish itself, and
will also always be dependent on Euro
pean capital.

Bones Shown in a Murder Trial.
While the jury was perspiring over
the solution of personal injury case
lawyers and Judge fell to talking over
what an expert knew and what he
didn't know about anatomy.
What some of 'em don't know
would fill a half dozen Carnegie IL
braries," remarked A. D. Risdom, one
of the veterans Of the bar. Some years
ago, when 1 happened to be the state
of Missouri in these parts, the sherin
brought to Kirkville one Jim Mays
of Morrow township for numbering
pedler up his way. Jim wasn't ex-
actly an angel and at first glance II
looked like they had settled on him
for the guilty party on general prin-
ciples.
"The pedler had suddenly disap-
peared from Jim's neighborhood, and
of course, Jim killed him, they said,
There were vague rumors Of another
man having met a like fate at Jim's
hands. and as the suspect didn't go
to meetin' and wash his face every
day It looked like a ready made case,
only waiting the rope. Jim swore by
all the gods he knew he hadn't killed
any pedler, but Of course man Will
talk wild when 1t is to his interest.
II gently hinted to the irate COM
munity that a little more evidence
would be appreciated, not necessarily
for publication, but as sort Of guar
antee of sincerity. About that time
word came to me that a certain fell
low had heard a confession from Jim,
after seeing him burn the pedler's
body. / went up into the township
and had a talk with this very impor-
tant witness. He said Jim conflded
to him that he had killed the pedler
for having tried to cheat him and
that he began burning the body one
day and stayed with 1t all night till
everything was consumed but the
bones.
'I gathered up a basket Of the
bones and brought 'em to town. The
doctors here said they had once been
the skeleton of a man. The grand
Jury insisted on returning an indict-
ment. but / got them to hold on for
a day or two / sent two Of the bones
to physicians in Chicago whom 1 was
personally acquainted with, and re-
lated the circumstances. In due
course the box came back and /
opened it before the jury. Inside
was report. 1t said in Latin where
they belonged on a horse, with the
added opinion that it was scrub.
Jim begged the bones Of us and
and sent them around to the doctors
who declared they were of human
origin, with a note Of congratulation.
I didn't blame him much, as their
opinion might have cost him his life.
Two years later the pedler came back
to this county, and I told him what
had happened. He said he was ex-
tremely sorry, and that If his conduct
had made Jim's wife a widow he
would give her a couple Of the best
black bordered handkerchiefs he had
IN his pack."-Kansas City Star.
