Modern Idea Of CITY Parks.

The modern idea as to the Ideal
municipal park which now seems to
prevail pretty much all over the civ
ilized world is that of the so-called
natural landscape garden. A bit Of
country transported to the heart OF
the city and set down amidst the
bricks and mortar and cobblestones,
where the busy man, tied down" to
his desk most of the summer, can get
breif whiff of the country morning
and evening on his way to and from
business. Where also the city gamin
can veiw little section of that fab
led outside world to which, if he is
fortunate, some fresh air fund may
sometime transport him for a week
in Utopia. his is the modern idea of
park and IL is a thoroughly good
one.-New York Globe.

Quite different things she took,

Not then. it seems, was she content;
For last of all, she took-his name.

the nomination for attorney general
on the social democratic ticket,
Richard Elsner used the following
language:
In making the statement in COM
pliance with aforesaid law, l desire
to say that I did not have any ex.
penses whatever in respect to such
nomination; that | consider it very
unwise, unpatriotic and even dis
