IDENTIFYING TOWNS.
WHY LITTLE is KNOWN ABOUT SMALL
SETTLEMENTS.

No Signs by the Roadside Giving
Their Nnmes-How Little Towns
and Villages Can Advertise Them
selves and be More Self Assertive.
A Worcester (MassO newspaper la
ments that one can ride in n trolley car
through all the cities, towns and vii
lagos from Boston to New York with
out learning the names OF any OF them
from legend placed by the wayside
to attract the travellers attention, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. The state
mcnt Is Il little exaggerated The great
towns are readily Identified. but the
case is different with respect to the
smiling villages to be found on every
electric line which runs to the country
side
Scarcely any of these alluring little
settlements can be Identified unless one
happens to pass the postotiCe or the
steam railway station or is fortunate
enough to be riding with Il knowing
and communicative conductor One OF
these officials. employed on street
railway line running out Of rhilade-
phia. had such slight knowledge Of the
territory through which his ear was
passing that he was unable to give to
an Interested passenger the name of a
fine stream SPAWNED by graceful. old
fashioned. stone arChed bridge over
which the tracks were laid.
Fortunately this dense ignorance Of
local geography. OF the names Of his
torIc buildings and scenic features gen
orally. rs to which the alert traveller
wishes to be Informed, is not common
among 'rolley ear conductors. The
rider who was so lucky rs to find Il
place with the loquacIous driver in the
old staGecopCh days needed no better
guidebook, bit he is gone and tn
casual traveller must seek elsewhere il
he would discover his latitude and Ion
gitude
our pretty little towns and villages
should he more self aSSertivc and blow
their trumpctS louder for the sake of
the wayfarer who speeds through them
in the ''broomStick train" 4 readable
sign at the boundary line would be
helpful. Buildings along the wayside
which have interesting historical asSo-
Citations should b" appropriately Ia
belcd In one of the Now England
towns n tablet is placed on fence
which Informs the visitor that 1t Is
near the spot where certain unfortu-
mates were hanged for praCtlcing
witChCraft. In this way we read his
tory as we fly.
Many churches bear no name upon
their walls. 1t would be satisfactory
to know what denomination worships
in such an inviting place. There may
be scores Of business signs along the
route and none giving the most impor-
tant information Of all. the name OF the
settlement. One may travel through
long succession of villages without
learning their names. Property own
erS are too modest. We wish to know
who lives IN the commanding residence
on the hill or in the attractive cottage
EMPOWERED in roses. The trolley lines
have done much to wnken up our VII
lagos, but they have not learned how
to advertise themselves.

him the brick.
Mr. Rabbit thanked him sadly and
started for the pond.

he got back to where the trap stood.
