~@NAs@~ magnificent bloom there? It
seems impossible that such rose garden
would come into being outside OF Cali
fornia. Such huge ones and such heaps
Of them--mostly Magma Chartas and Paul
Neyrous! Mr.. Adams has tried out all
the kinds that do we'll in our climate. It
would more than pay prospective rose
gardeners to see his collection and II possi-
BILE get the benefit of his advice and OK
perience. He has a rose hedge up next
tn green house that is enough to drive
one wild with delight. A pergola farther
on is covered with Crimson Ramblers
which will very shortly be in their glory
-
Hanscom park this year Is more beau
tiful than ever Ali II needs to make It
perfect is a good band to play at least on
Sunday afternoons. The city is spending
so much on general Improvement 1t seems
as II a sum should be put aside for music
in one or two of the most popular parks.
This will come, no doubt, very shortly.
In the meanwhile we are developing a
city which bids fair to rival in loneliness
any on the continent. I noticed with Joy
the other day that very pretty iron arc
lamp had been hung at the corner Of Six
teeEth and Farnam streets. why can we
not continue this idea and make all our
street Appearances artistic as we'll as use
full? Glory bel The telegraph poles will
be going soon--about the ugiiest things
man ever conceived. Our wide streets
will be a God-send always, even II we
don't look as busy as Kansas City"
Have men got to be squashed TO do busi-
ness" I've heard II said many times that
the strongest men mentally and the busiest
who get through a power OF work never
have the appearance of being hurried;
their desks are clean; they are master Of
themselves and what they have to do;
there's no distracted chicken atmosphere.
Many people take this city for granted
and find fault with its shortcomings. My
father sat on a log down by the Missouri
river, before there was anything here at
all and turned over in his mind the ad-
visibility of locating" here, Joining with
several other young men to build a new
town. That was only fifty years ago.
Think of that, you musicians who COM
plain that we are unappreciative. Frills
come after the solid foundation. This
is practically town of the second gener-
alton. Wait for the third, ye artist people.
The May festival under Mr. Penniman
