Cultivate the Imagination.

He who can read easily and under
standingly possesses the key to all hui
man knowledge. If he reads with i'm
agination alert, his mind will be
progressive. He will become more
and more self-reliant, and will become
self-confident as he realizes the
strength Of his imaginative powers.
He will each day become more valu-
able to himself and to his employer
because he is alert and receptive, and
because imagination will permeate all
his ideals, his thoughts and his activ-
tiles. The man with imagination Is
equal to all emergencies, for when one
way of accomplishing a desired re-
suit proves inefficient, he will think
of another, says the New York World.
The imaginative gift broadens the out
look and creates resourcefulness. To
the artist, the student, and the philos-
opher, the development of the imag-
inative faculty is of the greatest value,
but to the worker in the business or
mechanical world it's value is little
less. The man who has imaginative
strength never can be downed, for
when one of his schemes has failed,
he always has another ready, and will
persist until he achieves success.

Not long ago, the Youths Com
panion, in an article on English
historical pageants, made the sugges-
tion that something of similar kind
might well form part of anniversary
celebrations in this country. Since
then something of the sort has taken
'place. The observance of "Ohio day"
by the town Of Rutland, Mass, was
made intensely interesting, and also
historically valuable, by a pageant in
which men, women and children were
dressed as were the pioneers of Gen.
Rufus Putnams band, and drawn by
slow-moving oxen hitched to prairie
schooners." More lately still the ap.
proval by Lord Tennyson of a pageant
with scenes taken from his fathers
poems, as celebration of the hun
dredth anniversary of the poets birth,
has led to the suggestion on this side
of the water that the coming Whittier
centenary be marked by pageant of
scenes from the Quaker poets verse.
The simplicity and historic character
of much of Whittier's poetry would
make this easy.

The Back Yard.

Paris is a city noted everywhere for
beauty, not merely of architecture, but
Of nature, and the art which good
taste is able to evolve from nature.
Particularly is it known for the beau
ty Of it's trees and flowers and parks.
The chief gardener Of the city of Paris
has been spending two months vaca-.
ton in the United States, studying
American methods in developing city
parks and gardens. He found much
to praise, but had nothing but con-
demnation for the American city back
yard. In New York, particularly, he
found the back yards incredibly ugly
and neglected-no grass, no trees, no
vines, no flowers. The criticism would
hold good of almost any American
city, but the matter is one which
young landscape architects are be-
ginning seriously to consider. One
such in Boston, says the Youths
Companion, is making special study
of the problem of converting few
square yards of brick pavement into
little secluded bower Of greenery,
where the family can have a restful
hour or pleasant meal in surround
ings far more attractive than the aver
age roof-garden affords. Manufacture
ers interested in this young mans
work have produced special pieces of
garden furniture, of cement and terra
Gotta. A New Yorker has recently
told, in print, Of the curiosity he felt
at the wording of an advertisement of
some apartments to rent. One Of the
attractions mentioned was the outlook
on real trees and back yards which
were gardens. Later conversation
with the agent disclosed the fact that
the modest attempt at beauty which
the windows commanded was real
asset. 1t raised the rentable value Of
the property.

kept repeating to himself gleefully.
If it were possible he would like to
enjoy a number of amusements. "A

soliliquizing, and did no work.
Early in the after noon Gorley
left the Office, but still undecided
how he would spend the evening.
He strolled up the street, which
was crowded with hurrying
throng on their way home. Some
how Gorley felt rather glum. Ev-
erybody seemed to be rushing along
with definite purpose, but here he
was wandering aimlessly about, not
knowing just where to go or what
to do
Hunger finally urged him to the
club. Hello, Gorley, old mani"
shouted a half dozen friends, who
had not seen him at the club since
his marriage. This enthusiastic
greeting cheered Gorley, and he
again resolved that he would have
fine time with his old bachelor
friends. 81 needn't hurry home,
and l don't have to explain where

So he laughed at some coarse jokes,

funny. He did not wish his club
friends to think that he was bored;
indeed, he was chagrined at him
self for not having the good time
he anticipated. ut isn't like it
used to be-" he meditated: they
are boisterous and without proper

of his friends. Gorley smiled, but
said nothing. After finishing his
dinner. which he did not relish, be-

cooked. Gorley slipped away from
his companions and out into the
street.
I'll go to a show" he told him
self. "The music at least will be
pleasing" He had time to look at
the program before the curtain rose.
He felt that he would like to COM
ment on the players, some of whom
he had seen before, but on either
side of him were couples in close
conversation. Gorley looked about
and was surprised to see that every
body seemed to be with friend.
This made him feel conspicuous !;
! indeed, as he thought of his being
there alone, he felt embarrassed.
'Confound the show." he cried
out as he finished his cigar. I'll
