agents. are in Broad street, and
the windows of the room used
for board meetings look down upon the
angle where beats the money pulse of
the nation
Ford had successfully resisted the
temptation to lobby for his scheme
during the one day interval between
his conference with Mr.. Colbrith and
the date of the called meeting of the
directors. 1t was not a mistaken sense
of loyalty to the president that re-
strained him; on the contrary, he de-
cided that Mr.. Coibrith's declaration of
war left him free to fight as he would.
But upon due consideration he con-
cluded to set the advantage of an as
sault en- masse over against the
dubious gain of an advanced skirmish
line, and when he turned out of Broad
way into Wall street on the morning
of destiny the men whom he was to
meet and convince were still no more
to him than a list of names in Poor's
Manual, consulted within the hour for
tho purpose.
He was early on the battle ground
much too early. he thought when a
clerk ushered him into the board room
in the rear of the brokers Offices AS
yet there was only one person present
"a young man who was lounging in
the easiest of the leather covered chairs
and yawning dismally. AT the first
glance the face seemed oddly and strik-
ingly familiar; but when the young
man marked the newcomers entrance,

teur promoter carried his papers, and
got up to shake hands. Ford found the

Mr. Ford Uncle Sidney has been telling
us about. Pull up a chair and sit by
the window. It's the only amusement
you'll have until the clan gathers"
Ford looked at his watch.
Il seem to be ahead of time" he re-
marked. Il understood Mr. Colbrith to
say that the meeting would be called
for 10 o'clock
oh that's all right: and so he did. .
rejoined the other cheerfully But
that means anything up to noon for a
directors meeting in New York" Then,
after pause, DO you know any of us
personally. Mr.. Ford?'
Ford was rummaging in his memory
again. Il ought tor know you, Mr.,
Adair. 1t isn't very decent to drag in
resemblances, but
The resemblance is the real thing
this time,'' said-Adair. You saw me
day before yesterday, driving out of
the Overlook grounds as you were
going in
Ford shook his head.
No; it goes back of that; some time
I'll remember how and where But to
answer your question: 1 know Mr..
Colbrith slightly, but I've never met
any of the directors.
Well you are meeting one at this

crossing his legs comfortably. But 1

Indeed. you will do nothing of the
kind she asserted. You will give
me your card-we're going back to the
conventions now-and when we reach
the city you may lend me enough
money to take me uptown: and tomor-
row morning my brother will pay you
back"
You are much more lenient than l
deserve. Really, you ought to stick me

would serve me right"

She looked as if she were sorry for
him.
That is rank heresy," she declared
our forefathers had the better of us
in many ways, and their simpler man
had time for all the little courtesies
and kindnesses that make life truly
worth living"
Ford's laugh was boyishly derisive
"Yess they certainly had plenty OF

Why. just think for a moment of what
our own America would be If merely

She was silenced, if not wholly con-
Vinced; and a few minutes later the train
drew into the Forty-second street sta
ton. When the parting time came Ford
dutifully gathered her belongings. saif

"TOWN cow" CIVIC PROBLEM.

Women Of Tennessee Municipality
Active For Improvement.
What can be done in the way OF
civic Improvement in the smaller mu-
inequalities has been demonstrated by
the Civic Improvement club Of Hunt
ington. Tenn. Organized in August.
1906, with thirty members, the club
now numbers fifty Inasmuch as the
clubs membership is limited to wom-
en-, that part Of the work for a more
beautiful city which requires the Serv-
ton Commercial club, aud in many
things the two organiZa tons cooper
ate to advantage
Interest in the work for which the
Improvement club was formed was
great from the beginning. Some Of the
questions to be considered were linn
iting the range Of 1.-The town cow" re-
pairing the streets and sidewalks, the
suppression Of weeds along the side
walks and the removal Of waste paper
and sweepings from the streets.
By the cattle quarantine the town
cow soon was kept in proper bounds.
Councils were moved by public senH-
ment to repair unsightly sidewalks
and cut down tall weeds. The club
bought dozen garbage cans and dis
tributed them in various parts Of the
town SO that shopkeepers and house
holders could put their waste paper
and trash in them.
Through the efforts Of the club the
barren square at the railroad station
was transformed into park. The
railroad company fenced the park, set
out the trees and furnished the gravel
for sidewalks. The Commercial club
paid for the work of grading, crawling
the walks and supply Of grass seed.
The women's organization planned the
walks and flower beds and superin-
tended the planting Much of that
work was done by members. ~
Two flower parks were placed in the
town square under the sole care Of the
Civic Improvement club. These for
merly were vacant lots, adorned only
with hitching posts, weeds and q sun
dry collection Of tin cans. An the
plants. flower seeds and shrubbery
were supplied by friends Of the club.
In addition the club was active In
getting seventy-f1ve trees planted in
the highways and now is urging, the
planting Of 500 more. For the benefit
of the boys and girls OF the town the
club is planning for the esta blishment
of a public library.
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1908-09-24

One OF the most powerful influences
in the upbuilding or improvement of
city or town is the public press. Many
Instances are ON record where highly
effective work has been accomplished
in very short time. 1t is but re-
Gently that a Seattle editor, who had
long and persistently advocated q mu-
nicipal cleanup, decided to take more
drastic action. So he sent forth his
photographer to take pictures Of refuse
dumps close to residences of prominent
people. Of filthy corners and byplaces
close in and Of the deplorable condi-
ton OF a tiny brook which runs
through the city These and scores Of
other unkempt spots were photographed,
and each day two or three were shown
in the paper. with the result that q
general rush was made to clean up
before the photographs showed too
many residences Of wealthy people
close by filthy refuse dumps. Some In
dignant remonstrances were made, but
of what use is it to scrap when alto
gether to blame? The controversy was
too one sided. and much cleaner Seat
tie resulted in a very short time.
Doubtless much could be done along
this line by scores Of periodicals n
southern California. especially IN small
centers where no systematic eollec-
t1on Is made Of garbage or other n
use

discarded machinery, ties and the Ike.
The original beauty Of the country Is
preserved.
The same nice sense Of public obliga-
ton is displayed even more emphaucai-
ly by the Blackwells, father ana son.
when their road gets into town One
can read in their engineering and con-
struction performances the very char
acter of the men. The right OF way In
this valley is a veritable park. Said
the elder Blackwell recently when
thanked for the splendid depot at this
point, eve build our road to stay and
our depots for comfort and beauty"
In striking contrast with the North
ern Paci1cs possessions in Rathdrum,
the Blackwell depot is indeed beau
tiful creation 1t is built in the CEN
ter of an entire block bought and
cleared of expensive dwellings in or
der that park might be made around
it. 1t is modern in all its appoint
ments and is a permanent and valua-
BILE adjunct to the village OF which ev-
cry citizen is justly proud.
Its existence has stimulated an am
bition on the part Of the people to i'm
prove and beautify their homes. It at
fords daily intense satisfaction to the
eye, and instead Of giving forth the
idea of cold commercialism there Is
involved the sense of altruistic consid-
eratiOns.
The Blackwells fully understand the
rights belonging to the public and have
very much nobler form OF worship
than that Of the dollar All this you
may see in the comforts. safety and
establishment of this road and its
equipment.
The Blackwells have proved that the
presence of railroad Is not neces-
sarily a pathological or scenic nui-
sance. In taking into account the
needs and wishes Of the villages
through which their road runs they
have done much to modify prevailing
hostility justifia BILE hostility-to accu-
mulated railroad wealth. They have
given additional value to vested inter-
ests and augmented immensely the
comforts of all having dealings with
the road
