WESTERN RANCH LIFE.
Scene With Buffalo Bills
Wild West

One OF the most effective scenes,
typical OF the early days OF the far
West, will be "A Holiday at TIE
Ranch" as depicted in scene with
Buffalo Bits Wild West which soon
visits this city. Therein will be
shown the brighter side OF ranch life,
in which pleasure reigns while the
plainsman takes "a day off" The
more fearful side of prairie life will
also be shown in the same scene, for
as a striking contrast the attack upon
the ranch by a band OF Indians will
illustrate the perils which attended
the early settlement Of the West. T.
f Ranch is the winter home of Buff
falo Bill. near Cody, Wyoming, a
town named I'm honor OF Col. VIM. r.
Cody buffalo BID. The scenic art
list has pictured the ranch house and
It's surroundings as accurately as con-
ditions will permit and the re-enact-
ment OF a holiday scene at TIE Ranch
will be true to life, as are all the
scenes and incidents in the Wild
West. Incidental to this feature OF
the program Ray Thompson's group
of trained bronchos and mustangs will
be introduced. They perform difficult
feats OF "high-school' work with as
much ease and grace as do the best
trained circus thoroughbreds. and as
a climax to their exhibition one OF
the bronchos jumps over table at
which is seated party of diners.
Cowboy play and the pastimes of the
plainsmen will be introduced In the
TIE Ranch scene and an accurate idea
OF the sports and pleasures OF the
Westerner, can thus be gained.

This does not end the matter finally,
however, as Williams is inclined TO go
into court to unseat McCabe and get
what he considers his right. Prior TO
the confirmation of the examiners re
port. an affidavit was read In which
Howard 2. Comstock, an election
judge In Chicago, declared that Nc.
Cabe had registered in his district IN
1906. This would show that McCabe
had become resident OF Chicago and
given up his Detroit residence.
In the light of this affidavit. Aid.
Freiwald wished the matter sent back
to the board OF examiners again for
further investigation. but he was voted
down. The other aldermen, without
regard to party, had made up their
minds to accept the report and let
Williams go into court II necessary 70

Commissioner Haarer sent In a

the cutting out Of the $4,000 item for

TRANSFORMING A TOWN.
Good Work of a Village Improvement
Society In Massachusetts.

The Talbot mills Of North Billerica.
Mass, have issued a handbook pre-.
pared by Warren H. Manning. the
landscape architect. on the planning
and Planting Of Home Grounds" The
book is issued primarily for the use
Of the mill tenants, fact that adds
much to its interest. But it contains
considerable instruction and deal Of
we'll arranged botanical information.
which are Of value to anybody interest
ed in u garden, says Charities and the
Commons.
The transformation Of North Bill
lerica from the very common type of
wooden manufacturing village TO q
model among mill towns began in 1891.
In that year the family of Governor
Talbot erected for the use Of the vii
lage a memorial hall, with grounds de-
signed and planted by landscape
architect. Then the treasurer Of the
company. Frederic S., Clark, construct
ed attractively designed houses for ten
ants and aided the town in securing
tine brick schoolhouse. which fronts
on the oval, an ornamental open space
set apart to the public by the mill
company.
In 1900 Mr.. Manning became a sum-
mer resident Of the town. He prompt
ly formed a village improvement so
ciety. which now stands among the
first in the state In the distribution Of
bulbs and seeds, in the requirement
Of deeds to fine trees that these may
be permanently preserved and in Sc
curing public reservations. The school
grounds, mill grounds and those Of the
village filtration plant have been devel-
oped in accordance with artistic de-
signs, and in the planting of the en-
ployees' homes there has been arranged
under Mr.. Manning's direction 4 con-
tinuous belt Of lilacs from house to
house which screens the back yards
from the front lawns. Otherwise the
householders have been left free to de-
velop their own planting schemes,
which, under the stimulus Of a system
Of prizes, they have done with re-
markable success. The result Of ell
this is the transformed town.

How Not to Boom a Town.

Here are few general rules for the
use and guidance of those who have a
constant and abiding desire TO prevent
their home town from moving forward
in the modern march of progress:
Always knock every new movement
instead of boosting it.
Be careful to lose no opportunity to
run down the town in your casual con-
yerSation.
Take particular pains to spy out and
dcnounce every citizen who thinks the
town is 4 pretty good place to live in.
Never fail to compare your own town
with the next town up the line, to the
vast disadvantage and humiliation OF
your home place.
In writing letters 70 your friends and
relatives or to business people else
where always contrive to add a post
script that will give tue outsider an I'M
preston that the town where you live
is about the measliest on the globe.
