Lines in Memory Of Rev. Spotswood
Rice, Who Departed This Life o.
tober 81, 1907, at 11:10 A. M.
10y Rev.. J. w. sanders.)
He was always CHEEKY, this man of
ours,
He was sturdy and kind and true,
A man who was gifted with massive
powers,
Whose friendship was like heavens
blue.
His life was unsullied by vice or crime,
His love was as broad as mankind,
And always he sought to redeem the
time,
Not a man to sulk nor repine.
Born in day when men were misled,
Some held and shackled their broth
erS,
Who served as chattel till they were
dead,
Their lives were given to others.
He stood in manhood leader of men,
His race to enlighten and save,
He held to his purpose now as then
Till he went down to his lone grave.
AS foreman in the dark, dark days,
He tried to help and save his men,
To lead them out of slippery ways,
Till on manhood he could depend.
Then in the dark days of mortal strife
He shouldered gun and marched
away,
He barred his bosom-offered his life,
The debt for our freedom to pay.
He heard the thunder shot and she'll
The groans of the wounded and dy
ing,
He thought Of Him who in the gospel
Wiped tears from hearts that were
crying
With light of freedom through the
land,
Soldiers came home shouting glory,
With gospel preachers he took his
stand
To herald the wonderful story.
Toilfng in vineyard year by year,
His mark for the Master to make.
It's true he often shed a tear,
His mead of life's sorrows to take.
He's noble, grand and inspiring,
HIS heart beat right truer than steel,
His life one of holy daring,
Filled with a true Christian zeal.

Planning a Duplex House

A gas range is the best and safest, and
do not forget a good wall space for the
ice box. The ice box can be provided as
a permanent fixture or not as the owner
prefers, providing such essent ais as ice
boxes and kitchen cabinets goes a long
ways toward pleasing the prospective ten
ant and the expense is really small when
considered as a part of the investment.
Most duplex houses are built purely as
an investment, but some are built as both

flat. This arrangement is a very satisfae-
tory one especially for a man who desires
that the. building should pay off part Of
the Indebtedness when money has been bor-
rowed for building It. The rent from the
second floor will pay all the expense of
keeping up the building, pay the taxes and
fuel bill and still leave enough to clothe
the family and furnish a trip or two with

REQUEST TO BE CARED FOR
M~unihcent Gift for Improvement and
Maintenance OF BOston's
Parks.

TIL will of George Francis Parkman, just
probated, creates for the city Of Boston
a fund of about IS, SO,OOO, its income to be
applied to the maintenance and improve
ment of the Common and the parks exist
ing at the time of the bequest-January u,
lsS7-but not for the purchase of additional
land for park purposes. is by far the
greatest bequest ever made for similar pur-
poses in this country. In Europe it Is prob
ably exceeded only by that of the duke of
Brunswick, who bequeathed his
fortune to the city of Geneva some years
ago for purposes of public establishment.
Geneva has been nobly improved in conse-
quenee.
The Parkman bequest has possibilities of
immense and enduring benefits for the Bos-
ton public. Its intentfon may very easily
be nullified The Common stands sadly in
need of betterment, AMI large amounts can
be spent upon 1t to advantage. The parks
In general need many things done for them.
Just what should be done can be deter
mined only after careful consideration of all
the circumstances The fund should an
nually yield an income, IL kept invested
according to Mr.. Parkman's advice, OF per-
haps more than $4,000 a year. But, to
assure the application of this great sum
according to the evident intention of the
t~estator, care should be taken at the put
set to safeguard the fund by all possible
precautions, Memory of the shameless loot
ing Of the Franklin fund by a board Of
aldermen, frustrated only by. the sagacious,
firm determination of Mayor Collins, shows
how necessary such a measure ia, Other
wise the Parkman und might easily be
converted into a particularly and perma-
nently juicy preserve for grating ex-
ploitattons. Even should II be applied to
nothing worse than a substitution Of it's
income for a corresponding amount de-
Quoted from the chemically inadequate
maintenance appropriations for the parks
and public gr~ounds-thereby favoring the
tax rate by so much-this would constitute
a fragrant violation Of the terms of the
will. 1t would mean simply a releasing
Of 20 much mony from the annual park
appropriations to be employed for other
municipal purposes. In effect, therefore,
the Parkman bequest would be diverted to
street paving. sewer building. etc. Its ad-
ministration by a competent board of trus-
tees would effectively prevent all such
abuses.
Should the Parkman fund not bear its
intended fruits similar public benefactions
would be discouraged hereafter. Other
wise 1t should greatly encourage them,
This Is an age of beneficence. Who knows
what bountiful provisions for a better Or
dered Boston may not be contained in wills
already written or yet to be made? AS to
Reston's latest benefactor, is not the name
of Parkman peculiarly felicitious in view
of his purpose?

1t was impossible to tell whether he was
