WORKS FOR CIVIC PRIDE.
Excellent Scheme Devised by Mer-
chants of Western City.

A new scheme for arousing local
pride is being worked in an enterpris-
ing western city. The plan in brief
is, instead of attempting to vitalize
the civic spirit of the whole commr-
nifty, to organize clubs in different To-
Calities and to clean up and light up
certain sections, without regard to
what may be done elsewhere. For in
stance, a club is organised in a
single block, and merchants on each
side of the street r persuaded to
join. If it is desired to make the
block brilliant with light at night an
investigation is had to see how it can
be done, how much it will cost and
what it is worth. The plan has worked
80 successfully that organizations are
springing up all over the same city to
devote their attention to cleaning or
lighting a certain restricted territory.
1t is much easier to secure co-opera-
ton between 20 merchants than be-
tween 200, and the influence of the
few spreads in a widening circle

A Mind Reader.

Pat had got hurt-not much more
than a scratch, it is true, but his en-
ployer had visions of being compelled
to keep him for life, and had adopted
the wise course of sending him at once
to the hospital. After the house sur
geon had examined him carefully, he
said to the nurse:
GAS simultaneous abrasion is not OBJ
servable, l do not think there is any
reason to apprehend tegumental cica-
irritation of the wound"
Then, turning to the patient, he
asked, quizzically:
What do you think, Pat?"

A Brilliant Number.

Chief among the artistic features OF
Uncle Remus 's-The Home Magazine
for September is the cover design,
which is reproduction from a rem ark
able photograph of joel Chandler
Harris-taken about year before his
death-and showing the famous author
of the Uncle Remus" stories stand
ing in the middle of the Big Road on
the Snap Bean Farm, the whimsical
name he gave to his beautiful subur
ban home in Atlanta, Ga. About this
photograph Don Marquis has written
a short story ofMr. Harris's love for
flowers, vines and trees, with all of
whom the farmer of Snap-Bean Farm
seemed to have an intimate acquaint-
anceship not given to many mortals.
In the same number appears a letter
written by President Roosevelt to
Julian Harris, the new editor of the
magazine. Of Joel Chandler Harris,
the president says he was a geniusI
who, in his private life, illustrated the
iery quality which we must all of us
like TO see typical of the homes of the
nation. He never wrote anything. =
writes MIR. Roosevelt, (which did not
make the man or woman reading it
feel little better. /"
The president is of the opinion that
the best monument that could be
reared to the memory of the great
author would be to perpetuate the
magazine which he founded and into
which he put the best that was in him.
A delightfully."- sympathetic tribute to
the memory of Mr.. Harris, from the
pen of Thomas E Watson, author and
statesman, also appears in the maya

Prosperous Times Coming.

The annual trade editions of the
New Orleans newspapers, published
on Sept /, show much better finau-
cfal and commercial condition in Lou
isiana than most people looked for
following the depression of the trade
year just closed. True, the develop
ment of various industries has been
checked td some extent by the inabil-
ity OF home borrowers to obtain loans
on favorable terms and by the diff
Guilty encountered by home investors
in the effort TO turn securities into
ready money. But the tendency toward
trade expansion has not been checked
and it is now confidently believed that
soon after the adoption of the consti
tutional amendment exempting mort
gage loans from taxation plenty of
money at and 5 per cent will he
available, and that railroad eonstrpc
ton, the erection of new buildings and
the opening up of new industries will
quickly furnish all able. bodied work
men in the state with profitable labor,
which in turn will do more TO revive
general trade prosperity throughout
the state than any other one thing.
