TOWN REAuTlFYING CLUB.
Two thirds Of Linden's Residents Are
Members Of It.

NCHbSTS VI H.
Linden, Mass, boasts Of a club Of
which over two-thirds Of the town res
idents are members whose object 1t Is
to improve the minds and bodies Of the
population and to beautify the town
itself. 1t is known as the Literary and
Athletic Association of Linden.
Lately the club members have been
busy repairing the clubhouse, known
as Association hall, located in the cen
ter Of the town. This building has
been idle for the past five years. Its
central location makes it an ideal place
tor social gatherings.
The society was organized in a char
acteristic manner. One evening last
July the residents We're startled by the
violent ringing of the bell in the old
club building. Alarmed by the ringing,
the whole town was soon out in full
force. This was just what the club Off
GERS wanted, and when the people had
gathered Charles A. Westcott, the pres
ident, addressed them, telling them
that the old clubhouse had been idle
long enough and that 1t was a pity If
such town as linden could not have
q club Of which to be proud.
Then a Plan was outlined for the club
to become corpora ton of business in
t,.,- res to be sold, and
all were invited 70 invest.

Glass Toys.

Glass toys are the latest for babies.
They are intended to replace the dear
old painted articles that baby would
put into his mouth and consequently
run serious danger Of lead poisoning.
But to the onlookeer 1t would seem as
though death by glass were little pref
cradle to death from paint and that
baby is quite as likely to endanger his
life through breakage Of his toy as he
is BY sucking 1t.
Broadly this is true, but the glass Of
which playthings are made is so heavy
that 1t takes a regular Sandow of a
young one to hold them. The object
Of thickness is of course to lessen the
danger Of breakage, but even the
strongest can chip at the edge, and q
splinter is capable of doing good deal
Of damage.
AS matter Of fact, only the babies
Of the rich are likely to be protected
In this doubtful fashion, for the toys
made Of glass are by no means mex
pensive. The healthy youngsters Of
ordinary families will have to thrive
upon wood and paint as did their for
bears.

WHAT MONEY WILL BUY.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

A certain man, reputed to be from
Chicago, went down Broadway, New
York city, few days ago distributing
five and ten dollar bills to the people.
The man was arrested and adjudged
insane. 1t was taken for granted that
any man who would voluntarily give
away what everybody was trying to
have and hold must necessarily be
crazy. However,
The man might have been merely
drunk.
Or his conscience may have troubled
him because Of the way in which he
got the money.
Or he may have been prompted by
philanthropic feelings.
But, to dismiss motives, is the mere
fact that man gives away good
money on the street evidence that he Is
insane?
If so. why do we say that men who
are immersed In money getting, who
do nothing and think nothing but mon
ey-why do we say that these men
are "mOney mad? Is 1t not true that
when man gets the insane notion
into his head that money is the only
thing worth while in this world he is
mentally unbalanced?
Then why conclude that only the
man who gives money away is mad?
Will money buy the best things
love, joy, peace?
Certainly not. They are not for sale
on any counter. They are the fruits of
mans spirit. They spring up in his
soul and ripen there.
Then why put so much value on
money?
Money can buy many things, neces-
stiles, comforts, luxuries, ease, power
And so men 60 over seas and CONT
nents and die for the sake Of money
They will even sell their souls to get
money and then bask themselves in
the sunshine Of their self made pros
perlty, hoping for happiness.
Are they not as insane as the man
who was reckless with his bills?
Because all they can buy with money
are OUTSIDE THINGS. while the true
satisfactions of life spring from
WITHIN. If man were only dust, the
!. golden dust Of earth might satisfy.
But he is more than dust.
John L. Sullivan-and he spoke from
personal experlence-put this truth
tersely the other day when he said:
MONEY WILL BUY EVERY
THING-BUT HAPPINESS"
Think 1t over.
Is it not possible the "crazy man"
was about the only sane person on
Broadway?

IMPROVING A TOWN.
Consistent Following of Prede-
termined Plan Necessary.
A GENERAL. MOVEMENT BEST.
Sound Progress Only Made on Basis
Of Real knowledge - improvement
Work Should Be Done Slowly, Me-
thodicaiIy and Scientifically.

A great deal is said these days about
civic improvement. This is big term
and covers multitude Of things-some
art, some science, some philanthropy
and some humbug. Altogether, how
ever, civic improvement Is a. good
thing. The rural neighborhood perhaps
needs systematic, scientific and sympa-
thetic Improvement more than any
other part of the American world.
Civic improvement, understood in its
best sense. is coming to be recog-
nized science win various artistic as
poets. Certain fundamental principles
are now widely recognized, and these
principles should be early apprehended
by those who wish to see country
neighborhooas enjoy the best Of every
thing.
First of all, it must be understood
that real improvement must be funda-
mental. Any dealing with superficial
details is apt to be disappointing. The
simple establishment Of q Carnegie H.
brary or trolley line in community
will not reform everything. There
must be general movement compre-
hending better roads, better schools.
better libraries, better churches better
morals, cleaner politics, better houses,
more homeli.e grounds, better SANTA
ton and water supply, better health.
better everything, says writer In the
Country Gentleman. The great trouble
Is that these public movements are
usually headed by cranks. One town
will be exploited by the good roads
crank, another will be taken in hand
by the political reform club, another
by the w. c. II. u, another by the
board Of health, and another place will
suffer from village improvement So
ciety which thinks Of nothing but
strawberries on the front lawns. All
these things are good, but to 60 very
far they must all pull together.
The second great fact Is that sound
V""r-'-~- ~"'' - made only on the
basis of real knowledge. Educational
improvements should be made on the
advice of expert educators rather than
of local wiseacres. Improved SANTA
ton should come under the direction
of expert sanitary engineers. The i'm
rrovement Of the town common. the
cemetery and the street trees should
follow the recommendations of expert
enced landscape gardeners. Such ex-
pert advice will usually cost some
thing. 1t always ought to, but 1t Is
worth the price.
In the next place, civic Improvement
requires q consistent following of a
predetermined rlan. No substantial re-
form is accomplished in day. All
real Improvements require, besides
brains, both time and money. If a
fixed plan is followed small sums of
money may be used as they can be
found to work out this consistent plan.
If there is no such scheme the money
spent this year does not cooperate
with that spent last year, and both APP
propriations are wasted. Let every
noiGhborhood seek Improvement but
let the work be done slowly, method
ically, inteliigeutly, scientifically.

Wayside Weed Destruction.

In some Of our heavyweight period
