Continuing his speech begun in the
Senate last Tuesday, Senator LaFollette
of Wisconsin Thursday devoted consider
able time to discussing a proposition for
the physical valuation of railroads. The
Senate devoted part of the day to the
consideration of the omnibus claims bill,
and then referred it back to committee
for further consideration. After several
hours of spirited discussion over the
proposition to abolish seventeen of the
eighteen United States pension agencies,
and consolidate pension disbursements in
Washington. the House passed the pen
sion appropriation bill, carrying $780,
$4,000. the largest sum ever authorized
by that measure. In the course of the
debate Mr.. Fitzgerald of New York ac-
cused the President of using federal pat
ronage to further the candidacy of Sec
rotary Taft. Messrs. Harrison of New
York and Williams of Mississippi criti-
csed the President for having, as they
stated. exceeded his constitutional author
ity in making laws for the Panama canal
zone by executive order.

After speaking for two and half
hours in the Senate Tuesday on the pend
ing currency bill, Senator La Toilette

CITY ROSE HEDGE.
How a Small Back Yard Was Easily
Made a Beauty Spot.

How a Small Back Yard Was Easily
Made Beauty Spot.
Iron fences can easily be made at
tractive and greatly enhance the
beauty of town by following the
scheme described in this article:
There is little two story house on
street in West Philadelphia that
boasts one of the prettiest rose hedges
that ever reminded the tired city
dweller of green lawns and country
gardens. The house has, as most West
Philadelphia houses do. a wee bit of
sodded yard behind it-only few feet
square and surrounded by low iron
fence.
Over this fence the roses trail. gay
crimson ramblers and dainty pink ram
blers and rare bits of sweetbrier. From
the street through the narrow distance
that separates the house from it's neigh
boring pair" the passerby catches
glimpses Of what looks like some love
ly pleasure garden. In the warm days
the family who live in the little house
all the year around eat their supper in
corner Of the yard beside the roses.
and on summer afternoons they enter
tain callers there. 1t is one of the
prettiest places in town, this back yard
of little two story house.
And all that the wise housewife did
was to buy some little rose plants, the
climbing kind. and train them over that
ugly wire fence.

Hinh Culture Manifest.

Surely we are undergoing a pleas
ing development in civic life in the
matter of municipal beauty, cleanliness
and conveniences. Those places are
indeed behind the times which provide
no resting places, drinking fountains
and evidence Of community pride and
thrift. The individual may help much
toward the desired goal If he only
cleans and cares for his own premises
in a proper manner. Work of this
kind, like the measles, is highly con-
tagious and soon affec,s the community
generally. Visitors wonder why such
place is so much more attractive
than others similarly situated and are
unconsciously attracted and If looking
for q home will not fail to consider the
live, up to date appearance when the
final decision to settle Is made. Tidy
up your premises and brighten the
scene with few flowers.

My heart throbs with pity
For him of the city

Feel the warm sunshine rare
And live where is plenty OF room

Where meadow brooks playing
Sing melodies soothing and sweet,
Where the white daisies dip
The cool waters to sip
Or the ferns and the l!chenS to greet

or wild birds as. flinging
Their rapture, they mount to the sky;
To the balm on the breeze
And the music Of bees
Or the katydid's neighborly cry.
