gifts were of the value of a kings ran
som. Mr.. Vanderbilt inherited the lions
share of the fortune of his father, the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt, his elder
brother, Cornelius junior, being cut off
from his natural share of the estate on
account of his marriage to Miss Grace
Wilson against his fathers will. The
reports as to an estrangement between
Alfred Vanderbilt and his wife go to
show that the elder brothers marriage
proved the happiest, after all. for no
one has ever alleged the existence Of
any lack of harmony in their home.
Alfred Vanderbilt is noted for his
fondness for coaching, and many sto-
ries are told of him in this connection.
A Pittsburg millionaire was once in

the coach was. 1t was his first trip of

CLEANING UP SCHEME.
How Girls Helped to Clear a Tract
For New Park.

How Girls Helped to Clear a Tract
For New Park.
If any tract Of land in your town
needs cleaning up, try the following
method adopted by the mayor of a
Missouri town:
Every schoolgirl in Alton, Mo-. be-
came a Maud Muller the other day, but
instead of a meadow sweet with hay"
she raked the sixty-five acre tract, in
Guiding Rock Spring park, donated to
Alton for public purposes.
Mayor Beall headed the park raking
fete. He was there with the biggest
rake of all and made the greatest show
of feverish industry, says the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch. All the citizens of the
town were invited to help, and most of
them responded. All the school chill
dren were invited, and all of them re-
sponded. Free transportation was pro-
vided on street car lines to the park.
and special cars were run for the
rakers.
No appropriation was made by the
city council for cleaning the tract, and
Mayor Beall resorted to a general call.
The results surpassed his expectations,
and rubbish and leaves disappeared as
If by magic.

PROTECTING SHADE TREES.
Work of Commissions Appointed For
That Purpose,

Work of Commissions Appointed For
That Purpose.
The cities in New Jersey and Penn
sylvania are by statute now enabled to
appoint shade tree commissions to take
care of the shade trees on their streets.
They can set out new trees and assess
the cost on the property benefited.
They trim trees. protect them from in
jury, clean out decayed trunks and fill
the holes with cement and wage war
against the insect pests. Municipal
Engineering describes the methods of
work of the shade tree commission of
East Orange. N. j.. and shows what
can be done.
In the trimming of trees great care
Is taken to cut off all limbs close to
and even with the trunk. All scars are
painted with a coat of thick coal tar.
All trees on a street are pruned to a
uniform height, and as far as possible
that height is made ten feet. to clear
all street lights.

chief tasks of the commission. The
control Of the injurious insects not
only preserves the foliage Of the trees
for the season, but maintains their
health and vitality. What can be done
by persistent work in this line is
shown by the results with the woolly
maple scale (Pseudococcus aceris),
which attacks the sugar maple. Other
pests are the tussock moths, attacking
the American elm and linden, the
white maple and the horse chestnut;
the cotton maple scale, attacking the
white maple; the elm leaf beetle, the
spring elm caterpillar. the bagworm
and the fall webworm. The idea con-
stantly borne in mind is to destroy the
insects in as early a stage as possible,
to minimize both the amount of work
required in treatment and the injury
done to the trees.

Selma by Fraud.

One of the catalogue houses, other
wise mail order stores, is selling for So
an electroplated watch which it repre-
sents as having a gold filled case, and
the house warrants the timepiece for
twenty years. Precisely the same
watch is sold at a profit by many jew
elers for So. The mail order concern
which sells it for So makes at least SIS
by clear and unauthorized fraud. Yet
many persons throughout the country
are buying this timepiece just because
of the twenty years warrant and the
gold filling claim. Naturally a man
who has been handed a lemon will
not kick back if the lemon turns out
to be sour, so the catalogue house has
very little trouble from the complaints
of those who find that the article they
get is not the M they order.

Ballad of Sleepy Bill.

r
In Sleepyville dwelt Sleepy Bill,
Who kept a sleepy store.
A place was 1t to lounge or sit
And Snore and snore and snore,
And sometimes came to play a game
OF checkers three or four.
But seldom there a lady fair
A bargain came to buy,
For women's toys in catalogues
Quite often caught the eye.
So things for sale they bought by mail
At prices low or high.
In town n day appeared q gay
And lively youth, who quoth:
why sit and snore and let your store
Run down? Upon my oath.
Lemme ran things and make, by jings,
A fortune for us both!"
Bill said 20. K" and dozed away,
But Mr.. Lively sized
Things up at once-he was no Ounce
And went and advertised
Such bargains rare (Bill had EN- there)
The public was surprised.
The buyers came-young girl and dame
And youth and man and child.
There was a rush, a real crush
In fact to put 1t mild,
All ~Sleepyville woke up. until
The rush was almost wild. Il
And Bill awoke and even spoke.
He said: I'm feelin, sore.
eve thought folks would have
fought
To p%atronize my store.
