A Girl and

Il could love yOu." said the pretty
neighbOr, and then as the man Impet-
1Ously reached for her she added quick
ly, "fOr your garden!"
The mans face fell.
''Now, l call that downright mean,"

for months, and now find that It's not
me. but my garden, that's made an IN

ed roughly.
The pretty neighbOr clasped her hands
in real distress.
"Oh, don'tw she cried. "You don't

Wholly distressed, the pretty neigh

the paths toward a gay little summer
house.
She was standing near a wall, beside
a little fountain, and all about her the
garden was bower of beauty. Vlstas
between the trees radiated from the
spot where she stood. Birds sang In
the trees. She could hardly realize that

Socialist Testimony,

Hon. Carl d. Thompson, Socialist
member of the Wisconsin legislature,
points as the foreword to his pamphlet
"The Constructive Programme Of So
cialism" this quotation from Lieb-
knecht:
I'VE are not going to attain social
ism at one bound. The transition is
going on all the time, and the impor-
tant thing for us in this explanation Is
not to paint a picture Of the future.
which in any case would be useless Ia
Dor, but to forecast a practical pro-
gramme for the immediate period, to
formulate and justify measures that
shall serve as aids to the new Socialist
BIRTH"
Mr.. Thompson then proceeds to out
line the measures that shall serve as
aids to the new Socialist BIRTH" devot-
ing more than one-third Of his brochure
to municipal ownership, which he
frankly calls municipal socialism and
evidently regards as the most avail
able means for accustoming the public
to socialistic principles and methods.
We owe a debt of gratitude to Mr..
Thompson for helping to make clear
the intimate connection between mu-
nicipal ownership and socialism.

MORE DEAD ONES
AND FEW M0URNERS.

The electric plant formerly owned
by Tawas City, Mich. is now In pri-
vate hands. No information Is OBJ
tainable from city officials.
The generating plant Of the city cleo
tric light works of Fayetteville, N. c.,
Installed In 1902 at a cost Of $50, 900,
has been closed down, and a contract
for current has been made with pri-
vate company.
The municipal electric light plant Of
Galena, ILL.,, was installed In 1893 at
cost Of $4,000 1t was sold last July
for $4,000, but this price included a
twenty-five year light power and trac-
ton franchise Under the new con-
tract the city will get practically twice
the amount Of street lighting that was
furnished by the municipal plant at
only Is per cent greater cost. The
plant has not been a success. One ac-
count of 1t says:
ats management was changed as
often as new political cliques gained
power, and at times there was no
street illumination at all. The COM
mercial service was inferior"
News of the action of the council
spread rapidly, and large crowd con-
gregated in front of one Of the hotels
to express their delight at getting rid
of the plant. A brass band was pressed
into service, and speeches were made
by prominent citizens.
On Aug. / s. G. Blatchford took pos
session of the municipal electric plant
installed by the village Of Kansas, Ill,
in 1900. The mayor writes that the
plant was sold "to clean up our in
debtedness." The plant had been in
the market for year before it found
a purchaser, the sale having been Or
dered by vote Of the citizens. A
diSinterested citizen wrote as follows
last February:
THE principal cause for dissatisfac-
tion with public ownership was inef-
fclency or, you may say, economy.
THE affairs Of the plant were at
tended to until recently by three-now
One-members of the board Of trustees,
who received no extra pay for their
services and therefore were not as at
tentive to the business as If it had
been their own or they had been prop
erly paid.
"The man in charge Of the mechan-
ical part Of the plant is an engineer,
but not an electrician, more than one
might be who works entirely by rule
Of thumb.
"The bad service deters people who
would otherwise patronize the plant
from using the light. There is no sery-
ice after midnight. Although 1t Is gen
orally believed that all night service
and cheaper rates would result in q
substantial increase Of business, the
men in charge hesitate to take the re-
sponsibility Of making the change.
which might be losing venture.
ELECTRICITY has almost been dis
placed in the business buildings by
gasoline, owing to the cheapness and
being generally more satisfactory than
the electrics under city management"

The growth of small Wisconsin city
made it very desirable to erect a high
school building, but the citizens voted
down the necessary bonds because it
was felt that the Indebtedness recently
incurred for constructing a municipal
light and water plant was as much as
the people wanted to pay interest on
at present. This is typical of what is
going on all over the country. Cities
are pawning their credit to invest in
utilities which can be operated better
and more economically by private en-
terprise instead of reserving it for
true municipal purposes-schools, play
grounds, parks, paving, sewerage, etc.
The result is that city development is
checked, health is jeopardized and edu-
cation is hampered because cities ind
1t more interesting to invade the field
of speculative business than to provide
properly for the more commonplace but
important functions of city government.

about one foot apart in the row. Save
only the largest and best canes. The
width Of the rows may be two feet
with a space of four feet between
them. Keep the ground clean with
cultivator and hoe and the soil stirred
about the plants.
Keep in mind the tree form when
pruning. Pinch of the top when the
cane is about four feet high. The lat
erals will then grow, and you will have
bush something like tree pruned to
vase form. The laterals should be cut
back to one or two feet in length, and
the new growth will then make bush
of sufficient size to make a large crop.
Tender varieties that must be laid
down in winter should not be so
pruned. Blackcap raspberries and
blackberries require more room be-
tween the plants in the row than red
raspberries.
Cultivate, If possible, until July, then
place heavy mulch Of strawy manure
between the rows to retain the mois-
ture and furnish plant food. Set posts
four or five feet high. Nail two pieces
of board about two feet long and four
inches wide horizontally on the posts,
one at the top and one about three
feet from the ground. Nail smooth
fence wire to the ends of these boards
or arms to support the canes.
The plan described for ,raspberries
and blackberries may be best adapted
to general culture, but there is another
by which the finest dessert fruit may
be grown. Set the plants about seven
feet apart each way, allow only three
or four canes to grow in a hill, set
three posts around these in the form
of a triangle and nail some wire around
them for support. Make the soil rich
and cultivate both ways with cult-
vator. In May Of each year keep back
all of the new canes except three or
four Of the strongest for next years
fruiting. Give clean cultivation until
July, then mulch between the rows.

In consfernation.
"Yss.. replied the man.

the pretty neighbor.

on. 81 Vas afraid I'd have to go with

"Goedhy?" asked the girl, her. face

YES" the man went on, Pm going
away. My train leaves at noon. You
may never see me again"
"Why-why are you gOing?" STAN
mered the pretty neighbOr very woe
fully.
The man looked up at her quickly.
There's nothing for me to stay here
for" he replied without animation,
evidently not finding what he hoped
In the girls face. ..
I'm sorry" said the girl finally.
She extended her hand. In silence
he shook it. Slowly she went toward
the gate, When she was almost there
the man called to her.
I'm a brute" he decla-ed contritely,
''fOr letting you think for a minute
that ia ever really let a factory be
erected here. Since you love the gar
den 80 you've right to know that the
man who has bought 1t is your father.
He will not disturb 1t for some time
not for the present at least"
"Oh" cried the girl. For moment
her face was radiant, then suddenly it
went sad again.
wouldn't yOu-won't you come back
some time and visit my fathers gar
den" she asked.
mo, Ill not come back" the man re-
piled. TIT would hurt too much.
GoOdby."'
"GOOdby," repeated the girl and
slowly went through the little iron
gate, across the street to her home.
Several, times during the next hour
she looked at the clock and involunta-
rily sighed. The morning was going
very fast, 1t seemed. Faster and fast
er the time few on toward noon Pres
emily 1t was 1890, then 10:45 and then
II o'clock.
When the morning reached this
point the pretty neighbor was sudden
ly galvanized into action.
Good gracious"' she cried, jumping
from the chair where she had been en-
deavoring to read a book. Good gra-
cious, he may be gone, and haven't
found out where he is going"
Without more ado the pretty neigh
Dor raced out Of the house and across
the street to the little iron gate. The
gate was locked! Wildly she tore
around, the wall to the great front
gate. Through this she ran up the
shady. curving path to the big house.
Suddenly, as ut high speed she bore
around q particularly sharp curve. she
pumped. right into the arms Of the
man. The latter, when he saw that
1t was the pretty neighbor, dropped the
suit case he had been carrying and
drew her closely to him.
Dear. dear sweetheart" he cried, II
simply can't leave you! can't do itv'
He hugged her SO tightly that she
fairly gasped for breath. However, the
pretty nelghbor had enough breath left
to gasp a reply-a very faint reply.

head into his coat. Don't go. It's not

den I'm in love with. It's you"

the big, hurrying city was lst on the
other side of the wall.
From the summer house she saw the
man come out. In one hand he car
ried big white board In the other u
bucket Of paint and Il brush. When he
reached the pretty neighbor he placed
the SOard against the wall and with
out a word took up the brush.
What are you going to doT" the girl
asked somewhat tremulOuSly.
Paint" answered the man lacOnlc-
ally.
With fascinated eyes the girl watch
ed him as the letters grew under his
brush. Across the top Of the board he
painted in big brutal letters the words.
"For Sale"
The pretty neighbOr caught her
breath as the cruel sentence, fiaring
red, stared at her from the board. Un-
derneath these words the man worked
industriousIy for little time.
While he worked the girl gazed back
at the garden with tear dimmed eyes.
Wheu he had finished the man gave q
little sigh of satisfaction. The girl
looked at the sign again and gasped,
"For Sale it read This Garden.
Suitable For Factory. Apply Within
to Martin Connor"
"You-you aren't going to nail that
sign up, are yOu?" questioned the girl
perilously close to tears.
Sure" calculated the man.
The man picked up the sign, holding
it awkwardly to save his clothes from
paint, and, with the bucket and brush
in the other hand, again went toward
the gay little summer house. He whiS-
tied as he went, but the girl, who fol
lowed, with difficulty stitied her sobs.
At the summer house the man de-
posted his painting utensils and &C.
cured hammer and nails. Still whlS-
tling. he led the way through Sc
cluded little iron gate to the street.
Once outside, the man carefully nail.

work was finished he stepped back q
bit to admire it. The girl, who had
watched the proceedings, cried out al

Then the pretty neighbor, frantically
dabbing at her eyes with an absurd lit
tie handkerchief, ran across the street
to her own home.
When the pretty neighbor awOke the

was to be sold! She shuddered as she

A moment later she was at the win

opposite. Her heart gave a little
