BEAUTY IN FRONT YARDS.
How to Plant Shrubbery For an Orna-
mental Effect.

How to Plant Shrubbery For an Orna-
mental Effect.
If you wish to help in making your
home town attractive, improve the
front yard with some shrubs.
For a small front yard where it is
impracticable to plant trees there is
nothing better for ornamental effect
than few well placed shrubs. Once
planted and established in the soil
they require little attention except in
spring, when they should be pruned
back so as to keep them symmetrical.
In planting shrubs much will de
pend upon the layout Of the lot
and its topography. 1t is easier to
spoil an effect than it is to obtain Il
good one. 1t is Il good plan to get
the advice of a competent landscape
gardener If you can't. study your
yard and it's possibilities thoroughly
before you set out a shrub. A plain
greensward is far more desirable from
an artistic standpoint than Il lot lit
tered with a miscellaneous collection
of shrubs placed without regard to
harmony in the general scheme.
For q small yard among the best
shrubs. aside from the roses, are the
hydrangeas, of which there are several
varieties. some dwarf; the honey
suckles, Japanese SNOWFALL, barberry,
rose acacia, Irish yew, Catalpa bungii,
Magnolia conspicua, Magnolia souIan-
giana, Japanese cypress and the many
varieties of evergreens. The ever
greens, however, appear to better ad-
vantage in roomy yards.
Then there are the white and purple
lilacs, Japanese ounce, Syringa grandi-
fora. althea Jeanne dare, pure white;
Deutzia graellis and the azaleas. These
shrubs are hardy, rapid growing. at
tain large size and bear beautiful flow
ers. The azaleas should be given a
northern exposure and be well pro-
tected in winter.
Many of these shrubs will be found
growing in the park shrutberies, and
those who have friends among the park
gardeners can obtain valuable advice
from them about the planting and care
of shrubs

Accidental Shooting at Dubuque
Fair.

Galena Gazette, Sept. %: An unfor-
tunate accident occurred at Dubuque on
Friday afternoon at the fair grounds
which resulted in Chris Madden being
probably fatally shot. Madden and
William Fox, who was officiating as
special policeman during the fair, were
conserving near the stables when Mad
den pulled Fox's gun from the officers
hip pocket. The act was done in play
and in the friendly scuffie which fol-
lowed when Fox tried to get the gun
the weapon was discharged, the bullet
entering Madden's breast about four
inches below the heart. He was taken
to the home of his aunt where he was
attended by physician. The wound is
a bad one and fears are entertained for
the outcome. There were four or five
in the crowd, all friends from boyhood,
and that the affair was an accident is
unquestioned.
Later-The wounded man died.

To Name Episcopal Pastor For
University Students.


The Episcopalian diocese of MiIwau-
kee will install a pastor at the Univer
sity of Wisconsin to have special charge
of the welfare Of students Of that faith,
as soon as the funds necessary for his
support are available. The announce
ment was made by Bishop W. W. Webb
before the annual DIOCESAN council,
when he stated his belief that the needs
of Episcopalian students at the state
university had been to long neglected by
their church.
The Congregational, Presbyterian,
Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist and Metho-
dist churches have already installed
student pastors at Madison, who devote
their entire time to work among the
students. They have bound themselves
together in a University Pastors Asso-
citation. In order that they may be of
service. in a religious and social way.
throughout the state, the association
has issued a prospectus of addresses,
sermons. and lectures which. the mem
bers are prepared to give before church
es, conventions, and religious confer
ences. They will be assisted by pro
fessors from the university faculty,
graduate students, and upperclassmen
of ability

GAS TANKS AND TOWN BEAUTY
Louis Heaton Pink's Views on Their
Proper Location.

Proper Location.
The Consolidated Gas company of
New York few years ago erected a
large gas tank along Riverside drive,
shadowing Grants tomb. There WAS
opposition from the press but nothing
was done. The FiatbuSh Gas company,
a subsidiary of the Brooklyn Union,
recently completed 4 tank 191 feet in
diameter and 23T feet high in Flat
bush, in the borough OF Brooklyn. This
is the highest structure in the borough.
1t stands in a region of homes and i'm
mediately adjacent to the Kings Coun-
ty hospital and other public buildings.
1t has taken away from many the
equity in their homes and is blot
upon the landscape for miles around.
The public service commission was
first appealed to by the property own
ers and civic associations of Flatbush.
but it decided that it had no jurisdic-
ton. Two suits for an injunction were
brought one by the property owners
and one by the city of New York. The
city was defeated at special term. and
recently the appellate division dis
missed it's appeal with scant courtesy
on the ground that an offense to the
sight cannot be Il nuisance. This is
not good logic and should not be good
law. If such structure unreasonabIy
destroys the comfortable enjoyment of
property 1t comes within the definition
of nuisance. No one of the senses

to be hoped that the court of appeals
will have opportunity to pass upon
this question.
American cities were formerly con-
cerned only with growth. Now they
are placing their energies in develop
ment. Eyesores such as this, destruc-
tive of property and the beauty of a
city or town, should not be tolerated.
Gas tanks and all their kith and kin
should be placed not where it is most
economical, but where they will do
the least harm. When erected in Il
city or town they should be built of
moderate height. The "skyscraper"
tanks are unnecessarily harmful. If
the courts will not protect municipaIi-
ties against such invasion adequate
laws should be at once enacted. In
England tanks may not be erected
within 300 yards of a residence with
out the consent of the owner and oc-
cupants. In no continental city can
tanks be placed without regard for
public welfare. The location Of gas
works and tanks should be subject to
the approval of the public service com
mission, and the consent of owners of
houses used exclusively for residential
purposes within a prescribed distance
should be required. We guard resi-
Dental sections against saloons by
such a law. Who would not prefer n
saloon as Il neighbor to a huge gas
tank ?-Louis HeatOn Pink in Survey.

Profitable Shade Trees.

A stranger visiting Tallahassee, Fla,
is surprised at the great number of
pecan trees found in the wards. gar
dens and on the streets. They are
everywhere, and thousands upon thou
sands spring up every season where
the nuts are washed by the rains or
dropped by the birds, which feast upon
them If these trees had been budded
with merchantable varieties when
young they would now be producing
thousands of bushels of the finest nuts
annually, but of even these inferior
varieties Tallahassee sells hundreds Of
dollars worth each year.
