Damascus claims, with very good
reason, to be considered the oldest city

much what it was before the days of

has martial and sacred associations
extending through thirty centuries.

Plan to improve Vacant Lots.

A variation of the rather familiar
custom of offering prizes for the most
improved front yards in a town is the
offer of prizes for the greatest i'm
provement in vacant lots. This improve,
ment to include cleaning up and plant
ing grass. flowers or vegetables. The
plan is being tried this year by the
Salem Ullj Civic league, and, very
wisely. the terms of the contest do not
require that only the owners of such
lots shall compete. Any one who can
obtain the use of vacant lot may en-
ter the competition. This Will undoubt-
eddy mean the improvement of great
many lots.

CLEANING OF STREETS
Demonstration by Michigan Wo-
men OF Effective Methods.
CHEAP AND NEAT SYSTEM.
How Kalamazoo Was Hygienicaily
Swept Under Directions of Rev.
Caroline Bartlett Crane-ChiIdren'
Efforts Enlisted.

Swept Under Directions of Rev.
Caroline Bartlett Crane-Chidren'
Efforts Enlisted.
Kalamazoo, Mich, is city of only
about 10000 inhabitants, yet in many
respects it has attained to such cor
rect civic department as indicates
careful bringing up by hand by the
Improvement league that the Rev.
Caroline Bartlett Crane organized. 1t
is the vital needs of the heart and
lives of the community that are
reached.
The league looked on the streets Of
Kalamazoo and saw that they were
not hygienically swept. How should
men know how to sweep anyway?
The men of the city government said
that they were cleaning the streets as
the streets always had been cleaned
and it must be right. But the women
said no; that they would show them.
The city council was asked to give
over to the league six blocks Of the
main street for a period of three
months, together with the approprla-
ton usually expended on this strip Of
pavement.
The plan was agreed to. Then 1t be
came noised abroad that the women Of
Kalamazoo were going to conduct this
demonstration of right street cleaning.
And the yellowest journals of Chicago,
the nearby metropolis, began to focus
the trained machinery of their ali
searching stats on the little town,
The women grew nervous in this
glare of the limelight of publicity, but
under Mrs. Cranes direction the ar
rangements progressed. 1t was Colo
mel Warnings New York system that
was to be introduced. The white
wings" were uniformed and all equip
ped with new broOms and little carts.
Then, at the eleventh hour, the women
who had been assigned in squads of
two to act as inspectors of the work
one after another rang Rev. Mrs.
Cranes front door bell With one ac-
cord they began to make excuses.
There were sick babies and uneXpect-
ed guests and the ever useful husband
who refused to allow it.
SO that the league that really cleaned
the streets was mostly Mrs. Crane. At
first appalled, by the prospect, she new
ertheless stood to her guns when all
but one Of her faithful lieutenants had
fed
The yellow cameras got her, but
at the end of three months she had her
reward. The city adopted the system,
for she had done for S. what had pre-
viously cost $3.50 a day, and she had
proved that sweeping by hand was bet
ter than the machine sweeping that
sent clouds of dust and disease into
the houses To complete this demon
stratiOn of neatness in municipal
housekeeping methods the league pur
chased and placed on the street cor
ners galvanized iron cans for the re-
ceptiOn of waste paper and refuse.
And they enlisted the efforts Of the
children to keep the streets free from
litter by organizing in the schools jun
ior civic improvement leagues with
a badge declaring Il VIII Help."-Ma-
bel Potter Daggett in Delineator.

EDUCATION IN CIVICS.
Urgent Need of the Cultivation of
Good Taste.

We have urgent need of more educa-
ton along civic improvement lines. We
of the present generation are getting
we'll to the fore, It we need to stamp
the Importance of the subject indeli-
bly, upon the minds of the young.
What we want to do is to teach the
children taste, get taste into the child,
get taste into the household and then
finally taste into the community, and
when we have done this we need not
fear the results.
The lack of taste in the community
generally is an unfortunate fact, not
withstanding our grand school system,
and may be attributed in large degree
to the failure to appreciate its neces-
sity by our educators. Reform in
many branches of public improvement
would be far easier of accomplishment
now had the children of the previous
generation been trained in the funda-
mental principles of taste, the power
of perceiving, approaching and discOV-
ering beauty and excellence. The more
we consider the curriculum Of our pub
lie schools the more we perceive how
it could be improved to meet the
changing conditions of our American
life. Our children need far more than
the three Rs to fit them for citizen
ship as it is dawning upon us. The at.
mosphere and appurtenances of the
schoolroom should tend to impart cul,
ture and taste, which in turn are trans
feYred to the home and thus minister
to he general upbuilding.-Los An.

work upon the book he seemed OPP
pressed by some secret anxiety.
There was q knot in his forehead
all the time" said Mrs. Hawthorne.
Finally one evening he went to her
and said that he had written some
thing which he would like to read
aloud. The work amounted to very
little, but still he would Ike to read it.
All that evening he read, but as the
romance was unfinished at bedtime his
wife made no comments, knowing that
he disliked criticism until one had
heard the whole
The next night he read again. and
now her suspense grew so unendura-
BILE that In the midst of a moving
scene she sank from her low stool to
the floor. pressed her hands to her
ears and declared that she could not
bear to hear It,
Hawthorne put down the manuscript
and looked at her in amazement.
do you really feel it so much?' he
asked. Then there must be some
thing in it,
The next day the manuscript was
delivered to the publisher, and on the
following morning James L. Fields,
the publisher, appeared at the authors
door. When he was admitted he
caught the little boy Of the family in
his arms and asked, You splendid lit
tie fellow, do you know what a father
you have?"
He lad sat up all night to read the
manuscript and had posted out to Sa-
lem il. the early morning. After his
interview with the publisher Haw-
thorpe came downstairs with a firm
step and walked about, his face ilu-
mined by new hope and vigor The
world had found him out Recogni-
ton was at the door.

The annual banquet of the Saturday
Night club was held at Masonic hall
last night. The Saturday Night club
is a peculiar literary organization. 1t
has been living for twenty-six years
and it's members include business and
professional men. It is a club similar
in many respects to the Gridiron club
of Washington.
Last night the gridiron was the
scene of one the greatest battles of
sarcasm, humor and oratory ever held
in the history of the club. Men who
have obtained national and internal
lions; regulations cast their shadows
back and forth between one goal post
and the other, men who have been as
ISOLATED with Kansas for years and
years and who have grown up with the
people as a part of the state, men who
have Constituted and organized the
greatest and most effective political
business interests and others who have
won fame by the penal these men
swayed back and forth across this
slippery gridiron making bucks of
ironical thrust, end runs of flashy re-
torts, dashes of oratoricaI effects and
touchdownS of real brotherly Kansas
love and loyalty.
From the time the whistle was blown
for the first play to the final whirr of
the presidents farewell the evening
was one continuous round of hilarity.
There are only twenty-five mem
bers of this famous organization. This
is. the soca11ed Chosen Few" number
twenty-five without the list of honor
airy members-the men who have been
invited to speak before the club and
who have "made good"
Banquet Begun Early.
The club members and guests filed
into the big banquet hall about 1880
o'clock. Behind the screens in the
front of the hall was hidden a large
orchestra and as the strains of music
issued from the unseen quarters the
guests followed the directions of a
chart near the door and found their
place cards around the big banquet
table. And it was one big banquet
table. The scheme was in the form of
a mammoth 49, which extended from
one end of the room to the other. The
first point started near the main en-
trance and it wound around the center
of the hall to the rear. The sight was
an unusual one-more than one hun
dred men in evening dress, laughing
and talking on both sides of a huge
letter which curled snakelike from one
end of the hall to the other.
The hall was decorated in red, white
and blue. An American flag covering
the entire back wall extended across the
rear of the room. The pillars down the
