PARKS AS
MONEY
MAKERS
Madison, Wis.,, Finds Them a
Profitable investment.
Kansas City Invests
$10,000,000.

Some of the citizens OF Madison.
Wis, few months ago thought that
Wis, complained a few months ago
that the city was spending too much
money for parks and Fairgrounds,
and the council appointed a commit
tee to investigate the question as to
how much the assessed value Of prop
erty within the city limits had been
increased by these improvements
during the last 16 years.
The investigation was one OF the
most thorough OF the kind ever made
and the committees opinion is that
from 10 to 10 per cent Of the in
crease in property values within the
period mentioned was due to the es-
tablishment OF parks, drives, play
grounds and open spaces.
But the committee was able to
show the value OF parks as an invest
ment in a more impressive way. The
total increase in property values
since since 1898 was s12,239,s7S.
The part OF this due to parks, at
.12h per cent would be $1,529,9s4.
on the basis OF the 1908 tax rate this
part Of the increase yields the city
an income OF $23,S14 annually.
The annual cost OF the parks, In
clndlng interest on the Investment,
appropriations for maintenance and
salary OF landscape architect, is St3,-
707. Therefore the city has an au-
nual income due 70 the city parks,
over and above the expenditure on
their account. OF S10,107. The city
is making considerable money out OF
It's parks.
This is typical Of the experience
that many other cities are enjoying.
Il Is the soundness OF the investment
that has led Kansas City to spend
$40, 100000 for parks and boule-
wards
At the same time the people get
inestimable benefits from the Inn
provements in the line OF things that
make life worth living. including the
wholesome enjoyment and the pro-
motion OF health.

concluded to quit coffee and try it.
II was delighted with the change.
I can now sleep we'll and seldom eve

strong and ! can eat without suffering
afterwards. I think my whole system

After the Rev. John Mossum had performed
the ceremony that united the pair the gay
cavalcade formed that was to wind us way
hack to the white house." where the feasting
and merrymaking was to take place. Inc
newlv-made Mrs. Martha Washington and her
three bridesmaids were placed by gallanI
hands in the finest chariot in Virginia, drawn
nv six white horses. These were driven py
nostilions in livery, each man driving a span,
one of which he rode. When with much clanK-
ing and jingling of bells the procession start
cd the groom and all his assistants and the
q company sprang to saddle and formed the
escort with outriders and followers and gal
1ants vieing with one another for position by
the carriage door.
The week of gayety that followed culminat-
ed with a visit to the house of burgesses, tnen
in session in Williamsport, and a member Oh
which Col. Washington had recently Deen
chosen. The young officer was quite the hero
of the hour. for he had returned from the
wars laden with honors and his personal soclal
COMMUNISTS had been climaxed by his marriage
with Mrs. Gusts, whose popularity was VIDE
spread. But on the visit to the house OF bur-
gesses the young officer was entirely put 10
rout and overcome by his great modesty.
With Col. Washington, his bride and the
entire party occupying seats OF honor IN the
legislative chamber, the speaker, Mr.. Robinson,
arose and presented a note framed by the
house expressing the appreciation OF that Dooy
of Col. Washington's services in the warmest or
terms. The speaker grew grandiioquent In MS
nraise of the young officer and bridegroom, ana
when he had closed his remarks Washington
arose to respond. He was greeted by storms
of anplause and became SO confused that when
he was given an opportunity to express his
annreciation he could but stammer unintel-
1igibly and find no words in which to express
himself. The speaker came to his relief and
closed the incident by saying:
sSit down, Mr.. Washington. your modesty
eouals your valor and that surpasses the pow
er of any language / possess
After the wedding Washington remained
for three months at the White House on his
wife's estates, and thence accompanied by her

mansion by the Potomac, which has since be-
come historic.
Washington was a man of wealth already
in his own name, for he had acquired much
land in his mapping and surveying OF the
country, and the estates on the Potomac were
in themselves valuable and yielded annually
handsome returns in tobacco.
Col. Daniel Parke GUSTS, the first husband
of Mrs. Washington. had been a son of the
kings counselor and a man of wealth. upon
his death he. had left to his wife and two chill
dren his landed estates and e45,0OO in cash.
This latter was in itself a stupendous fortune
at that time, when money had a purchasing
power many times as great as at present
Two-thirds of this was held in trust for the
children, but sufficient of it went direct to
Washington to make him one OF the Wealthlest
men in America at that time.
The even tenor of the life of quiet which
filled the next II years at Mount Vernon is
shown in the frequent passages in the diary
that Washington kept, beginning with the new
year following his marriage. In all that grace
and hospitality of those days Martha excelled
and they said in Virginia there was no place
like Washington's as a social center. There
we're almost always to be found as guests the
Fairfaxes. the Lees, the CuStlseS, the F1tZ-
hughs and others whose names live, not only
in the records of those days, but also to-day as
typical OF the old aristocracy of the colony.
Washington in his diary on the first anniver-
sary of his wedding fails to recall any par
ticular significance OF the day, as he says:
"The chariot not returning in time from
Col. Fairfax's we were prevented from church.
Mrs. Washington was a good deal better to-
day (she had the measles), but the FISHERMAN,
still continuing his disorderly behavior at my
landing. I was obliged in the most peremptory
manner to order him and his company away,
which he did not incline to obey until the fol-
lowing morning"
A little later he writes, wrapped up in do
nestle affairs:
Got a little butter from Mr.. Dalton and
wrote to Col. West for pork" And again:
aVisited at Belvour a day, carrying DR.. Craik
with us, who spent the evening there Later:
eKilled IL more hogs, which were bought by
Mr.. French Visited my plantation,
severely reprimanding young Stephen for MS
Incidence and his father for suffering It"
On the whole Squire Washington and his
bride after their wedding dropped into that
form of life which most appealed to him and

From this home on the Potomac and from
his wife's side Washington was called to be-
come commander-in-chief of the American ar
my in the revolution; to this home he returned
when the struggle was won; and from this
home he was again called as the first president
of the United States. Again he returned to
this peaceful spot, forever apart from public
life, to pass the few remaining years in hap
piness with his wife, never to leave it until
death beckoned him away.
And from this home on the Potomac, where
an obscure grave held the remains of the great,
est man of his time, from amid the scenes
of her happiest days, of days of honeymooning
and days of strife, the spirit of Martha Wash
ington was called.
Washington with the colonial army was
campaigning in the far west fighting the In.
dams and the French, and in a lull in the
fighting he made a dash for the capital at
Williamsport. When within a few hours ride
of that town he met casually Maj. William
Chamberlayne, an old time cOmrade-at-arms
and bosom friend. The major urged that the
colonel turn aside, as dark was approaching.
and spend the night with him.
Maj. Chamberlayne insisted and as a final
inducement said that the most charming wild
ow in all Virginia was visiting at his planta.
ton and that her charms were well worth the
delay. WITH some pdIley, IL Is IeCOIueu, WdSu-
ington agreed to turn aside for a brief stop,
saying that he would ride later at night.
That night Bishop, Col. W~ashington's huge
and faithful negro body servant, kept the
horses saddled and ready for a continuation of
the journey through the night and was only
occasionally awakened from his nodding by
the sounds of revelry from the mansion, for
there was a large house party being enter
tanned and the spirit of the vital new country
ran high.
Certain it is that the sun was rising when
Washington burst from the house, vaulted into
his saddle and spurred on to the capital with
out having closed his eyes in sleep that night.
Certain is it also that no sooner had his
business been accomplished than he responded
to an invitation sent him from the white
House" ON the Pamunky river and that por-
ton of Virginia knew him almost constantly
through the months that followed.
Certain it is that when he returned to his
command In May, 1858, he did so with the
promise of the widow Custis that they should
be married and that as promptly as he could
be relieved from duty on the frontier.
