An Incomplete Landscape.

/ Mr.. kreezus, tia multinailhonaire,
was entertaining a friend at his ele-
giant country home. II was born and
brought up in this neighborhood, .
he said, E'and when l was a boy I
used to think what a fine thing it
would be to have a house on this
hill. It is the highest point Of
ground, You will notice, within a
circuit OF several miles, and the
view from here is extensive.'
"It is magnifcent!' exclaimed
the visitor.
"Yes, and when the time came
that I could afford it ! gratifed my
boyiSh ambition by buying the land
round here and putting up this
house,
II have been in great many
places and I have never seen finer
landscape than this.''
"That's what I used to think, but
I don't like it now as we'll as I did
when I was a boy.'
"What makas the differeneea"
"It isn't complete -
"Not complete? Why you own
the landscape, don't youe"
"That's the trouble. 7 own all Of
it but that 80-acre patch over there
beyond the creek, about six miles
away. The old curmudgeon that
owns it won't sell it to me at any fig
ure.'
And Mr.. Kreezus sighed disnally.

An Appeal to Magistrate Chappell
Which Touched Him and he
Acted Promptly.

Magistrate Chappell, few days
ago received a communication which
was not signed, and while 1t IS 40:

ymous communications this one ap-
pealed to him so strongly that nc
thought it worth while to investigate
and he did and found the facts as
stated by this correspondent. lie
acted Immediately and in twenty
minutes after the letter was receiv-
ed he was at the place and the board
ers referred to had received walking
orders and were departing. He IN
formed the proprietor, colored Wo-
man who lived just outside the city,
if the matter was called to his at
tention again he would have her IN

The letter was addressed to Mag
strate Chappell and Constable c. G..
Blease. The writer apologlzed for
writing letter without signing it
BAT said she was a woman, and did
not want to get before the public,
but that she was a mother and had
a boy she loved and she thought
this boarding house kept by this
colored woman was a menace to the
young manhood Of the community.
The house is outside Of town and
therefore beyond the jurisdiction Of
the city authorities and she there
fore appealed to these two officials.
The letter continues: II wrote: a
letter to the sheriff just like this
one a few days ago, and he has paid
no attention to it, and I now write
you because I heard Mr.. G. B. Gro
