After keeping up a tirade for many
years against the billboard nuisance it
is very pleasant to note in numerous
towns that some drastic measures
have been taken looking to the curtail-
ment of this most offensive eyesore.
The vacant lot is another problem,
with or without the billboard. Ash
heaps, piles of tin cans, broken dishes,
baling wire, old bed springs, broken
carts and perambulators, bottles with
out number and castoff shoes are a
few of the decorations noted in vacant
lots of some of our towns. Neatness
is indicative OF cleanliness just as
surely in the case of a municipality as
with individuals. While it may cost
a little to secure this cleanliness, the
cost of maintenance of a high stand
ard would be very little, and assur-
ance of such desirable conditions could
be brought about by the passage and
enforcement of suitable ordinances.
Neatness has its own reward, for, aside
from improved appearances, decided
menace to health Is removed. The
value of cleanliness to the city beauti-
full movement is simply incalculable.
Beautiful surroundings have a decided
effect upon the character of our lives.
Clean characters come only from clean
conditions and clean surroundings.
That town is not desirable place Of
residence in which many evidences are
Seen of slovenly municipal housekeep-
ing. Uncleanliness is not a valuable
asset to towns progress.

Descendant of Lesuraues Petitions
Government for Annuity.
Nine. Behagne, an impoverished
widow past middle age, who earns a
slender living by manual labor, has,
by a somewhat naive petition to the
French government, reinyested the
old story of The Lyons Mail" with an
interest something like that Of actu.
ality the Berlin correspondent of the
New York Times says.
The most popular compendiums of
history relate how a man named Jo-
seph Lesurques was guillotined in
1897 as one of the several highway.
men who killed the post courier trav-
cling between Lyons and Paris and
robbed him of letters and packages
containing some millions OF francs. It
was afterWard proved, at least In pop
uiar estimation, that Lesurques was
innocent. This fact was made the
basis Of one of the most successful
melodramas ever played.
Nine. Behagne, who claims to be a
lineal descendant of Lesurques, de-
clares that a perpetual pension was
established about 1863 by Napoleon
Ill for each successive eldest female
member of the Lesurques family, and
that it now ought rightfully to come
to her. She says it is only $50 year,
and was last received by her great
aunt, who died in an almshouse,
Yet she also asserts that it was
granted as consolation to the descend
ants of Lesurques for the coniscation
OF property said to have yielded an
income of $2,400 year by the French
government in 1897.
Apparently Nine Behagne believes
her own story, but officers of the gov
eminent whose duty it is to investi-
gate have stated that there is not the
slightest documentary proof OF any
such pension ever being granted.
No one knows the exact spot in the

in the Courier de Lyons affair, was
buried after his decapitation but a
monument was erected to his memory
in the cemetery by his widow and

Besides its permanent inscriptions,
the monument has borne from time to

human justice. The government, feel

has repeatedly caused their removal
The revival of interest in the story
Of Lesurques. since the publication of
the claim of his great-great-gr |
child, has led to a renewal of the pill
grimages to the monument which were
popular in the early part of the last
century.
