PAY WELL AS AN INVESTMENT,

How Kansas City Has Profited by It's
Parking System-M ethods For Towns
to Adopt In Securing Parks-Why
Attractiveness Pays.
The old idea Of parks was that the
are luxuries and are chiefly for tho
who had time and taste to enjoy the
beautiful. A city or town that couiu
afford parks was regarded much in the
same light as rich man who pos
paintings, statuary and other works
of art. These were obtained chiefly to
crafty the pride of the owner or t.
crafty the taste of the family and
friends capable of enjoying such things.
Soon it was seen that parks not only
furnished pleasure, but greatly in
creased the health and happiness Of
the people and improved the social and
moral conditions of the communities
says ]. r. Baker in Farm and Ranch
l could easily demonstrate this fact,
but we have not time here, nor do

evident. Granted, then, that parks
parkings, clean streets and everything
else that goes to make up the City
Beautiful do add much to the pleasure
happiness, morals and health of the
people, are these not reasons enough
to inspire every city, town and village
to go to work at once TO secure these
things? But l shall pass over all these
good reasons and consider for a mo-
ment the commercial side of the sub
ject. From the standpoint of the dol
lar parks do pay, and they pay big.
Kansas City is a notable example of
what has been done in the last few
years. Ten or twelve years ago the
people there realized that almost moth
ing had been done to beautify their
town and attract the home builder
and business man. They quickly adopt

STOCK PERISH IN FIRE

Ten Mules and Horses
Die in Flames and
Feeostuff Lost.

Eight fine mules and two horses, six
hundred bushels corn, besides hay
oats and other feedstuff, together with
the commodious barn on Mr.. ]. c.
Carter's home place near Americus,
were consumed by fire at an early
hour yesterday morning The fire
was discovered shortly before mid
night, and was too far advanced to
permit of the release of the mules and
horses, whose cries of pain and agony
could be heard above the roar of the
flames. The barn was large and we'll
built one, and beside the livestock
contained about six hundred bushels
corn, besides hay, fodder and other
feedstuff sufficient for the years
work. ThG3 property loss is between
$4,000 and $4,000, quite likely, and is
complete, as it is understood that Mr.
Carter had no insurance upon it. This
is the third barn burned near Ameri-
Gus by incendiaries recently, all of
them involving great loss Of live
stock and property and not o1P of

AN EVENT OF INTEREST

The music lovers of Americas
were given a rare treat Tuesday even-
ink at Miss Bells studio, the occasion
being the song recital by Mr. Horatio
Connell, baritone, who fully justified
the enthusiastic praise accorded him
by European and American critics.
His voice is full of sweetness, re-
sonan2e and power, is admirably con-
troled and used with taste and skill,
revealing his keen artistic sensibilities
and his clear conception of the dra-
matte requirements of his songs.
The program was well selected, Civ
ing the versatility of the singer great
scope, and displaying the ease with
which he ranged from the classic sim
plicity Of Haydn to the ultra-modern-
ism of Harry Farjeou.
One of the numbers most enjoyed
by the audience was the aria, 20 Thou
Sublime Sweet Evening Star" from
Wagner, which was rendered with
great earnestness and tenderness.
