One of those harry occasions which
sometimes come to brighten life's path

party of friends of Ex-City Marshal

ccllent service during the past year as
the chief of the Augusta police depart

brass smoking set and a handsome pipe
to go with it. The scene of the presen-
tation was Frank l.. buttons office in

occasion We're gracefully carried out
by Judge Benedict F. Maher of the Au

could not expect him to welcome him.
Before he bad his breakfast Col.

people that he would prefer to have
them read what he had written. rather
than what the mayor said about what
he Had written. T.
The colonel said the fact that the
city administration was not represent

him.

for himself.

nit this government sometime to re-
open the question of joint action as to
the decision and therefore declines to
comment upon it,
The treaty coasts involved are the
southern and western coasts Of New

the Labrador coast from Mount Joli

1878 around which the whole long
fought controversy evolves, declared
the United States right to Take, dry

to Dry and cure" only on any of the
unsettled bays. harbors and creeks on

The defeat of the Washington con-
tentions on the first point which in

here. The other lost ground concerns
the headland doctrine wherein the
British contention was that the three

mary line drawn across the mouth of
a hay from headland to headland.
The United States contended that

A PARK BUILDER.
A Man Who Spent Nine Millions for
Kansas City-Giad Of It.

The fact that the general offices Of
George E. Kessler, of Kansas City, con-
sist of just one room. long table. few
chairs, desk or two, and some drawers
for pictures, does not mean that George
E. kessler does not do things. For Mr..
Kessler is the man who made Kansas
City proud of it's bOulevards. There was
a time when Mr.. Kessler, maker of
beautiful cities, belonged to Kansas City.
Now he belongs to a greater part of the
United States.
Mr.. Kessler is a landscape architect,
but his field Is that of cities and not
that of isolated residences or a once-in-
awhile cemetery. In the beginning he
transformed Kansas City from a rugged
hilly, dirty town out in the west to that
pretty Kansas City," place of boule-
Yards and parks, Of Fairgrounds and
breathing spots. A ledge on the side of
a hill here, and pond in the lap of a
valley there-that is all Mr.. Kessler
needs to make a winding drive and a
beautiful lake. If the spot is level, then
it is all the easier for him to improve on
nature 49,.
There does not appear to be much of
the dreamer about Mr.. kessler, but just
the same he does dream. and those Wis
ions have resulted in giving Kansas City
one of the best park systems in the
country, remodeling the vacant and dirty
lots of Memphis into public gardens,
identifying Syracuse, New York, creating
butterfly metamorphosus for Indiana
polls and making and restoring the
worlds fair buildings of St. Louis and
then showing the city how to create a
boulevard system worthy of the size of
the place.
That Is not all. The natural beauties
of Pensacola, Fla, are being added to by
him. Fl. Worth, Tex, is being converted
into a city where visit would not be
complete without trip over the boule-
ward system. Kansas City. Kas., the lit
tie sister of the larger city on the Mis-
souri, side of the state line, is being made
to conform with the example of its neigh
| boring municipality. Workmen are

placing them with drives, flowers and
| shrubbery in many other cities

his parents noted that handful of
posies was much more effective than a
rattle as an amusement promoter. And
that flower episode is about the most i'm
portant part of his early history, except
that the family came to the United
States in 1866 and lived in New York,
where George Edward was educated in
the public schools. Then he was sent
back to Europe, where he followed out
his baby inclinations by taking special
| coures in engineering. forestry and bot
any. After that he came back to the
! United States, arrived in Kansas City
and announced that he was able to make
boulevard out of a dump heap. That
was in 1892. Now Kansas City has thir-
| ty EIGHT miles of boulevards and $500
