The Garden City Telegram Tells The
Kansas People What Canon City Is
Doing. Quotes Mrs. 7. vi. Harding

Fran Garden City Telegram:
The Telegram has long believed ir
the City Beautiful and that nothing
could give Garden City a wider and
more desirable reputation than civic
Improvement.
That is why the Telegram has
stood for years for the present park
policy, that finally resolved itsel1
into municipal park system, with a
city park commission, resulting in
beautiful East and West parks, and
making Garden City the only small
town in Kansas to have such mu-
nicipal park policy.
The Telegram has believed, too, in
a civic improvement league. or bu-
reau of the Industrial club with all the
work there remains to do in the town
ment lines. There are the little MICH
es and odd corners to be cleaned up,
greened up, made into slightly places; !;
perhaps another little parklet or two:
the Inauguration of an official clean
up day; clean streets and alleys; en-
couragement OF treeplanting and
flower-growing; the education Of
school children; the observation of
Arbor day; and a hundred other
things.
II has recently been the pleasure of
The Telegram to gain some informa-
ton concerning how one town, not
much larger than Garden City, does
these things. This is Canon City,
Colorado, a scenic point, the beauti-
full little city at the head of the Ar
kansas. Recently a boost dinner was
given, and Mrs. T. NJ. Harding. a
woman OF much ability and inspiring
force and personality. read a little
paper on what had been done. and

development of the crop during the
subsequent months. While existiih
prices are not as good as had gener-

there is reason to believe that the de-

more satisfactory figures will pre-

TO the earliness OF the season than

mitted the daughter of the house.
What is his full name, papa?"
"Wilfrid Stennis."
Does he spell it with an i or with
an 'e?"
With an i'-W-i-l-f-r-i-d Rather a
well-sounding name-dont you think
SOP"
"Oh. it will do" said Clara indifer-
emily
There ensued a silence of some
minutes duration. both father and
daughter being occupied with their
private thoughts yet it was even bet
ting that each was thinking Of the
same thing.
Suppose we invite him to dinner
some nght?" suggested Mr. Passavant
at length; "just by ourselves, you
know. Then you can take his meas
ure and-er-er-form your own esti-
mate of his possibilities"
This was precisely what the sche-
ming Clara had been leading towards,
although she knew full well that,
man-like, her father would probably
claim credit for the idea should the
experiment turn out well.
"As you please, papa. Shall we
say week from next Wednesday,"
The sooner the better, my dear"
And so Wilfrids social fate was set
tied.
In the privacy of her own room that
night, before she slept, Clara Passa-
want went to her dainty escritoire and,
taking pen and paper, wrote several
times in a dashing, bold hand the
words Mrs Wilfrid Stennis," scan
ming the sheet at arms length, Then
she tore the paper into shreds, laughed
softly to herself, and proceeded to
make her quite elaborate toilet for
the night
Almost at the same hour another
equally interesting episode of talk was
in progress amid far different sur
roundings, and yet the subject was al
most identically the same, the actors
only being different.

The benefcent Sugar Trust adver-
ises to sell its sugar at two and haii
cents per pound If you propose 10 take
it to Europe and four and half II you
consume 1t in the United States. In
the face of this fact every family In the
country IL called upon by the Aldrich-
Payne tariff law to pay on an average
of eight dollars for the protection for
this infant industry from foreign com
petition. Should we not all be patriots
and love our country which lays us
under tribute to the Spreckles aud
Havemeyers to the amount Of eight
dollars each year that they may grow
still richer?
The people of the country are taxed
about the same amount the benefit OF
the Armours, the Swifts and the Cud-
ahys, the meat trust while the trust
is shipping their meats to Europe and
selling them about five cents per
pound cheaper than they do to the
people at home after paying the rail
road and ocean carrying charges. Is
not that blessing to the poor people
OF the country? Is not that great
prosperity for the consumers of the
country?
There seems to be no use in protest
ing and objecting for the more object
ing there is the higher goes the price.
Even while the people in the great
cities of the country were, as they
thought, boycotting the Meat trust a
few months ago and were trying to
break the trust by refusing to eat
meat the trust only laughed and push
ed up the prices. They will continue
to laugh as long as they have their
friends, the Aldriches, Paynes and
Cannons to write the tariff laws of the
land. These fellows lay upon the
backs OF the people such burdens
while they refuse to put tax on fifty
cents a barrel on beer on which there
is not less than five hundred per cent
profit and which does the people who
consume it more harm than good.

was, | am happy to say for your sake,
very wealthy man. | had the honor
to draw his last will and testament, in
which he named Mr. Passavant and
myself as co-executors. The estate
will foot up at $4,000, 600 partly in
paying mining properties, but mainly
in cash and available securities. Be
sides this principal, there is also a
yearly income, at the present market
values of silver and copper, Of some
thing like 100000 Your uncle's will
makes you sole legatee. and it be-
comes our very pleasant duty, Mr.
Stennis, to congratulate you upon your
good fortune. From what we can
learn of you personally, | have no
hesitation in expressing the opinion
that this vast wealth could not have
fallen into better hands"
Both partners rose to their feet at
this peroration, and each grasped a
hand OF the dumfounded Willrid, who
stood speechless before them, saying
never word vainly essaying to
moisten his parched lips. Then he sat
down, saying piteously
I'm afraid ! don't quite take it all
in, gentlemen! You must give me
time to realize the news"
oh. you will soon get used to the
situation, my dear sir" said the bland
and beaming Passavant, with a return
to his fatherly manner.
Surely" echoed Mr. Carboy, with
a compassionate smile, You will be
one of the richest young men of the
age-twenty-tive millions in realty and
yearly income of a million besides!"
1t was more than poor Wifi could
comprehend at a moments notice.
With these words ringing in his ears
he staggered out of the office and
gained the street, there to walk it
off"
