 Helps
BOOMING THE HOME TOWN
Citizens Must Work UnceasingIy and PersistentIy to Build up
 Their City.

The reason why some towns grow is because there are men of push and energy in it who are not afraid to spend their time and money to boom their town. They erect substantial buildings, organize stock companies and establish factories. secure rail roads, work for public improvements, and use every means in their power to locate people in their city. Wher- ever they are, they tell of the ad- vantages of their city; they write about them in every letter, they send circulars and newspapers to all they think they can get to visit the city, and when anyone visits them, treat him so kindly that he falls in love with them and their city at once. It is enterprise and everyone pulling together that makes a progressive town, and don't let the fact escape your memory.
 To hear every person saying some thing pleasant about it's people and it's interests is the surest, quickest way to make town attractive to stranger. One of the best ways in which to make a town attractive with that sort of attraction that will draw other people to it is for every man and woman to have a pleasant word for the people and the town generally. Talk up your town if you would have it do well. Talk up your town if you would have others come to you. Talk up your town If you feel an interest in it, and would have it's people feel an interest in it, and in you. There is no better way to do it. And many a time one little word of unpleasant reference to something that does not exactly suit you, and does not particularly concern you for that matter, will turn some good mans influence away from your town and even drive him away. At your own fireside talk up your town. Among your neighbors talk up your town. The right kind of talk is the most potent agency ever set in mo- tion for helping your town.-Welling ton (Col.) Sun.

CITY OF CONCRETE
Kingston, Capital of Jamaica, Is
 Completely Restored.
Buildings Are as Nearly Fireproof as It Is Possible to Make Them New City Is Immense
 Improvement.

Kingston, Jamaica.-Kingston, the city which was wrecked by earth quake and ruined more completely by fire in January. 1907, again takes its place as the largest city in the West Indies outside of Havana. The work of restoration is almost complete, and although a few vacant sites remain unocupied the principal shopping cen ters and the residential area have all been built up. The new Kingston is an immense improvement upon that which went to pieces in the catas- trophe, and there are still works of public improvement to be underta- ken.
 Almost without exception the new store buildings are of reinforced con- crete and are as nearly fireproof as To- cal conditions have made it possible The principal streets are adorned by colonnades, some of a very imposing character. In King street all the pub lie offices have been brought together in one block; and another similar block is about to be erected. The architect of these blocks of buildings is Sir Charles Nicholson, who came specially from England to Jamaica to study the site and prepare the plans. The first block has cost S400,000. There is a sense of public disappoint- ment at its appearance. For one thing, it is not regarded as being as attrac- tive as a building of its kind ought to be. The government authorities, how ever, profess themselves to be quite satisfied with the results and propose to have the second block built along identical lines.
 Public gardens and open spaces adorn the principal section of the city, the sites of these having been acquired by the government at considerable cost, much against the wish of the taxpayers. The results have, however, more than justified the expenditure, and Kingston is today more of a tropi- cal town than it has ever been before within modern times.
 The government buildings and the splendid structures of the Bank of Nova Scotia have served to alter en- tirely the appearance of King street from the sea northward. The harbor front has been completely restored and there is now talk of a sea wall or esplanade being constructed, not only to facilitate shipping, but to serve as a driveway or promenade. Plans are also under consideration for the con- struction of new park to covsr about forty-five acres of land.

GUINEA HENS ARE ANNOYING
Neighbors Simply Will Not Endure Longer Screeching of Fowls
 Vary Tune Nightly.

South Norwalk, Conn.-Two hun. dred calliope lunged guinea hens owned by Miss Sarah L. Davenport of Wilton are now giving nocturnal con certs to the great annoyance of Miss Davenport's neighbors, whose protests last spring forced her to get rid of 300 dogs.
 Affairs have come to pass now where Miss Davenport's neighbors will extend the freedom of the city to the dogs if she will only consent to chase the guinea hens.
 In desperation, residents of Wilton. a short distance from here, have asked H. D. Ogden of New York to dig up a law which will force Miss Davenport to gag her pets between sunrise and sunset It was MT. Ogden who pro- cured the court order prescribing capi- tai punishment for every one of Miss Davenport's dogs, but when constables went to execute the order the animals had been shipped beyond the danger zone.
 Soon afterward Miss Davenport es- tablished vocal conservatoryfor ambi- tious guinea hens and at the present time she has 200 promising perform CTS, mostly sopranos, under her care. They change the opera every night and on Sunday night give an extra performance.
 An old law has been resurrected which makes it a misdemeanor to har- bor any beast or bird that cries, whines, cackles or barks during sleep. ing hours, and the chances are that the guinea hens will be asked to show cause in few days.
 Miss Davenport is one of the most in teresting women in this part of the state. Of a distinguished family, pos sessed of great wealth, she tired of travel and settled on a large farm in Wilton about twelve years ago. She took a fancy to dogs, and soon had a fine kennel, which included Prince Leo, valued at $10,000.

 In company with her mother. Miss Bean was riding through the Blue mountains in an automobile. They found an unarmed man who had treed a bear and having tried in vain to lasso it was awaiting developments.
 Miss Bean stepped from the auto mobile and, taking careful aim brought down the bear with a shot through the head.

Betrayed by Tickling Ely.

Philadelphia.-Until a fly lighted on his face. Michael Halbert, 30 years old, seemed to be unconscious at Cooper hospital, Camden. Shortly after he was arrested on a charge of being drunk and disorderly, Halbert made a fake effort to end his earthly career by hanging from the iron bars of a cell with his suspenders. He was found by Policeman Clay, appar- ently unconscious, and hurried to the hospital.
 Doctors were about to bring the man to consciousness, when suddenly he brushed a fly from his nose, the tickling sensation having apparently annoyed him. He was returned to jail without further ado.
