Wheeling yesterday were a number
OF visitors. who obtained n fair view

dreds OF boys and girls, engaged in
interesting amusements. Their com
mendation was enthusiastic. The re.
markable response on the part of the
children themselves TO this commend
able effort TO furnish them healthy
and legitimate amusement must make
us all feel ashamed that something OF
this kind was not undertaken years
ago. Where did the boys and girls
play when we had no public play
grounds? II We had no public play
grounds now. where would these hun
dreds Of children play il they played
at all? These are questions which
must touch the conscience of every
right thinking man and woman. No
more splendid work has been done
in this city in all its history than the
establishment OF these play grounds.
and no money expended has been
better expended than the modest sums
that have been used 70 open up these
play spaces TO the children Of the
town.

When your life is built and rooted
In the mere physical sensations OF
the moment. when the morning paper
