The Science of City Building

There are certain cities, big and small.
that are deserving the Topsy method of
just growing. They are being gently and
pushed along toward great
ness. To use an invidious metaphor,
they are picking factories from their
less wakeful neighbors and planting
them in their own towns; they are caus-
ing the transfer of hundreds of millions
of dollars worth of business from the
somnolent cities and. in this time of
reforms. are boasting of their remarka-
BILE progress in population.
The way the thing is done may be
aptly Illustrated by the manner in
which Poughkeepsie obtained an auto
mobile factory. The secretary read in
a newspaper that an Italian company
was thinking of locating a factory in
this country. Without waiting for the
owners TO have a chance to look the
country over and decide for themselves,
the, secretary bounced upon them and
talked Poughkeepsie, talked it hard
and convincingly. He invited them to
come up and see the place, and when he
got them there took them all over the
town, showed them the schools, the
churches. the parks and worlxingmen' S
houses. told them about the railroad
facilities and rates. Then he took them
to the very spot that he had picked out
in advance where they could build. He
pictured the factory to them, pointed
TO the homes their men would live in,
told them how low the taxes were, and
how heaithful was the air When they
went away the visitors had every good
point about Poughkeepsie throbbing, in
their heads in a hundred different forms,
and consequently they straightway
came back and built their factory in
keepsie.-HaTper's Weekly

Gypsy Song

The wind, and the sky, and the sun.
And the open trail and free,
A staff and a packard One
To take to the road with me-
over the hills that lure,
Under the trees that sway,
Laughing, and strong, and-poor,
Out on the wander way!
The wind, and the sun, and the sky,
A star-strewn vault at night,
And two hearts beating high,
Athrill with an old delight
Out from the fret of the town,
Free of the ties that gall,
Venturing up and down
Under the wander thrall
The sky. and the sun and the, wind.
And One on the road fare,
Slender and gypsy-skinneJ,
My gypsy ways to share.
Life that is void of stress.
Love that is leal and true;
The roaJ--and the winds caress,
Sun and the sky-and you'll

June 49, 1854 Detachment of Indiana Volunteers Under
Col. Lew Wallace Made Raid on Romney, Va, Which
Was the Subject of an Interesting Official Report

Fifty years ago today eight compa-
800 men, under their colonel. Lew Wal
lace, made a picturesque march through
the mountains of what is now West Vir-
ginia, and raid into the town of Rom
ney.
Aside from the rapidity Of the march.
the raid had few features to command
attention. since there was no formid-
able resistance on the part of the Con-
federate force encamped near the town;
but two circumstances connected with
it rendered It notable.
The one was its effect on the strategy
Of the Confederate commander of the
district invaded. Gen. Joseph E. John

warmer for her than for other folks. and that
she might get some Of the dimes that the
women who wanted to keep cool had to pay for
tescakes. She PIT 2 dozen ~ her SAMPLES at
the grocer's and the first Friday she had orders
for eight dozen. There isn't great deal OF
