BEAUTY IN PRACTICAL FORM
Roadside Fruit Trees Produce an An. nual Revenue of $6oO to
 the Mile.

Where the roadside fruit trees are most successfully grown and the con- ditions are more favorable, the re- turn from the fruit which is gathered by the public authorities and sold at auction, has reached $500 to the mile. Where the yield is only fair it is nev ertheless we'll worth while as a source of income
 In addition to this money return the roads are made extremely attractive. In the spring they are lined for long stretches with trees covered with blossoms. In the summer and espe- cially in the fall, the fruit growing and ripeaing is nearly as interesting and attractive as the blossoms of spring And all through the season for foli age the highway trees are nearly as useful a, any other trees would be for shade
 1t is true that pears, apples, plums and cherries do :lot grow on trees which attain such dimensions as the finest naples and elms which shade American streets and roads and some fruit trees are too short lived to be available. That is emphatically true of the peach. But in this coun- try the well-shaGea country road is the exception. not the rule. By far tLA greater payt of the typical American highway is devoid of shade trees.
 In every such case to plant and care for fruit trees. preferably apple trees because they grow to large size and because they have thick. fine poliage which they retain until late in the fall. would be clear gain. It would not be a substitution but an addition of great interest and value.

TIPS ON WINDOW GARDENING
Some Points the Amateur Will Find of Value in Helping His
 to Success.

Here are some points in window gardening that it is well to keep in mind. The amateur will find them of unusual value in guiding him to sue cess until he has learned what to dc and how to do it for himself Keep nail or an old fork at hand, and stir the soil of your house plants as regu larly. as you stir that of the garden plant. With no weeds to spur us on we are apt to forget that the earth must be kept loose and friable to ad init air.
 Pinch the terminal buds from the geraniums when they have reached the proper size and induce them to become thick and robust in growth.
 Always keep all decaying leaves and flowers closely cropped. They are {: useless drain upon the plant. Never drop them upon the surface of the soil. They are unsightly. and form a hiding place for insects.
 Some of the cacti. the agave and other subtropical plants require rest during the winter, and should only have water to prevent drying.

Municipal Laundry,

Cincinnati has recently opened a municipal domestic laundry where poor women of the tenement districts may take the family clothing and dc their own washing with the aid of the most up to date machinery. Thus all the modern laundry mechanisms are brought within reach of the poorest families.
 The equipment includes enough DOW. CT washers. differs and electric irons to accommodate 500 family washings each week and the city is preparing to build more laundries of like nature The idea originated with the Board ot Health, which was quick to recognize the sanitary advantages derived from removing clothes washing operations from the living and sleeping rooms of the tenement dwellers.-Popular Me. chanics.

City Buildinu,

There is but one plan upon which we may build beautiful cities. We must have commission of architects. landscape gardeners and a few ad. vanced thinkers from the ranks of bus. mess to devise public improvements with a view to beautifying the city. Then let the city take up these plans seriously. and no matter how slowly. do every piece of work entered upon in strict accordance with these plans Slowly but surely the development of beauty and fitness will come, and in the end the model city will surely un. fold. We are almost criminal in that we continue to inaugurate various fun. damental public improvements with. out having the Identification of the city in mind.

Dcst,, Claims r. {. Gillespie.

Rufus c. Gillespie, a pioneer citi-
zen of Texas, an exConfederate SOL
dier aud well known resident of
this city. died this morning at IL :15
O'Clock at his home at Bray's boule-
ward and Harrisburg road. The de-
ceased had been in failing health for
some time and his death was not
wholly unexpected.
Mr.. Gillespie was born in Tazewell
county, July 10, 1885, and was II
years of age. He came to Texas be-
fore the war and located near Fort
Worth, later moving to Kaufman
county. In June, 1869, he married
Miss Annie Walker, of Kennett, 30. g.
and five children resulted from the
marriage, all of whom were at the
besdide of their father when lac lass
ed away. MIR. Gillespie enlisted
from Texas iu the Confederate army
and gave the Southern cause loyal
service for period of four years. He
was wounded at Gettysburg. Return
ing to Texas he continued to make
his home in Kaufman county until
1896, when he moved to Bienham.
Five years later the family moved to
Houston. 1t was the request of the
departed that he be laid away FOR
his final sleep in coffin of cadet
gray, without decorations, and that
the usual emblems of mourning be
omitted. Born of revolutionary stock,
descended from men who fought and
died at Kings Mountain to establish
this republic, one of those who
fought with Lee and Longstreet for
the integrity of the States, carry ing
with him to the grave scars of
Gettysburg, he faced without ninchng
the pale rider of the white horse.
Through many years he had been Il
soldier of the cross and he looked
forward confidently to seeing his
pilots face when had crossed the bar.
