Encouraging Civic Beauty.

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. "a
F. F. Collins, a director in the San
Antonio Civic Improvement League
and owner of extensive artesian well
gardens south of the city, has an
nounced his purpose of giving away
thousands of trees and shrubs to be
planted by the people of San Anton
10 in their home yards. These gifts
are not for the wealthy. nor yet for
the very poor, but for the person
who owns his home having valua-
ton under $500, as this is the citi-
zen, in Mr.. Collins opinion, who
takes the greatest pride in the ap-
pearance of his place. Mr.. Collins
has made the following announce
ment:
beginning February l, any per-
son who comes to Collins Gardens,
who owns his own home the valua-
ton of which does not exceed $4,000
will receive free shrubs and trees,
Mr.. Collins has been giving spe-
cial attention for several years to
the cultivation of choice shrubs and
trees, mostly for his own enjoyment,
as he receives a substantial income
from rents, and he has a splendid
collection that, distributed through
out the city, will add much to the
| beauty of the yards.

las Man Who Disappeared on
Christmas Day.
Despite the fact that every effort
has been put forth by members of
the family and the police and detec-
tives who worked on the case some
time, no trace has ever been discov-
cred of e. H. Cothrum, who disap-
peared on Christmas day. Cothrum
was a well known employe OF the
city, and worked for number Of
years in the sanitary department,
driving one of the sprinkling wag-
ons. On Christmas day he was
known to have had quite little
money, and it was claimed that he
told some friend that he intended
to go to Little Rock to visit some
relatives. That was the last known
of him.
Several days after his disappear
ance a bloody hat was found in
box car at Waxahachie which it was
thought might belong to Cothrum
The blood-soaked hat was brought
here, and while it was of the size
and style Cothrum was known to
wear, it was finally decided that it
was not his hat, as it was new, while
Cothrum was wearing hat when he
left home which he had worn for
some time.

A romance Of the oil fields and the
newspaper business had sudden but
decidedly termination at 1880 o'clock
this morning when Col. w. II. Peck.
oil editor Of the World and one OF
the best known writer's in the Mid
Continent field, married Miss Celia
Won Behren, very popular young
business woman of Tulsa.
The ceremony took place at the
cozy new home of the couple. with
Rev. John w. Kensit. Of the Grace
NJ e. church officiating. Two close
friends of the bride and groom and
few members Of the World editorial
staff were the only guests.
The unique hour at which the we'd
ding took place was the result Of the
groom's desire to evade any marked
attention from his many friends In
the oil business, which would have as
suredly been his lot had he taken the
fateful step at another time.
