Boots" :"

Without any knowledge of the war
fare being fought in behalf of himself
and his friends, an amiable young
bulldog, answering to the name of
Boots" has just laid down his life,
though not in the interest of science.
Indeed, it is to be feared that he
knew little or nothing about the i'm
mense blessings that have accrued to
mankind through hanging dogs up
by their hind legs, and then making
inquisitorial explorations of their in
nards. But Boots" did know his
little mistress-and loved her, too.
And when a big Colorado rattlesnake
sprang at the five-year-old child,
Boots" didn't have time to think, so
he just leaped between the reptile
and the little one, and took what was
coming. As to the outcome-well,
the snake was soon dead. Then
Boots smiled a few happy SMILES,
began to feel sort O. dizzy like, smiled
q few more times the best he knew
how, and passed in his chips. IN
good Old Colorado style, He douo
his d-dest''- the angsb n hsavsa
can't do more. Washington npGk

GARDEN THE HOMES INDEX
II Il 10 eeautified the Owner Must Get
More Enjoyment Out Of
Living.

The garden is an index to the value
Of any home-granting that the owner
lives on the place and expects to re-
main there permanently. Few people
refrain from all ornamental gardening
because Of mere cost-yet those few
are in evidence. To most of US there
Is something more than mere COM
merce and the commercial effort in
life. The man who beauties his gar
den and his surroundings generally
must in the very nature of things get
far more enjoyment out of living than
the man who has mo time for such
things" The latter see nothing to
admire In trees and flowers. but CEN
ters his entire energy on pursuit of
wealth. We have too many of this
latter class in Los Angeles or they
would note the barrenness of our
streets and make well-nigh universal
the demand for street trees. munich

make use OF the gifts Of nature so

ately to spurn a protfered aid.

GROWTH OF GERMAN CITIES
They Are the Product Of the last Gen
GRAFTON and Are Carefully
Developed.

The German city, like our own, is
the product OF the last generation.
Only its location. its traditions, its
royal palaces and gardens are old.
Dusseldorf had but 10000 people In
1871 II now has 100000. Frankfort
has grown from $4,000 In 1871 to 1885,
900 In 1905. Berlin was capital city
OF but 100000 in 1870: today It con-
tains 2.099,00 people. There are 81
cities In Germany with a population
In excess Of 100000 people. They con-
tain 12.000.000 people, or 20 per cent.
OF the population. while the total
urban population equals 49 per cent.
Of the total. The railway and the fac.
tory have created the German city as
they have our own. But Germany over
sees her growing cities as an architect
does q structure. The liberty OF the
individual Is not permitted to become
license to the detriment Of the com
munity.
Streets. boulevards. parks. open
spaces and sites for public buildings
and schoolhouses are laid out far In
ADVANCE OF the citys growth. Maps or
wide stretches Of open country. still
used as pasture land. may be seen In
the city hall. upon which are indicated
the streets, parks and building sites
all far beyond the city limits. To
this plan the owner must conform.
When he places the land upon the
market 1t must be done in harmony
with the city's plan. The orderly de-
velopment Of the municipality is the
first consideration. There can be no
wildcat speculation. no cheap and mar
row streets. no bodybuilding. Every
thing must be donesas the city wills.
BY this means the slums and the tene-
ment are to be exterminated. In Co
logne. for instance. rs per cent. Of the
land must be left vacant In the bust

not exceed four stories In height

Holds Literature cheaply.

The curious frugality of wealthy
amateur painter at Paris Is told In
the following story: A friend Of his
was one day visiting his collection OF
paintings. The friend duly admired
the paintings Of Boucher. Vatican.
Goya and others, for which the col
lector had paid from $4,000 to $780,
900. The conversation finally drifted
into literature. and the visitor asked
his host whether he had not yet read
the latest work of famous author
which had just been published. "Oh.
no." replied the art collector. Il am
waiting until It appears In a cheap
edition" He is quite willing to pay
$50, 900 for an old painting. but he OBJ
jects to paying more than twenty
cents for the latest sensation In liter
ature.

with brass ones "like mammals"
Flat, May 10, 1918.
Our trip home was much more
eventful than the one going. We saw
fresh footprints of elephants, wild
cattle and hogs, while monkeys got
to be very common; we came upon
them day after day. Rare birds and
beautiful flowers too delighted our
eyes. We passed through large tracts
Of forests which accounted for the
haunts Of beasts and birds in such
large numbers.
Rain detained us somewhat but our
thrilling experience came in crossing
rivers and streams at flood tide,
where bridges we're washed away;
some entirely, others in part. We
crossed twelve such. Where the back
water was not deep four men took me
in the chair, upon their shoulders
slipping and sliding as they went in
the deep places. was carried on a
natives back in one instance hanging
on for dear life for full quarter of
mile, while the man felt his way
slowly with a pole. | did not mind
dipping in the water, but the strain
Of hanging on for over half an hour
took all the strength out of me for
that day.
We enjoyed it but after several
weeks pulling up stakes and haphaz-
ard living it is so good to get home to
a good bed, plank floors and properly
served meals, to say nothing of the
news from far country which we
find waiting for us.
Sincerely,
Mrs. VIM. NJ. Dagger.
