CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT

In going about town this spring
you have doubtless noticed the in
crease over last year Of the number
of well kept lawns with their lux
uriant shrubbery and wealth of roses
and flowers. Nine years ago when
the writer came to Emmett there
was very little of this sort to brag
about. But since then there has been
d continual improvement and this
city is being transformed from one
of the ugliest to one Of the prettiest
in the West.
The reason is that the owner Of the
small home is making it a point to
have beautiful yard. Honeysuckle,
The Virginia creeper and the Rambler
rose climb up his porches, beautiful
roses of varied colors are everywhere
in evidence, and he clips his grass
with a lawn mower. He is parking
the front of his lots and planting
shade trees that will be a benedic-
ton to the passerby. The example is
spreading from one block to another
until within the next few years the
whole town will be a garden at this
time of the year.
Incidentally, what do you suppose
the influence of this orderliness and
beauty has been and will be on the
character of the men and women of

In a certain Kansas town the Ep-

adopt series of "yells" much after
the fashion of colleges. So we may
expect something like this:
Hippity hop; hippity hop:
Rah for Moses; he's on top.
Then from another part of the Sun

Hold it, hold it-Joseph's coat;

MEETING ON THE LEVEL.

In the lodge room we do not ask

quire what he is. We do not ask him
what his father has done: we simply
ask him if he is ready to do the work
that falls TO him, we do not ask him
whether he has received diploma
from some institution of learning,
we simply ask him if he has studied
the science of "How to |. ve;' if ne
recognizes the ties that bind him to
mankind We do not ask him how
many acres of land he possesses; we
ask him whether he is possessed of
the spirit of brotherhood and whether
he counts all as entitled to the helps

fly the world; it teaches the spirit OF
brotherhood.-W. j. Bryan.

The red-faced man, bare-headed on

all they needed was leader now.
Thus, foot and horse, they faced about
and cheered and followed Sheridan,
eager enough now that the tide had
set, now that their pulses ran athrill
once more. to show him how nobly
they could atone the mornings rout.
Rowand, the famous scout, years af

either side, and as we rode along there
was Just one great roar OF cheers"
AS they came pouring back they |
could scarcely be restrained while the /,
lines were formed again; Sheridan,
bareheaded still, the black horse glis-

front of the battle line. Out of the
ranks a man cried:
General, where will we sleep to-

"We'll sleep in our old camps to-

the Shenandoah this summer
Near Winchester, the county seat O.
Frederick County, LOO acre trac
of land has been set aside for theil
exclusive use. This place of cavalry
maneuvers, is famous because it was
here that Gen. Phil Sheridan made
| his famous ride-tbe ride that turn
ed the rout of Cedar Creek into a
Union victory--made Sheridan famous
and brought this youthful Irishman a
commission as major general.
OF course, there have been WISE
acres a-plenty since that time who
have risen to remark that 1t wasn't
really twenty miles from Winchester
to the battle front; that the black
horse wasn't fiecked with foam, and
a few years ago a retired army Of
ficer, presumably suffering from govt
and an improving crouch, insisted
that the ride didn't have any real eff
feet on the battle, anyhow. But his
tory pays small attention to these
folks; the plain facts being that II
il had not been for that thrilling dash
from Winchester the army of the
North would have suffered very
real disaster
Sheridan, famous already for his
swift, daring raids, had left the
Army of the Shenandoah camped at
Cedar Greek in October, 1864, while
he went to Washington. Returning
the night of October Is, he slept in
the town of Winchester.
That night Jubal Early, Confeder
ate leader, was bringing an army
stealthily down by unfrequented
trails among the hills upon the two
TANKS of the unsuspecting
army He made his attack in the first
gray of dawn, and it was terribly eff
fective, too Seven hundred men of
General Crooks division were taken
prisoners in the first fifteen minutes.
The rushing gray lines were surging
over the Union camp before the
form for battle. Fed
eral guns were captured and turned
against the federal camp, and General
Sheridan, fifteen miles ay,awoke to
hear the dull roar of artillery.
At first he fancied the artillery fire
was part of movement he had order
ed-a movement to "feel out" the
enemy. But by the time breakfast
was finished the general was not so
sure; this sounded more like real
,attle. SO he ordered his black horse
Rienzi saddled and set out himself |
or Cedar Creek.
Sheridan rode slowly enough at
irst. Very soon however, he came face
o face with hurrying men in blue, the
of general retreat. 1t did
lot take him long to learn the story;
