" HELPS
CHANGE WROUGHT BY GARDEN
Experiment by Mine Official Demon
strates How Much Good There Is
In Beautiful surroundings

Grace Tabor, one of the department.
editors of the House and Garden, says
that there is an intimate connection
between a man and his garden. She
was describing the early gardens OF
this country, those of the Spanish set
tiers In Florida, the Puritans in New
England, the Dutch in New Amster-
dam and the cavaliers and Quakers
in Maryland and Pennsylvania. But
no matter what the nationality or he
style involved, a true garden reflects
the character Of its maker. She spoke
truly, as any visitor to the formal
terraces Of Mount Vernon or to the
democratic lodges of Monticello will
agree. But II a garden reflects its
makers temperament, it is no less
true that often, a garden influences 1t.
In one Of the American trade pub
locations there recently appeared a
story told by the general manager OF
a coal mining corporation at Weyan-
oke, w. Wa settlement In the dis
trict sorely afflicted with industrial
conflicts. He saw that the average
man worked short hours and rarely
put In full time every month. This
idleness was not voluntary, but came
about in the regular course Of the
work. Idleness added to the discon-
tent, so he hit on the idea Of intro
ducing into the mountain region the
small garden system SO proftably
practiced by the laborers Of England.
He tried to induce his men to utilize
their spare time in c~ultivating gar
dens, and offered prizes for various
kinds of vegetables and flower plots.
At first the miners viewed the pro-
posal with suspicion. One or two won
the prizes. The next ear the change
was remarkable. Out of 225 men en-
ployed at the camp all the heads of
families had started gardens. And
splendid specimens they were, full OF
luscious small fruits and crisp, fresh
vegetables. The women frightened
their lives by sowing flower seeds.
No matter how garish the color-it
was color, and color frightened their
hard lives.--IndianapOlis News.

Hanging eardun In Minneapolis.

The work of the committee on hang
ing gardens of the Minneapolis Civic
and Commerce association has been
in evidence throughout the summer.
AS a result of the activity of this COM
mittee more than 1900 feet of window
boxes were installed by downtown
business houses. and 105 of the orna-
mental lamp poses were decorated
with vines and flowers, a y Town De
velopment.
The association attended to the wa.
tering OF the %lamp-post boxes. and the
renewal of faded and dead plants.
Frequent comment upon this custom
has come from summer visitors, and a
large number of inquiries have been
received from cities throughout the
country with a view to the adoption
Of a similar plan in those cities. And.
by the way, by the end of the pres
emit year Minneapolis will have had
100 conventions.

MUST LOOK TO THE FUTURE
Proper Planning of All Towns
Compulsory.

The last legislature of Massachu-
sets, by two brief acts, made city
planning compulsory for every town
of more than 10000 population and for
every city. A large measure Of home
rule is provided by the law, since the
local governing bodies-city councils,
commissions or town meetings-win
determine the number of members in
each board, the rate of paymentfnr
services and expenses and other ad-
m~inistrative details. Statewide unity
will be given to the work by the su-
pervision of the Massachusetts home
stead commission.
Under the law the first task given
the local boards is to make a compre-
hensive study of the resources, TNssi-
bilities and needs of the community.
This provision means that In the
course Of a comparatively brief time
each city and town affected by the Law
will make an adequate social survey.
City planning under the Massachu-
sets law is a very human thing. First
emphasis is laid upon the ordering of
the municipal activities, both public
and private, so that the health and
welfare of the Ia dividual will be d-gn-
served. All city planning, of courSe.
has this human end for its ultimate
aim. The Massachusetts law makes
this human end not only ultimate but
immediate.

suddenly flashed through his mind.
Won H~olzrath, the soul and cunning in
spiration of the league, distrusting
Clothilde, had merely pretended that
the prince had been kidnapped, in or
der that she might reveal the story
and spread the rumor, they incidental
ly throwing his enemies off their
guard. Paul had not credited the man
with SO much originality. In the
midst of these rumors, which would
doubtless be communicated to King
George, who would believe the
princes own story that he had spent
the night quietly at home, when the
newspapers would be full of his night
adventure in the Cafe Celestiel?
Truly Won Holzrath had hit upon a
cunning scheme, and one which far
transcribed the vulgar vice of kid
mapping the heir apparent.
Paul's resolution was made up in an
instant. He must hurry back to the
Cafe Celestiel, acquaint Clothilde with
the truth about the affair, and force
her, by any means in his power, to
accompany him to Lord Claude's
house and there reveal the details of
the conspiracy.
The Cafe Celestiel was still brill
liant with lights, and the band still
played, but the cafe itself was almost
empty. A few newcomers lazily sip
ped their absinthe there-shabby
folks, night birds, journalists and
writer's who kept irregular hours,

For a fraction Of a moment he felt
her hand in his, and then he knew
that, whatever the part which she
must play, her love was his. Some
day, when all their sufferings were
ended, he would take her home with
him, to dwell in peace and quiet for
all their lives in his own land,

nothing to do but to walk. SO he
strobe through the endless streets,
crossed the Seine, and then proceed
ed through a mean region Of little
shops. while from time to time the
pealing of the city clocks indicated
the swift passage Of the hours. It
was nearly two before he stood at
last in front Of the old chateau in
which the prince was harbored.
He knew his rooml 1t had been
indicated in many a diagram and plan
in many a newspaper. 1t overlooked
the avenue, and now Paul, standing
directly under It, perceived that there
vas a light in the princes window.
And, as he looked up, straining his
eyes to catch a clearer glimpse of the
figure behind the curtain, suddenly
the window was thrown wide open
and the youthful fgure~of the prince
looked out.
1t was Prince Edward! There was
no mistaking him! None could have
mistaken that characteristic figure,
that bright, English face, the profile
it was the prince complete, even down
to the fashionable coat SO often por-
trayed.
AS Paul watched the prince turned
round, the curtain fell, and the light
went out.

chase, and the true explanation of it

Paul sprang to his feet in horror.
A duel! Clothilde, in a boys garb,
engaged in a fencing bout with the in
furiated young man who had been
ruler of Portugal!
He made his way drunkenly to-
ward the corner in which he and
Clothilde had sat. A scrap of paper
was lying upon one of the chairs.
Paul opened it mechanically and saw
a scrap of writing upon 1t. He read:

their differences.

NEGRO SPEAKS ON
 THE SERVANT GIRL
Duty Toward Negro Girls Who Are In Service

James E. Mccall of Montgomery, a young negro student of social problems, who conducts the uplift and social serv- ice work among the negroes carried on by the Union Mutual Aid association of Mobile. of which F. First Johnson is manager, made a strong, forceful and timely address before a large audience of white and colored people at the Sixth Avenue Baptist church last night in which he placed special emphasis upon the duty of the better element of ne- groes towards the girls particularly who were in service. He upheld the opportuni- ties before the negroes. showing them that had been remiss in their efforts 'to better the conditions of the girls of the race who had to work for living and that the girls were feeling the neglect. He stoutly maintained that 1t would seri- ously affect the welfare of the race, both internally. and in the opinion of the white people. who would be largely in- fluenced by the servant class of negroes with whom they came in contact.
 An effort had been made by w. B.. Driver, district manager of the Union Mutual Aid association to get a large number of white people out to hear Nc Call. and also to have the white citizens suggest to their servants that they should attend this special service The address of the young negro student whfcn was a feature of the weeks exercises incident to the celebration of the sixth anniversary of Rev. John w. Goodgame, was made all the more interesting by reason of the fact that he is totally blind, and carries on all Of his work in this direction with that physical handicap. He is a cohstant writer on such matters and has made a study of the position of the negro servant girls.
