LINE RIVER WITH BEAUTY
Cities Along the Mississippi Are Build
ing Attractive Water
Fronts.

Cities that line the banks of the Mis-
sissippi, all the way from Keokuk to
Memphis, are running a race" to out
do each other in identifying the water
fronts.
The river terminals of the small city
today are not even surpassed by those
Of the metropolis. River walls and
driveways, flower beds and shady
promenades now grace the landings of
the more progressive river cities in
Missouri and Illinois.
Cape Girardeau has announced that
it proposes to surpass even the Mound
city for a beautiful levee. That an
cient city sits on a hill blessed with
natural beauty, and the union of two
slopes, one from the north and one
from the south, form a picturesque
water front.
But Cape Girardeau isn't satisfied
with natural beauty alone. 1t is go
ing to improve on nature. Promenades
and driveways will run the full length
Of the city along the river, and sand
wiched between them will be flower
beds more than a mile long. 1t is
said that Cape Girardeau will have one
of the finest and probably the prettiest
river front along the Mississlppi.-St
Louis Republic.

COUNTRY TOWNS ARE NEEDED
It Is of Mutual Benefit for Farmers
and Tradesmen to Stimulate
Home Trade.

The local merchant Is not only a
necessity, but a benefit to his commu-
nifty. II there were no country towns
and no country merchants the whole
fabric Of our system OF trade in the
agricultural states would be changed.
1t would be in%convenient for farmers
to send to distant points for every
thing needed and would, on the other
hand, be impossible for them to do
efficient long-range marketing of their
produce.
Town property and adjoining farm
lands are increased in value through
the prosperous, extension OF town trade
and the building up of towns in CEN
ters of thriving sections. 1t is there
fore of joint benefit for farmers and
tradeemen to work together for the
stimulation of home trade.
Farmers cannot be expected to pat
ronize home trade from motives of
sentiment only. If they can get better
service, including personal inspection
Of the goods before buying and the
guarantee to replace them or correct
imperfections, they will find it more
satisfactory than the alleged advan-
tage Of buying Of the catalogue houses.

two girls had never gone to school.
Their mother, herself, had conducted
their studies until two years ago,
when she had engaged a resident gov
rness of whose principles and refine
ment she thought she might be con
fident.
AS the months passed she watched
her husband more closely, and, with
her whole nature, shrank from his
weakness and from what she now be-
gan to fear were his gross sins. Look
ing at her girls, she wondered that
she had been able through all these
years to guard life and speech 30
carefully that they suspected none
Of their fathers Inconsistencies and
sins. In spite OF her distrust of him
she felt at times a throb almost like
gratitude to him for helping her con
ceal from his children all knowledge
Of his doubtful habits.
People have a way of declaring that
there are certain courses that they
would pursue, and Of finding
themselves suddenly confronted by
COuulllOub IudJ put u uoW ldSO upOu
these resolutions. Such a time came
to Louise Marshall a year after the
Christmas when she and her husband
had quarreled about Miss Drayton.
Tom announced one morning that his
sister in Baltimore had written ask
ing him to run on to see her, and
that he had decided to go on the fol-
lowing day, Friday. His wife approved
cordially of the suggestion. 1t would
do him good, she said, to have a day
or so with a member of his own family
who loved him as much as did his
only sister. To herself she acknowl-
edged that she was glad to know that,
during Toms absence, he was to be
in such safe company. He went as
planned, assuring Louise and the girls
that he would be with them again on
Monday evening.
On Sunday afternoon a cousin of
Tom Marshalls called at his house,
and Louise explained to him that her
! husband was out of town

WARNING TO AMERICAN LIFE
Seen In Congestion, Usllness and Dis
comforts Of the Average Eng
lish City.

II h English city presents in its
congestion, its ugliness, its discom-
forts, a horrible warning to Ameri-
can life, experiments like that at
Hampstead present a hope and an in
SEPARATION and a way Of avoiding the
urban evils which followed in England
the mad deluge Of the Industrial revo-
luton. For the chief value of build
ing beauty into the collective life
Of a city is that thus the ideas and
principles which animate that beauty
are given the most effective and dra-
matte form. Every n can feel the
charm Of open spaces, Of effective Wis
tas and the harmonious grouping of
buildings; a village like Hampstead
attracts immediate and widespread at
tention, and becomes the leaven which
leavens a broad lump. Though it is
the external form and not the inner
spirit and motive which are being
copied, already in the countryside
about the village are to be seen the
inspiration Of the model; new build
Ing estates are being developed in the
frankest imitation Of the Hampstead
principles, while pioneer rows of I'M
regenerated brick villas stand tenant
less, unable to compete with the new
idea. And If a village composed on
these principles can permeate its own
vicinity SO quickly and so complete
ly, it almost guarantees itself as a
model and inspiration for the build
ers of the cities which men of the
twentieth century will find fit to live
in.-Randolph s. Bourne, in the At
lantia
