TIME TO THINK OF BEAUTY
Department of Agriculture Gives Good
Advice on a Most Important
Subject.

The appropriate use of trees, shrubs,
vines, and herbaceous plants in the
adornment of city, village, suburban.
or country home grounds gives a
charm and beauty which are interest
ing and pleasing to the passer-by as
well as to the occupant of the home,
says the u. S. department of agricul-
ture. Plants are a means of express
ing restfulness and beauty. Their
gradually changing aspect with the
succession of the seasons heightens
their pleasing effect and relieves mo-
notony. The changes which occur in
the life of vegetation during the year
have caused man to speak of the
stages of human existence as the
Spring" summer" and autumn of
life. The leaf, the branch, and the
flower, as well as the general form of
the plant, manifest a grace and beauty
which art ~endeavors to copy. While
art cannot take the place of nature, 1t
nevertheless plays an important part
in teaching us to see and appreciate
the beauties of nature.
Man should first provide for his ne
cessities, then for comforts, and final
ly for pleasures. In a new country such
as ours, the expenditure of time and
means for the adornment of grounds
has naturally received too little atten-
ton. The people have been necessar-
lily concerned with acquiring lands
and buildings. But a stage of devel-
opment has now been reached when
Americans should give more attention
to the establishment Of their home
grounds.

his engaging efforts and his pleasing

came and looked at the appalling for

away; and by Saturday noon he had
only sold eight lots.
What do you think of that Smith

bloodless old hands together. HE
sold eight of those Sunnyview stick
ers. It's a record for that type of
place"
Keep him out there" advised Mr..
Spencer sagely. "And tell him he'll
have to do better if he's going to stay
with u.s."
A hint to that effect on the follow
ing Tuesday, however, set Napoleon,
heretofore humble, upon his defense.
I'm doing the best l can, and hope
to do BETTER" he declared. What
ought my sales to reach?"
"Well-um-not less than Is lots
stated Forsythe.
The younger man was silent for a
moment, looking into the beady little
wrinkled eyes Of his employer.
How much profit do you make on
those lots?" he suddenly asked.
Mr.. Forsythe visibly WINGED.

For whom was the call?" asked
Marjorie.

Peters. "IIl gamble it was some one

NO" said Napoleon abstractedly,
thinking upon other matters so deeply
that he had no time to reply to Billy
Peters in his own banter. Its from

Generous Gift to city.

An excellent example of an endow-
ment that will be a source of continu-
Gus improvement to a city, and at the
same time a continuous memorial to
its founder is the Ferguson Monument
fund, administered by the trustees of
the Art Institute of Chicago.
Mr.. Ferguson. a public-spirited citi-
zen of that city, gave a bequest to
the Art Institute the income of which
is to be used for the erection of mon
umental sculpture, which shall serve
to ornament the city. Thus every few
years a great work of art will be erect
ed in that city.
