incidentally, with his daughter, Mabel.
From the first moment his eyes rested
on her sweetly beautiful face he never
forgot its charming outlines. Had it
been the old struggling Talcott that
Z had thus come across this gentle crea-
ture, his heart would have been wholly
lost. AS it was, the lure of the only
life" the fascination of the siren-like
Beatrice Winston held him in a bal
ance, swaying ~variously.
He had finished up his business at
Rushton and had arranged to leave
the next day. During his stay he had
been given a room back of the hotel
office, provided with a desk and chairs,
for the convenience of those who had
dealings with the estate. He had Just
finished writing a letter as there came
a timid knock at the door. 1t stood
partly open and framed a vision of
grace end loneliness that brought him
instantly to his feet.

face altght with genuine pleasure.

pleasant, but half-embarrassed way, as
she glanced about the apartment and

chair in the room for her and saw her
seated. Then he stood before her, the
courteous gentleman complete.
Il expected to find others here be-

ICED In his impetuous mind, he forgot
wealthy Miss Winston. He leaned to-

her his life helpmeet, when there was
an interruption. Three chattering la
dies entered the room. The momen-
tary spell of better impulses was bro

Perhaps it was because of Mabel,
perhaps the way of his p~rofigate ma

How About Your Roof2

A city may have the reputation of
being a clean town." and it's citizens
may be prone to boast of this fact,
but nearly any clean town would
lose self-respect if seen as the work
ers in the upper ozone view it. If
your office happens to be located on
one of the upper floors of a tall build
ing, take a look at your town and see
what you think of it. Look down and
see the dirty alleys, roofs Uttered with
everything from old lumber to paper,
tin cans and cheap signs. Awful, isn't
it? Now go up and examine your roof.
There must be a man higher up, and.
too, aViators are a discriminating
class.-Building Magazine.

the job. All of the men seem to recognize In
%tuitively in these two energetic girls the moving
power and the guiding hands behind the whole
project. Quickly and unerringly their eyes sin
gle out any fault in the work. Then in low
pitched, modulated voices, which nevertheless
have in them a ring of command, they give their
orders. and the men, with the air of those who
bow to superior knowledge of the subject, are
quick to obey.
The development of the mine is now proceed
ing rapidly, and while it is too early to predict
what material fortune the young women eventual
ly will enjoy, they seem to be confident that
their efforts. will be sufficiently rewarded. AT
any rate. they count their experience a valuable
one, and they have built up a fund OF rugged
health and c~ontentment of spirit upon which
they can draw freely throughout the rest OF their
lives.

NeIohborhood Banks N.ed.s

All of our cities need more small
neighborhood parks. The masses
must have breathing places and small
parks or squares best meet these re-
quirements. The development of cit.
les should be controlled by the mu.
inequalities, and no tract put on the
market except a small area for a park
is first donated to the city. This is
a justifiable hold-up. There should be
a neighborhood park within ten min.
utes brisk walk of every home. All
should have an educational value for
the district school and general public,
therefore each tree or shrub should be
labeled with proper and scientific
name and country of nativity.

7 Helps Y
GOOD TREE FLOWER BASKET
Latest Idea in Outdoor Ornament viii
Help Enhance Attractiveness
Of Any Place.

A feature which has been termed
"The Tree Flower Basket" is one of
the latest things presented in the
western part of this country for the
identifying of the home property. The
owner of the home place knows that
almost any kind of flower holders, if
they are put to work, serve to add to
the appearance of the property. Fur
thermore, where a novelty, in the way
of a flower basket, such as is seer in
the accompanying illustration, is
erected, it does more than merely
serve to enhance the attractiveness of
the place-it adds individuality to the
dwelling.
Surely this feature adds the "indi.
vidual" touch to the home it adorns.

|WORTHM SHOWS
PLEASE THRONES
a Little Talk With c. A. Workman
Prorietor Of the WORLDS Gig
oest Carnival.

The WORKMAN Shows had another
big crowd last night. the largest OF
their engagement. The management
states the paid admissions more than
doubled any previous evening. Every
one OF the shows was doing q land
office business and many comments
were heard that the WORKMAN Shows
were easily the finest line OF carnival
attractions ever in these parts.
MIR. WORKMAN stated last night that
he had been stopped more times dur
ing this engagement than at any other
city that he can remember and thank.
ed for the class OF entertainment that
he was offering his patrons. Mr..
Workman also stated that II was very
pleasing TO him to know that his at
fractions and his idea OF a carnival
company met with the approval OF the
public in general.
About six years ago Mr.. WORKMAN
says he was In business In Danville,
ILL.,. and attended a carnival organt
ration that was playing there at that
time and met the manager and had
| quite a controversy with him regard
ing the character OF some OF his nj.
fractions. The manager contended that
the public did not want high-class at.
fractions. that they would not pat
ronize shows Of the better class and
that he was forced 10 have a number
OF catch penny affairs TO make ends
meet. This did not seem reasonable
TO Mr.. WORKMAN. who casually re
marked he did not believe that state
ment and that he would put out .
carnival company Of his own that
would eliminate all Of the question
able features and was satisfied that
he would make money with the organ
ration. At the time Mr.. worthau
didn't have the slightest idea OF evei
going into the business. hut afte'
talking IL over with his wife and few
OF his friends he started out with ar
enterprise that was small in quantity
but big in quality and his organiza
ton has grown to a thirty-one car az
gregRtion.
Mr. WORKMAN is to be commended
for his stand for clean attractions
and that he may prosper is the wishes
OF the good people in all cities that hi
shows visit.
