Familiar Greetings.

And into whatever house ye shall
enter, first say. Peace be to this house!
Luke. 10.5.
Christ here commends to His dis
ciples the use of the most familiar
everyday greeting of the east-a COM
monplace OF politeness, such as the
new generation despises.
But familiarity has its charm and l
count it good that life is impregnated
with it.
The regular ways. the rules of the
game, the customs Of courtesy and the
common phrases of colloquial speech
these are pleasant things in their
season-(which Is daily, and without
them our existence would be way
ward, rude, eXhausting and far less
tolerable than 1t is.
So with the salutations we ex-
change as we meet and part on the
highway or the footpath Of life; ! find
that a certain regularity in them is
not so much a defect, as necessity,
a wise and friendly concession to the
limits of our inventive power.
Meetings and partings are so COM
mon that their proper ritual must
needs be of the commonplace.
To make it otherwise would be to
weave the plain family umbrella of
cloth of gold.

PARK BOARD
ON INSPECTION
Merritt Site Found to be in
Most DepIorable Condition
All Visited

A tour Of inspection lasting for
a period of four hours was made by
the members of the Park Commits
sion in the various parks of the city
yesterday afternoon. The trip from
park to park was made by automo-
bile, the members started out at
$3.50 o'clock and returning at 1880.
Those who ven on the inspection
were Louis Y. Sosin, president of the
commission, Soren Il. Stark and Mrs.
S. II. Rostkowski. The parks visited
were Washington, Merritt tract,
Caledonian park and the Hayes and
Wonderland tracts. James l.. Tooker.
superintendent of parks accompanied
the party.
Following the laying of sidewalks
at Washington park It was decided
that the commission would ~endeavor
to set out trees and hedges.
The Merritt tract was found to be
in a most ~deplorable condition, due
to the fact that some one had made
the park a dumping ground for old
terra Gotta and chemicals. Signs
have been put uD in this park for
bidding the dumping of trash on the
tract but these have been torn down.
The commission has not enough mo-
ney to keep a mar on the tract all
the time but it is expected that some
action will be taken. Other parks
were found to be in good coTdition.
The Hayes and Wonderland tracts
have been turned over to the Play
Ground Commission for use as play
grounds during the summer season.
