BEAUTIFY YOUR FACTORIES.
Valuable as an Advertising Feature
and Beneficial to Employees.
Scores of newspaper articles are writ
ten about improvement of public
streets; magazines galore are published
in regard to beautifying homes and
grounds; prizes nre offered to certain
classes of people ns an Incentive to
ward gardening back yards; public
playgrounds are established and school
yards tastefully Vcpt. We pass judg
ment on all these things nnd call them
good, snys the Los Angeles Times. In
this land of sunshine, where vegetation
grows with almost no cultivation and
where to beautify at least tho exterior
and grounds of our manufactories
would require so little effort, this
should bo done not only for tho moral
and aesthetic Influence on the employ
ees, but really as an advertising fea
ture, always showing tourists that
even working shops can be made beau
tlful by nature In our California.
Not one but many travelers have re
marked about the vine covered water
tank (practical thing truly) nt a cer
tain station near Los Angeles on the
Salt Lake railroad. Tho eye and mind
are rested at seeing a bit of greenery
there. The electric power houses sta
tloned nt Intervals all the wny from
Pomona valley to several thousand feet
above in San Antonio canyon show
what can be done In simple landscape
gardening In waste plnces. Every wea
ry climber coming around a bend In
the trail up there among the mountnlns
can assure you that the vision of
blooming flowers, well kept lawn anl
maybe a fountain Is a welcome sight.
Tho writer has In mind two facto
ries, one so prtty and refreshing that
the passerby thinks it must be a pleas
ure to sit near the low open win
dows in summer nnd glance out occa
sionally from the work of cutting
leather and bnmmerlng tacks, for It is
a shoe factory In Holland. Mich., to
which I refer, to a plot of fresh green
grass. That glance does not detract
from tho work, but makes the Angers
more nimble and tho mind more clear
Must we of the golden west go back
east to find the beautiful In nature
combined with utility In supplying the
needs of our bodies? Can we have no
such ornamental practical factories of
our own? Another, perhaps more pre
tentious, is the home of the famous
Rookwood pottery in Cincinnati. Do
you doubt that the influence of these
beautiful surroundings on the artists
who decorate this ware works out
through their active fingers? Our
ground is ns fertile, our worklngmen
as appreciative, our own minds as aes
thetic as any in the east. Let us look
to our factories, at least to the extent
of improving them by the'addltlon of a
few clinging vines to hide and soften
the glare of walls and the harsh, con
ventional outlines of the buildings.
Town Booming Funds.
Thirteen cities and towns in the Pa
cific northwest are actively advertls
Ing their attractions and resources in
the expectation of increasing their
population and building up the agri
cultural communities around them.
Spokane. Wash., spends from $40,000
to $50,000 a year in publicity work.
Tacoma, in the same state, which
flaunted the famous slogan, "Watch
Tacoma grow," at the Lewis and
Clark exposition in 1005, spends $10,
000 a year in making the town grow.
Portland,. Ore., uses $48,000 for sys
tematic publicity and finds that It
pays. Winnipeg. In Manitoba, finds it
profitable to spend $17,000 annually in
advertising. Kansas City. Mo., recent
ly Inaugurated a campaign of munici
pal advertising. Hundreds of smaller
towns nnd cities are doing likewise.
"It pays to advertise."
Planting Street Trees.
In laying out for street planting let
the first stnkcs be set at the street
crossings, says Park and Cemetery.
When the abutting streets also are to
be planted, place two stnkcs at each
corner about thirty feet from the point
of intersection of the curb line on each
street Then space off the Intervening
distance, setting tho stakes equally dis
tant apart, but not less than slxty-flvo
feet as the shortest distance. Street
trees generally are planted too closely
together. Sometimes this is done with
the intention of cutting out alternate
ones, as the growth of the trees re
quires. This, however, is seldom done,
nnd the trees grow up too thickly,
thereby overcrowding and Injuring ono
another, destroying all the individual
beauty of the trees and tho symmet
rical arrangement which an avenue of
trees should have.
Comfort Stations For Towns.
Anything that tends to advance civi
lization and promote the welfaro of
mankind Is beneficial to a town. Mil
waukee Intends to do something in this
.line, ns its board of public works pro
poses to establish municipal comfort
stations throughout the city.
"I am heartily in favor of these com
fort stations," said Mayor Becker.
"In my travels through Europe I saw
a number of tho stations in tho largo
cities. They are located In tho busy
parts of the business districts as well
as along the boulevards. For a small
fee a person can go Into one of these
stations, get a towel and hot water and
refresh himself without having to go
to a hotel to do It People can nlso get
their clothes brushed nnd cleaned be
fore filling business engagements. It is
a good step toward municipal improve
ment" Taboo on Dandelions and Chickens.
The Denver city council is working
upon an ordinance providing a flno of
$10 for every dandelion allowed to
bloom within the city limits. The city
council of Florence. Colo., has passed
an ordinance imposing a similar fine
on the owner for each chicken allowed
to run at large.
The
Scrap Book
A Distinction With a Difference.
Ollle James, the giant Kentucky con
gressman, was raaklnc a nolitlcal
speech.
"I want to ask you a question,"
shouted a man.
"Well, my friend, whnt is it?"
"I want you to tell this gnthcring
what is tho difference between Grover
Cleveland and Theodore Itoosevelt."
"Nothing simpler. Mr. Cleveland li
too sedate to hunt, and Mr. Roosevelt
is too restless to fish."
EXAMPLE.
Wo scatter seeds with careless band
And dream we ne'er shall seo them
more.
But for n thousand years
Their fruit appears
In weeds that mar the land
Or healthful store.
The deeds we do, the words we say,
Into still air they seem to fleet.
We count them ever past,
But they shall Inst
In the dread Judgment they
And we shall meet.
1 charge thee by the years Bone by,
For the love's sako of brethren dear.
Keep thou the one true way
In work and play,
Lest In that world their cry
Of woe thou hear.
John Kcble.
Porouses.
"That is a pretty big bucljwnt cake
for a boy of your size," said papa ai
breakfast to Jlmiuy-boy.
"It looks big." said Jimmy, "but real
ly It isn't. It's got lots of porouses
in it"
A Tragedy Averted.
A gentleman unexpectedly took n
friend home to dine with him. Before
dinner his wife took her husband aside
and Impressed upon htm that when the
sherry In the decanter was exhausted
he must not ask his friend to take any
more, as there was none In tho house.
The husband promised to remember
nnd act with all due discretion. When
the sherry was exhausted, however, the
husband in a fit of mental aberration
pressed more upon him. The wife
looked distressed, and the visitor de
clined. After the visitor had departed
the lndy said reproachfully to her hus
band, "How could you press him to
take more sherry when I had already
warned you there was none In the
house?"
"I am very sorry, dear," said the pa
tient husband, "but I forgot all about
It"
"How could you?" she replied.
"What do you suppose I was kicking
you under the table for?"
"It wasn't mo you kicked," said her
husband.
A "Leetle" Absentminded.
Rufus Choate once endeavored to
make a witness give an Illustration of
absentmindedncss.
"Waal," said tho witness cautiously,
"I should say that a man who thought
he'd left his watch to hum an' took it
out'n his pocket to set if he had timo
to go hum to get it 1 should say that
that feller was a leetle absentmlnded."
Everybody's.
He Knew What He Wanted.
Tho family were gathered in the li
brary, one of tho windows of which
was open.
"That air" tho father began.
"Father, dear, don't say 'that air.'
Say 'that there,' " the daughter admon
ished. "Well, this ear" he again attempt
ed. "Nor 'this 'ere.' 'This here' is cor
rect," he was told.
Tho old gentleman rose, with an an
gry snort "Look here, Mary," ho said,
"of course I know you have been to
school and all that, but I reckon I
know what I want to say, an' I am
going to say it I believe I feel cold
In this ear from that air, an' I'm go
ing to shut tho window I" Ladles'

A Hurry Order.
As she examined her Thanksgiving
turkey she asked her little son:
"Did the butcher tell you this turkey
was quite fresh?"
"No'm. ne Just said to hurry home
with it as fast as I could."
A Definite Date.
During the money stringency lately
a certain real estate man, having noth
ing else for his clerk to do, sent him
out to collect some rent that was over
due. The clerk, being of Swedish national
ity, had their peculiar twang in his
speech.
Returning from his trip, the Swede
seemed very jubilant.
The proprietor, noticing his smile,
said, "Well, what luck did you have?"
and the clerk answered, "Purty good."
"Well, did anybody pay you?"
"Yaas, Smith ho pay, and Yones he
say he pay In Yanuary."
"Are you suro Jones said he would
pay in January? He never before has
made any such promises."
"Veil, I tank so. ne say it bane a
dam col' day when you get dot money,
and I tank dat bane in Yanuary."
Judge's Library.
The Play Went On.
In the early days of the last cen
tury Thomas mil, a great-uncle of the
late Thomas Hill, president of Har
vard university, was occupying an end
seat In a theater nt Jersey City. Di
rectly in front of him sat n diminutive
Frenchman, who found bis enjoyment
of tho ploy greatly diminished by tho
fact that an overgrown man in front
of him persisted in wearing a tall silk
bat He tried to look around the bat
and over tho burly shoulders, but only
to his discomfiture. Finally he tapped
the man on tbc arm, saying, "ECT jem
please, sarc, would you be kind enough
to take off your hnt?" No attention
was paid to this protest and ho re
iterated hl3 request. Still the big man
paid no heed. Mr. Hill's attention won
attracted, and, taking his cane, he
knocked the silk hat off Into tho aisle.
Instantly the man, his face red with
wrath, rose to his feet and began to
pull off his coat The audience also
rose, expecting to see a fight Tho
play stopped, the actors crowding to
the front of the stage. Mr. Hill de
liberately stood up, displaying his six
feet two inches of height and his mag
nificent proportions, and snld in a clear
voice heard all over the theater, "My
name is Thomas Hill, tanner. If you
wish satisfaction, come to my office
tomorrow morning at 0 o'clock. Hero
Is my card." The other slunk out of
tho house. Then Hill, with a sweeping
gesture, exclaimed In a stentorian
voice. "The play may ko on." And tho
play went on. LIpplncott's.
Modesty Forbade.
A lady once asked Lord Brougham
at a dinner party who was the best
speaker In the bouse of lords. Lord
Brougham promptly and emphatically
answered, "Lord Stanley, madam, Is
the second best"
Her Way of Taking Them.
At a dinner party the coachman was
called upon In an emergency to assist
In waiting upon the guests, among
whom was a very deaf old lndy. Tho
coachman, in passing the vegetables,
comes to the deaf lady.
"Peas, mum?" says Jehu.
No answer.
"Peas, mum?" (louder).
Still there was no answer from the
old lady, who at this moment lifts hor
car trumpet Interrogatively toward the
man.
Glancing down and seeing the tube
he ejaculated in a whisper: "Well, It's
a rum way of taking them, but I sup
pose she likes it Here goes!" And
down went the peas into the ear trum
petLadies Home Journal.
Wealth and Marbles.
"Why get together any more money?"
asked a friend of the late Russell
Sage. "You can't eat It You can't
drink it What good will It do your
"Ever play marbles?" Uncle RuaaeU
asked.
"Yes, when I was a boy."
"Couldn't eat 'em, could you?
Couldn't drink 'em, could you? No use
to you, were they? What did you play
marbles for?"
He Kept the Secret.
When the teacher was absent from
the schoolroom Willie Jones wrote on
the blackboard:
"Willie Jones can hug the girls better
than auy boy in school."
' "William, did you write that?" naked
the teacher upon her return.
"Yes, ma'am."
"Well, you may stay after school as
punishment"
"Got a licking, didn't you?" asked
one boy when Willie came out
"Nope."
"Got jawed?" asked another.
"Nope."
"What did she do?"
"Shan't tell, but It pays to adver
tise." Good Little Girl.
A Christian mother was once show
ing her little girl, about fivo year- old,
a picture representing Jesus holding an
Infant in his arms, whl'e the mothers
were pushing their children toward
him.
"There, Carrie," said her mother,
"this Is what I would havo done with
you if I had been there."
"I wouldn't bo pushed to Jeaus; I'd
go to him without pushing."
Malicious Adiposity,
"Fat men nro no account for soldier
ing," said the late General Shatter.
"They pant they wheeze, they snort,
they choke, they grunt they groan,
they waddle, they slouch through tho
world. Not a particle of good on earth,
fat soldiers. Would not have one of
'em around If I could help it"
"Er but r you would not exactly
er call yourself slight would you,
general?" a venturesome major asked.
"Hell, no! I've been a fat blobby
old nuisance ever since tho day I tip
ped tho beam at over 200 pounds, and
right then I ought to've been court
martlalcd and cashiered for outrage
ous and malicious adiposity, sir, for
scandalous corpulence to the prejudice
of military discipline!"
Disproving a Saw.
Before the days when ready made
clothing was sold regularly below cost,
with a discount from that price off
for cash, some one who presumably
knew declared with some feellug that
it took nine tailors to make a mau.
Even in these days three times three
tailors by putting their beads together
might be able to make one of those
nice men who come In so bandy as
part of the decoration scheme to match
the parlor furniture, but not so mnny
tnllors as that are needed to make a
presidential candidate.
It Is handed to us by a wise man as
a serious rensou why we should elect
one of the candidates that his coat Is
always wrinkled.
Evidently a secondhand clothing
man could come nearer making a presi
dential candidate who was looking for
popular votes than could a score of
artistic tailors.
Smart Girl.
"I am looking for n cloud."
"What for, you pessimistic thing?"
"I am having a new opera cloak
made."
"You don't want cloudy weather for
that, do you?"
"Well, I thought I would like a ill.
very lining for it."
