Spencer was connected with many

Spencer went with him as far as the

a stationary engineer. When he
presented himself at headquarters
the Sherlock Holmes of the force
was the first person he had to see.
Mr. Sherlock, looking up from his
desk, scanned the applicant shrewd
ly, shot a quick glance around the
room to see that he had every one's
attention, and then said in his deep-
mnct imnrpssive voice:
" 'Aha, a mechanic, I perceive!'
" 'Xa, na,' replied the Scotchman,
'a Mackenzie.' "

nAfm fi should select ior tne omce
of county school superintendent j
only that man wno is Dest ntteu
for the place and who can do
the most good for the people.
The sacred rights of the chil
dren must be protected and enhanced.

superior ability; second, on ac
count of his very successful
school work from the first grade
to the high school course; third,
because it takes a broad man to

a broad man but one who has

It requires time and money to
pmt one's" residence property in
first class condition and keep it
so. To clean up the premises,
make a lawn, put out and train
flowers; build concrete walks ana
keep everything in the best pos-
siDle snape means sometning
both in labor and expense.
But it is a matter of pride with
the individual and he feels re-
naid for his trouble bv the beaut- .
iful lawn, flowers and ornament
al trees and shrubs that respond
so quickly to his labor, and the
result is a benefit to the entire
city, because attractive premises
mate an attractive town, ana an
attractive town brings home
seekers and home-buyers.
But it is discouraging to spena
money and labor on a place only
to have the neighbors on either
side or all about neglect their
yards and join their rickety old
sidewalks onto one s new con
crete walk. It is an outrage to
one's sense of the beautiful; it
destroys the harmony and one
feels that the effort put forth in
beautifying the place is half lost
because of the neighbor's neg
lect. The effect is marred by
the unsightly yards and walks
round about, and the fact is very
discouraging to tne progressive
citizen.
If all would pull together for
a cleaner, prettier town, for more
beautiful lawns, better fences v.
and better walks, what changes
would be wrought! It is the
onlv wav to eet results ouickly,
certainly and with only moderate.,;.
expense. Mucn complaint is
heard because tne "city does
not do this or that in the way of
improvements, but let us ask,
who is the city? You are a part
of it and your neighbor it a part.
Every resident is a part ana
must do his share it anything
great is to be done.
Let no one detract irom tne
beauty of his neighbor's home
by neglecting tne property au
