An Idea Frem Abroad Whloh Might Prove Valuable Here. Automoblllsts who hove done any amount of touting, either In the United States or abroad, have frequently, won dered why some method of designating towns and cities has never been adopt ed by municipal authorities, says the New York Post. Some few mouths ago the suggestion was advanced la the United States that perhaps the poetotlice department might be induced to put the names of the towns on Us poHtoilice buildings lu various places, but so far as Is knowu nothing has ever been done In this direction. With characteristic British thorough ness, the English Automobile associa tion has taken this matter up in the tight little Island, and it Is the inten tion of the officers of thnt organization to fix mime plates on the first anil last buildings In all towns and villages throughout the kingdom In order that motorists as well as other travelers may learn the name of a town or vil lage as soon as they come to It It would seem that this Is an Idea which might be considered by Uio vari ous state association of the American Automobile association. Model 8ehool Grounds. The school and Its grounds should be beantlful, models in every way. that the children and their parents may wish their homes leautlful and sanitary, says the Los Angeles Times. The vines that cling to the brick walla of the school, replacing Its staring red with waving masses of foliage, or those that adorn the porch are types of what may be done to transform the humble borne of the mechanlo or the pretentious but unlovely mansion of a wealthy parent to a more beauti ful exterior. Beauty has a market value that Is rising rapidly. A home with a well kept garden, neat lawn and thrifty shade or fruit trees la as sessed for far more, will sell for more, than any adjoining weedy, unkempt lot, even though the latter bears a large or costly home. The city with beautiful hemes attracts population, business and prosperity. The citizen with a home that be Is making more beautiful has therein a testimonial to his worth to any employer as well as to his family and his fellow citizens. The school garden that sends children home to ask their parents to start home gardens, even if these must be only in boxes, is doing Ha community good service. Making a Lawn. Four things are required to make a good lawn time, soil, climate and In telligent labor, says the Garden Mag azine. In England they have a saying that It requires a hundred' yeara to make a lawn and 2m) years to make a good lawn. In the United States, where we are already trying to make suburban homes while you wait aud where a month or two seem a very long time, people are too Impatient. It apcaks well for their ambition that they want lawns as soon as they move Into their houses, but they are really expecting too much. At the very best It requires no loss than three years to make a presentable lawn and flvo or ton years to make what we uncritical Americans call a good lawn. England's War Footing. It Is seveu years since the British empire reeled from the b'ow dealt to Its military prestige In South Africa, but all the good resolutions formod then havo come to nothing. There Is not the slightest doubt that had Eng land possessed a untlounl statesman of courage and foresight the oppor tunity might have been turned toward better things, but we had none such. We are today lu a relatively worse po sition than we wero In 1HM), London Broad Arrow.

Word was running swiftly through the ' rsdbush country, carrying the news that Marion Marie waa captured. While the sun waa atill yellow and luaterleu through the morning haze, and before it bad reached over into the draws and hollows of the clay bills, the men of the neighbor hood were in the saddle aud the story of the taking of Marion Marie the night be fore waa on their lips. They were riding in groups and in pairs and some were riding sinnly, but all their paths were con verging toward Squire Yantley 's sawmill. Along the winding roads Hill Telket waa pressing his tired horse into a hard gal lop. He wai the president of tlie Anti IlorseThief association and he waa spreading the news of the capture and that was notice to the mtmbers of the asa ela tion that he wanted them at the trial which was to be held at the sawmill. "Takes men to handle ropes when we got hots-thieves about," he said, Hut the friends of Marion Marze were among those who were riding over the yel low clay knoh on the east and came gel loping across the bottom on the west and came out on the bridle paths that led from the other directions to th mill. Word had gone out to them also in the night from Hes Telket't house. Nan Telket had dared to love this man- over whose head hung the odioua charge of horse stealing. She was daring even more than that for her father, her brothers and their friends and followers had organised the Anti-llorse-Thief association for the single purpose ol cap turing: and if Dossible of lynching Marion Marze. Her brother, Bill Telket, was riding away in the darkness to gather his forces whan she crept out of the house and ran ' across fields and by forest patha to give the alarm. None of the men was thoughtless enough to come to the trial unarmed. Most of them carried lung-barreled squirrel rifles, More than half of those gathered there were friends of Marion Marze and for that reason the Anti Horse-Thief association waa subject to the humiliating spectacle of a legal inquiry into a horse-steal mg case The millahed, which served aa the court room, was crowded, Squire Yantley waa nervous. Johnny Moore, the sheriff, and his deputy, Dave Mawpum, sat with their backs to the wall, a revolver in each hand, with their prisoner between them. Some' men ia the room were taller, some were broader of shoulders, but none was aa hand some in face and in figure as Marze. Hit black hair hung down to hia shoulders. He had a red handkerchief knotted at hia throat. His trousers were tucked in the tops of hia boott that were illuminated with red and yellow stars and with crescents. Even the heels of hit boots did not escape admiring attention, for they were high and slender and were jingling with spurs. "I ain't never tried no hossthief cases," said Squire Yantley, "but if ye'll just keep good order I guess we'll get along all right." And he leaned over to Sheriff Moore for advice, as to methods of procedure. Then he called soon the prisoner to enter bis plea. "I ain't guilty," said Marts, as he stood ereet and tossed back hia hair. "Well who is!" demanded the squire. "There's the hose thief," he cried, point ing with hia arm outstretched. "Dill Telket stole the mare." Hill Telket swsn to his feet. The as semhlage was suddenly ia motion. Back ward and forward and sidewisc, it swayed ominously and weapons were clicking, but there waa no outbreak or rush or clash. A murmur aroae in the rear of the room. The crowd parted, making a ath through its center, till a girl rushed into the open space where the prisoner stood in an Atti tude of defiance, facing Hill Telket. She pulled from her head a blue sunhonnct, whose edges dropped and half hid her face. As she did so her hair, red hrown and glinting, fell in masses like a mantle on her shoulders Hed blushes fretted in her pal lid checks. The murmurs of the throng hushed and everyone was staring. "Nan, what brings you here?" cried Bill Telket. "1 coins tsh save a man that never " "Teh aave a hose thief?" "You'eh my brother, Hill, n I love yeh, 'en I come to stop yeh from aayin' in court thi't M.Mion Mine's a hossthief. Squire, Mmon isn't no hoaa-thief. Heneveh stole the mare! "Wtll, who did steal 'er, Nan?" asked the court. "Ion't ask me, squire. I can't tell yeh, but Marion didn't. "r'.f yeh iton' tell, Naa, well hW teh penitenthy 'im." "Yeh caint; yeh caint! They'ae men here; they won't let yeh!" "Here. Nan, theyse enough o' that," said Hill Telket, fiercely, aa he seized his sister by the wrist and drew her rudely back. She turned on her brother and he ahrunk from the Hashing of her dark eyes. She released her wrist from hie grasp. A half subdued roar went up from the crowd and it moved forward. A man in the front rank was holding up a revolver. The girl irsng at him and snatched the weapon with such suddenness that the had wrenched it from him before he could tighten hia strong fingers on its handle. Quicker than the men were thinking; she wat at the eide of the prisoner. "Here, Marion," she whispered, placing the revolver ui hia hand. "Kunfurit. Fight yer way out. Yer hoaa ia at the crick." While ehe held up her face to him, he bent hia head and kissed her. Then with a ringing yell, he leaped straight at the crowd, which opened a pathway for him sod then eloeed in behind him. Nan threw herself in front of the sheriff and hia dep atiea and impeded them. It waa for a second, only, but it waa sufficient time to put struggling frantie men between them sod their prisoner, whoa friends and ene mies dosed in a savage struggle, forced one another forward and Wat one another back, but do one halted Marze or brought him down. He swung the revolver he held, to the right and left and hia keen eyes fol lowed its motion. He went in a clear sc that moved aa he moved till he reached the door. At he sprung out a pistol waa ftred. Savage yells were raised and a fusil lade of shots rang and the crowd became a tangled, seething mass. Along the tortuous and foreat sheltered course of Muscle Ford creek, Marion Mart waa riding fast, by the lime the ahenffa had irt out of th hauling, savage crowd.

According to B. 0. Flower, writing In the April Arena, published in New York city, Dr. Martin Friedrich, head of th health office of Cleveland, O., has opened the way for the btampicg out of the scourge of smallpox without re sorting to vsccination. Previously to being promoted to the hend of the health office Dr. Friedrich was for three years in the employ of the city. His experience during that time con vinced him that vaccination was not an invariable preventive of small imx. but, on the other hand, that, after I disinfection with formaldehyde of a house in which the disease sas found, I never another ease could be traced to that house. Dr. Friedrich says: "I laid these facts before Mayor Johr.aon and proposed to stop vaccination entirely, and Instead of It disinfect thoroughly with formaldehyde every section of the clly whire smallpox had madeltsappearar.ee; also to give ihe city a jjer.tral cleaning up. The mayor not only consented to my plen. but also gave me all aid r.etiitd. I formed two squads of dlssntectprs. preferring med ical students for the work. Each squad consisted of 3 men. with a regular sani tary patrolman at thr-lr head, ar.d each mas waa provided with a luunaldehyde generator. Thus equipped they si-rted out to disinfect every section of the c'.ty where the disease had shown Its head, ar.d every home In this section, no matter It small pox had been within or not, and every room, nook and corner of the house, special at tention being paid to winter clothes that had been stored away, presumably lifden with germ. It took over three months to do the work, but the result was most grati fying. After July 23 aeven more cases de veloped, the lsat ons August 23. "In order to Rive you an adequate Idea of what we did here to get rid of smallpox, I have to menUon the Investigation depart ment, consisting of phystciAns who were thoroughly familiar with every phase of the disease. They were day and right at the disposal of the health department. They had to Investigate every auspicious case in town, and whenever they found a esse of smallpox they asked the patleat the following questions: "Who vlstted you during th last two weeks? "Whom hav yo vlsiud during th last two weeks? "Have you been at any public meeting during that time, and who was present, to your knowledge? "Where do you work? "Where do the children attend school? "Wher does your family attend dtvln worship? 'This Information obtained, they atarted out to all the Indicated addresses. They asked the foreman, preacher and teacher for all absentees during the laet month from shop, church or school, ar.d then vis ited the house of every one of thim. They phoned their findings to the health office, and dislnfectort with formaldehyde gen erators were kept ready to follow the step of the Investigators and disinfect where there waa the slightest susvlclon of an ex posure to smallpox Along with thlt the regular sanitary police force was g.ven or ders to make a house-to-house canvass- to tell the public to clean up thilr yards, barns and outhouses, and abats all nui sances that could be found. Aa a result of It Cleveland Is now free from smallpox, and from the worst Infected city It haa In come th cleanest." "mohoy was ih battle. The Tweatr-Thlrd Resrlmeat ot New the Philippine War. Fritz, the mascot of company H, Twenty-third regulars, and veteran of the Philippine war, is known to the boys of the company as "comrade, and to them he is away above the aver age nf his kind, says the New York Mail and Express. Fritz enjoys the rare distinction of being the only one of 18 monkeys able to stand the long ocean voyage from Mnnila. Frank J. KnofTkey is his own er, nni! the soldier has never gone into' an eiigiit;einent since April 14, lyon, when Fritz was brought into camp, without the farlhfiil monkey either on his shoulders or trudging along close by his side. Fritz has been on every island in the Sulu archlpelsgo, and suf fered without a murmur the long and trying campaign. When KnofTkey lay wounded on the Held on Cebu island, his comrades in uniform pressed on, but his comrade Frits nestled close to his side and guarded him through the watches of the night. On the regiment's forced march across Latey island. Fsitx divided his time between walking and riding on the shoulders of the nier nil :,l ng the line. It was on this m-ension that he came near losing his life, at the hands of several wild monkeys, because he had no tall. A monkey loses his so cial standing in the Philippines when he is minus a tail. Fritz escaped from his indignant relatives only by leap ing to the shoulders of his master. CROWNIHG OF RICHARD III.
