YOUNG STREET CLEANERS.
How Brookline School Children Keep a
Neighborhood Free From Litter.
The Pierce school In Brookline, Mam.,
bas solved the problem of littered
streets in so fur as the children of
that school are concerned.
At first an attempt was made at ab
stract teaching, says the Boston Tran
script, but It was without effect Then
something practical was devised. Each
room held an election and selected four
representatives 'for the Good Citizens'
club, making about fifty In all.
These met and selected officers, di
vided up the streets of the neighbor
hood and assigned a portion to each
grade, making It absolutely responsible
for conditions In Its territory. Waste

Intendent of streets and got tbem.
To keep up Interest the teachers are
conducted by the various squads over
what they call their "beats." Healthy
emulation has produced moat desir
able results.'
Ceanlltiess and freedom from possi
ble contagion made It necessary that
the children should not handle dirty
papers, skins of fruit and other refuse
with their fingers, so the manual train
ing teacher got some volunteers from
the club and collecting sticks were pre
pared fur tho workers.
The results of the experiment are
manifest, and many favorable com
ments have come In from citizens and
from the officials of the street depart
ment. School papers, which may east
ly lie detected, are rarely found on the
streets. It Is observed, however, that
refuse from other sources continues
about the same, and It Is thought It
will probably remain so until adults
learn from the children or till the
younger generation takes the place of
the present careless one,
The principal of the school says that
one thing Is certain the members of
the Good Citizens' club of that Pierce
school who have bent their backs 2,000
times In the course of a single week
to pick up papers can never In the
whole course of their lives look upon
scattered papers In the streets with in
difference. YOUNG TREES IN TOWNS.
Course of Real Estate Operators That
Is Worthy of Emulation.
1 It Is noted in Brooklyn that a few
suburban real estate operators are set
ting trees on property which U on
the market for building purposes or on
which the builders themselves Intend
to cruet dwellings. This is so obvious
ly a wise policy that It is a wonder
only "a few" are following it, says
the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Having purchased a tract of land and
divided It Into streets and building
lota, the wise owner will at once plant
trees In suitable places and start tbem
growing before a cellar Is dug. The
property Is thus niado more attractive
nnd salable, for nothing ran be much
more dreary than a residence district
without trees.
As a result of rapid growth in popu
lation and building, the tendency is to
deprive city streets of shade which
tliey have long enjoyed. The sacrifice
of a noble oak or maple or elm is al
ways a cause of mourning, but the
.laughter goes on In the nome of "1m
I'nivement." The only compensation
Is to plant and foster trees on new
streets and lots. Those who terfonu
this tank diligently will earn the
thanks of future generations.
for the private car. A brakeman dart
ed forward, half pushed ber upon the
rear platform and the train began to
move. There was a clamor at the
gate, evidently from the people who
had missed the train, and Margaret
smiled contentedly as she realized by
how narrow a margin she had caught
the train herself.
The friendly brakeman looked puz
iled when she spoke of a special car,
but at last a light dawned upon his
face.
"ThHt was to be attached to the
Washington express," he explained.
"The train Is twenty minutes late."
"And I'm on the wrong train," she
cried.
"It's all right If you want to go to
New York. We'll get there about the
time tbey do.
"Then I may as well stay on." Mar

cars when she felt a tug at her sleeve.
"Jimmy," she cried In astonishment.
"What are you doing here?"
"Bearing defeat back to New York,"

and a boy In blue and brass came
through the car calling her name. She
held out ber hand for the telegram.
"Father snys to wait here." She
smiled as she read it through. Dorvnl
fished out a bill ond handed it to the
boy, together with the message.
"You could not find the lady, under

"I'm wise," agreed the boy. "Mebbe
the lady didn't benr me."
He passed out, and Just as the train
began to move Meg saw him going
leisurely across the platform, the en

"The old guy was a drummer," ex
plained the brakeman. returning with
a young and very nervous person with
a flushed fare. "He snys he's a min

explained the nervous man, "but am a
regularly ordained clergyman. I leave
the train shortly. If you can satisfy
me that there is no legal impediment,
I should advise celerity."
Rapidly Dorval explulned the situation.
The drawing rooms were nil engaged,
but there wns a cafe car on the train,
and the tiny pantry was empty. The
porter mounted guard to keep out the
curious; the simple ceremony was con
cluded and a certificate made out long
before the minister renched his stop

nervously as his slender fingers closed

desire for a smoke and went forward
that the young couple might not be
separated.
"Are you sorry now that It's over,
dear?" be asked os he leaned forward
and placed his hand over hers.
"I shall never be sorry," she said
bravely. "I was only ufrnld that you
would not be able to rescue me from
the duke."
"I bet he drops bis eyeglass when
we tell him," said Jimmy with a wick
ed smile. "He'll drop bis eyeglass and
say, 'My word:' See If he doesn't."
"I'm thinking of what father will
say," she answered, trying to smile.
"It will be a great disappointment to
him."
'Then be shouldn't sell his daugh

him now."
He pointed out of the window as an
other train went rushing by. On the
platform of the rear car, made into
an observation balcony, they could see
the duke.
