PORTLAND. SOYS AS WHITE WINGS. Iiia Complin llanrork'i "Broom Brt Rude" or I.lttle Krarroea. Charles Luwb laments In touching lanjjnnjre the disappearance of the chiinuoy sweep, and If he were nlive today to see Miss Comella Hancock's "broom brigade" the essayist would doubtless Indite immortal words of praise. This brigade is unlike any other body of cleaners In I'hlladelphia. ' It Is a ruove that any town can follow with prolit. The brigade Is made up of twenty five little negro boys from the colored settlement, 022 Locust street, and Miss Hancock is the brigadier general, says the Philadelphia North American. Armed with all the Implements that the regular "white wings" use, the brigade sallies fo.-th every Monday. Wednesday and Friday afternoon to scour up the i alleys and courts be tween Walnut. Spruce, Ninth and Broad streets. It must do its work well Otherwise there is no pay. That pay. t0 De surc' Is not large only G cents an alley, with a tax of a cent per laborer in order that there may be a fund to replace wornout brooms but the results are excellent. They must observe the street clean ing ordinances as well as or better than the real employees of the city. They must keep the Inlets free from dirt, must gather up all refuse in a wheel barrow, sprinkle the street before tbey sweep it and comply with all the regu lations. Any infringement meets with a stern reprimand, and work poorly done must be done over. Constant supervision has fostered a sense of responsibility In these small Citizens, who are being trained In the ways of civic pride, and they vie with one another In leaving then alleys spotless. "Miss Hancock, can I do another I Drus Store Opposite Depot vaiAivi Alia. Sunshine in every tin of delicious com to trie thit wonderful com the tame dar. with perfectly preienred. com foodnett' in l 0REG0H. U. . A. street?" 13 the constant query of the tirelej-i sweepers. "Let me do the Oreok's alley. Miss Hancock. Sam Johnson's too little to do It ull alone," one ambitious "white wing" urged. He wanted to make 15 cents, for he had In mind a kite In the corner store, and lie knew the Creek's alley was a profitable under tiiklni?. "The combined beauties of this work," said Miss Hancock as she In structed a recruit iu the art of sweep ing out corners, "Is that It develops In the children a sense of civic pride and the quality of thoroughness. If they are ever property owners or have homes to care for they will not shirk their responsibilities to themselves and the pommuultv at large by neglecting to keep them outwardly as well as in wardly clean.'1 Less eerie than their predecessors, the uncanny little sweeps of London, who were dear to the heart of Charles Lamb, but Just as picturesque and use ful, these amateur white wings are the product of our Inadequate municipal mnuagement, but they have solved In their small way the dirty street prob lem, though the bureau of street clean ing does not know of Its valuable aux iliary. Nratrat Town la tbe World. The neatest town In the world is Brock, a Holland town of 2.700 inhab itants, where Edam cheese Is made, says the Louisville Courier-Journal. No howes are allowed In Brock, so great Is the enthusiasm for perfect cleanliness, and the sun shines when ever it Is above the horizon Instead of peering through the smoke and looking like a large bloodshot eye, as Is the case In most American cities and towns. Flaa Colors. Red seems to be the most popular of national colors if Caps may be used at; criterion. Of the twenty-five leadiin ii".tIon:il frigs nineteen have red li ll.eiu. The tame cannot be said of an; other color. bOINQS AT THE Items of Interest to the Taxpayers of Josephine County From, the Various County Officials " Real Estate Transferee.
