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

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.
