WHAT MAY BE DONE.
The Washington Star publishes the
above picture of “Before and After,”
showing the possibilities of a clean-up
day in the backyard of a city.
Era of City-Planning.
Seventy American cities are now
spending $100,000,000 to beautify them
selves and 50 more will join in the
movement within a year. This strik
ing fact was, brought out in Boston at
the fourth national conference on city
planning. In this new movement the
cities of the United States are fol
lowing a path -where Europe has shown
the way. Nearly half of the popula
tion of the United States is now urban.
More than one-fifth is in towns of
cities of more than 2,500 and less than
100,000 inhabitants. These are the very
places that have the best opportunity
for intelligent city planning. The time
for it is -while the to-wn is small and
while land is cheap. Mere multiplica
tion of parks does not carry out the
idea. The whole city should be treat
ed as a park or landscape garden and
its public buildings should form a
civic center on a definite architectural
basis. The only effective machinery
for the creation of a city beautiful is
a permanent city-planning commission
with power to condemn property. Har
monious development of the growing
city, with every street, tree, building
and spot of ground treated as a detail
in a harmonious ensemble, is not only
art but business. Civic beauty is an
immense municipal asset.
Eeautiful Parisian Streets.
In the streets and boulevards of
Paris, even in the business section,
are trees and flowers and gardens.
These have contributed largely to ma
king Paris one of the beautiful and
distinctive cities of the world. No
where else in the world, perhaps, is
the beautiful and the utilitarian coir
hined to the same extent.
Women and Love.
Women for the most part do not
love us. They do not choose a man j
because they love him, but because
ft pleases them to be loved by him.
They love love of all things in the
world, but there are very few men
whom they love personally.—Alphonse j
Karr.

Big Vegetable Growths.
So far Samuel C. Myers, of Eek
hart, is “entitled to the belt” for the
.arrest pumpkin, to be placed in one
tf the front windows of the Pearce
Company drug' store next Tuesday
morning. Of the “Atlas” variety, it
is 72 inches in circumference and
weighs 97 pounds and 10 ounces. It
will then be in competition for a
prize offered bj' the company.
Another of the same kind, raised by
Mr. Myers, was placed in the Hitch
ins Brothers Company’s grocery win
dow Tuesday, weighing 7014 pounds.
It is reported of this growth of
pumpkin that it is particular^ 7 fine for
table use —better for Thanksgiving
Day, for instance, than of that where
of Whittier wrote:
“What moistens the lip, and what
brightens the eye?
What calls back the past like the rich
pumpkin pie?”
In one of Shea’s drug-store windows
appears a cucumber, 12% inches long 7 ,
12 I /|' inches in circumference, and
weighs 3pounds, grown by Albert
Hanna, of Grahamton.
A Good Movement.
The auditorium of Central High
School building, Lonaconing, was
well filled with teachers of the Lona
coning schools and parents of children
attending the schools on Friday even
ing of last week.
The occasion was the first of an ef
fort to organize a “Parents Associa
tion” in that town.
The meeting was called to order by
Prof. A. F. Smith, who asked the
audience to rise and sing “America,”
which was rendered lustity by the en
tire audience. A short program of
music and recitation was rendered,
after which Prof. Smith made a few
remarks stating the object of the
meeting and expressing the hope that
a strong organization will be effected.
Addresses were then made by R. F.
Chaney, principal of the Jackson
Street School, on “Some Ways in
Which Parents May Co-Operate With
Teachers;” W. S. Morris, commercial
teacher in the Central High School; J.
A. Kendrick, science teacher, and
Miss Ann M. Sloan, domestic science
teacher, all of whom spoke of their
particular work in making the L,ona
couing schools stand for the training
of boys and girls for their life-work.
After the addresses D. R. Sloan,
citizen, was made chairman of the
parents’ meeting, James McAlpine
secretary, and a permanent organiza
tion was arranged —to be completed at
a meeting due yesterday (Friday)
| evening.
The interest manifested is an assur
ance that the organization will be a
live one and a means of bringing
i parents of Uonacouing and vicinity
! into closer contact with the schools.

“Mr. R. F. Garrett, for the past five
; 3'ears one of the head men in the
’ clerical department of the West Ken

f some months past head book-keeper,”
, says the Sturgis (Ky.) Democrat of
7 last week, “has accepted a position as
; general manager of the Grand River
t Coal & Coke Company, at Caniesville,
. Mo.
. “While in justice to Mr. Garrett we
l must say that the Grand River Coal
l Company has shown good judgment,
i but to ourselves we must say we show 7
1 aver unselfish spirit to recommend
. him to others when we need and re
-1 gret so much the loss of such citizens.
; “Mr. and Mrs. Garrett have identi
r tied themselves With all the best in
- terests of Sturgis, and when they built
7 a nice home last year we felt they
were here to stay.
, “However, progressive men will
; move up and we trust the change may 7
3 offer every opportunity for success.
“Whatever of good or evil may come
t the way of Mr. and Mrs. Garrett and

AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
The Problem Feminine.
Two ladies sat, one summer afternoon,
And deftly plied their needles o’er and o’er;
And while they did their hands to work attune
Their minds reviewed the happy days of yore.
And these two, who each had long been a mother,
Thus fondly threw boquets to one another.
Said one—“my dear, how well I do recall
How verj T beautiful you used to be—
So charming, fair and graceful, and so tall,
With eyes for which men rode miles just to see ;
But now, I fear, we soon will be passe —
Your hair and mine is fast becoming gray.”
“And you were, dear,” the other said, “when young
The most bewitching creature of your age ;
It really was absurd how all men hung
Upon your words as though you were a sage.”
“But time has dealt our charms a ruthless slaughter”—
Sighed these two who had each a grown-up daughter.
And thus they sat, and did their spirits vex —
Although of beauty each still had her share—
And worried o’er the problem of our sex—
That of growing old and still remaining fair.
(For to us, you know, the thought is quite alarming
That we should e’er become one whit less charming !)

A well-displayed advertisement in
the Journal, associated with spark
ling local and general reading matter,
is worth thousands of handbills thrown
broadcast upon the winds of a cold,
unsympathizing world. The Journal
passes from one to another in a family
with waiting interest; the handbills,
like leaves showered upon the waters
of Lethe, pass into instantaneous for
getfulness, forceless as unused elec

$155,134 in 1882. During this time it
paid its stockholders —nearly all farm

Firemen at Meyersdale.
)
The Meyersdale (Pa.) Republican
makes report of local interest in part
as follows:
“Friday was also Firemen’s Day
, and the Frostburg and Meyersdale
t Fire Departments gave a very good
, parade. The Frostburg company was
_ the only company from a distance
? participating. The men were clad in
. very neat gray uniforms and made a
. very handsome appearance.
(- “After the parade the firemen
marched to the Fair Grounds where
they gave a running exhibition.
“Prizes had been offered for com
peting teams from a distance, but as
1 only the Frostburg company came, the
; Meyersdale team agreed to run
5 against the Frostburg team in order
to make a contest. Meyersdale won
r first prize, SSO. Frostburg second, $25.
“Frostburg also was awarded a prize
-of $25 for having the most men in line

Grandpas.
Grandpas is what chillun keep
Just f’um failin’ off to sleep
When they’s lazy-like an’ say
’At we ought to run an’ play,
An’ not bovver ’em until
They’s got over bein’ still
An’ wakes up an’ says “Oh, my I
How the time o’ day does fly!”
Grandpas also is to come
An’ be chillun, too, an’ some
Ist love bein’ chillun so
’At they never learn to grow.
But just stay down in their heart
What they was at very start,
Dreat big babies, muvver finks—
’En she looks at us an’ winks.
Grandpas has gray hair an’ they
Comes to walk when chillun say
’At they want to walk, an’ when
They’s down town wif other men
They don’t start for home again
Till they’ve bought us chillun
things
’At’ll help us fink they’s wings
Growin’ on us, we’re so glad
’At we’ve got a old grandad.
Grandpa’s made of old-time
clothes
An’ big glasses on his nose,
An’ white whiskers an’ white hair,
Only where they aint none there,
An’ that’s what they say is bald,
But he says it should be called
Piety, for bein’ so sweet
When we clamber o’er his feet,
Pull an’ twist him all about
Till he says ’at he’ll come out.
Grandpas aint like uvver men,
For they don’t get angry when
Chillun wakes ’em up or cries,
But they help us wipe our eyes,
An’ they lift us up an’ talk
All the time when vve go walk
’Bout such lovely things that we
Want so much to go an’ see.
Grandpas is the ones that say
’At they ought to let us play,
An’ they beg our muvvers please
Not to whup us when we tease,
An’ they’re angels really true
For they alluz let us do
Fings we want to do instead
Of bein’ washed an’ put to bed.

One Thrilling Monteat.
A letter from General Kear Hosken,
Lancaster, Pa., tells the story of a
busy beginning of a busy career.
He is a student in an engraving
studio, and writes—
“l like the work in this school more
and more every day. It is very inter
esting. I believe I am getting along
splendidly, and at the current rate of
progress will complete my course just
in time to get my wing of the Thanks
giving turkey at home on that day.
“This is a fine town. Only one
drawback-it has no Mining Journal I”
Gen. Kear went to the fair to see a
Lancaster horse-race —“’tween a pony
black as Georges Creek coal and one
white as Great Savage snow.
“I looked them over and that little
white one surely did appeal to me for
a bet.
“So I put up every single one of the
ten cents I had on that darling little
white bird !
“The race started, and if I live to
be as old as ‘Uncle Tommy’ I will
never expect to see again anything so
exciting!
“Around, around, around the course
swept the pair, side by side !
“At last —O, yes, at last in the
home-stretch they came, both noses
• same longitude, every muscle and
: every nerve strained to the last de
i gree of tension I
i “On, on, on they came toward the
: finish-wire—one not the fraction of an
i inch ahead of the other, and, Journal
. dear, will you believe it ?—when they
got to the tape—at the very last criti
i cal, decisive, climacteric moment, that
: black one shot out his tongue, and—
won the race !
“Only the toe of his tongue got
s ahead, but that was enough I
: “I walked home much discouraged
i over the vanitj r of sure things in race
■ probabilities I
i “But who would have imagined that
. a horse would play a trick like that ?

The scrouge between the C. High
S., of Lonaconing, and the B. High S.,
of Frostburg, Friday of last week on
the bone-break plateau of B. High S.,
lately excavated, was a one-sided
scuffle, the score coming out with 4
hunches against each C. High S., of
Eonaconing; nothing against B. High
S., of Frostburg.
In brief terms, the home-kickers
kicked 4 kicks each to nary kick by
the visitors.
Still briefer—B. High S. 44; C. High

Exhibit at the Fair.
Our old friend, Henry Leatham, of
Grantsville, was one of the exhibitors
at the Meyersdale Fair, and his ex
hibit was interesting as well as his
torical.
He has an old pen-knife, found on
the old Braddock trail, near Grants
ville, bearing the inscription, “Nel
son’s Fleet, 1757.”
Among other things he brought for
exhibition are an old flintlock musket
and a pistol of the same type of
weapon.
Other articles he exhibited were an
old iron coffee-mill, belonging to Mrs.
Nicholas Murphy, and an old smooth
ing-iron, property of Albert Swauger.
There are also some curios, includ
ing curiously-shaped limbs taken from
trees in Garrett county Oakland
