Much attention has been given to-the problem of furnishing country dwel- lers with intellectual and artistic re- creation, in an attempt to keep them from moving to the city in too great numbers; pnt there has so far been f" little attention paid to providing them with outdoor - sports within -average means after they arrive in the city. But the imovement is under way, and it is growing steadily. 5 SHAPE COURSE, STICK TO IT This Is Only Effective Policy to Be Pursued py Commercial Club, If Is Declared. Community buildlng,fln its final an- alysis, resolves itself into a question of energy directed by will.

The ideal ‘| secretary is a man of ideas and dyna- mic force, who can lead his people to the acceptance of those ideas, who can arouse interest of the directors dnd other members and give them something to do, unconsciously to themselves, that is worth while for the upbuilding ot’ the town.

I no other way can this much-to-be-desired condition be obtained. By waiting for the other fellow to start first, nobody starts, and we just go along in a per- functory ‘way from day to day and year to year. Lake Charles is already healthy and clean, but nobody will deny that the city could be made A whole lot healthier and cleaner, and the way to do it is for everybody to clean up thelr own premises and keep them clean, and this applies especlally to the back yards and alleys where tin cans, empty Boxes, discarded this and that accumulate from time to time, Deplcts the “Great Trek” ‘An interesting Mm has just beeh shown in London.dealing with early South African history, and has been pratsed by General Botha.

Avold Horticultural Museums. Nearly all gardens have too many morts of plants. Do not strive for a horticultural museum, advises a land- scape gardener. Try to build a picture and pray do remember that plants are as much raw material as bricks in a garden wall. They are to be used for collective or composite effect, not for {ndividual beauty or effectiveness. -; American OItlei Are Beginning io American cities’ are "beginning to solve the problem of play.

A ‘ ; } HISTORIC OLD SUN TAVERN One of Bontqfi'a Landmarks, Built In 1690, for Many Years Used as a Fish Market. _ One of the_early taverns of Boston was-the Sun tavern which stcod but-a | few feet from the water’s edge and was built about 1690. ' For some years it was kept by a Huggenot from Ro-] chelle named Cogneau. -He made itf]i one of the most popular of taverns and it was particularly popular with the young men of Boston and surrqunding. country, partly for the -reason that mine host Cogneau had several very attractive and lively daughters who | added a great deal to the charms of ‘the hostelry. Their father had the privilige of seeing two. of them mar- ried in the tavern, one of them becom- ing the wife of Col. William Falfrey, the famous: Revolutionary patriot. He became the grandfather. of the noted writerd John' G. Palfreys o neinc - o} -~ Another daughter: of this genial host of the Sun tavern married a successful printer named Fleet. During the siege of Boston the British seized the housq and they changed -its name to the King’s Arms. ‘But when thie Red Coats had been chased out of Boston the sign of the King’s Arms quickly disap peared. and the old sign of the Sun Tavern took its place and the tavern took “on its olden time.popularity. - It has for many years been used as a fish market. G 2 -Sulu Women Warrlors. In the Philippines American soldiers on several occasions came in contac{ with Sulu women warriors. In one of the last battles on the islands the Sulus fortified themselves in the bow] of an extinct volcano. It was rushed and captured by American soldlers, who discovered to their dismay, after the battle, that a number of their am tagonists had been women. Their fig. ures were as slim as those of the menj both sexes wore their hair long, with handkerchiefs over their heads, and the women wore trousers similar to those worn in Turkey. Thus they were practically’ indistinguishable from th¢ men, The bravery of these women warriors appears all the more remarks able when it is recalled that according to the Mohammedan faith a man whe is sldin while fighting -Christians g translated at once to heaven, but at the women are not supposed to have souls their sacrifice of life is withoul hope of reward in a hereafter. 8Sane, but Insane. Sane but mad, according.to the doc tors, a man has been released from & London asylum. He had been suffer ing from insomnia and was given an Injection of some preparation of mor phia, the effects of which were prac |’ tically unknown. He went to stay at a boarding house and in giving a read ing from Dickens impersonated Pick. wick. As “Pickwick” was in the mid- dle of his performance the doctor whe had attended him came to the house, and, assuming his dressing up to be an act of insanity, gave a certificate next day for his removal to the couns try asylum.
