C. NELSON Piano Tuning and Piano and Violin lamps which are vented by English Officer. The most arbitrary city boss in the world, it seems safe to say, as well as the most unscrupulous politiclan of modern times, has turned up in Aintab, Armenia, to judge from an official re- port recently made by Major Stephen Trowbridge, under Gen. Edmund H. H. Allenby’s orders. He 18 a Turk named Besim Bey. Untll the Near East Relief agents stopped bim, he practiced upon the terrified Armenians such forms of super-graft as might well make every other cor rupt politician in the world green with envy, and such cruelties as make all other heartless rulers, from Nero down, seem sweet and gentle char- acters. His office was that of Munic- fpal Chief Accountant of Aintab; but, as all dishonest office-holders know, it isn’t the job that matters, but the sugar-plums that go with it. Besim Bey plucked sugar-plums with both bands, night and day. Hven inspired city bosses have thelr day. Besim Bey's came when tae Near East Rellef agents found that no thorough Armenian relief work could be done in that city while such condi- tions of terrorization existed. General MacAndrew ordered the arrest and removal of the six worst Turks in the ring that ruled the city, and Besim Bey qualified, as usual, for first place. Suspects the Comp. An Ohio paper reports a double wed- ding “where before the altar, Rev. John Nichols officiating, the two couples plighted their troth, exchang- ing the cows which made them man and wife.” Rather odd, that idea of exchanging cows in church. We sus- pect, however, another exchange—that of the compositor, who probably sub- stituted a “c¢” for a “v.” “Nagging” Seldom Pays. Every man works better with en- couragement than with carping crit- fcism. The man that has to be nagged at all the time is not very valuable te anybody. N done in Newark, says an exchange, we may be pardoned for citing the experience of that town—though it is our own. In 1904 Newark, acting un- der a state law, created a shade-tree commission. To this body (of three members) was committed the “exclu- sive and absolute control and power to plant, set out, maintain, protect and care for shade trees in any of the public highways of the municipality.” In 1905 a supplementary law trans- ferred to the commission’s control the care and improvement of “the public parks belonging to the municipality or any department in the government thereof.” In 1908 the commission was empowered “to pass, enact alter, amend and repeal ordinances for the protection, regulation and control of all shade trees” situated “in the public highways” of the city. And now, briefly, what has come of this? It at once raised the status of the then existent street trees. These fine old stately growths, which had come down to us out of the past from the fathers, but which for so long had been strangers to considerate treat- ment, were now seen to be set apart as objects of government’s special care, as wards of a municipal depart- ment specially created to care for and protect them, and empowered to en- force considerate treatment of them. Here was the germ of what has since unfolded into a public sentiment which had not theretofore existed—a new and unique sentiment in favor of the trees, that goes on increasing. Anything Else? Sapp—Ah, there, bright eyes, is the boss in? Snapp—NDb, he is not. Sapp—Will he be bhack-after lunch? Snapp—No, that is what he went after. Dog Must Wear Bell. Asheville, N. C.—The city authori- ties have announced that every canine resident of this city must wear a bell during the next year, and to prove thelr earnestness they have purchased a large supply of the necessary orna- ments for distribution among the own- ers of dogs here. at once efficient in operation and re- markable for a classic beauty of design. Placed on a concrete safety | island in the cen- vard, each lamp is raised 14 feet from the pavement by a slender col- umn_ of bronze. The lamp itself is designed to pro- duce a maximum of {llumination both- downward and out- ward.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Co-operative Building. The wasteful and unscientific Amer- ican method of laying out all the streets and installing sewer, water and gas over a large area, and then selling off a lot at a time here and there over many years, leaving each owner or occupant continually uncertain as to the class of building or kfhd of neighbor who may later buy and build upon adjoining lots, is thus avoided. In addition, by planning and contract- ing for the construction at one time of a group of houses of from fifty to two hundred and fifty in number it is not only possible to obtain a more harmonious and attractive group- ing of architectural designs, but it is possible to give each house certain benefits available from the location and disposition of neighboring dwell- ings, to avoid placing back doors in front of living room windows, and to give each owner all the benefits possible for group or co-operative buy- ing, Quite Encugh. “The cook says she wants some more crash in the kitchen” “I must say I don’t, since I heard her washing the dishes out theve.” Knew. ze how much your “Don’t you re: life means to me?” “Sure; if 1 die you get my insur- ance.” Gtcft year to year.
