The ailvantages of narrow roadways on streets are well known to mnny en gine, rs. but the citiz -n are not so Well mlvlsed. To speak way Is apt to cans against any nr.rrov. for tiiey usually thli i narrow road pie to exclaim . of the street, of the roadway as being more than ju-t Ihe wltllh be tween curbs. No sensible person would cdvocate any narrowing of tlie streets. Tiny are often much too narrow. Many persons are deterred from lay-In,- pavements, however much they may be ilc-!tvd, because of Utu large llrst cost, says the Minneapolis Journal. If this cost can be reduced by providing less roadway to be paved much more pav.-mcat will be laid. The width of any roadway should be adapted to the trallle demands- tlu' greater the IratUc the w ider the road, nud vice versa. The advantages of a narrow road are: I'irst. lessened original cost; sec ond, maintenance, a sprinkling cart be ing able to cover a twenty four foot roadway with one passage, thus re ducing the cost of Fprinkling; the cost tif sweeping nnd repairing the pave ment Is also reduced; third, healthful ness. the stretch of green grass on either si 1" of the roadway being much more healthful thnn nny pavement; fourth, advantages In lighting, ns the street lamps may be placed away from the trees; fifth, tlie stretch of earth und grass afl'i rd.-i better means for wnter to get at the loom of trees; sixth, the ga nnd water mains, etc., being under the grass plots, there is no necessity of tear ing up the pavement with the well known evil results; seventh, less sur fuee for (lie collection of dirt aud dust. Tlw- only objections offered to narrow ron.hvays an- that a twenty-four foot roadway will not accommodate Its traf fic and that teams cannot turn around. The traliic of a street will determine the width of roatl, and ll will be easy to widen ut little cost if the trallle de mands It at any future time. Any waLian that Is too large to turn within twenty four feet can go to the llrst Ftnet inlersivtion. The saving In cost by paving but twenty-four feet as against thirty amounts to S7.0-IH per mile If the cost of pavement Is $J per s.p-.are ynrd. Every foot that the pavement Is nar rowed saves $1.17o per mile and each owner of a lifty foot lot the sum t.C So.oT. The amount that Is spent oa paving the extra width of street where It is not needed, to say nothing of the cost of maintenance, could be devoted to extending Hie paving and thus secur ing greater benelits to the town at large. ALL TOOK A HAND. How an Indiana Toivn V Irnurd IIh lllrena, A town in Indiana wns clt-ainil re cently at very little expense and In rather a novel manner and now looks ns If an army of "white wings" had gone over It. The members of the vil lage Improvement society decided that the town n.t-ded a general cleaning li and notice to that effect was published In the local newspaper. The society asked every one to aid It, particularly the school children, and announced that after the work was over lee cream nnd cake would tie served. The day set f :? the cleaning wns on Saturday, and the work was begun la the morning nnd kept up until late in tho evening. Men, women nnu cmi- dren, armed with rakes, hoes and heavy brooms, took bold with a will, nnd pa per, leaves, sticks and ether matt.-r were raked Into heaps and (nrtcd away. Rome positive nuisances were Cleaned up which soon would have m quired the attention of the board of health. The town's enterprising Improvement association has been in existence only two years, but during that time It has accomplished a great deal. Through its efforts two new schoolhouses have been built, a fine library secured, ninny shade trees planted nnd the residential streets Improved 100 Jer cent. Its one run anil object Is to make the town a better place to live In Enllatlaac rkllUran'a Aid. The pioneer in civic Improvement work, an association in Stockbrldge, Mass., long ago saw the necessity of Interesting euildrea In town ImproTe- luent. and In another town where the boys nnd girlrf were trying to maintain beautiful surroundings a disinterested man offered ft to any boy or girl who catilil cultivate the best Bower bed. Sev eral town in Missouri, among tlie'a Carthage and lietliiiny, offer prlxes e ery summer nml urge children to ex hibit at their county fairs. In some In stances boys who are employed as newsboys carry water long distances after school hours that the little patcb .outside their forlorn homes may be cul tivated. Htill another phase of the work Is seen in Howrdale. ra., where the children pick np papers on the street and deposit them In tin cans pro vided for the purpose. To Boana aV Tafra. This ia an era of hustling. The doc tor, lawyer. Insurance man, real estate Kent and mechanic find competition and mnst hustle to met it. Aa wltb men so with towns.

U ERI Ii" (Otistnal. Carl Eroaft, expert in chlrography, sat In his study in the city of Berlfa examining by lamplight a package of papers. Whllo thus engaged the door opened and a stranger entered. Krnaft had that afternoon testified in a murder case. In which be bad shown conclusively that the prisoner had written threatening letters to the murdered man. The expert's reasons why these letters bad been written by tie same person ns letters proved to have been written by the prisoner were so convincing that the Jury would have convicted him without leaving thoir seats. But the case must be summed up by prosecuting attorney and counsel, and that would require another day. "Herr Krnaft," said the visitor, "I listened to your testimony today In the Keller case, nnd my confidence In your skill Is so great that I have decided to employ you In a case I have In hand." "I'lease be seated, sir." "Here Is a letter which came to light after an Interval of twenty years. It was written In 1840. You will remem ber that the year prevlons occurred the revolutlonof ISIS. During that troublous period a prominent member of the leg islative bisly defied the revolutionists, throwing all his Influence with the gov ernment. He statist to several Intimate friends that he had U-eii threatened with death by Ihe revolutionists It he did not cease tils opposition to their work, tine day ho was found dead, and evorylKidy knew that be had been murdered. Nevertheless the murderer or murderers were never discovered. This letler. recently found among the papers of the murdered man that es- ap-il notice ut the time of the mur der, was evidently written by the leader of n revolutionary sociely and threat ened him with death If he did not ac cede to the socl'-ty'sMlemnnds." The speaker threw the letter on the desk before the expert.

The siieekcr llo-.-w three more Inters on tho desk, wj;.'.! Kraafl opened and appeared to study i-il -ntly for n time. then said: of Ohorl: name of been vw b cause 1 I beck di d son 1 !:: be Idlers bearing the name ami hear! tin i i cannot possibly have y tie same person be to i- m, l.i'- -r that ler I, vo-,- t-i is; i.

In deed, so near that a corn-r of It caught tire. In a twinkling the flame was blown out by the visitor, who covered the expert at the same time with a re volver. Tardon me." said the latter. "Your carelessness came near costing a life." "How so." "You arc not only to study this case, but you are to go over your testimony given today with a view to seeing If yon have not been mistaken." "What is your Interest In that case?" 'Th prisoner Is my brother nnd an innocent man. That I know, though I can't prove it." "How did yon get these letters?" "I am- the grandnepbew of Herr Keller, who wns murdered by the revo lutionary committee, probably by Hans Ohcilavk himself. The Olai-bet!; let ter only came into t-iy possession a year ngo.
