THE PAPER NUISANCE : i One of the unsightly nuisances of a l town is the scattering paper nuisance from one end to the other of every , street from curb to curb with the side , walks all littered up with refuse papers , and scraps of all kinds carelessly drop- , ped, most of them dirty and many of | them filthy and loathsome. We cannot ; but think of beautiful white pa|>er a> , an emblem of purity, of eliMraoler, to , be written upon by the hand of time ( and influence, but found lying upon ; the street, partly covered with dirt anil | grime, made by rain or dew and dust. It becomes an offensive emblem of degre- j datiun and from which anyone of clean habits and taates shrinks. And without distinction of color all papers subjected to the same elementa whether lying in the gutter, street or ' sidewalk— heuonti- proportionately filthy. Just here we want to add a suggestion or more to both the thoughtless ^ and reckleas strewers of paper of all kinds, and also to the residents who suffer from these unseemly habits. We cannot blame the children for every needless annoyance, (irown people will walk along as we have seen them, . notably from the post office, tear open ] the envelopes o( their letters and clr- , culars and quickly scanning the contents for which they have no further use, throw them on the sidewalk or ; ' oat in the street to be 'trampled upon eery soon to be smirched and filthy carried by the wind into our fences or under, our hedges if not into our yards. It would la- too much to say this is ' ! * reckless, but thoughtless surely it Is, to litter tin- sidewalks and lawns of our , ' neighbors. But there an- exceptions as ' the following, when you we a man or • ' woman doing this and yet carefully | ' avoiding to do it before their own hotne. we call it reckless— a reckless disregard ' for others and of neighborly respect. [ It should be remembered that it is by I the little tilings in life that the true character of a man is most frequently! judged. There are many ways in which civilly as well as morally we are our j brother's keejier and among these Is ! to care enough for his interest to see that his property is adequately pro- 1 tected from constant annoyance. It is not only a neighborly interest but a moral interest in him and his family in the home that we owe him. But our suggestion to the .resident* is that every one do what he can to abate this .nuisance. For everyone to clear your own aidewalk and lawn at you find it from day to day, notwithstand-^ ing thoughtless people continue to impose on you this task. A habit thus established, showing how anxious you ; are to keep to a fair degree, a clean up,

may give an effective hint to the careless passerby. And if all do our share we shall contribute very materially toward cleaniug the streets and sidewalks of these eyesores and vastly imthe appearance of our otherwise beautiful streets. 1 In concluding this article we do not overlook the fact that the advertising matter thrown into our yards or handed I to us in passing or posted on the fence may be of advantage to many. But the don't-care spirit often so^n after hastily gleaning the information contained in them in dropping them around instead of carrying them home! to bo burned. Tlioy can soon be gathered j from our premises and destroyed if not j further needed for reference. CLEANUP.

' ( LINCOLN'S SECRETARY OF WAR In these warlike days it is interesting 1 to read, about those who were connected t with the gigantic military operations of the past. One of these men so connect- 3 e«l is Edwin M. Stanton, who was Sec- 4 retary of War during the Rebellion A most convincing picture of him is < given in the October Lippincott's * by 1 James Matlack Scovil. r "Stanton was a man of full habit, ' stocky, about five feet teh In height. •' habitually wore a long beard half < way to his waist, without a mustache. the ordinary or casuat visitor he 1 was stern, unyielding, and forbidding, for those who knew him best he had a tender heart. He was the incarnation of duty. I have known liim for a week I to remain in the War Department twen- - tv Bours out of the twenty-four, and ( the stars have gone out of the sky < and morning come in the past, while he ] and the president were bending over the < telegraph instrument, waiting for good « news from, the soldier of whom Stanton < said. ' He is as slow as a Virginia ( creeper.' < "At 9 AO in the morning it was his ] habit to ride up in a coupe to the War Department, walk up the steps, and go ] his desk in the reception room, i

where he stood for many hours in the ( day. Here he scanned the many faces j whose owners were awaiting his move- t ments. And woe to the man caught t with his hand unlawfully in the public j Treasury! The chances were he would Im- reposing in the old Capitol Prison be- | forc niglit. j "When Andrew Johnson became Pres- j ident, Stanton placed detectives in the White House to watch him. charging j treasonable motives on the Commander- ( in-chief. Johnson naturally resented f this, and ordered Stanton out of the War Department. Senator Sumner | his place in the Senate telegraphed | one word. 'Stick'; and he stuck, , barricading himself in the War Department. eating and sleeping in his private , office for many weeks. He alleged that Johnson had threatened to drive what called the 'Rump' Congress oiit of the Capitol with bayonets. ( "The heroic struggle during the four he stood side by side with Lincoln too much even for the man of . •blood and iron.' Within a year from the day he left the War Department his gave way.
