City Co-operates With Merchants. The spirit of co-operation shown by the city officials and the business men and property owners of North Ninth street regarding the installation of arnamental lights is commendable. The board of works entered heartily into the project after its scope and purpose had been definitely presented, the result being that the street lighting on North Ninth street has become a model in Indiana, and, as some traveling men assert, in the United States. Members of the board of works are fully satisfied with the lights on North Ninth street, and they have asserted that they will meet merchants on other streets and along Main street with the same generous spirit that they showed the North Ninth street property owners. This ought be an inducement for other merchants in the business district to push the installation of a new lighting system. Superintendent Kleinknecht of the municipal light plant and City Engineer Charles worked out the details of the instllation. Their advice and counsel helped bring the new system up to the high state of efficiency which it has shown. The total cost of the installation including the alley and street intersections was borne by the property owners. In return for the payment of the installation at the crossings, part of which might have been borne by the city, the administration took over the whole system, promising to maintain it and pay the cost of the light. This offer of the administration is open to merchants of any section in the business district who want their thoroughfares lighted in metropolitan style. It is hoped that more units of the ornamental lighting system will be installed' soon. The thorough work of the costruction has been complimented. Working under the supervision of Mr. Kleinknecht, the Richmond Electric company installed a system that has received many compliments of city officials and citizens.

Color Blindness. Many 'persons are "color blind" when they look about their city. They, cannot see waste, inefficiency, squandering of public funds, misapplication of public money, faults that need to be' remedied. Often it benefits a city if a stranger comes in, looks over the situation without fear or favor, studies civic problems without a political prejudice, makes a survey of the city, and then fearlessly tells the municipality what its faults are. A stranger seldom has color blindness. He can see the good and bad points, detect an advantage and spot a glaring defect. His counsel and advice is worth hearing and heeding. If more citizens were thoroughly acquainted with their city, were bound to it wfth ties of intense loyalty, more of its good qualities would be developed and many of its weaknesses would be eliminated.

Classifying Citizens. E. G. Routzahn of the Russell Sage Foundation of New York recently gave utterance to the following: "Somebody with a turn for classification and a healthy amount of impatience for the do-nothing brand of citizens and the citizen who goes off half-cocked on public matters, has divided all individuals into four groups : "Those who sit and think and then act ; "Those who sit and think ; "Those who merely sit; and "Those who sit and act, but omit the thinking." The observation is to the point. Successful civic progress depends upon a study of problems, the development of a solution, and the practical application of the remedy.

Knowledge and Wisdom. A man who knows much, is not necessarily a wise man. There is a tremendous difference between knowledge and wisdom. Webster defines wisdom: Knowledge of the best ends and the best means; discernment and judgment. Knowledge is a simple apprehension of facts. A public official may have a wide knowledge of public affairs, but that does not make him an efficient servant of the people. He must combine ability to adopt the best means with his knowledge. f Many college boys have knowledge of civic affairs, perhaps more knowledge than a citizen, but the student lacks experience and discernment. Hence, he would not make a wise official. The wise city or state official is the man who has knowledge, judgment, discernment.

Copyright, 1916, by the McCiure Little Pete was hungry. As he sat , dreaming about the great world of which he had heard his uncle speak of the king who lived in a magnificent palace, of the beautiful Princess May he forgot to watch the dinner pot j which hung from a big hook over the i

fire. And In a moment the soup boiled over, making a cloud of steam that filled the room. "What is all this about?" cried the gruff voice of the uncle as he came in with a load of wood in his arms. "Can't you attend to your business a moment right? You are not worth the salt you eat. Instead of working you wish to spend your tii e fishing and playing with that silly crow." Pete ran to the pot and lifted it to the table, but as he did so, some of the broth spilled on the floor. "Here, get out of this," roared the uncle in a rage. "Get your fishing pole and old crow and leave at once." Then he opened the door and with a jerk pushed the boy outside. Pete stumbled to the shed, for his ryes were blinded with tears. It was a sad home, but the only one he knew and now he was to be turned out into the world alone to starve. But down the path old Jack, the crow, came hopping briskly to perch on the lad's shoulder. . "It's all right, Jacky," whispered Pete bravely. "I am going, but I will take you along with me. I don't own anything in the world except my pole and you I will put your little barrel on my back, too, so you. at least, will have something in which to sleep." So with the fishing pole in his hand, the small barrel dangling from his hack and the crow sitting on his shoulder, Pete set out down the path in the gathering dusk of the late afternoon.

r'cv. paper Gy::d:ca'-e, New York. The road he took led toward the great. Black Forest, but he had not gone far before he heard the sound of galloping hoofs and a herald swept up. He was clothed in red velvet trimmed with gold, and rode a prancing white horse. At his lips was a silver bugle on which he was blowing briskly. "Have you heard the news, lad?" shouted the herald as he caught sight of Pete. "Our beautiful Princess May was stolen away while out hunting this afternoon it is thought that Prince Carlo, who lives in the next kingdom, has done the deed because she refused to become his bride. The king says that anyone who rescues his daughter shall become the bridegroom." And the herald swept on toward the distant city.

Pete entered the woods, and as soon as it was dark he climbed a tree, tak

ing up with him his pole, the crow and the little barrel. The branches were strong and thick, so the boy arranged the things comfortably and sat back in the leaves with his head against the trunk of the tree. But presently there came again the sound of hoofs, md -a horseman appeared leading a Kteed on which was seated a weeping lady. Her dress, which was of purple silk, was so covered with jewels that it shene even in the darkness of the woods. Pete knew that this was the stolen princess. Eut he kept still and listened. "I have lost my way in this forest," said the soldier, as he helped the princess from the horse. "So we must stop here tonight and go on in the morning to Prince Carlo's kingdom." Then he prepared to cook some supper, while May sat on a log and wept. Pete thought of a plan to rescue the lady. He gave Jack a shake and the crow cawed in a dismal voice. "What is that noise," exclaimed the soldier; running down the road to see. As soon as the man's back was turned Pete let down his fishing line and caught hold of the pan and pulled it up the tree. When the soldier re-

turned and found the pan gone, he was astonished. Then Pete made the crow caw loudly again. The man jumped around suddenly, and as he came back under the boy Pete let the barrel drop right down on his head. It was a small barrel, and as it slipped it held the man so tight he could not see or move his arms. Pete scrambled down from the tree. "You are the Princess May," he said taking off his ragged cap and bowing low before the lady. "Mount this horse and I will lead you home." So the princess dried her tears and got on the horse while the crow perched behind. Pete left the soldier stumbling about in the woods with the barrel on his head, while he trotted rapidly out of the forest leading the princess' steed. About dawn he saw the white walls of the castle rising in the distance, and in a short time he knocked at the huge, iron gate. When the guard saw the princess they sat up- a great shout and that brought the king tramping down the steps holding his crown in one hand rubbing his eyes with the other. The queen next came tripping out to embrace her daughter, and bugles blew, the cannon roared and all about the courtyard there was shouting and dancing in great glee. As the king stepped up to Pete to

to be my husband there are plenty i

of fine robes for you in the castle and plenty of room for Jack, too." So Pete and the princess were mar rted amid great rejoicing and the wedding feast lasted for three days.
