BEST OF ENGLISH GARDENING
American Parks Show Highest Ex
pression of Natural Style In
Landscape Work.
Though many of our citizens abroad
rave oor the parks nnd gardcnB of
Europe that are famous examples of .
formal or architectural gardening, thin ,
style has not found lodgment In the
hearts of the American people Much I
has been said about our not bring an
Anglo-Saxon race, but our tasto In
park building Is one with that of the
English people. Landscape, natural
or English gardening, call It what you ,
will, originated with tho English
people and Ilnda Its highest expres
sion In the parks of our country In
Golden Gate park In San Francisco
wo may sco ono of tho grandest ex- i
amples In tho United States, nnd It '
was built by n Scotchman who still
continues to mold Its present and ,
plan Its future.
In tho English style of park building
tho grandeat examples may bo seen
in the simple copying of nature, and
Us reproduction in places previously
laid waste by the hand of mnn, or In
those barren parts where little natu
ral beauty was present, man has prac
ticed "the art that doth mend" nature
until under his plastic hand all has
become beautiful Ono cannot see in
Buch places even a suggestion of thi
French, Italian or other styles, but
will notice that tho simplo needs of
the landscape havo been met. That
is the general conception of English
and American parks, though small for
mal gardens of tho older stylo may
bo imposed upon the natural In appro
priate spots. In Trench and Italian
parks, especially tho smaller ones, the
visitor feels the presenco of man In
the studied scheme, and a conscious
effort for effect.
TO SAVE JOB OF FORESTER
Important Office In Chicago In Dan
ger of Perishing for Lack
of Funds.
An appropriation by tho Chicago
council for the city forester was a
Christmas gift suggestion mado by
Eames MacVeagh He offered It as
an officer of tho Municipal Art league.
The council appropriated $6,0Gu lu9t
year for civic forestry Mr. Mac
Veagh says tho forestpr has done
much with this limited sum, but that
to expect him to make Chicago beau
tiful with this expenditure is ridicu
lous. He fflN nttention to much larg
er appropriations which smaller cities
have given similar offices.
"In Chicago thero are more than
2,000 miles of residenco streets," said
Mr MacVeagh "It is possible to
maintain trees and parkways along
most of them, but only a small mile
age is so planted Tho value of trees
to public health is generally recog
nized. The ethical inlluence of green
foliage in creating attractive sur
roundings for tho homo are more
vaguely appreciated. Trees, however,
stimulate so pleasantly the sense of
beauty in eveiy normal being that
any defense of tree planting becomes
almost unnecessary."
Planting Firmly.
Failure in planting of trees and
shrubs is often caused by not firming
tho plants in tho ground A plant or
tree that does not havo tho soil prop
erly pressed around tho roots Is ery
slow to take hold and in tho caso of
trees that sway in the wind it invaria
bly means failure if tho season is at all
unfavorable.
Dig good sized holes, twice as deep
and as wide as the size of the roots
requlro, fill in again with sufficient soil
that the plant may rest on it at the
proper dapth (by a glance at tho plant
you will readily seo how deep it has
been in the ground before), then All
in around the roots with fine soil, lim
ing with the foot or rammer ns you
proceed When completely tilled up it
should be as firmly in the ground as if
it had been growing for come time.

S soon as plans, designed by
Stnto Superintendent of Pub
lic Buildings and Grounds A.
B Conloy, nnd approved by
Governor Colquitt, can be car
ried into execution, tho historic Ala
mo will present a different appearance
to visitors to Sen Antonio, and, for
that matter, to San Antoninus them
selves. Gocrnor Colquitt wants tho
old mission, whero tho seed that
sprouted into Texas liberty was first
planted, to bo restored to as ncaily Its
original condition as possible.
Thero has been for years n differ
ence of view as to just what wa3 the
physical condition of tho Alamo on
the Gth of March, 1S:!G, and an even
greater dlvcigcncc of opinion as to
tho actual arrangement of the old con
vent stiucture adjoining. But Gov
ernor Colquitt is not willing for mere
differences of this nature to longer le
tard tho doing of a public work that
should havo been attended to long
ago.
At a cost of $50,000 the state, sev
eral years ago, bought of Hugo
Schmeltzer & Co tho old convent
pioperty adjoining the Alamo chapel.
This wholesale grocery firm had been
usi.ig for commercial purposes part of
a property dear to liberty lovers ov
ry"lieto Nobody thought any the less of
them under the circumstances, and
when a movement to have the state
take over tho land and the old walls
was crystallized, the price fixed by the
Huge Sthmcltzer Interests was i sat
isfactory as to seem generous, mo
pioperty bought for $50,000 would
piobably sell today for ten times this
sum
it 13 the purpose of the governor to
have the entire mission renovated and
made to look just like it did when it
was used by tho Franciscan monks
ami the sisters who conducted the
convent Already the tenants who
weie using tho old buildings have
been ousted. It is deslied after all
the dobri3 is removed, to make a park
of the inclosuro and to have it Just as
much of a beauty spot as Is the 10
mninder of Alamo plaza Architects
and landrcape expoits say thin ran bo
dono within a ory tew jears, and
there is not a San Antonlnn who does
not hail the plans with pieasuie
Nobody ought to form the idea that
tho Alamo chapel, tho old church
whero the massacre of Crockett and
Howie and the ic3t of those dauntless
touls took place, has ever been used
except as a show -place, as the shrine
of mpny thousands who hao journey
ed thither lrom all paits of tho
world It ii tttif, howovor, that
tradesmen for cars occupied tho old
convent, which onco formed tho lar
ger part of the mission proper, it
was not until a few months ago that
nil thews men were forbidden to use
tho premises.
No other spot in Texas, and few
anywhere in tho world, arc filled with
half the historic interest that at
taches to tho Alamo It hnb been
known to historians for 75 jeais as
tho crudlo of Texas libel ty," and It
deserves. In the mind of every Texan,
all the glory that has been heaped
upon It It is a matter of regret and
humiliation to every Texan that bet
ter care has not been taken of tho
old pile and all its adjuncts by tho
state authorities.
Story of the Alamo.
Know tho story of tho Alamo? It's
flno stuff for American men. It stands
out In tho historic pages of the
past century as tho true expression of
tho Lone Star spirit.
It was on tho 23d of February, 1SSG,
that General Santa Ana, with an army
of 1,000 Mexicans, invested tho vil
lage of San Antonio, and stormed tho
Alamo Texas had boon declared in
n stnto of rebellion, tho Inhabitants
had been ordered to disarm, and the
invasion of Santa An.i had followed
as thunder follows tho lightning Hash.
Gen. Sam Houston, the military lead
er of tho "rebels" had no army Tboio
were no railroad or telegraph linos by
which to summon tho scattered fight
ers. But Colonel Travis with Davy'

hold the enemy until Houston was
read) At first thero was a slender
ciianco of rescue, but it dlsappeaicd
as tho days went by, and the ilfle
men quickly knew that the fate of
Texas rested upon them. There vub
no talk of surrender, of safety, of es
cape. They know that the world
would not hear of their prowess until
after they were dust; that there was
no gallery of admiring friends to
cheer them to their doom; tho foe
outnumbered them 20 to 1; horse,
foot and aitlllory stormed, enfiladed,
rushed them. Hungry, famished and
without sloop, they crouched upon tho
flat roof of tho Alamo, behind tho
low masonry of tho projecting walls
for days and nights, as cool as squirrel
hunters, as gay as boys in a snowball
fight, as patient and as relentless a3
tho vindictive Indian at bay. The fato
of Texas was In their hands, nnd they
knew it. But when, at last, their am
munition gone, nnd quick death at
hand Colonol Trais nsked them
how man wiblied to "htu with Mm
to tho finish," only one man hesitated.
He had fought well for ten days. Ho
was Lravc, but he preferred to live.
1 think it was CrocKett who said:
"Oh, come on, Mr. Hoso; you've got
to die anyhow, some day. Might as
woll dio with us."
And he said it without recrimina
tion, without a sneer, just ns he would
have fcaid: "Be a good fellow and take
a drink with us!"
It was early the next morning, after
Hose had been aided to escape, that
tho mcAictua kuuw Unit tiiu liuili 0,

the rllles from the roof became Infre

Santa Ana's men had alieady fallen
and were buried. Three thouband
more, with fixed bayonets, backed by

ladders, now surged to tho final as
sault. Up they swarmed like angry
bees to bo met at the summit by
the gaunt Texans, n handtul now, but
terilhlo In the last ccstacy ot a sub
llmo and superhuman sacrifice. The
awful "Bowie Knlte," clubbed lilies,
boards wrenched from tho altars of
tho desecrated church, such wero the
weapons with which this forlorn gar
rison, met and hurled from tho walls
lu two short hours nearly a thousand
dead and ding Mexicans. And when,
by sheer weight of numbers, they
wero at last forced, step by btcp,
fiom tho embattled roor of this lioiibo
of heroism, they descended into the
dark cliuich to mako a last rally hy
the cot where tho wounded, fevor
Binltten Bowie lay, his pistols loaded
with a farewell volley. It was hero
that Bowio died, transfixed by a icoro
of Mexican liayonets Outsido, with
In sound of his leader's voice, Crock

his back against tho barred oaken
door of the church, smoto with his up

fell benonth his thrashing flail. And
Travis, dying at his feet, could only
cheer for Texas And so they per
ished, every ono. And tho "con

to the Alameda, now a part of Con

was the beacon or Texas freedom.
