She might have sent him her dearest
love, called him a dear boy, shown in
some very imprisoned but discreet
way that she was crazy about him. He
began to recall Emily, to remember
lots of little things she had said and
done to him which pointed to some
exceptional feeling for him. At last
he got the letter. He started and read,
and read. Condensed somewhat, this
was how he related his recollection of
it. After lot of affectionate apologies
to her friend she went on, as near as
he knows:

KILL THE WEEDS.
A Sensible Idea Worthy of Thoughtful and

A Sensible idea Worthy of Thoughtful and

In too many neighborhoods farmers
have prepared Il bountiful crop of
weeds for next years seeding. Along
the roads, in old strawberry patches
and potato fields. in the waste places,
back of the houses, there are millions
of weed seeds ripening at leisure.
Weeds are a curse. We are tired of the
charity which spoke of them as ''plants
whose virtues have not been discOv-
cred" They are the worst of all
enemies of all legitimate plant life, for
the add robbery to murder. If farmers
would only combine against these
tramp weeds, which crowd into road
sides and other waste places, thus es-

garine, they could make solid progress.
The fact that the weeds grow and
flourish upon land that could not be
profitably employed in agriculture,
leads many farmers to consider them
comparatively harmless. This is IA

Exquisite Thoughts Which May beWrOught

Exquisite Thoughts Which May beWrOught
Out In Their Arrangement.
In order to have our plants healthy
and productive the flowers they bean
must be continually cut and removed,
lest they mar greatly the prospect fol
future bloom. This is but a reasona-
bic conclusion. But what to do with
the flowers themselves. Every lover
of these, especially one who has ad.
ministered to their wants, knows well
their alue. Pity it is that we can not
all be so blest as to have that wonder
full knowledge or skill that can take
the hulnblest flowers and add to them
a marvel of beauty and grace by some
simple arrangement of them. But we
are not all so. Much may be gained
by practice and observation in the ar.
rangement of cut flowers. 1t takes
time and patience. 1t is best to begin
with few buds and blossoms at g
time, blending the eolors carefully and
noting the effect. In the simple we ar
ing of little nosegays or a handful OF
the same variety of flowers much
knowledge may be gained. Here we
see a graceful young girl with half
opened rosebud upon her dress, the
effect of which is most charming. An.
other would have worn it carelessly
and the effect would have been lost.
and so here and there some one has
caught the happy idea of filling tiny
vese each day with fresh flowers for
the home. just try it and see. 4
whole world of happy trial opens out
from it. What a new and charming
thought is presented each day to the
observer of it. From this simple daily
| pleasure grows a new grace of basB et
and vase for church offering and sick.
room. Month after month garden and
conservatory, or may be only a few
window plants well cared for, supply
the material for our skill. Sometimes
tits but a grouping of royal pansies,
whose faces smile up at you in q saucy
fashion as you sigh, "Ah, il only
could" Roses, mignonette, ragged
robin and what-not, all take their turn.
But, over and over again, tbs but some
exquisite thought wrought out IN each,
Even a tangle of wild sweet-nriar
serves our purpose. - F1ck's MGQdzine.
