He Got Turnin Seed

There is IL gentleman in Alexandria
who involuntarily started farm. 1t
happened this way: His front yard was
as barren Of grass rs Bill Nye's head is
Of any hirsutc adornment With view
to having it green and pretty he went
over to the agricultural department and
begged some lawn seed, which were
willingly given him by Secretary Nor
ton. Ho then returned homo, and with
much satisfaction and expectation plant
cd them. Pictures Of beautiful green
lawn and ncighbors green with envy
were conjured up before his fanciful
mind, and he watched the beaming sun-
shine and refreshing April showers with
the deepest interest.
In few days the sprouts began to
show above the earth But they were
very curious looking sprouts, and they
seemed about as much like blades of
grass as a spade is like pick. The gen
tleman began an Investigation. The
sprouts began to grow with rapidity,
and in u few weeks there was more pros.
pect Of having vegetable garden than
lawn. Authorities were consulted.
and after time it was discovered that
MIR. Morton had made mistake. In
stead Of grass he had presented the
Alexandrian with turnip seed -
