Mrs. Hardy, having recovered her
good nature thought to divert the con-
versation by saying, 81 hear that
Jones is going to sell his place."
Eyes," replied Hardy, 'sthere has
been man, with his wife to look at
it but the wife was not suited and I
have word that they will be here soon
to look at mine 1 am working extra
hard to make things as inviting as
possible"
When the appetizing supper and
period of rest had somewhat restored
the weary husband, Mrs. Hardy re-
ferred to the boarding of help which
though ignored at the time she did
not intend to pass over, for while TOO
brave to shirk responsibilities properly
| belonging to her, she saw too wise to
assume those which belonged to 9th
ers, so she said (while the blue eyes
looked softly yet squarely into the
gray ones), "Do you think it would be
economy to board our help. You
know we talked it over and you decid
ed that wages and board of kitchen
help coupled with the waste incident
to carelessness and inexperience
would fully equal the amount saved,
but if you have changed your mind,
we will change the programme.
Farmer Hardy knew that the plan
adopted was not only a saving pecuni
arily, but also of much care and an
noyance, but like Adam, after he had
eaten the apple which might have
been green, giving rise to unpleasant
feelings Mr.. Hardy wanted to cast the
responsibility from himself, as little
caring as did Adam, whether it fell
Hardy, while blessed with more am
pie draperies than Adams wife would
not permit her husband to hide be-
hind them, and he was compelled to
say that matters might as we'll remain
as they were and the responsibility
was shifted from the slender to the
broad shoulders where it rightfully
belonged. Mrs. Hardy was equally de
termined to vindicate her practically
and her precious flowers, but not now
She was too wise a tactician to at
tempt too many strong holds at once,
so remem bering that Cali things come
to him who waits was content.
At the time appointed, the Welches
came, having been driven from the
depot by Mr.. Hardy, who, eager to
show the advantages of the we'll APP
pointed and neatly kept farm, drove
into the side gates, ignoring the
front yard with it's glorious wealth Of
beauty and sweetness, nesting under
the branches of majestic oaks and
yelled in mystic moss. Mrs. Welch
entered the rear of the house and was
pleased with the neatness, care and
taste displayed, even here, where it
is most apt to be lacking. Kitchen
and closets were arranged with
view to making housekeeping pleas
ant and easy. She was much pleased
to find what is too often lacking in

and like you, begin to feel the infirmi-

"Your getting tired" said John, sis
of your own choosing. Were you as
tired as you say, it hardly seems that
you would have been working at those
worthless flowers which, so far as [
can see, exist only, to open one more
channel for the foolish expenditure OF
time and money. Ny work is neces-
sary and of the practical sort"
ooh john" said Mrs. Hardy, ''little
do you know what flowers are to my
life and how / love them. I did not
intend to Lift hand, but just went
among them to rest and look upon
their fair, dainty features and inhale
the sweet odors, but first one and then
tendril or tiower-laden branch, for
some needed attention which you
found me almost unconsciously be-
slowing and when you came the tired
feeling was nearly forgotten. Time
spent with flowers is not improbable
to me, and as for money, do we not
spend it for pictures and in ornament
ing premises, personal belongings and
dress, which have no use only as
by pleasing the senses they give add
ed charms to life? Yet you do not
regard these as a foolish waste of
money. We take pleasure in hand

From this beginning by a system of

only when you are able to get money
for them. I regard all the time and
money spent on that front yard as
wasted, but if you are suited, L don't
mind, only, [ sometimes wish you
were little more practical; Jones by
keeping fewer hands and by boarding
them, makes more than I do, though

said Mr.. Welch.
81 will explain" said Mr.. Hardy.
''Mrs Jones takes the place of a man
in the field saving wages and board,
the daughters have done the same
while the son has to go through life
uneducated because aus a boy he was
kept out of school to do chores, by
this practical mother. AS age increas-
ed his usefulness, his chance for an
education did not improve"
'Yes," said Hardy, sit makes diff
ference whether the work be done in
the family or by hired help"
But while insisting that his farm
ed above what Jones asked, yet he did
not comprehend that the difference
was due to his wife and not to him
self.
'"This," said Mr. Welch, accounts
for the condition of the home for no
woman can be mistress of home and
Held mana TOO.
''You speak truly" said his wife
land as you have seen Mr.. Hardy's
farm l want you to see Mrs. Hardy's,'
and she led the way to the flower
garden. Mr.. WEIGH was evidently
greatly surprised and pleased, al
though too shrewd in business mat
ters to express much enthusiasm but
his wife must have him note the
grand trees which it takes so long to
grow and which many sacrifice IN
stead Of making them pillars of tenn
pie where beauty and purity offer daily
minister to wants which though often
unrecognized, our natures demand.
There, amid her treasures Mrs. Hardy
fancied them saying to her, "Now you
and | will be vindicated' and nodded
back a smiling yes.
After the garden, the house must be
gone through with together, Mrs.
Welch calling attention to the pretti-
ness and nea tness of everything, how
we'll preserved and chosen were pa
pers, paint and fixtures, saying that
the Hardy's would sell their furniture
at a sacrifice as they were to move
quite a distance and here was every
thing ready to go right to living.
But" said her husband, "you OBJ
ject to furniture that has been used"
II always have" said Mrs. Welch,
'but [ do not fear this, Mrs. Hardy is
such practical housewife, but come,
you must see the bathroom" Here
Mrs. Hardy had another triumph for
over this had occurred her first utter
cation with John who thought they
could get on without it, but she was
firm, insisting that cleanliness was es-
sential to comfort and health, more
pleasant than medicine and cheaper
than a doctor she persisted was nice
refreshing bath. Let the parlOr go
and build so it can be added without
changing the part constructed, when
our means will permit. So the room
was built and John wondered why lis
children were so sweet and clean, ana
WHY his wife was fresh and tidy, not
comprehending what an important

pleasing picture. While recognizing
the possibility of making true home
of the Jones place she recognized the
fact that here, in it's full sense was
one ready made. How practical,
thought she, in that which elevates
and brightens life, must be the wo-
man who can make such a home for
her family.
When the indoor survey had been
completed Mrs. Hardy announced that
she must attend to the dinner while,
if she liked, Mrs. Welch might visit
the flower garden. The visitor asked
if she could be of service and was
frankly told that it would be a help
if she would fill the vases and arrange
flowers for the table, the hostess stip-
u,ating that perfect freedom be useG
in picking and arranging, adding that
there need be no fear of impoverish-
ing the plants, as many flowers ought
to be removed to give the buds
chance. Thus commissioned, Mrs.
Welch, with basket in hand, entered
the sacred precincts of Mrs. Hardy's
sanctuary. Glimpses caught from in
doors had prepared her to expect to
see many flowers, but oh, what won
dorus wealth was now revealed as she
went on from group to group of choic-
est flowers, separated by palms and
ferns and screens of dainty vines,
each group of glowing brilliancy en-
powered in shining green and resting
in it's far surroundings like glittering
gem in palmer setting.

Well might one having no idea of the
possibilities of an out of door flower
garden in Florida, be amazed at the
extent and wealth of a collection
which it would cost fortune to main
| tain in cold climate. Here this
wOndrOus treasure was possessed by
an unpretenuous farmers wife. Her
self imposed duty being called to
mind, Mrs. Welch set to work to fill
the basket which seemed so large at
first but was inadequate to hold the
blooms which had need of being
picked.
The gentlemen came in and had
only time to survey hastily the interi-
or of the house when dinner was an
nounced but Hardy had found an OPP
portunity of saying to his wife that
Mr.. Welch would not take the place
as he asked one thousand dollars more
than Jones did. Flowers decorated
the table and were blooming in every
appropriate niche about the rooms as
well as in the cOrsages and cOiffures
of the ladies and button-hole bouquets
were at the gentlemen's plates. Mr..

would suggest that their actions
are prompted more by the

that their change of heart carries
more design than conversion
with it. Az any rate it is safe to
say that the next session Of con

TO the treble Of loskbag up a

such system of banks could

The rate OF interest need not
stand in the way, for the major
portion OF the money that would
be deposited in such banks would
come from bureau drawers, old

They will be willing to accept
any rate Of interest if they are

tion of the ability o. the govern.
ment TO meet its obligations in

urer is compelled to pay out gold
upon these notes when they are
presented so, in times Of panic
or great boarding of gold. the
greenbacks are used 10 draw the
gold out Of the treasury and
when measuaers looking towards
its replacement are enacted the
greedback are again used to
draw il down, thus forming an
endless chain" that whips the
gold out of the treasury as fast
as it is put in.
Several measures have been
proposed among them the cancel
ing Of the greenbacks as fast as
they are redeemed in the natural
order of events and the issu-
ing OF bonds with which TO re
deem them. The cancelling of
the greenbacks as fast as they
are received without putting
something else in their stead
would contract the amount of
money in circulation so much that
it is doubtful if such q PROPOSE
tion will meet with much support.
The second proposition meets
the same objection as the first
and the additional one OF adding
in the neighborhood Of $4,000

scheme suggested by Governor
