Dodge City gardeas are luxuriant with
foliage, and the fruit trees are filed with
already formed fruit. Tuesday we visi
ted Waldo Tarbox's premises and found
vegetation in semi-trOpical exuber-
ance. The fruit trees promise an abun-
dance, and vegetation is growing finely.
Mr.. Tarbox says he never saw cherry
trees, peach trees and gOOseberry bushes
with such abundant fruit. The dense
foliage on the place makes it cosy and
attractive; and under careful attention,
with thorough cultivation, all plants and
trees are growing wonderfully. A sacca-
lene plant adorns one of the hooks of the
garden. This plant is prodigious
grower, and the stalks attain height Of
seven feet in one season. 1t is prolific
forage plant, ard makes valuable food
for stock. Its cultivation could be prof.
itably made.

The practice Of bOys-large and
small-frequenting the stock yards, and
endangering their lives by going near
moving railway trains, is habit that
has been INDUCED in since railroads were
first made. Since an accident occurred
at Leavenworth, the Times gives the fol-
lowing timely warning: "Boys who IN
dulge in the practice of jumping on
freight trains are taking many risks in
so doing and some of them are liable to
meet with serious mishap, one of these
fine days. Parents should caution their
children about this practice, and thus
aid in avoiding the many bad accidents
which are constantly happening. The
police should visit the railroad yards oc-
casionally and capture q few of these
boys, after which they would not be so
handy at trying to jump on moving
trains.

There was man in our town
and he was wondrous wise fOl
when he marked his prices down,
he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade in,
crease, with all his might and main,
he marked still lower everything,
and advertised again.
And when he advertised again,
his rivals cursed and swore, to see
folks 60 with a mighty r!sh to pa
tronize his store.
And when they sat in solitude
and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and rak-
ed the nickles in.
And when he raked the nickleS
in and saw his fortune rising, he
took a goodly lot Of ink and kept
on advertising.
Each day a generous sum he'd
sink, aud demonstrated plain, the
more one pays for printers ink,
the greateris his gain.--Exchange.
