To one who can truly appreciate the
beauties ofthe spontaneous growth ofwild
| flowers, it is source of exquisite pleas
ure to stroll through the woods on nice

rieties of beautiful. fragrant flowers and
blossoms are now in full bloom, and may
be found almost anywhere in the woods
aud to behold them is not only pleasing
to the eyes, but refreshing to the mind as
well, and should impell one to admire
and worship the God of nature.
"A clever swindling scheme is being
worked by pair of smart fellows in var
ious parts of the State. One goes through
the country on a bicycle. When he
strikes town he claims to be hard up
| and offers to sell the wheel cheap to get
some money. The boys admire bicycles
and bite readily, paying a small price for
a first-class wheel. After a few days the
other sharper turns up and GLAZING to be
looking for man who stole his wheel
He describes il well, giving the number,
and the owner has to part with it. The
sharpers raise from twenty TO forty dol
lars trip and start for greener fields.
