"Red Blood and Blue" by Harrison
Robertson, is story of the South, deal
ing with love and rivalry.
"a Soul in Bronze" by Miss Goddard
Du Bois, has for its keynote the nobil-
ity Of the North American Indian.
An illustrated story Of the time Of
Maimonides is called "Under the
Eagles Wing" and is by Sara Miller.
1.-THE Princess Sophia" is new novel
by e. F. Benson, Of '.Dodo" fame. Har-
per & Brothers will be the publishers.
''The Enchanter," a first book by
Miss Una L. Silberrad, is said to be "a
remarkable book by remarkable
woman"
Henry w. Stratton, author of a little
book of verses called Sparks and
Flames," is also an inventor of much
ability. Although blind, he manufac-
tured and put on the market the build
ing blocks constructed on the tongue
and groove principle, and which bear
unique toys; but there are probably
more sets of his building blocks sold at
holiday times than Of any other make.

lowship with Robert Barr at one time,
1. e., he was the stately edior and was
the meek and lowly sub. When he was
feeling just right he would tell me
dozens Of plots for stories and prompt
ly forget all about them. always jot-
ted them down and in few days told
them to him as original. If you don't
mind l think l could make something
out of that he would say. You're a
wonderful chap for plots Then, Of
course, l owned up and gave him his
property. There was one story about
a man who personated an African ex-
met the real Simon Pure's sweetheart.
That seemed to us both full of dra-
matte possibilities, but fancy that it
is still unwritten. Andrew Lang is just
as fertile in the subject of plots as
Robert Barr. He once wrote a paper
for the Idler, presenting young authors
with at least dozen plots for stories.
There is nothing SO delightful as the
idea for a new story. Where the
drudgery comes in is the elaboration Of
detail and careful balancing of SEN
tences, the knowing what to insert and
what to leave out-the cabinet-making
and joinery, in short. Inspiration is all
very well, but sometimes it isn't strict
ly grammatical.

The planting Of waste land to trees
for timber is receiving more attention
than formerly. Farmers who planted
trees 20 years ago now find that they
then made good investments. 1t is
claimed that cherry and hickory trees
require bout 80 years before they are
valuable for tim Der; maple trees 20
years and black walnut l5 years. A
black walnut tree is said to attain from
IL to l5 inches in diameter in 15 years
from the seed. Nuts are also a source
of profit with some growers of timber.

The land for late potatoes should be
plowed deep and narrowed fine. The
land should never be allowed to form
a crust before the plants are up. Run
a harrow over the field. both before
and after the potatoes are up. The
seed may be planted about five inches
deep and given level culture instead of
hilling. Glover sod land is excellent
for potatoes, and to avoid disease it is
best not to plant potatoes OH tho same
land twice in succession. Frequent
and shallow cultivation rather than
deep should be given.

Any article that is grown, whether OF
the best or not, costs something. and
the grower must receive at least the
cost or he will suffer loss. The larger
the difference between the cost and the
price received the greater the profit. 1t
should be the object, therefore, to grow
the best, rather than the aim for large
yields, as the market may be over
stocked with inferior goods, while
demand may exist for the best.

An excellent plan to get two crops
on the same land and at the same time,
is to drop seeds OF sweet corn in the
same rows with the peas, placing the
seeds of corn several inches apart,
thinning to foot apart after the plants
are up. The corn will finish its main
growth after the peas have ceased
growing, though for taller kinds the
corn serves as supports.

A Tale Of Rabbit and Cats.

According to H. Z. Bowditch, who
tells lots of good stories, some of them
true, there was an initiation into the

night. Although the society has not
gained a place in the directory it has
been running for some time and the
meetings are held daily. The cats
from all over the neighborhood congre-
gate at Mr.. Bowditch's lawn and until
lately the meetings have been rather
uninteresting. All the blue-blooded
cats in the neighborhood have been
given the third, Dewey's candidacy
has been settled and all other subjects
talked over until they are threadbare
Open air concerts were brought up but
Mr.. Bowditch as Highlordoverall
stopped the discussion Of that ques-
ton.
When it seemed as though the meet
ings must adjourn rabbit hoped out
into the circle one day recently. Three
hops and a stop to take a mouthful OF
grass was not the password of that
order and when the rabbit turned his
back the astonished cats started to in
Vestigate. The rabbit had ridden the
goat more than once and was not to be
caught that way. He sat up on his
launches and the cats stopped. \
forward and backward movement OF
the long ears settled it. An animal
that knew so many signs of secret
orders was not to be blackballed ana
the initiation commenced. When the
third was in order the cats started In
to make an unhappy hour for the
rabbit, but the bObtailed fellow was
not thing 30 be trifled with. and the
cats withdrew in confusion. The Ordi
nary bobtailed' cat would not be mo-
Tested but when one had a habit of
sitting up on its hind legs like dime
museum freak and had ears bought by
the yard, no office was too good for
him and the cats in the neiShborhood
are practicing walking on their hind
legs and Hopping their ears While a
few are trying to screw up cour-
age to have their tails cut off But
until that is done the rabbit holds the
chair of master chancellor grand. in
the cats daily assemblage. And this
