THE RESTLESS ONES.

The man who wants to do things,
He's very curious chap;
He's the author of few things
That have changed the nations map.
He has argued and Grated;
He has done his level best;
He Is lampooned or he's feted
And he never gets a rest.
They buffet and abuse him
And he finds when he is through,
They forget him and refuse him
What is honestly his due.
And sometimes his name is banished,
Like a comet strangely bright
That has famed awhile and vanished
Somewhere far into the night.
All serene in his convictions -,
He must face the jeering crowd:
Of his personal Affections
He may never speak aloud.
And that hustling, bustling fellow
Eager to go forth and act
Possibly my hearts too mellow,
But I like him for a fact.
Of the martyrs I've been reading
In that book compiled by Fox,
And reformers I've been needing,
Who have graced the headsman's blocks.
Perhaps I misconstrue things
And should fling him cynic rhymes,
But the man who wants to do things
Well, we need him bad, sometimes.

IDEAL FRUIT GARDEN.
The Farmer Who Does Not Have
One II Missing the Best Part
of Country Life.

One of the greatest Injuries that
may be enjoyed by the farmers, and
thatwith but little expense, is an abun.
dance Of fruit of all kinds, and now
we should plant for next year. It is
taken for granted that there are apple
trees upon every farm if the farm has
been cleared long enough to allow
time necessary for their growth; yet
even in this particular line of fruit
there is not the supply that there
ought to be. This deficiency is not in
quantity but in quality-that is, in va
riety.
The absence of q good supply of this
fruit may be because of lack of fore
sight or thoughtfulness on the part
of the owner of the farm, or it may be
because of a lack of knowledge. Be
this as it may, there certainly ought
to be no shortage in the apple sup
ply. There should be at least two
trees each of early harvest and early
fall apples and two or three late fall
or early winter. Then there should
be a supply of the various sweet ap-
pies. OF course the supply of winter
apples to be grown depends almost
it not entirely upon the extent to
which one is engaged in the growing
of the apple for market. If properly
fertilized and cared for, a very few
will produce all the apples required
for the consumption of a good-sized
family of healthy girls and boys.
OF course there should be a few
cherry trees upon every farm, of both
the red and black varieties. Some
have an abundance of the red but
none of the black. There should also
be good supply of plums, and where
the climate will permit of peaches
also. Now, it is a matter of fact that
the peach will thrive quite well in
many localities where it is not gen.
orally supposed, if only they are in
soil that is properly drained. Oh
course it is not to be supposed that
they will do as well as those upon
soils especially adapted to peach cul.
ture, but enough of the fruit for q
home supply may be easily had.
In the line of small fruits there
should be currants, gooseberries, rasp
berries, both red and black; black
berries and Strawberries, and I should
not forget to include one of the most
delicious of all fruits, the grape. These
would have in as long rows as posi-
BILE to facilitate culture. Much of thu
work of cultivation should be done
with the cultivator, and this cultiva
ton should be thorough, else the fruit
garden will be disappointment, and
so far as the pleasure that may be de
rived, a failure. 49,.
OF. course there are gardens ant

den" that we are writing. The farmer
who does not have an abundance O.

| Mrs. Jobson did not begin, as usual
in April to get her clothes ready for a
summer trip. She was, in fact, rather
glad to be rid of that bother. Nothing
was said about summer plans, and she

Switzerland, ''the playground of Eu-
rope" is visited annually by over
$4,000 American tourists and invalids.
Why?
While the Alps have isolated peaks
such as Mont Blanc (15,7S1 feet), and
the Matterhorn (14,s36 feet), the mean
elevation of the highest Alpine chain
is from only 5000 to 5000 feet. Colo
RADIO possesses more than 100 peaks
over 1880 feet in altitude, of which
no fewer than IS peaks range froq lmpl
$4,000 feet upward. In the whole Of
Europe, there are not over IL mountain
peaks of note.
The highest village in Europe is
Ayers Platz in Switzerland (7,5o0 feet);
the highest inhabited point in Europe
is the Hospice of St. Bernard in
Switzerland (s,2oo feet). In Colorado
the mining town of Leadville, with
$4,000 inhabitants, is 10000 feet above
sea level; other mining camps are
still higher and some gold and silver
mines are worked at an altitude of
over $4,000 feet.
The highest wagon road in Europe
is said to be the Stelvio road in
Switzerland (o,17o feet). In Colorado
the railroads cross the crest of the
continent at Fremont Pass (11,329
feet), Marshall Pass (1o,s52 feet) and
Tennessee Pass (10,433). Switzerland
does not possess, even in the famous
St. Gothard line, any railroad en-
cheering surprising, if equaling,
these. There are wagon roads over
numerous passes in Colorado ranging
from $4,000 feet upwards, the highest
being Mosquito Pass Q3,7oo feet).
In Switzerland the cog-railroad from
Vitznau to the summit of the Rigi
Kuhn $1,000 feet) has length of four
and a half miles. in which the ascent
is 4,O72 feet. In Colorado the cog-rail-
road from Manitou to the summit of
Pixies Peak (14,147 feet) has a length
of eight and three-quarters miles, in
which the ascent is 500 feet, or an
average of s46 feet per mile, the maxi
mum grade being 1890 feet.
One class of Switzerland's finest
scenery is along the Via Mala, the
Schyn Pass and Urnerloch. In Colo
RADIO, the Canon of the Arkansas with
the Royal Gorge, the Black Canon of
the Gunnison, the Canon of the Rio
de las Animas, the Canon of the
Grand river, and others, are all much
longer, quite as grand as and more
varied in chracter than the best
passes in Switzerland. The walls of
the Canons of the Grand river, the
Gunnison and the Arkansas rise to a
sheer height of more than 1000 feet.
AS Colorado can be reached by at
least one railroad--the Burling ton-in

The Father of Printing.

The city Of Mayence, in Ger many. has recently celebrated the five hundredth anniversary of the birth ot Johann Gutenberg, who is commonly believed to have been he first man to make and use movable types Gutenberg was a native of M4yence- It was i'll that pleasant city ly the Rhine that he executed the ''Gutenberg Bible, '" o1e of the rarest gems of the great liDraries. In Mayence he died--in peverty--at about the age of fifty Rhr.
 IA feature of this Gutenberg fes- thal was ala exhibition of the best things the printers art has pro dited duriLst five hundred years. It seemed srAnge to many ot the visitors tbf Ill some directions there has len so little gain.

 By her modesty, brightness and graciousness, all of the many friends of Col. Murphy who met his charming daughter during the race, in the broad sense of the word left her lover. Her part of the work was arduous and unseen by the world, but it was a labor of love and the intensity of her nature was wrapped up in the outcome.
