WHY red clover sowh in the fall would

clover that cane up IL his garden lived

them TO make rapid growth. But thcy
are seldom plenty enough TO produce
what we would call fair crop OF
clover. SCmc Of the stronger plants
live and others do not, and the clover
that would make an onion bel look
weedy would be scarcely ,utiicielt
to rake clover meadow. All vari-
etics OF clover send down long tap

~ ret,oce his stems he did not know

10 retrace his steps he did not know
where he was. The plain was all
north. south, east and west. He quite
evidently had sat down and tried "a
collect his thoughts, for there were
marks in the waste indicating the va
rious positions he had taken. He had
a small bottle Of water with him, but
no food.
No sound swept the plain. Bowden
may have thought he was entombed
| In some vast charnel-house Of the
| ages 10 which Time has brought Ma
tSe's remains and left them without
! burial He was on the crest OF one
time vast lava beds, spot where the
| fires of hell once ragged beneath his
| feet. Here the last great battle OF the
peaks Of the continent had probably
been fought with thunderbolt and
flame hurled from the bowels OF the
earth. And he was alone. Not even
the wretched lizards Of the lava re-
gion were moving. Perhaps Watts
was In stones throw Of him; he
could not tell. He called. No voice
answered. He walked, but 1t was in
a circle, and he came back time and
time again to his starting point.
He waited for the dawn-one hope
that the suns light might give him a
trace Of Watts. He saw the shade
Of the night growing deeper and
deeper, and then the driving Of the
blackness back from the east and the
coming there Of cold line Of gray
and then an lnsolent one OF red, and
then a savage yellow with that and
then. with one leap, the sun. He
must have scanned the plain, but
there was no sign OF Watts. He called
he laughed, ne cried. He drank his
water 10 the last drop in the bottle.
He walked and ran. He returned TO
the spot where he had first become be-
wildercd. He was hot and then cold,
and the sun rose higher and higher;
grew more pitiless with every ad-
vance. The white heat beat down oil
him. IL rose I'm sheets before him and
placed awful cOlors before him. Now
the lizards and mean creeping things
came out. but they passed him by
They could wait. Others had preceded
him.

sTis easy TO smile when the sun smiles, too
And the sky is field OF blue;
But give me your smile when the sun II
gone
And the sky is of leaden hue
IT'S easy to smile when the Aow'rs smile
too,
And you walk in their odors sweet;
But give me your smile when the flowers
lie dead
And the thorns prick your weary feet.
IT'S easy TO smile when the birds sing
cheer
And you bark 10 the ripping rill;
But give me your smile when the waters
sigh
And the songs of the birds are still.
IT'S easy 10 smile when the world smiles
too,
And YOU walk with a joyous heart;
But give me your smile when the whole
world frowns;
Can you smile when the teardrops

RACER IMP RETIRED.

Chillicothe, o., Jan. 1T will no
doubt be source of great disappoint-
ment to many admirers of the famous
little racing mare Imp to learn that the
black whirlwind will not be seen on the
turf next season. Uncle" Dan Harness
only came to THIS decision after a long

Imp will not be retired because she
is slower than in former seasons, but
because she has already gained such
a worldwide reputation through her
many victories that 1t is impossible ia
get her a place in races without han
dicapping her with heavy riders to
such an extent that 1t renders her sue
cess difficult IL not impossible.

friends, Uncle" Dan has decided ia
