hadn't, she said. he probably wouldn
have done what he did.

GROWING THINGS.
10 Pleasure Is Greater for a Large Class
of People.

There is no pleasure more pure and
exquisite than watching the growth
OF a tree or plant in which one is in
terested. If you haveplanted ityour-
self so much the better. You then
have a feeling of proprietorship in
each opening bud or leaf which can
be gained in no other way. But, at
ny rate, cultivate the friendship of
.he plants and trees, not simply for
the flowers and fruit which they fur
nish, but for the pleasure of seeing
them grow. 1t has been said that any
square foot of sod, if intelligently
studied, will give occupation for
many hours. The growth of the
simplest plant is a wonderful process.
Perhaps you cannot go to Europe or
the mountains or the sea, but you
have an opportunity for unlimited
recreation and diversion if you have
a small plot of grass and plants with
which you have not become acquaint.

windows are flaring with placardsthat
tell of goods that have been cut down

property for % cents, indlcatinganet
profit OF two cents. While. on the
other side of the counter, if she had
