Flower Gardens in the SKY.

On the snow-capped peaks of the
Rockies, miles above the sea level and
nits are gay from spring to autumn
with the cOlors of the wild flowers that
bloom in that dizzy world. Clinging to
granite lodges, peeping from dark
crevices and hiding in the spruce
woods are found some of the most del
icately beautiful of natures petaled
children. They are not often seen, be-
cause comparatively few persons have
visited their haunts, so the sixteen
exquisite photographs of them shown
in the Ladies Home Journal for De-
tober are as interesting as they are
picturesque.

A FARMER MOVETh TO TOWN
And Some Things He Learned
After Moving.

He move.h to town and leaveth the
old farm. "There amt no money in
farmino-too much hard work and no
cash
He seeth the merchant handling sill
yer dollars, and forthwith concludes
that the merchant hath good time,
an easy, soft snap, staying in his store
all the day long out of the sunshine,
and forthwith concludes to put him up
a store and live easy and grow rich up
on ease and soft snaps.
And he doth put him up store. and
sure enough he doth handle a little
more silver; but woe is him, for the
rents must be paid, and he doth also
have too little, and his sons and daugh-
ters needs must be ''swell" TO be IN
the swim" like the bankers daughter
and Miss Primm. And also he doth
find that the goods have to be paid for
and the margin of profit doth prove a
small thing. And the things he used
to have to eat, such as sweet potatoes
and the many other things that he
took from mother earth, all have to be
paid for in hard cash.
And so it doth soon appear to him
that the mere handling Of cash hath
no lasting pleasure IN it, and he doth
find that his yeXatiOnS and expense
doth multiply at a great rate. And he
mOurns in spirit and is full of trouble,
for his cash capital is slipping away
from him, and he wishes he was back
on the dear old farm once more. But
alas he hath not the money to buy 1t
back again, and he soon realizes that
because of his folly he will soon have
to begin all over again, but this time
as enter.
And so we have spoken a proverb.
Be We not deceived by the glimmer of
silver dollars in the drawer of the mer-
chant man, for verify, the merchant
doth also have his troubles. and oft he
doth not know how he will pay his
bills. And | say unto you that after
all, man doth mainly put fourth his
energies that he may have food to eat,
and when thou hast solved the food
problem on the farm then thou art
wise. and soon the dollars that thou
gainest from the products of the farm
will cling TO thee and bide with thee:
for verify say unto you that the mer-
chant, toe clerk and all the rest of
those who produce nothing have to
spend the bulk of their earnings for
the very article of food which thou
canst produce on the farm if thou hast
the brains and tie will to do it The
Tennessee Farmer.
