I've sung of the girls Who play at golf,
OF the girls who fish and shoot
I've sung of the maid who's not afraid
TO pose in her bathing suit
I've sung of the girl wko weds Il duke,
And lives in a palace hail;
And the foOtlight maids, with their lights
and shades,
I've sung of them one and ali.
But now 7 will sing in a soft refrain
OF the girl you would like 10 know
The girl who can cook without paper or
book,
The girl who can darn and sew.
Of the girl who never went far from
home,
Who is void of all social schemes;
Who IS homely and neat, old-fashioned
The girl whom you see in your dreams

Gardening is becoming quite a fad
among the society women of St Faul the
extent of it being in proportion to the
sizes Of the yards Of the women who
are taking, up the fad. There is scarce
ly a woman in the city who has not al
ready planted her naSturtium and sweet
pea seeds in a corner of her back yard,
and is faithfully watering and scratching
day by day to discover a tiny sprout She
dCes not wonder at the little ones who
dig up the seed daily to note it's progress,

den. Then, too, the woman who is at
all vain (and who is not is tempted to
have her garden, for what woman appears
mere charming than one in her broad sun
hat watering her flowers with a little
green sprinkling can early on a summers
morning?
Aside from all this there is the ever
available bowl of flowers for the table
which is often a great convenience. For,

LoBsTERs GROWING scARcER.
Efforts Of the United States Fish Com
mission to Supply the Deficiency.
(Naw York SIM \

The last report of the United States
Fish Commission is discouraging one
for the lobster eaters. 1t shows so rapid
a decline in the annual yield OF Holsters
that the day seems not very far distant
when Holsters will be so scarce that their
price will put them almost within the
terrapin class.
The lobster fields extend all along the
coast from Maine to Delaware and over
this entire area there was a decrease In
the annual take of from 80 to GO per cent.
and an increase of the market price OF
the fish of from 50 to 20 per cent.
In the urgent deficiency bill passed by
Congress a year ago last February, pro-
vision was made for special invest1ga-
ton of the decline in the lobster hsher1es
and the fish experts have been studying
the problem ever since, bat with no very
striking results. The catching of Holsters
on large scale is comparatively sim
pie matter but the rearing of the young
to the point where they can take care OF
yolving questions which have not yet been
solved The report of the fish commits
sion says:
lowing to the continued decrease OF
the lobster fishery strenuous efforts have
been made during the past two years tc
increase the output of lobster fry, bu'
the scarcity of Holsters and the Difficult
ties encountered in getting the egg lob
sters from the fishermen, Notwithstanding
the cordial cooperation or the state com
missioners throughout New England, has
made this impossible.
arrangements were made during the
winter months to collect all the egg
bearing Holsters captured from Eastpor'
to New York. The Grampus. assisted by
a steam smack, piled along the coast oi
Maine and visited all the important fish
ing centers from early in April to July
Besides this local agents were stationed
from Kfttery to New London. Ct, wins
purchased egg Holsters, not only from tht
! fishermen but also from the dealers II
the large towns. These were then trans
| ferred to Woods Hole and Gloucester bS
| sail and steamboats, provided for this
| purpose.
Notwithstanding the efforts made. onl,
| 644S egg Holsters were secured north o.
| Cape Cod. These yielded %. 635, 00y eggs

which were deposited on suitable ground.

1t was only a short time later that a

while all records in this respect have
probably been surpa used by William {.
Whitney, whose national reputation Is
now overshadowed by his stables sue
cesSeS, owning, at phenomenal cost, al
the best horses of 1901 which he could
purchase outright or by shares.
These men are specimens of prominent
Americans who like the English horse
lover of high standing, are not handling
thoroughbreds with any idea of profit or
personal emolument. All have their great
national private enterprises to which
they give the bulk of their attention,
bankers, Stock Exchange members, office
holders, statesmen, all pouring their
wealth into the lap of the American
thoroughbred. content to make it the fin
est horse under the canopy of its partic-
ular class, disinterested to the very core,
except so far as the very natural pleas
ure of owning and breeding a good horse
and seeing it fulfill expectations by pass
ing the judges first at the finish of some
mighty struggle for a great stake.
What the troteers have done for the
world is well known. The American type
is unapproachable; it has set records
which no other country can possibly APP
proach except through purchase. possibly,
of American stock, handled under Amer
lean methods. while as to the thorough
bred the American type has also set re-
cords which have yet to be equalled
abroad. Thus has been brought true the
prophecy of Mr. Weatherby, editor of
the English Stud Book who, in 1879. wrote
to Col. Tayloe, You have now horses
equal to most of ours giving details OF
the shipping of The peerless Stirling and
