Looked Easy"

Sergeant Bray on the charge of lettering
The charge of obtaining money under false

Washington street. for luncheon. While he
sat at the counter Watts approached and
took a seat beside him.
Much work hereabouts?" asked Watts
of the sergeant
"Oh, yes. 1 suppose there is" replied
Bray. Then Watts proceeded to invite the
confidence of his fellow-diner.
I'm refrigerator maker myself" Watts
said. I'm not working now but will go
TO work at my trade next Tuesday. A little
short of money right now, too"
THAT SOL said the sergeant.
yep" continued Watts. "Tve been up
against it," And then Watts drew a ring
from his finger and played with it in view
of Bray. He gave it several spins on the
counter and said, i've got a solid gold ring
here that 1 paid good money for 1 need
some money to tide me over until I get to
work and I'd like, TO sell IL for a couple
of dollars. | could pawn 1t but don't like
TO. Want to buy IL. friend?"
Bray examined the ring carefully and
saw that ii was one of the ten-cent store
class.
Yes. III take it il you'll come over to
my place of business" Bray replied.
Bray looked like "easy picking" to Watts
and ne left the restaurant to go to Bray s
pace of business" When Bray and Watts
reached the alley leading TO the rear of the
police station Watts attempted to turn
back. but the sergeant caught his arm
Watts then attempted 10 throw the ring
away. but Bray stopped this move too. The
sergeant turned Watts over TO Detectives

obtained After the sweat the refriger-

Silks that spring up perennially and
seem never to lose favor are the small
black and white checks in taffeta Of

A delicate and pretty hair ornament
is in the shape of gauze wing butter

Then in the, centre of each wing is
mother of pearl ornament in shape fol-
lowing the outline of the wings.
Among the most attractive pongee
silks are those embroidered with polka
dots or small geometrical figures in
bright colors, red, lavender, or a pale
sea green, which show effectively
against the neutral tone Of this soft
silk.
"Shirt waist hats are as attractive
as ever this season. Most of them are

trimmed with a single band of velvet
ribbon, and under the brim is a drap-
ing Of silk in soft folds, going entirely
around, with a short end just to one
side falling on the hair.
Many of the natty pedestrian skirts
are of hair line cheviot, that is, the
skirts for spring and summer wear.
The material is net too heavy for COM
fort, and yet is of sufficiently firm tex
ture to stitch effectively, rows of ma
chine stitching being still the most APP
proved mode of finish around the bot
tom of the skirt. For these skirts navy
blue cheyiot is extremely popular
A novel touch of trimming is seen
on the bodice of one of the new spring
gowns. The material is cream colored

materials. The bodice is made with q
deep yoke of lace, which is edged with
a curved and stitched band Of canvas

Queen Helena of Italy, the most
beautiful Queen in Europe, was born
in the Black Mountains, where her
father, Nikita, Prince Of Montenegro,

1t was thought that she would become

in view she was sent to the Smalna
Convent at st. Petersburg.
In the uniform of the convent, I'M

she made heroic efforts to master the
Russian grammar, but her love was
for painting, for the violin and for
cooking, which she learned at the COM
mand of her father, who believed that
every woman should have trade or
profession.
The glimpses Of Russian court life
which she had in her regular Sunday
visits to Princess Xenia, did not i'm

Emmanuel Ill, then Prince of Naples,

Red is n fayorite color, and has been
so al winter, for street gowns, and
for the spring light gray and all the
different shades Of blue are to be worn
in covert cloth. Green also is on the
list. The light gray cheviot gowns
made with faring but plain skirts, the
medium length REFER coat, double
breasted and fastened with fancy but
tons, are an exceedingly plain style Of
street gown, but very smart one, and
when the coat is lined with white
satin and the revers are faced with
white or pale blue or tan, embroid-
cred at the corners with black and
white, it does not look in the least too
plain. The blue that is preferred is a
bright sapphire blue, and again the
trimming is put only on the revers, col
lar and cuffs, the only kind allowed on
the skirt being bias folds of the same
cloth. The close-ftting military jack

Early Potatoes and Groen Peas.

Among the early crops that should
go In as soon as the season permits is
early potatoes, Green peas should
also be planted as soon as the ground Is
favorable. The difference Of a few
weeks In reaching the market with
these crops is the difference between
profit and loss, as prices drop rapidly
after the later supply comes. Onions
should also be planted early, and con-
siderable time may be saved by grow
ing early cabbage and lettuce In cold
frames. A small plot may be made to
pay better than a large field by care
full selection Of early crops and the use
of hot beds and cold frames. Such
crops require careful supervision and
demand extra labor but they pay ac-
c0rdingly. 1t is not too early to make
hotbeds for the crops that are to be
grown in cold frames, nor win cold
frames entail much expense In pro-
portion to their value and use.

SOIL 1t will also be noted that the
spread of the tree in nowise cores
ponds to the spread Of the roots in the
soil. 1t has been a popular fancy that
the spread of the branches of tree
represents the spread of its roots.
This fallacy should have been exploded
without the use of diagrams, but it
has not been. We all know that when
trees are grown in tubs the branches
cover square area very much greater
than the surface Of the tub. The most
important lesson TO be learned from
this illustration is that soil Of proper
texture is able 20 support trees with
very little surface moisture. This ex-
plains why some of our apple and
peach orchards have been little affected

as not sufficient data has been collected
to give the information desired even
for a single variety. But the depth Of

point the soil water or water table is
