Sweet Cider.

The dapper waiter fingers
What shall 1 drink tonight?
turn, with listless fingers,
The wlne-list to the light;
And while scan it, thinking
mat wine has lost its charm,
dream once more of drinking
Sweet cider at the farm.
From Grandad's ancient settle.
Before the cracking blaze,
watch the singing kettle
A merry tune it plays.
There, when the corn was swapping,
And apples sized and steamed,
With Grandad slyly mapping,
My sweetest dreams were dreamed
The winter wind, snow-laden,
Coaxed up the roaring flames,
And there rosy maiden
Sat by and played me games;
There Love, who heard the clinking
OF glasses, came and saw
Two happy lovers drinking
Sweet cider through a straw.
Snug-sheltered from the weather,
At Boreas We laughed,
And quenched our thirst together
In that cool amber draught.
That drink of Grandads making,
Pressed in the mill hard by,
Set no light head to aching,
Turned no bright speech awry.,
Stilled are the blinking glasses,
Long vanished is your smile,
Oh rosiest of lassies;
But still | dream, and while
My gray mustache I'm dipping
In wine without flaw,
see your red lips slipping
Sweet cider through straw.

THE GARDEN SHRUBS.

No garden can be considered at all
complete without good collection Of
Towering shrubs, and plans should be
made to introduce few even in the
smallest garden. The carriage drive
may be bOrdered with dwarf growing
sorts, but they should never be planted
50 closely as to give brushy, neglect
ed air to the lawn. In order to en-
phasize the green Of the turf flower
bed of set design may be introduced
IN the turf at one side. Its position
here must be calculated with mathe-
rlatical precision. Scarlet should be
the predominating color. A fine effect
may be produced by using cannas for
the centre of the bed. Italia Is fine
sort for this purpose. having scarlet
and yellow flowers. Next the broad
band Of scarlet may be produced by
salvias, which may be purchased or
grown from seeds started in March.
Scarlet geraniums also give fine glow
CT color. For the border sow seeds
of dwarf sweet alyssum. which will
give broad ribbon-like border of
foamy white and cause even faded
turf to look normal by contrast. A
carpet-like bed Of red may be obtained
by the use of coleus, but will lack the
air of tropical luxuriance Of the other.
These set designs may be varied indefi-
nitely, but it Is to be remembered they
ere for effect only, and do not admit
the cutting of any flowers for vases

How Sardines Are Caught.

1T Is at this season." said a fish
dealer that the sardine netting be-
gins. Genuine sardines are the young
Of the pilchard. Their name comes
from the fact that they are most num-
erous of the coast of Sardinia. They
swim in the spring in shoals contain
Ing MISUNDERSTANDING shoals ten
miles long and half mile wide. The
sardines are netted and taken at once
to the shore. There they are washed,
scraped and sprinkled with salt. The
salt is soon removed, the head and
gills cut off and there Is another wash
ing. Then, on beds of green brushes.
the fish are dried in the sun. Next
they are boiled in olive oil till cooked
thoroughly.
"The packers-women always-take
them now and pack them in the tin
boxes we all know, filling up each box
with boiling oil. fitting on the lid and
making the box air tight by soldering
the Joints together with jet of hot
steam. Sardines are more or less
perfect, according as they are pre-.
pared more or less after their cap
ture. and according as the oil they are
packed in is more or less pure

KINGS ARE CONF MON.
In the Creek County Alone There
Are Twenty-Five.

Kings are very common in the In
dian territory. In fact, they are so
common that no attention Is paid to
them, and their movements excite no
comment whatever. In the Creek
country alone there are % real live
kings. Nero Drew is a fair sample
OF them. Each one has kingdom to
look after and 1t keeps him busy doing

ther to son as 1t does In the effete Eu-
ropean monarchies. The Indians elect
their own kings. The tenure OF office
is two years. However, whenever an
Indian is chosen king and serves his
people well he is usually reelected
without opposition. Some Of the old
kings in the Creek nation have been
at the head of their kingdoms for 40
years or more. Nero Drew has been
a king for SO years.
The Creek nation is divided into rs
township in the states. Each town
has a king. whose duty 1t Is to look
after the Indians of his town. He has
no power to spend their money or to
command them to do anything. His
powers are somewhat paternal. He
looks after the sick and sees that
they have medical attention. He cares
for the poor and decrepit. When any
Of his subjects get into trouble he gives
them fatherly advice and frequent
ly appeals to the federal authorities
to show them mercy. He advises with
his subjects on all matters pertaining
to their interests. In truth, he is their
worldly adviser. Sometimes he is their
spiritual adviser also, for occasionally
the Indians elect a preacher as king.
Indian kings are not very well
compensated. They get no salary. 1t
is labor Of love with them. The only
possible show they have of getting
any money out of the Office Is through
boodling at elections. In this respect
the Indians are not behind the times.
They Doodle the same as other people.
Elections sometimes come high to the
candidates. Town kings are usually
quite influential among the people of
their kingdom and they command a
fairly good price for their influence at
elections. Most of them are full
blooded Indians. Some, however, are
mixed bloods.-Kansas City Journal.

The True Gentleman,

sidered really gentlemanly conduct,

In regard of whom it is quite impos-
sible for you not to feel. That man is
a gentleman. Let his rank In society
be what it may, let him be ignorant Of
the ordinary conventlonalities Of social
Intercourse. still. If the man be truly
self.sacrificing. II In his ordinary rela-
tions with his fellows there is true and
genuine humility, true and genuine I'M
selfishness. 1t Is impossible for any
man who has much to do with him not
to feel, that man Is a gentleman I
don't care whether he Is learned or
not, whether he Is educated or not;
don't care how ignorant he may be. or
how low he may stand; don't care II
he be ever so poor; the man who con-
stantly shows that he is giving himself
up for the sake Of other people, that
man Is at heart and In reality one Of

in which he shows It"

TWO NEW SPRAYS.

The difficulty of killing plant and
tree lice with the usual spray mixtures
is well known. Good results are re-
ported from the use Of new mixture
containing one pound hard SOAP one
quart castor oil, one-fOurth pound car
Donate of soda. one gallon water. The
soap and acid were boiled in water
and mixed with the castor oil while
heated; the mixture was then diluted
with ten to twenty per cent. Of water
for spraying. In fighting tree lice it is
important to apply the liquid used be-
g. fore the leaves begin to curl and en-
close the insects. For scale insects
mixture reported as satisfactory is pre-
pared as follows: Ten quarts boiling
water. one quart carbolic acid. one
quart soft soap. The mixture is stirred
until an emulsion is formed and is ap.
piled by means of brush.
