We have all read the enticing head
lines OF the insidious little notices
which pose as disinterested items Of
news. advising the public to escape
the rigors of winter and the extortion
Of coal barons by boarding q train
and flying south. We have nil envied
the lucky people. free from the de-
mands OF business or the grip OF pow
erty. who are able to act on the ad-
vice. We. too. would like to return TO
the land of flowers. to experience
again the thrill of anticipation that
carries the enthusiastic gardener
through the back-breaking labors OF
seed time. that sustains him under
the prostrating heat OF early summer.
that nerves him to battle with host
OF destroying insects-not to mention
the pestiferous mosquito which blights
his Joy In the mornings when he es-
says to weed his promising crops. and
that pursues him with equal malignity
at the twilight hour when heavenly
peace should be his portion. But
there is a cheaper way to win II all
back. sans train. sans heat. sans mos
quitoes. Send for the seed catalogues.
/ defy any one to study those fascln-
ating descriptions or to gaze on the
Illuminating Illustrations without for
getting the present lmperious as
that present may be. 1t will melt into
nothingness and before you will
stretch the fair, unblcmished garden
OF your desire. more beautiful than the
new Jerusalem with Its hard gold
pavements and its ready-made look.
A garden to be beloved, to be satisfy

uct OF our fancy. our aspiration. not

ures will be dearer to us than the sue
cesses OF anybody's else garden possi-
bly, could be. And so l say, wherever
you may be whether In the sordid
dust and smoke of northern city or
snowbound In a lonely farm house. II
you would enjoy your own Hesperides

The Tale Of = Cat.

A woman who has true sympathy
with the feline race. contributed TIM
following story to Our Dumb AMI
mails:
A cat that had several times been
deprived OF her kittens hid litter of
them in my aunt's barn. Cries could
be heard from some quarter. but the
kittens could not be found.
Between their mother and the fam.
ily cat was = feud OF long standing;
and for this reason my uncle and
the maid used to drive the mother
away. My aunt never did so.
Pussy learned, at length, to make
for the door when she heard foot
steps. and also to look behind her.
II she saw my aunt's face she turnes
back.
One day auntie said to her, ''Old
cat. where do you keep your kittens? :?
haven't seen them yet" Inmedi-
ately she went to the woodpile and
called. and out came all the babies for
inspection.

why a Blue Rose /. Impossible.

A florist makes the assertion that q
blue rose is among the impossible
ties; but. while an explanation OF this
curious fact may be equally impossi-
bic. he fails to mention 4 very inter-
esting law which governs the color
ings of all flowers. A knowledge Of
this law would save many flower grow
ers Of unavai!ing and foolish hope.
The law is simply this: The three col
ors-red. blue and yenow-never al
appear in the same species of flowers;
any two may exist. but never the third.
Thus we have the red and yellow
roses. but no blue; red and blue ver-
benas, but no yellow; yellow and blue
In the various members of the viola
family (as pansies, for instance). but
no red; red and yellow gladiol. but 70

Boyaood Of d Railroad
President.

Edward T. Jeffery, president Of the
Denver & Rio Grande. has given the
following account of his boyhood in
Success;
When I was thirteen years old.
my mother decided to move to Chi
cago. and Immediately, on our arrival
in that city. began to look for work.
l entered an application with the ILL.,
nois Central Railroad Company for
position. told that company that
was willing to do anything. My ex-
pectations were very modest Per-
sonally, would have preferred re-
naming in school u few years longer,
but my mother needed money and I
had to earn it I thought that, II
l could take home a dollar or two
every week. II would be a great
achievement. My ambition at, that
early day did not extend beyond reap
ing the reward of faithfm and honest
work in the humber duties of my
calling. 1t never occurred to me that
might one day be the general super
intendent and manager of the great
corporation into whose employ l was
Just entering.
My first position was in the ofiice
Of Samuel J. Hayes. superintendent
OF machinery, where was employed
for about two months as a general er.
rand boy. This work was little more
arduous than was used to doing at
home. but l was delighted with the
Idea that was actually engaged in
business. My wages at the start were
forty-nve cents n day. Several men
told me that was q fool to work for
such wages, and thought 30. too,
several times. but decided to make
~ much Of my chance as possible.
'At the end Of two months. I was
put to work In the tin and copper
shop. where did all sorts Of work.
assisting the regular employees by
cleaning up. and by making myself
generally useful. It was while sery.
Ing IN this shop that l made mp my
mind to become . machinist en.
tered IN application with the railroad
company for . place in the machine
shops % that could lsarn the trade,
La Junta tribune., 1903-02-28

This ! was .fven In q few months. ana
the practical training that I received
in the shops has been OF the greatest
value TO me ever since I acquired
some knowledge OF carpentry and the
designing of locomotives. and kept my
eyes and ears open TO learn all
could in every department of the
work.
-on July 5. is5s. Mr. Hayes gave
me position In the department OF
mechanical drawing. and from that
time I made rapid progress Mr..
Hayes had a warm heart and Was most
friendly toward any boy starting in
the world for himself. and. under his
good counsel. l developed an ambition
TO IT myself for the complete mastery
Of both the science and art Of me-
ehanIcal drawing and engineering !
began q course OF systematic study.
which / continued for ten years Mr..
Hayes soon saw that was in earnest.
and he accorded me the privilege of
studying during ONCE hours whenever
my duties permitted. I also studied
at home In the evenings. and vas able
to make short work OF some books
had. Being regularly employed in
the drawing department. was able
to demonstrate the principles o( my
calling in a practical way. per
ceived that Il Is useless to acquire
book-knowledge without knowing how
20 put It into operation. and ! applied
in my own selfraining the principle
now advocated by the most advanced
educators.-thAt OF combining the la
Dor OF the hand with that OF the
brain. in order to meet the practical
demands OF an industrial calling.
1T is probable that l may encour-
age many young men to study at
home when | say that. at eighteen
years. | was on the pay roll of the
Illinois Central Railroad Company as
regular mechanical draughtsman.
This position would not have been
possible for me at that age II had
not used every spare moment to i'm
prove my knowledge of my profession.
When | was twenty years old was
placed In full charge OF the depart
ment of mechanical drawing.
THE question Is often asked wheth-
er | consider a college or technical
course essential to success In . me
chanical career. and invariably reply
in the negative. Practical experience
is essential, most OF all. and II
young man can have a college educa-
ton in addition, IT Is very good
thing. but 1t is quite possible for any
boy to advance himself through his
own efforts at self-culture. CON
t!nued my work and studies with
such profit. while l was with the com.
pany. that, at the age Of twenty-five.
found myself In possession of the
entire range OF sciences adapted to
the highest efficiency In my occupa-
ton, and by general reading had
also gained some breadth Of general
culture.
When was placed over the de-
partment OF mechanical drawing.
was also made private secretary to
the superintendent OF machinery. At
the age OF twenty-eIght. | was ap-
pointed assistant superintendent of
machinery by John Newell. then pres.
ident Of the company. Mr.. Newell
was a typical example Of a self-made
railroad man. and was never slow
In opening the way for promotion to
deserving and energetic employees. II

railroad officials are willing to ad-
vance their men Just rs soon rs they
