Joshua Willet was the best gardener
in Bushby and therefore, in a place
where good gardeners were few, he
was in great demand among the sum
mer people.
Josh, he lays claim to be a reg'lar
landscaper and l don't know but he
has right to" said one of the natives.
"He seems to have knowledge of set
tin a bush here and cuttin away a
limb there that isn't given to all; but
the summer folks'n find they've got a
job on hand if they expect to tie him
down to set times for workin'."
1t turned out that this was the case,
and one day an exasperated summer
resident opened the walls of her wrath
and poured themon Mr.. Willet's head.

the eastern shore of the Lake of Sauna,
and in view of its little archipelago of
granite islcs-a lonely little faue, buried
amid groves of plum and cherry trees,
built of wood and painted red. with a
little bell jangiing in it's humble belfry
Charlie Balgonie and his future bride
were united by the old curate; and there
thousand roubles spent among the poor
spread in the primitive district a happi-
ness the tradition of which is still re-
membered with many grateful exag-
geration.
After this, poor Usakoff, finding him
self perhaps. as a third person, rather in
the way, left them to become a soldier
Of fortune; and he is supposed to have
persisted in one of the Polish struggles
for freedom: at least they heard of him
no more after their final journey to Scot
land
Two years before these events Char
lies uncle. Gamaliel Balgonie, merchant,
magistrate and elder. had departed in
peace to sin no more. leaving the lands
and possessions of Balgonie unimpaired;
and a long tombstone records at length
all the virtues which has contemporaries
believed him to possess.
So Carl Ivanovitch became once more
Baigonie of that ilk; and the roubles of
Natalie added many a turret and many
an acre to his patrilnonial dwelling in
beautiful Strathearn.

THE FARMERS TELEPHONE.
What 1t Has Accomplished in Parts
of the West,

1t is estimated that nearly 4 million
farms have telephone service supplied to
them, either by companies or private
wires. In parts of the West, where the
telephone systems were first installed by
the farmers, it is not unusual to have a
complete service supplied for SO, 81 or

systems operated by the mutual process
range in different parts of the country
from So to SIS month, and much more
The farmers telephone makes him
independent of the rural free mail de-
livery and the railroad and telegraph
companies. Market quotations are re-
ceiyed in tens Of thousands of country
homes only few minutes after they are
sent over the ticker to the offices of
commission men. No bull or bear move
on the market can be made by operators
in grain. provisions or dairy products
without instantly being communicated to
the producers. The farm service at
tempts to spread the news of the market
each day. so that the farmers can draw
their own conclusions respecting any vio-
lent break or advance in prices.
To make the service more complete
the rural companies have arranged for
sending complete gist of the days news
happenings to their customers. Thus a
farmer after the days work can sit in
his own home and listen to ap intelligent
description of the chief events that have
happened in the world.
A further step in bringing the farms
into closer communication with the town
has been agitated by Congress. This is
