ard there were no roads to be seen,
nothing but white fields broken here

Dick Harwood bent his head to the
wind and spoke softly to his horses.
They were foundcring sturdily through
the snow, eager for the end Of the
Journey and for the comfort of the
warm barn and well filled managers.
"Who-oo-oo-oo-pee"
Dick lifted his head and looked out
over the storm swept night. That was
Myra's cry, the one he had taught her

into the scheolroom. The rows of bat

Popularity Of Easter Lille,

The rise of tie Easter lily is one OF
the most sensational features of green
house Horticulture in America during
the last quarter Of century. Our
florists raise about 100000 Easter
lilies year. Assuming that only half
of these plants are sold, that each one
bears only two flowers "a good plant
should have six to eight and that the
public pays 30 cents a bud, it would
seem that the American people spend
at least $2,5OOOOO for Easter lilies
every year.-Country Life In America.

Tying "a Horse to IA Hole.

1t has been discovered that the des.
ert Indians, who have never been ac-
credited with superabundant wits, have
for many years employed a method OF
tying their horses TO holes in the
ground that is clever, unique and ef-
feCtive The operation Of tying horse
TO n hole seems an impractlcable and
impossible one, for there IS something
decidedly intangible and unsubstantial
about the hole. The operation Is per
formed In this way: Kneeling on til
hot sands, the Indians dig with their
hands until they have made a hole
about two feet deep. They then tie an
immense knot in the end Of the halter
rope, lower 1t into the bottom Of the
hole, fill the hole with sand and then
jump and stamp upon it until the earth
over the knot is about as hard as sand
stone.-LOndOn Magazine.
