When the plants in the little gar

takes an old tomato can and q stick
and gathers his first crop, which he

How to Eradicate Dandelions.

Never permit them to 60 to seed. and
cut the crowns out of the grass with
a stiff knife. This sounds very tedious,
but there is really nothing else to be
done. Even If all the tap root is not
removed, the plant is much weakened
by it's decapitation, and If the grass is
kept short the dandelion is much en-
couraged. OF course the lawn will be
constantly reseeded from adjoining
places, so eternal vigilance is required.
A taste for dandelion greens is q val
liable aid in subduing this pest.-Rural

From that safe retreat he poked his

"Bang!"
That one had been set ingeniously

explosion burst it open.
"Crack- OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES crack"
Smith had gotten hold of a bunch of
small ones, 'and the continuous rattle
brought Moore to the door to see what
was happening. He stood watching
the proceedings for little while, and
I could see that he was not SO averse
to 1t all as he would have us believe.
After little while he came out and
took down his diminutive Union Jack.

The box was not very large, and a
portion Of 1t was filed with fireworks
for a night display, so that the supply
of explosives was soon exhausted, and
the crowd sat around the front Of the
cabin wishing for more. Then it was
that Moore's turn came. He had found
an old coffee can with screw top, and
putting in a goodly supply of powder
had packed it tight with paper and ap-
piled fuse. Lighting It he slipped up
close behind Yorker and, before that
individual had discovered the presence
Of the Internal machine, it exploded
with a terrific bang that sent Yorker
into the air with bound.
In his pleasure at the success of his
retaliation Moore forgot all about his
early anger, and entered into the
spirit of the celebration with an en-
thusiasm worthy of a son of the rev.
olution. He. donated hts supply of
loose powder, kept carefully against
the day when his rife ammunition
should run short, and when that was
exhausted, thanks to his assistance, he
got out his rifle and amused himself by
firing into the air until, firing of that.
he set to work to unload shells enough
to secure sufficient powder to fix no
another coffee can.

lay a few miles west of the Muskoka
chain Of lakes. Once the box was
slowed away in the cabin neither my
self or any Of the others of the party
who had joined us at Toronto, coming
from the east and south, thought more
about 1t.
We had left Chicago that year the
last Of June for our annual pilgrimage
to the fishing waters of Canada, and
had planted our feet on the shores Of
Kahpeekog on the evening of July L.
Personally had been rather pleased
Ut the idea Of escaping to the king;
dominions for the Fourth of July, so
that might escape the noise of the
city usual on that day, and I think the
others of the party were somewhat of
the same mind. But by the evening Of
the third we were all ready to admit
that we might have missed something
by not having taken our vacation
few days later and remaining in the
States to hear the eagle scream.

sitting in front of the cabin after day

Smith. But 1 would like to be in

beginning to appreciate the Fourth of
July, now that I am away from it"
That is one Of the luxuri9s of the
States that can get along very well
without" said Moore, the guide.
Shouldn't wonder bit at that" re-
turned Smith. "The screeching of the
eagle isn't conducive to pleasant men,

fellows that this land is good enough
for me any day, and I'm not signing

Smith, who is the most aggressively
patriotic of the crowd, started in to
read Moore lecture for having de-
serted his country, and things might
have gotten warm enough to explode
had the others not have made an eff
fort to put stop to it, and hustle
everybody off to bed.

TWO STEPS.
The Last One Helps the First.

A sick coffee drinker must take two
steps to be rid Of his troubles and got
strong and we'll again.
The first is to cut of coffee abso-
