The Amateur Gardener.

Doris wants garden, now that spring is
almost here,
And she will doubtless get it-for Doris is
dear
A little bed, six feet by eight, with roses
and sweet-peas,
She says she's sure that can work plot
like that with ease.
And agree, because find
To argue doesn't change her mind.
With pad and pencil she has planned the
little garden out.
Just where the mignOnette will go and
where the panSieS sprOut.
What sort of border We must have, and
that geraniums
Will hold their bloom until it's time to pick
chrysanthemums.
It's fun for Doris :. As for me
I've naught to do but just agree.
Der catalogues we pore each night, select
ing what We feel
Will grow the best-and what the neigh
boris children will not steal
And every morning out we go into the old
back yard
To choose spot where digging soil won't
be so awful hard;
For Doris sayS-bleSS her dear heart!
She knows that l will do my part.
But there's thought that worries me
through all these preparations,
For raising blooms and saving them from
youthful depredatiOns;
not dare
Plant something that is good to eat out in
our garden fair.
Will she permit me one small spot
10 raise onions? l fear not.

LINCOLN REBElLEO.
An Occasion When Stanton Did Not
Get Hts Papers Signed.

An Occasion When Stanton Did Not
Get Hts Papers Signed.
Robert Lincoln when minister to
England told friend an incident OF his
childhood which was deeply impressed
upon his memory. so Illustrative was it
OF his fathers character.
He was with his father in his cabi-
net one morning during the early years
of the war when Secretary Stanton
was announced. Scarcely replying to
the courteous greeting of the president,
Mr.. Stanton walked directly up to the
desk where Mr.. Lincoln was sitting
and said, MIR. President. l have come
for the papers that brought you yes
terday to be signed.
WELL" said the president, with an
expression in his face something like
that of a convicted schoolboy, ''the
truth is. Stanton, they are not ready
well, then. those you had the day
before
''They are not ready either" was the
answer. with somewhat quizzical
look
But you have had some Of them for
a whole week. and all ask you to do
is to put your name to them. Come, do
it now The whole batch will not take
half an hour. | will wait while you
sign. 1t is only a trif1e l am asking.
and it is not like you to hinder our
work in this way"
"a trife." echoed Mr.. Lincoln, with
a deep gravity settling over his care
worn countenance. do you know
What these papers are?'
"Of course do" answered the secre-
tary. "They are death warrants
and you call signing death war
rant a trifie? Look here" And he
drew out from under his desk a basket
overlooking with papers. Here are
the papers you have brought me during
the last week and that you have been
urging me to sign. and every one of
them will condemn a man to death if
l put my name to it. How can l sign
when l know so we'll what will be the
result?'
"You must sign. Mr.. President: you
must sign them. You are clogging the
wheels of government. We have been
at a standstill for week because YOU
have picked ont every death warrant
from the papers 1 have brought you.
No wonder they have accumulated.
But now we cannot wait any longer.
We must have those papers, and you
must sign them.'N And. Selling a pen
from the rack he dipped it in the ink

.led Hair.

Nowadays people with red hair are
somewhat envied. 1t was not always
SO. In Egypt. for instance. the auburn
headed were regarded with aversion.
The ancient Egyptians were so violent
ly opposed to hair of this tone that
once year they burned maiden who
possessed bright locks in the hope of
eXterminating or lessening what they
considered a curse
Sentiment aside, people of the auburn
head type have a vast advantage. They
are less liable to badness than those
who own brown or black hair. The
reason thereof is that one red hair is
as thick as three dark hairs. With
10000 red hairs the scalp is we'll

dark hairs person is almost bald.

Plymouth Rock.

During one of my visits through the

where they were to have flag raising at
the school house. After the banner had
been flung to the breeze there was
an exhibition of drawings which the
pupils had made and of the work they
had done during the year.
''The teacher recited to them The
Landing of the Pilgrims, and after she
had finished she requested each pupil to
try and draw from his or her magma
ton picture of Plymouth Rock"
''Most of them went to work at once,
but one little fellow hesitated and at
length raised his hand.

With the coming of warm weather
there is the opportunity offered for a
life out doors. This is the time when
the heart of the small boy or girl may
be made glad by the picnic or the all
day excursion into the woods or on the
water. Probably the mother may think
it rank extravaganza to give up all or
even part of day to doing nothing but
play. In reality it is wise economy.
This is the way in which she is laying
! up some things more valuable than
money or laboQr. She is gaining health
and colour and improving her CON-
plexion and winning the hearts of her
children.
The woman who wishes to be really
economical would better begin her
summer campaign by piece of appar-
ent extravaganza. Let her buy wheel
and learn to ride it. All nature is then
open to her, and the excursions of
which her children have told her await
her discovery. Very often she may not
think they are all the youngsters have
thought them,-but she won't tell them
that. Even if the day has not been SUI
premely interesting, the woman with a
mania for economy may take comfort
in thinking of the headaches and tired
nerves she has saved herself during
days to come by the oxygen she has III
her muscles.
Putting aside everything else, the
woman who has husband and chill
dren should bestow very serious thought
on what she is to mean to them. We
keep nothing, in this life, without work
ing for it, and the love and confidence
of those about us is no exception to the
rule. The loyalty and understanding
of the husband may hold him to the
wife, even when she becomes a slave to
petty household economies. The chill
dren's devotion will last while they are
children, but as they grow older they
become interested in outside things.
They seek sympathy where they can
find it and the mother who has not won
their friendship sees herself left with
out it,
