PoLYANTHUs NARc1ssUs SNOWFLAKE.


narcissus show to perfection Daffodils,
however, when grown in the grass,
should not be set in formal lines or
squares. It is a good plan in planting
to scatter the bulbs with the hand, aft
er which each bulb can be separately
dibbled into the place where it fell.
A lawn is not the best place for daffo-
dis, because the foliage should not be
cut down after the blossoms are past,
but should be allowed to ripen off grad
ually until quite brown. The effect Of
these blossoms on low bank or in an
orchard in spring is very beautiful.
When cultivated in pots or boxes daft
fodils should not be subjected to fire
heat except those already mentioned
(the polyanthus narcissi of the earlier
blooming varieties) as bearing slight
forcing.
For a balcony in spring, where they
can be grouped with pots of hardy
ferns, daffodils are delightful. A glass
porch or cold greenhouse can also be
decorated with the golden blossoms.

THE BORROWING HABIT.
1t Is Very Easy One and a Very
Bad One to Acquire

~ Is very Easy One and a Very
Bad One to Acquire.
An article is written in one of the re-
Gently published magazines explaining
how the editor of that magazine has
been puzzled by a girl who wrote him
a letter asking what to do about debt
that was due her from a friend. The
friend asked the girl to buy her a pair
OF gloves during a visit to a distant
city. The gloves were bought, cost So
and We're sent by an early mail The
friend responded, said the gloves were
received, fitted nicely and then wrote of
other things. When the purchaser re
turned the friend called, again express
ed her approval Of the gloves, but made
no inquiry concerning the price and
never after mentioned the subject. The
girl wished to know whether she ought
to forget that money, which she could
not afford to lose, or speak of the mat
ter to the friend, who was a wealthy
girl, able to pay, but who might cease
considering the girl friend after being
"dunned" for debt The editor gave
the matter up, stating that it rested
wholly on the question Of which it
would be better to lose, the money or
the friend. The girl gave it up and lost
the money, but kept her friend. There
are too many girls and women of this
style who easily forget their debts The
editor heard of girl who had plenty
of money, but who always had habit
of "being short of change" and borrow
ing right and left among her friends.
The debts were never paid and the
bills were never presented, though
the friends said things about her lack
Of honesty when she was not near to
hear. It is very easy matter to bor-
row Of ones friends, but very bad
habit to acquire. Having borrowed,
however, the least one can do is to re-
pay promptly. Brockton Times.

Don't Neglect Your Appearance

OOnt neglect your Appearance.
1t is of the greatest importance that
you should always make the very most
Of your personal appearance. Because
you are pretty or clever or busy do not
think that you can afford to neglect
your appearance. If you are pretty
you can add to your prett1ness by Civ
ing it proper setting; If you are clever
you can make yourself pleasant to look
on as well as to listen to, and if you
are busy it won't take much extra time
to keep yourself looking trim and neat.
The time spent in front Of your looking
glass is not wasted. OF course you are
not advised to stand prinking for hours,
but every woman should spend enough
time to see that her clothes are neatly
put on and her hair properly done

Only Candidate for Rural Carrier.
(From Saturdays Dai1y.)
Oliver c. Mathews, of Silver Lake,
has what might be termed a lead
pipe cinch on the appointment to
the position of rural carrier st Silver
Lake. An examination to secure an
appointee for the position was held at
the city hall this morning and
Mathews was the only one who came
to take the examination. Fred H.
B1ackman, of Kenosha, also took the
examination but he was not candi-
date for the position at Silver Lake
but for an appointment on the Keno
sha force.
The boys in the country villages
seem to be slow to apply for positions
on the rural carrier force as it is
claimed that the work in these dis
tricts is so hard that the positions are
anything but attractive. There is not
a great deal of trouble filling the po-
sitions of routes starting from Keno
sha and there were more than a dozen
applicants for examination when the
examination for these positions was
held week ago.

The Hood Bath Robe.

A valuable garment for the baby is
the hood bath robe. It is made of elder
down, long enough to cover the body
entirely, and it's chief point of exceI-
lence is the hood. This covers and
dries the wet little head as soon as the
baby comes out Of the tub, and no
drafts have chance to give an infant
catarrh by striking its damp hair. The
edges of the robe and hood are bound
with washable ribbon, preferably in
pink and blue. This ribbon can also
fasten at the throat.

Chicago Telephone Co., Will Seek
to Secure Rural Connections
in This County.
PLAN A NET WORK OF LINES
The Chicago Company Will Seek tc
Aid the Bell Interests by In
sta11ing Phones in Many of
the Rural Districts.

1t is evident that the rural telephone
business along the North Shore is a
paying one, as it is now reported that
the Chicago Telephone company is
planning to build rural lines in both
Kenosha county and in Lake county
in Illinois. A short time ago it was
reported that the rural lines in this
county would be connected with lines
in Waukegan and it is now learned
that these connections are to be made
by the Chicago Telephone company.
This company has gone into the rural
business extensively in other counties
regarded as suburban to Chicago and
this will be a similar movement.
The Chicago company claims to be
the pioneer in the telephone business
in rural districts and long before the
Bristol company was established in
this county the Chicago company had
phones at Dexters Corners and at the
LANCER Tavern.
These phones were, of course, test
stations for the line between Mi1wau-
kee and Chicago, but they we're
opened for the people in the district.
The main lines of the company in
this county will be in the eastern part
of the town of Pleasant Prairie. With
such line the company can reach
many people who are not at the pres
ent time reached by any of the rural
phone lines.
1t is claimed that the work of in
sta11ing these lines will be started as
soon as the posts can be set and that
the lines will be in working order be-
fore the end Of the summer.
Their plan is as follows: They put
eight on line, and charge them $3.50
month, the same as for phones in
the cities. The central is in Wauke-
kegan, and the same service is given
as in Waukegan, that is those on the
country lines can call up any part of
the United States with which the
Chicago Telephone company has con-
nections. The service is all day, all
night and all day Sunday, in contrary
distinction with the independent
line, which do not stay open all day
Sunday or at all hours.
There are already few lines like
this extending out of the Waukegan
Office, notably those on which Hiram
Ferry, Durkins, and few other fam
lilies on North Sheridan road outside
of the city are connected. Some Gus
toners were solicited last fall, but on
account of not being in the new and
larger exchange, aud thus not being
able to accommodate them, the plan
was allowed to rest until now, with
the new Office, the company is ready to
get out after the country business.
The Chicago Telephone company
plans to cover all the territory east of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
railroad. West of this they will not
go for the reason that this is all COW
cred by the Bristol Telephone COM
pany, and the Chicago company does
not wish to compete with them. So
1icitors will start out in the very near
future, and they anticipate large
number of subscribers.

The production was one of the best
