 It. ..' : --,s -.5 ~
 Nature is ever ready to give lavishly for many to enjoy. She is more than willing to adorn our front yard with ornamental shrubs trees and vines, to bedeck the ground with grass and flow CTS if we will but aid her, The cottage may be very simple, but if the lawn, is green and neat, the roses in bloom, or the flower beds sending forth their fra grance, it reveals to those who pass along the road, refinement, comfort and attractiveness. .. .t
 As a rule, country home surround ings are sadly neglected, and this, per haps, is due more to urgent field work than simple neglect orlss the part of the farmer. Walk out onE to your front yard some nice warm day, and make a careful study of your present land scape. Note the condition of your lawn. Are there not some bare places which need reseeding and some uneven spots that could be wonderfully im- proved by little filling in with load or two of dirt? Next, have you enough shade and ornamental trees and are they standing on their proper places Here let me add by way of parenthesis do not plant large growing trees direct ly in front of the house, so as to ob- struct the view of the public highway, and don't plant trees too close together.
 If your purse is limited, the next time you chance to go to the woods, take a good spade and put some wet straw in your wagon box. Then dig up eare- fully, some well shaped medium sized native forest trees-such as elm, ma pie, box elder or even cottonwood, and bring them home. If you find nut bearing trses or mulberry. you will be very fortunate to add them to your list.
 If these trees are carefully planted in their proper places on the, lawn, nut bearing trees in the back yard, the mulberry in the poultry yard, it will be the most satisfactory work that you have done for many a day,
 A few shrubs planted each year will soon create a lovely landscape. A handsome bed of roses is a delight to all who chance to pass your way, and 8 small expenditure will procure them,
 Make it a rule to spend few hours of each week in your front yard. Ksep the grass nicely clipped, the shrubs and roses well cultivated and the chickens and pigs in their respective places.- Orange Judd Farmer. .,',..e .e-'--

 The sids oi the island on which his boat was moored was in direct range of the pJrsuers' guns, so Hornsby went to the farther side, and springing into the water, swam for the opposite main- land.

 The bullet went true, tore a great hole in the outlaws skull, gashed and tore his brain, and ended his villain ous career. With Hornsby's passing came peace to the district, and there was none to regret him.-New Or leans Picayune.

 In that section of south central Louisinana, where the thickly wooded country is interlaced and cut up by shallow, sluggish bayous and a chain of picturesque lakes, the home of the alligator and the wild duck, q district almost primeval in its virgin state, several years ago lived men whose character and habits were largely in keeping with their surroundings, and of these some queer atoms in the uni versal system, stories stirring and strenuous may be told. .-- ,...,s .. Major M. P. Robertson of the State Engineer Corps knows the district above referred to well, and has even a better knowledge of the charater of it's late inhabitants, having seen and close ly studied the strange fellows and marked their ways. . ,S Ss''
 The major, seated at his desk in the engineers office, several days ago, fell to talking of the Southern lakes and bayous, and before he had gone far, interested auditors led him on to tell the story of Hornsby, the daring swamp outlaw. t N'%.@F Hornsby came from somewhere up in West Virginia and when he struck the swampers' camp in the woods of Iberville parish, there was a price on his head for some daring crime he had committed in the Middle West.
 The swampers were rough, uncouth set, most of them having been import ed from Hornsby's district and neigh- boring States, and out of a spirit of hatred and opposition to establish law, common with people of their class, they consented to shield the outlaw, and protect him from possible detection.
