INDIAN SUMMER.

November comes like dame distressed
With pale brow all afrown,
Her lips drawn thin and close com
pressed,
Her long hair tumbling down;
And now she's listless, calm and still
And forces back her tears,
And now she means and raves until
The conquering winter nears-
'Tis then she yields with tender grace
Bewitches autumn days,
And glides away with sunny face
Soft yelled in purple haze.

The child was born without bone

Sir William Macewen kept in touch
with the boy, who at the age of IA

he had worked since. The young

SPORTS OF CHILDREN.

Skipping rope is childish pcstime
of ancient origin. In place of r2pa,
vine stripped OF leaves was Original
ly used.
The childish amusement @. riding a
cane is of great antiquity. 1t was
practiced by the children of Greece
and ancient Rome
The game of hide and seek is an
other youthful pastime of ancient
origin. 1t came from Europe alb cut
the beginning of the seventeenth CEN
tury.
The spinning OF tops, favorite
amusement among children in the
spring. also came from the Greeks.
Records show that this kind Of fun
was in vogue at the time of Vergil
Leap-frog is mentioned in the
works of both Shakespeare and John
son. 1t has been played by children
from early times, and is still a fa-
vorite game with boys.
The flying kite derived its name
from its originally being made to re-
semble that species OF bird called a
kite. The amusement of kite flying is
about two centuries old In Europe
Probably 1t originated in China.
where, so records tell the practice
of flying kites is very ancient.

HOW TO GROW DAHLIAs.
Plant Tubers About -Four Inches
Deep, Do Not Disturb Eyes-Hot
and Dry Weather Harmful.

There are few flowers more pleasing
than the dahlia. 1t is particularly for
cut flower purposes. as it continues t.
produce beautiful flowers longer than
most ether plants.
The tubers of a hundred different
varieties each with a charm of its
own, may be purchased, or the plants
may be grown from seed, but the
easiest method is to plant the tuber-
into several pieces each, leaving one
eye for each piece, and planted in a
yard or field like potatoes, except that
the time of planting must be delayed
until all danger of frost Is past
Care must be taken not to disturb
any OF the eyes. The tubers should be
planted about four inches deep and
given good watering Immediately
after planting. They grow best in very
rich, heavy soil, and should be plant
ed about two or three feet apart They
should be in a position which insures
plenty of light and air, but where the
plants will not be exposed to much di-
rect sunlight They will not endure a
long season of very not, dry weather
The plants should be tied to stakes
about four feet in height All but the
strongest shoots should be removed
as they appear, only the strongest be-
ing left standing. and the tying
should begin when the plant is foot
high, being continued as it grows
In the fall. after the frost has killed
the tops of the plants and there is dan
ger of the ground freezing, the roots
or tubers may be taken and stored in
dry, cool, frost-proof room or Gel
lar. 1t is a good plan to examine the
tubers occasionally during the win
ter and remove any decayed specimens
The dahlias which may be grown
by the amateur are numbered by the
hundred and every year new varieties
add to the list in beauty. form and
color.-Brooklyn Eagle.

pitfall.
This innkeeper, New Hampshire
man, was notorious for the bad quality
of his beer.
"A joker from sunapee, a gentleman
named Perley, said one day that he
would put up trick on the lnnkeeper
and as he sat at a table with some
friends in the inn he poured lot OF
vinegar and pepper into a glass of
beer before him.
Then Perley made horrible face
and roared out:
Dreadful. It's shame. This Is
not beer. 1t is poison

ried in.
whats the matter with you, Per.
ley?' he said. That beer is all right.
"'All right, is it,? said Perley, wink.
ing at his companions. Well, just
taste it and see if it's all right
THE landlord put the full glass OF
doctored beer to his lips. He drained
the vile mixture to the last drop. Then
determined to stand up Ior himself at
all costs, he said:
"An excellent glass of beer. never
tasted a better"

MS Claims After the matter had
been discussed at some length, Mr..
Morley said:

son is in possession of any land or
tenement belonging to another, and
wronSfully withheld from the owner,
whether the relation of landlord and
tenant ever existed between the par
ties or not The plaintiff claims to
be the owner of the estate, Vane
Hamilton. AS such he has right to
it. Otherwise he has none. The
sole issue to be tried is the identity
of the plaintiff with Vane Hamilton. "
! Exactly. Now, in what name shall
the writ be issued against him-Vic-
tor Hamilton or Ashley?"
Il don't absolutely know that it is
either"
That makes no difference. A fc-
titious name may he used. even,

1T may be your best hold later on -
II hope he will not contest my

But he Will. He has line points of
the law in his favor, he will reason.

that the twin brother was stolen, and
that you made search for him?'
Il think can. but shall be COM
PEELED to so to Elmira. At last ac-
| counts the nurse from whom the child
was stolen was alive. though very
feeble"
That would be point gained.
Then If you could prove that you went
in search of him it would be set
against the assertion of the defendant
that he had no brother, and his re-
fusal to tell why and when he went.
If it could be shown by any means
where you lost your sense of personal

A TALK ABOUT ROSES.
A Side Location Better Than Con.
spicuous One-Preparation of tho
so:l-Pattle Against Insects.

No garden is complete without
roses; fortunately there are varieties
suited to all climates and conditions.
but success with roses, as with men,
means putting the right one in tie
right place.
DO not put one of the large growing
types where there is barely room for a
small one; do not put a tall-growipg 9
sort where low-growing would look
better. and do not put climber
against wall where the sun will beat
on 1t for hours at a time.
Roses are more easily cared for
when grown in rows or beds than IS
single specimens scattered here a1d
there over the place, and make a niue h
hner showing when in bloom. Roses
are beautiful for comparatively short
time and do not make an attractive
showing except during the bloomir g
season. For this reason a side loca.
tion Is better than one more conspicl.

Spade the soil very deeply and mix
well rotted manure with it, using about
one-thlrd manure. II the soil is very
heavy and sticky, mix liberal amount
OF sand with it, and if the available
spot for the bed happens to be where
water stands during the winter dig the
soil out to depth of two feet or more.
and put down six-inch layer of
stones, broken crockery or bones to
serve as drainage material.
Mulch the rose buds early with old
manure. chip-dirt or lawn clippings.
Cut out dead branches and dead or
diseased tips to where the wood is
healthy. Ever-blooming sorts bloom
on the new wood. while almost every
other variety produces its blossoms on
the short lateral shoots that start out
from the side of the old branches.
Sometimes roses are spoiled by mil
dew, though this rarely happens ex-
cept when growing in damp and shad-
ed places. Sprinkle sulphur over the
leaves when wet with dew, and if this
does not check the disease move the
plants to location where they get
