stump afame with nastMtiums for
fully three minutes. Later on I was
to learn the significance of that pause
and reverie.
l spent the whole evening with
Uncle Dick. After we had explored
the garden he took me into hrs house
and into his den" The house was
a small white one and wonderfully
neat inside, considering the fact that
Uncle Dick was his own hOusekeeper.
His 'den'' was a comfortable place,
it's one window so Swallowed by huge
poplar that the room had a grotto-
like effect of emerald gloom. 1 came
to know it we'll, for, at Uncle Dicks
invitation, did my studying there
and browsed at will among his clas-
sizes We soon became close friends.
Uncle Dick had always "chummed
with the masters as he said, but our
friendship went deeper. For my own
part, / preferred his company to- that
of any young man l knew. There was
a perennial spring of youth in Uncle
Dicks soul that yet had all the fasci-
mating f1acor of ripe experience. He
was clever, kindly, humorous, and,
withal, so crystal clear of mind and
heart that an atmosphere partaking
of childhood hung round him.
I knew Uncle Dicks outward his
tory as the Bayside people knew it.
It was not a very eventful one. He
had lost his father in boyhOod; before
that there had been some idea OF
Dicks going to college. After his
fathers death he seemed quietly to
have put all such hopes away and set
tied down to look after the farm and
take care of his invalid stepmother.
This woman, as 1 learned from others,
but never from Uncle Dick, had been
peevish, fretful eXacting creature
and for nearly thirty years Uncle Dick

soon came to symbolic for me a
meaning easier to translate into life
and soul than into words. Ut was a
power for good within me, making it's
influence felt in many ways.
Finally 1 caught Uncle Dick in his
garden. On my way home one even
ing found him on his knees among
the rose bushes, and as soon as he
saw me he sprang up and came for
ward with outstretched hand. He was
tall man of about fifty, with griz-
Zled hair; but not a thread of silver
yet showed itself in the ripples of his
long brown beard. Later / discovered
that his splendid beard was Uncle
Dicks only vanity. So fine and silky
was it that it did not hide the candid,
sensitive curves of his mouth, around
which mellow smile, tinged with
kindly, quizzical humor, always lin
gered. His face was tanned even
more deeply than is usual among
farmers, for he had an inveterate
habit of going about hatless in the
most merciless sunshine, but the line
of forehead under his hair was white
as milk and his eyes were darkly
blue and as tender as woman's.
"How do you do, Master?'' he said
heartily, (the Bayside pedagogue was
invariably addressed as MASTER by
young and old, I'm glad to- see you.
Here 1 am, trying to save my rose
bushes. There are green bugs on 'em,
Master green bugs; and they're wor-
rying the life out of me-
smiled, for Uncle Dick looked very
unlike worrying man, even over such
serious accident as green bugs.
''Your roses don't seem to mind,
finest 1 have ever seen.''
The compliment to his roses, we'll
deserved as it was, did not at first en-
gage his attention. He pretended to
frown at me.
Don't get into any bad habit Of
mistering me, Master he said.
"You'd better begin by calling me
Uncle Dick from the start and then
you won't have the trouble Of chang
ing Because it would come to that
it always does. But come in, come in!
There's a gate round here. 1 want to
get acquainted with you. I have
taste for schoolmasters. I didn't pos
sess it when 1 was boy" "a CLINT

''it's an acquired TASTE
I accepted his Invitation and went,
not only into his garden, but, as was
proved later, into his confidence and
affection. He linked his arm with
mine and piloted me about to show
me his pets.
IL potter about this garden consid-
erable," he said. "It pleases the
women folks to have lots of posies."
1 laughed, for Uncle Dick was a
bachelor and considered to be a hope
less one.
''Don't laugh, MasterJf' he said,
pressing my arm, ''I've no woman

summer, one ait Rocky Valley and one
at Bayside. At first, / inclined to
Rocky Valley; it possessed a railway
station and was nearer the centers Of
business and educational activity.
But eventually / chose Bayside,
thinking that it's country quietude
would be a good thing for student
who was making school teaching the
stepping stone to college course.
l had reason to be glad of my
choice, for in Bayside i met Uncle
Dick. Ever since it has seemed to
me that not to have known Uncle
Dick would have been to- miss a great
sweetness and inspiration from my
whose friendship is at once pleasure
and a benediction, showering light
from their own crystal clearness into
all the dark corners in the souls of
others, until, for the time being at
least, they reflected his own simplicity
and purity. Uncle Dick could no
more help bringing delight into the
lives of his associates than could the
sunshine or the west wind or any
other of the best boons of nature.
l had been in Bayside three weeks.
before l met him, although his farm
adjoined the one where boarded and
l passed at a little distance from his
house every day in my short cut
across the fields to- school. l even
passed his garden unsuspectingly for
week, never dreaming that behind
that rank of leafy, rustling poplars
lay a veritable Goods acre. of lowell
ness and fragrance But one day as
[ went 10y, Whit of something sweet
er than the odors of Araby brushed
my face and, following the wind that
had blown it through the poplars, l
went up to the white paling and found
there a trellis of honeysuckle and be-
yond it, Uncle Dicks garden. There
after / daily passed close by the fence
that l might have the privilege of
looking over it.
1t would be hard to define the
charm of that garden. 1t did not con-
sist in order or system, for there was
no trace of either, except perhaps, in
that prim row of poplars growing
about the whole domain and shutting
it away from all idle and curious
eyes, For the rest, l think the real
charm must have been in it's unex-
pectedness. At every turn and in
every nook you stumbled on some
miracle of which you had never
dreamed. Or perhaps the charm was
simply that the whole garden was an
expression of Uncle Dicks personality.
In one corner a little green dory,
filled with earth, overlooking in
the poplars there were shadows and
of the garden an old birch bark canoe
seemed sailing through sea of bios
SONS, with many-colored freight Of

appropriated $4,000 to be expended
under the direction OF the secretary OF

Tho act further provided that all In

1t is a remarkable fact that the In.
dian Territory has no insane asylum.
Formerly the unfortunate insane were
either held in the federal iails or
cared for by their relatives and

referred to.

for the insane at stipulated price
agreed upon with the secretary Of
the interior. The asylum at Canton is
owned and supported by the United
States and Is exclusively for Indians
without reference to what part OF the
United States they are from.
There is little insanity among the
Indians. They either take life too easy
or do not regard themselves serious

philosophers and have learned to bear
the evils OF life with calmness and
