BEAUTY OF THE SEOWDROP.
Delicate Flowers that Make Their
way Through March snow.

Prom the Garden Magazine
There is no denying that for people
VINO want their moneys worth, the best
spring blooming bulbs are tulips. dafo-
dis. and hyaclnths. simply because they
have the largest flowers. One admires
and even loves these snowy flowers OF
April and May. but do they ever take
hold of ones heart. Ike the baby fin
gers Of the snowdrop-that sweet en-
blem of purity which is the first frai
flower TO escape the clutch OF winter
Or the azure scilla springing up amid the
first grass. TO remind us of the new life
and biueness in the sky Or the gay,
ehildlike croeUses playing in the lawn
the first unmistakable smile of awaken
ing spring?
There are about a dozen of these mes
sengers Of spring that can ordinarily be
CounteU on for March flowers in the
North The first of them, in the IAN
guage of Maeterlinck. are "fraH and
chilly, but bright-faccd as q bold idea
They have sacrificed much for earliness-
size, fragrance, and variety in color. but
their delicate grace and unconquerabIe
hardness strikes Us all with fresh ad-
miration every year Who taught these
fragile blossoms to brave the snowe How
have they managed to survive the long,
grim process Of evolution One fancles
that they must be as dear 10 natures
neart as to our own. Is not this peculiar
combination of child-like helplessness
and immortal courage the secret Of their
universal appeal?
The loveliest snowdrops I ever knew
still grow in deserted village IN Miehi-
gan that bears the high-sOunding name
of Gibraltar. The blessed memory Of the
old shipbuilder VINO once supported
there a Furnishing community is kept
green by the trees that arch protecungly
over the staunch old house. and by the
countless thousands CT snowdrops that
carpet the ground beneath them Every
five years the gracious housewife used 10
dig up and divide her snowdrops tas
every one should. but for twenty years
now they have multiplied until the bulbs
touch one another. Every member of
that household who has gone forth to
found new family has revcrently trans
ported. with his Lares and Penates. some
Of the bulbs, so rich I'm home associa-
ton. It is just such a sacred intimate
spot in which every one should plant
snOwdrops, for they prefer 60 ripen their
bulbs in a moist, partially shaded posi-
ton, while most other bulbs solidify best
in dry soil baked by the summer sun
The earliest snowdTops. however, are
those which get every bit of sunshine
there is in March. II hardly seems crcdi-
bic that trees bare branches should
cast enough shade TO delay a flower bed
a week, yet it is a fact. The SnOwdrop
is one of the very few flowers that viii
do even tolerabIy well on the north side
of a house, in a dark, narrow passage
way. where only ferns could be expected
to live.

GirIs &C Caddies Nor.

From the Philadelphia Record
Young women addicted 10 golf are Sc
curing young girls as caddies. So there's
another masculine occupation changing
hands. The players say they never had
boy attendant yet who didn't either gig
gle. laugh, exclaim. or cTiticise when the
golfer made an of hit The boys, too,
were apt to run of after stray squirrels
or else were too busy to come at the very
time their services were most desired.
According to Good Housekeeping. those
who have tried girls find them more re-
spectful. more companionable, and more
conscientious. Their strength seems equal
to that of the boys. while their manners
are decidedly more soothing.

PRESIDENT MAY GO TO CUBA.
Possibly lie VIII stop on En- Route
from Panama.

Il is believed that President Roosevelt
may decide to stoT. off in Cuba on his re-
turn from his visit to the Isthmus Of
Panama in November. There are so many
questions Of great moment affecting the
present and future peace and prosperity
Of The island, that it is suggested that he
may later find It advisable to send a
special MESSAGE TO Congress on the sub
jeCt Of Cuba.
In that case a visit to Havana would
enable him to give the paper a personal
flavor
The details of the plan for the Presi-
dents trip TO Panama are now being
worked out at the White House and Navy
Department II has been decided TO
place the monster battle ship Louisiana
at the Presidents service It is likely
that two of the newest cruisers will be
selected as a convoy The trip will con-
sumo at least three weeks. The personnel
OF the Presidents party Is not known, but
il is still believed that Mrs. Roosevelt
viii be one member Of the Presidents
family to accompany him.

No more they Ii have those thrilling dives and falls
That have their sequel IN the doctors bill
Perhaps 30 this neglected ground there crccps
Some chap who last year played the game:
He takes one iock-ah how the POOR chap weers-
Across the field where he lost gore and fame
Full many star Of Ugrest raw serene
The white beds Of son hospital now bear:
Fnil many players born 10 eroan unseen
And waste much arnica-likewise much swear
Far fran q madding crowds ignoble cheers
Hereafter hey wiz limp their way along,
And play kigh-fiYe, shake the dice for beers
o. stick &c that most quiet game, ping-pong.
