GARDEN TOOLS.
The Selection Of the Right Ones OF
Great Importance.

The selection of garden tools avail
able for man who wants to DO
things right is now an extremely va
ried one. He may have as compli-
Gated paraphernalia as the golf player
If he chooses. There are all kinds or
pushing and pulling hoes, and weed
ers, wheel hoes and horse tools. 1t IS
hardly practicable for any man to run
the whole gamut, even if expense is
no object to him. The fact is that
many of the tools are adapted only to
special crops or special soils. Still,
the up-to-date gardener will certain
ly provide himself with a consider
able number of these helps, and from
day to day he will employ that one
best adapted to do the task in hand.
In the mere matter of hoes there
have been improvements. AS a rule,
the blade Of the modern hoe is made
thinner and lighter. than formerly. In
fact, one of the most conspicuous diff
terences between those regions which
still practice semi-ciyilized kind of
agriculture and those in which the
most advanced ideas are held, is this
difference in the weight of hoes.

.snpRAG THE. ROAD,
The Gospel Which Needs to Be =
49, Preached and Practiced.


You seem to think, says writer in
the Rural New Yorker, that because
man grades and fits the roadside in
front of his farm and turns it into a
beautiful lawn, then in a muddy sea-
son the drivers desert the road and
travel the entire length on this smooth
grass, the Recording Angel might
with propriety look away and turn a
deaf ear to some bad though or even
bad language this man is tempted to
USE Now, I find this very thing; I
worked, graded and fitted the road
side in front of my farm; | hauled on
to it several loads of rotted manure,
that I badly needed on my truck
patch; I sowed expensive lawn grass;
clipped it when I should have spent
the time in wedding onions, and now
the road being simply impossible,
people that of necessity must travel
over it in sheer desperation turn from
it on to this smooth" grass. Now,
under the conditions, what sort Of
language would be justified in using,
and how would such language look
in print? I might do like neighbor,
lay rails on this smooth grass and
thus prevent people from getting on
to it, but do not think it would be
lawful, as this road, from fence to-
fence, belongs to the travelling public,
and not to me Individually, so if go
to work and turn public property:
used as a road into lawn, can see
no way out but to suffer the conse-
quences. I must here confess that
I love to see a nice roadside in front
Of farm, and in this instance will
say that can blame only myself for
the way it is now cut up. Had
graded the roadbed first in front of
my farm, and put in drst-class con-
dition to travel on, and kept it up as
I expect to do now, in a way that it
will not tempt travellers to leave it,
then fix up the roadside, no one would
think of cutting up this smooth
grass. I have graded the road now,
and have made drag of two pieces
of oak timber 6x6 inches, eight feet
long, set on sharp edges, strip Of
heavy wagon tire spiked to cutting
edge. These sticks I have bolted to-
gether foot apart with a chain in
front to hitch to, so that I can run
the drag in any desired angle, and
from now on propose to adhere strict
ly to the advice given in the following
| poem:
When the smiles of spring appear,
Drag the road;
When the summer time is here,
Drag the road;
When the corn is in the ear.
In the winter, cold and drear;
Every season in the year;
Drag the road!
When you've nothing else to do,
Drag the road,
If but for an hour or two,
Drag the road,
It will keep them good as new,
With a purpose firm and true.
| Fall in line-its up to you;
Drag the road.
Would you do the proper thing?
Drag the road.
Set the system on the wing.
Drag the road.
Give the drag a lively swing.
Toss the laurel wreath to King.
Hats off! everybody sing,
Drag the road.

This so angered Mrs. Sibley that
she started in with the broom and
whacked at every rat she saw. One
began to squeal and instantly the cel-
lar seemed full of drunken rodents.
They ran for the woman, fastened
their teeth in her legs, tore her dress
to shreds and ripped her shoes from
her feet. When attacked she started
to run, but fell over a shovel and
score of the animals bit her in the
neck and shoulders before she could
make her way up the stairs to the
kitchen. There she tainted and was
later found by the husband of the
sick neighbor when he came for the
elderberry wine
Investigation showed that the rats
had got into the vat only the night
before, and that the whole colony was
drunk when Mrs. Sibley went into the
cellar.

Detroit, Mich.-Afraid of their lives.
fearful Of leaving their homes, the
children in the vicinity of Mt. Elliott
and Monroe avenues have not played
In the streets for several nights.
Older persons, too. remain on front
porches and do not wander far from
the open doorway, through which they
may fee at moments notice.
John King, a man with a wrecked
mind, is the cause of the commotion
that exists in that vicinity, and al
though hunted by officers, he has elud-
ed them and a complete reign of ter
ror exists around that corner of Mt.
Elliott cemetery.
King is powerful young fellow
of about Is years. After his mind
gave way he was taken to the Dear
born retreat, but about a month ago
returned to his home in this city.
For several weeks there was no in.
dication of anything wrong with the
young man. But, suddenly, he began
to develop fondness for the solitude
OF the cemetery, especially at night.
and forsaking his bed at home. he
climbed the big trees among the head
stones and slept on the limbs after
the primitive fashion.
King had the idea that the GENE.
terry contained great lake and that
on it's shores was the ideal canning
place. And at night, to avoid the
heat, he would steal away to his tree
bed.
Neighbors who knew of the occur
renee notified the police at the Elm.
wood station. Several men were de-
tailed to effect the capture Of the
young man, and nightly they have
patroled the vicinity, three or four of
them frequently being seen in that
portion where the demented man was
supposed to be.
Often King would leave the seclu-
sion of his haunts in the cemetery and
walk with quick, jerky stride along
the walks adjacent to the cemetery.
One night, when an officer accosted
him, King. it is said. wheeled and
struck the officer a violent blow, fell
ing him to the ground, and, turning,
ran north.

that they had gnawed through the

There was some excited talk, and a

For the first time Winslow addressed
her: II believe they call you mine,
since the cards have SO decreed, but
pardon me, if decline the honor. It
would save me responsibility if you
would remain under the care of this
gentleman" and he waved his hand
toward the planter.
Without word, but with world
of gratitude In her deep eyes, the wom-
an glided to her old masters side.
He murmured half articulate
'Thank you" to Winslow, and to-
gether they left the room. :,
"Well, you are softie!'
"What are you skeered off,"
But Winslow was glad to escape the

made his way out and up to the deck,

Winslow continued: IF, as I under.

woman was the stake upon his side, then

the winner by a polite bow. Their

A pause followed this abrupt ques
ton.
The planter, whose courage grad.
ually rose with his springing hope
muttered: lone hundred dollars"
''One hundred dollars? A pitifu]
sum! You gave frightful odds. But
Of course you felt sure Of winning u
Winslow added, with suave sarcasm.
Then turning to the captain, he pro-
ceeded: 1T appears, then, that the
woman is yours, but she is evidently
an unwilling prize. Does not this fact
considerably lessen her value? Sup
pose we play again, she the stake on
your side-this mine."
He drew small sack from his pock-
ct, and laid it upon the table. No
sound followed the clink of metal, out
woman's shuddering sigh.
Under gloomy brows her old master
stared at the new. The latter stood
for a moment, frown Of bafaed rage
distorting his sinister face.
"She was fairly staked, and fairly
won" he declared. "The odds are not
my business, and id if I'm to be
bamboozled out of the profit Of a fair
game!"
But what profit is there in an un-
willing slave? You might sell her, to
be sure, but that would not be sports
manlike, and" here Winslow stepped
nearer with insinuating clink Of
money: Come, you are no Shylock
to stick to the letter of the bond;
GOMEZ" and he slowly counted out $1OO
which he slid to the table. The sack
he replaced in his pocket.
All eyes were upon the boatman as
his hungry glance sought the glittering
pile. All the lust Of the cards was on
him. Winslow had counted upon this,
and upon the gamblers faith in sue
cess.
''Done!" cried the captain, and with
the scraping of chairs and shuttle of
cards, the game was on.
In breathless silence the spectators
huddled about the players-the one
frowning, his close-cropped head held
rigid in the thick, short neck, his eyes
cleaning like small Goals out of red
yeined face.
The other was paler than usual, but
placid, self contained.
The Spaniard looked on with an
amused, cynical smile. That this east
ern gallant, with the bow of Chester
field, and the air Of a student, should
break lance with so hardy an op-
ponent, aroused feelings of admira-
tion and pity.
The woman crept nearer, her heart
in her eyes.
Two or three loungers strolled in,
and there was an interested ring
about the players.
Afew more turns of the cards, and both
men pushed back their chairs - the
game was over!
