Particularly Attractive.
Among the school grounds that are par
tlcuiarly attractive are the Force, Franklin,
Morgan, Lenox and the Western High

neighboring househoiders, were secured by
the special permission of the board of edu-
cation early in the fall. Penny collections
were taken in each school, and every pupil.
IL he so desired, contributed one copper. 1t
Is to be remembered that there are more
than 5000 pupils in the schools
At the Western High School, the only gee
ondary institution which has taken a keen
interest in the Holland bulb movement
more than 800 tulips, 1000 crocuses. 600
sEowdrops and LOCO jonquils and narcissi
were ordered.
At some of the graded schools more than
1900 tulips and hyacinths were put out.
Special arrangements had been made with
dealers. that large bulbs were obtained
for a penny apiece and some for even less.
One OF the greatest delights to the chill
dren is that these gardens are not gifts
to them, but are the result of their own
purchases and work, and as such the pupils
feel a sense of personal ownership
Havoc at the Start.
Three years ago. when the garden move
ment was started, the plants which were
set out at the Franklin school were found
one Monday morning all uprooted and
thrown into the street. The teachers in
charge secured during the week which fol-
lowed new plants. and the beds were all
reset. The Monday following the street was
full of dying cannas. geraniums and other
plants Appeal was made to the police.
and those guardians advised the teachers
that the pupils themselves were the mis-
ChieVous yandals
Not to be overcome, again the garden
beds were filed and this time by sinking
the potted plants which had been used TO
decorate the windows of the school. The
same fate befell them. for plants and pots
were broken to pieces.
Then a little lesson in moral exposition
was brought out. The children were made
to understand that the flowers, seeds and
bulbs which would be put out in future were
their own. The penny package OF seed and
the penny bulb was inaugurated. There
was to be no beauty given the school or to

Hints On Sea BATHING.

AS it is, quite likely that the
Lake Koen reservoir will be built
IN the future, some hints on sea
bathing may not be amiss to our
readers. Paste this in our hat for
future references:
From the New York Telegram.
Don't take a sea bath when
fatigued or overheated.
Don't battle when the flesh
feels cold.
Don't go in the water when it
chills the body.
Don't 60 in the water directly
after eating.
Don't battle longer than twenty
minutes.
Don't exercise violently after
leaving the water.
Don't lie on the sand.- Get
dressed at once.

The WHEELS ARE BUzzlNG.

That the machine republicans Of
Kansas those party servers who
have dominated the party in the
past, and who in turn are dominated
blythe railroad and the other corpor.
ate interests Of the state-are becom
ing desperate is evidenced by the
tone of bitterness and elimination in
the machine press of the state. For
instance, read this editorial in the
Hutchinson News of the 9th, copied
from the Wichita Eagle and endorsed
by the News:
There are enemies in the Repub
lican camp who ought tobe fired out.
We are not saying anything against
Mr.. Harris when we repeat that the
man who wants him elected governor
OF Kansas has no business in The
council chamber of the Republican
party, shooting Governor Hoch,in the
back. Such Republicans ought to
get over into the other line where
they can shoot and be shot at"
And there you are, you republi
cans who believe it your honorable
duty to yourself and to your state, are
according 10 the bosses enemies to
the republican party and ought to be
fired out"
Unless the signs all fail, and unless
the people of Kansas have lost that
spirit of Independence which has
made our state famous as leader in
reform movements, we opine that the
fellows who hope to not only "rail.
road" their ticket to success the com.
ing fall, and railroad" the best ele.
ment OF their party back into line by
the old party lash, will be sadly dis,
appointed.

 File the 31a-inch piece oval, as in the sketch, and make a short taper wedge so as not to stick too tight in the spreader. Now place tool in the barrel opposite the dent (short piece next to dent). warm the barrel on hot iron at the dent, put oil on the wedge and drive with light hammer. The dent will come out very easily A good size for the wedge is about IS inches long and made of a suitable stock.
 With q little care and good judg- ment, writes a correspondent of the American Blacksmith, very bad dents can be removed with this tool.
