Artistic garden beds have earned n
good long rest. If there ever was any
reason for them it has all vanished.
The best way to grow garden vegetables
nowadays is to grow them in long rows
so they can be easily cultivated by hand
or wheel hoe. Plant rows extending
across the garden, arranging the varie-
ties so that other and later crops can
take the place of the early vegetables.

where Funston Didn't Swim.

We crossed the Bagbag river, which
Fred Funston didn't swim. The Bagbag
looks a good deal like Independence creek
at the place where you cross it on the
Donphan road. Two privates in the Kan
sas regiment really swan the river, under
fire, but Funston received the credit. Aft
erward the incident, applying to Fun
stor, was taken out of the Kansas school
readers. I do not know whether Funston
claimed the credit of swimming the river
or not: possibly he denied it all the time
and he was made a hero in spite of his
screams You may remember that Theo-
dore Roosevelt was nominated for vice
