THE BEST HE COULD GET.

stand Why Seeds Did Not Sprout.

The woes Of the amateur gardener
are very amusing to others, but de-
cidedly real to the man who has
spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his
hands and lost his temper in his eff
forts to make things grow.
A young man, recently married.
early in the spring secured a SUBJ
urban place, mainly with the idea Of
fresh, homegrown vegetables Every
evening he would hurry through his
supper and rush out to his garden,
where he displayed more energy than
skill. But, alas! When many little
green things began to break the
ground in his neighbors' gardens, his
W remained as bare as the Sahara.

confided to a friend at his Office one

In the full glow of the lamp within,

Miss Carney gave a glad little cry
and started away toward the house,
but turned in an instant and extended
her hand, saying: ?
