people who never heard the sound OF
a gun in battle, but who attend with

Accounts of the reunion of FORESTS
veterans in Memphis last week do not
differ from others in the above named
respect. Quoting from the News
Scimitar's account of the parade:
Carriages were not as plentiful as
they might have been, and those that
were in the parade were in the great
est number of cases occupied by those
who never saw the war. Much dis
appointment was felt by the veterans
over this state of affairs, as they
wanted to get into the parade. Many
of them were unable to ride horse
back, but they wanted to ride in bug

Washer Wit.
BY STRICKLAND w. GILLIAN.

Not often does the professional
masher display genuine wit. How
ever, the French variety of this un-
chaste bird has an audacity that
sometimes amounts to much the same
thing.
A lady from an Illinois town was
visiting Rome with a chaperoning
auntie, who had forbidden the niece's
going out alone. This restriction was
naturally CALLING to the independent
American girl accustomed to the
man-like freedom of her country.
One day she leased at her chaperon
for an hours liberty until the latter
consented reluctantly, and with the
express stipulation that the young
woman was not, under any condi-
tions, to linger before shop windows
or elsewhere on the street.
In her eagerness for freedom the
young lady promised, only to forget
her promise in her untrammeled joy
at finding herself unguarded. First

Stopping once, she noted, without
a direct look, that man was stop

window, she noted that the same man
loitered near once more. Still her
alarm was not kindled till she saw
him stop beside her at third shop
and heard him accost her with a
polite Good-morning, in French.
Indignantly she turned to him, and,
supposing him to be ignorant of Eng
lish, she stamped her foot vigorous

The tree-seat everyone can not
have, for the very good reason that
all lawns are not provided with trees,
and all trees are not trees for tree
seats. The tree-seat is a very an
cient scheme for a resting place and
the fiction of years ago dwelt with
tender interest around the tree-seat
which was the trysting place Upon
large estates in this country the tree
seat is frequently found, in England
it is quite common. They are made
either square or CIRCULAR about the
tree with wide fat strips set an inch
apart for the seat proper. The backs
are made to conform symmetrically
to the outline of the seat, and are
built so that no portion touches the
bark of the tree.
Rustic seats and chairs are not
without their champions, and their
number does not seem to show an
appreciate decrease even though the
sentimental persons have learned
that rustic seats are turned out by
the dozens by manufacturers in the
hearts of some of our populous cit
les. 1t has been urged, half in earn
est and half in jest, that the ma
chine-made rustic seat is the best ap-
pearing rustic seat ever invented. A
genuine rustic seat is thing of
beauty, but to rest upon, back to
back, is often task for contortion-
list.
Not everyone who has lawn is
enough of a carpenter to make these
lawn seats, and again some who are
blessed with sufficient mechanical
ability do not have the inclination to
use it, so in six cases out of ten a
carpenter is called in to do the work.
While the initial cost of these home
made lawn seats is higher than that

article, they possess higher value
because each is an original pattern,
more substantial and will last much
longer.

FOR THE CEMETERY LOT.


1t is hard to 4vise as to what
will best suit for planting on or about
the graves of loved ones; cemeteries
are usually on high ground, where
the heat of summer and severe cold
Of winter have full play, and unless
a caretaker is on the grounds all
the time, only such plants as will
stand the drouths of summer and
the severe freezes of winter, and
which will bear the inevitable neglect
to which they must in most cases be
subjected, should be chosen. There
are few such plants, but even these
require some care in order to do their
best. A few plants will bloom con-
tinuously, or give masses of green
foliage as long as they can live; but
they are few.
1t is good idea now, during the
rest season of the summer, to remove
the stiff clay that is usually heaped
on the top of the mound and for it
substitute plenty of rich garden loan.
Do not use fresh manure, as this
tends to dry out the soil. Rich garden
loan is best. After the soil is pre-
pared, hardy perennial seeds may be
sown, or, little later in the season

LAWN AND GARDEN SEATS.

The refuge from the city. and it's
atmosphere, care and money grub
bling, was well enough, but all who
sought an escape were not able for
one reason or another to get into the
country. Naturally they have been
doing the next thing, bringing the
beauty of growing plants, budding
and blossoming, to them, and they
have without doubt changed the
atmosphere of the home life much to
Its betterment.
But even with different environ
ment, it would seem that there still
remained problem. 1t may not be
a serious one, in fact chow to enjoy
might resolve itself into the mere
premise that enjoyment was purely a
mental condition and subject, there
fore, to an endless argument hope
lessly entangled with the intricacies
of unproven theories of psychology.
In any event, physical comfort is es-
sential to the full appreciation of the
beautiful, as those will testify who
have tramped through art galleries
or along the Grand Canyon with
blistered feet.
To enjoy your lawn on your flower
garden for any length of time, to
really get into it's atmosphere and
breathe its fragrance you should sit
down. The most artistically arranged
flower garden with it's graveled paths
lined with ribbons of growing plants
or blossoms seems to offer you only
an avenue for present enjoyment, and
lack of garden seats, or places to sit
down and rest, make the grounds as
forbidding by their absence as the
legend, Keep Off the Grass" does
by it's presence.
Lawn seats, lawn swings. chairs
and hammocks are so plentiful, va
ried, comfortable and reasonable in
price nowadays that there appears
but small excuse for their absence
upon any lawn or garden. They are
made in devious patterns and some
are fitted up with patent contri-
vances, all intended, (and a good
many live up to their purpose) to
make the home-owner comfortable
There are, however, a number of
lawn seats which, because of their
unique patterns, have special APP
psal, and though they are somewhat
unusual in design they do not lose
their value for purpose of repose.
From purely decorative point of
view they have marked an advance
over most of the lawn furniture on
sale in the stores, A great many adj
here to straight lines, and indeed
some of them partake CT all the
requisites to be placed il the mission

lawn should have great deal to do
with the way the lawn seats are
