THE GARDEN SCHOOL.
How Children of Newton Were Taught
 to Beautify Home Grounds


 to Beautify Home Grounds.
 Writing in Maxwelrs Talisman of the work of the garden school in New ton, Mrs. 1T. X. Elliott says:
 An object lesson to the citizens of Newton was the garden school con- dueted by the ladies of the Social Sci ence club of that town during the sum- mer of 1906. Assured by George H. Maxwell of the Home Crofters' guild of the Talisman of the free services of an experienced garden director, provided the club could defray the further ex- pense of garden, a committee of five ladies was appointed from the club to see what could be done.
 First they obtained the use of piece of vacant land on Jackson road, which was then an open grass plot Then an appeal was made by the con- mittee to the department of agriculture at Washington for free seeds, which were promptly sent The committee sent a circular letter to about fifteen of the enterprising business men of New ton telling them of the plans for the garden school and asking them if they were sufficiently interested in the ex- pertinent to give it some financial SUD- port.
 The response was quick, and at the end of week we had the required $10O, and the director went to work One hundred and six gardens 9 by 8 feet were planted by as many different children from the Nonantum district, and the names of as many more inter- ested children were placed on the wait ing list.
 A few of these children, having learn ed how under the direction at the gar den school, went back to the home dooryards which had for all time prevl- ously been used for dumps, cleared away the debris, spaded up the earth and planted seeds which they procured gratis from the director The reward was scarlet runner at the doorstep, 8 row each of lettuce, radishes and beans and for garden flowers nasturtiums, suntiowers and sweet alyssum. One of the boys carried some vegetables from his home garden into the exhibi- tion at Horticultural hall and was awarded prize. Could these children, think you, ever again be contented to live in a dump instead of a flower gar den? These girls and boys learned the law of cause and effect; that the soil through healthful. pleasant labor will produce food supplies sufficient to nour. lsh the body; that debris, squalor and untidiness may be supplanted by clean. Illness, order and beauty and many oth CT lessons, not the least of which were pride in ownership and respect for otb: CT peoples rights.

Speak We'll of Your Town.

Strangers seeking location are d. ways greatly influenced in favor of any place where the citizens are en- thusiastic in it's praise. When away from home, do not neglect to give those with whom you come in contact to un- derstand that you live in live town, populated by enterprising, go ahead, progressive people, and one that is ad- yanclng instead of retrograding. If you can truthfully speak in commen- dation of the ability of your profes- sional men, the square dealing methods of your merchants. the superiority of your schools, etc. let nothing prevent you from exercising that privilege.

Chew What You Know About and Know What You Are cheWinu

There is real pleasure in chewing the best tobacco grown-Where the best tobacco grows-in the famous Piedmont Country.
 Only choice selections of this well-matured and thoroughly cured tobacco is used ir making SCHNAPPs. That why SCHNAPPs and others of the Reynolds brands, as shown by the Internal Revenue statistics for fiscal year, made the wonderful growth of six and otle- quarter million pounds, or net gain of o1e- third of the entire increased consumption of chewing and smoking tobaccos in the United States.
 Evidently. chewers cannot resist thehavor and they cheer sCHNAPPs because SCI1NAPPS cheers them more than any other chewing to- bacco, and every man that chews SCHNAPPS passes the good thing along-one chewer makes other chewers the fact is now es- taolished that there are many more

 SCHNAPPS is like a cup of no Java coffee. sweetened just e1louc..1 to bring out it's natural, stimulating qualities. SCHNAPPs pleases a1l classes of chewers: the rich, 7]e- cause they do not find a cl,cgg -lat really pleases them better at any price; the poor, because it is more economical thar the large 1Oc. or 15c. plugs and they get their mon- ey's worth of the real snappy, stim- ulating flavor so appreciated by to- bacco lovers.

cupations in place of few well-de-
fined trades. Many of these occupa-
tiOns consist Of single simple opera
tion. Production on a large scale has
destroyed the personal relation be-
tween employer and employe, between
master and apprentice. A young work
er may spend his life pulling a lever
on one kind Of machine and never
know anything of the other processes
in the factory. Employers are unwill-
ing to take apprentices, journeymen are
unwilling to instruct them, and ambi-
tious boys are unwilling to become ap-
prentices. The bureau believes that
even under modern complex conditions,
the old-fashioned apprenticeship would
be very useful. 1t is grave question
how the foreman, the superintendent,
the master workman of the future are
to be made out Of the boy of to-day.

Way of Philanthropy.

A lady who was recently appointed
visitor to hospital for children.
fearing that poor children failed to re-
ceive the same attention bestowed ON
those Of richer parents, paid her first
visit to the institution, Intending to
effect a change. In a ward she found
tiny boy quite alone He informed
her that there was another boy in the
ward, but that he was being examined
before a clinic. The lady looked
around her for evidence of neglect
on the part of the attendants. A suit
of clothes lay huddled on chair. Fold
ing them in an orderly manner, she
said:
Surely, my dear, these trousers are
too long for you by several inches"
Yes, ma'am," replied the boy.
"A sin and shame" cried she. and
took a companion" from her bag. She
sat down and cut off the legs Of the
garment and hemmed the edges.
Now" she said, triumphantly. when
the task was complete, they will fit
you better"
'The other boys taller than me-" re-.
piled the child. "They belong to him."

The old "be good and you'll be hap
py'' formula is rather unpopular. 1t
contained an element of truth, but
only an element. In actual life the vir-
tuous do not always triumph nor the
wicked invariably come to grief. New
ertheless, the virtuous mans chances
of happiness are much brighter than
those of the mean, small selfish,
vicious man. Similarly, while it is i'm
possible to lay down maxims for GER
tain success in business, such maxims,
embodying the experience of ages, have
their value. To say that the man who
Is honest punctual, prompt, careful,
courteous will necessarily make for
tune would be the height of folly; but
certainly the business man who DOS
sesses these qualities is far more likely
to prosper than he who lacks them.
In an interesting article in the Sunday
Magazine of the Chicago Record Her.
aid ex-Secretary Lyman ]. Gage dis
cusses philosophically the value Of
business maXims, the proper qualifica-
ton they require in attempts to apply
them to individual cases, and the val
ue of that subtle but important addi-
tional factor, personality" His OBJ
servations are as sound as they are
inspiriting. Attractive personality is, of
course, primarily natural blessing.
But, as Mr.. Gage we'll says, it would
be radical error to take a fatalistic
view Of character and personality and
assume that business men, like poets
and actors, are born, not made" We
can do much to shape and modify our
respective personalities. In Mr.. Cages
words, "the mental faculties can be
strengthened by exercise, the moral
sympathies quickened by right reflec-
ton, the emotional nature purified by
good ideals, the energies aroused by
effective appeals to ambition" All
moral education presupposes the DOS
sibility of improving and elevating per-
sonality, of repressng bad traits and
tendencies and Strengthening favorable
ones. wise Is he, therefore," to quote
Mr.. Gage again, "who avails himself
of every means he can discover to de-
velop the good and useful inward
forces and powers" which he has in
herited. And happily such means are
at hand everywhere, and all of us,
regardless of station or condition, are
able to use them. They consist of good
associations, good reading, the pur-
suit of knowledge, healthy exercise
cultivation of the sense of human dig
nifty and worth. With our free schools
free libraries, cheap books and maga-
zines and newspapers, with our art
museums, our settlements and various
educational and cultural associations,
no young man or woman need be de-
prived of the influences that make for
character and success in moral, hui
man sense

1t often happens that farmer has
much difficulty in weaving calf and
the longer the baby cow is permitted to
draw its subsistence from the maternal
fountain the greater the difficulty be-
comes and the more pathetic Is the
spectacle presented. So it is with hu-
man beings who are compelled to sur
render any special privilege in the en-
5oyment OF which they have been unin-
terrupted for long time. They lose
the capacity to distinguish between a
privilege and vested right and they
set up whine In which grief and in
dignation are so mixed as to make a
tear-pumping blend.

Report that He Must Soon Raise the
White Flag in Lies Battle.
The report that Admiral Bob Evans
Is about to retire from the navy be-
cause of i'll health has sent throb OF
sympathy and regret through the coun-
try. Scores of kilograms and even ca
Diagrams have been received at the
navy department asking as to the truth
of the report, and expressing high re-
gard for Fighting Bob"
Robley Dunlingson was the name
given him at his birth, Aug. IS, 1916,
over 60 years ago. But he is Fighting
Bob" to the American people.
He is born fighter. At 6 he was
handling gun. At 13 he was on his
way across the western plains to ac-
quire residence at Salt Lake City.
He had been promised an appointment
to Annapolis If he became resident
of the Utah city.
On the way the emlgrant train was
attacked by Indians. bob" was
warned to stay under cover when the
fight began. When the Indians had
been beaten back an arrow pinning
Bob's right leg to the mule he rode
showed how he had obeyed the order
He had been In the thickest of the me-
lee. The arrow had to be cut between
his leg and the pony's side before he
could dismount.
When the Civil War broke out young
Evans then at Annapolis, had a heart
racking problem to decide. His mother
was an ardent secessionist. His broth
er did not hesitate but donned the
gray. But Bob decided to cast his lot
with the ones who had educated him,
although his mother sent his resigna-
tion to the Federal government.
His fighting spirit was vividly illus
trated In the assault on Ft. Fisher,
January, 1865. Twice he was wound
ed and fought on. A third bullet
pierced his knee and he fell helpless
sharpshooter kept pegging away at
him. A bullet tore Off of his toes.
The Ire of the wounded man was
aroused, and grabbing his own rife, he
shot his enemy dead.
1t was we'll for Evans after that
battle that he had strenuous spirit.
When he was taken to the hospital 1t
was decided that both his legs must
be amputated. Bob heard the decision

and that night armed himself with a
revolver, which he hid under his pill
low.
Next day when physicians broke
their views to him the wounded youth
pulled the gun. you will never take
off my legs while l have bullet left"
was his ultimatum. They didn't think
then that it was absolutely necessary.
