His Fears Realized,

Tor years the old country couple had
looked forward to spending a holiday
in London. and one day they found
themselves in the very busiest part Of
the city. Together they stood watch
ing the traffic, to which there seemed
no end. They did not know how to
cross the street.
"Whatcver You do Liza, don't git
separated from me-" said the old man
to his wife. land, whatever YOU do,
don't cross the road without me-
Then a kindly constable came along
and. seeing the old woman hesitating,
took her by the arm and commenced to
pilot her to the opposite side.

old man in alarm, Il allus told 'er that
some one wud take a fancy to 'er. but

10 Pack Plants For Shippinq.

A large shipper Of tender greenhouse
plants gives directions in Rural New
Yorker which would apply equally we'll
to packing vegetables and fruit plants.
This grower says:
believe the best packing for nearly
all weather conditions to be as follows:
Wrap plants in separate packages Of
from five to twenty-five plants, accord
Ing to size or to make a package that
Shall be not more than two inches
through. A little soil should be left on
the roots but even if the plant is from
TWO inch pot It is not necessary or
desirable that it should all be left on.
One-half or more should be shaken off.
Inc bunch of roots and soil should
now be we'll covered with moist sphAg-
mum moss, which must be wrapped in
oiieo or waxed paper covering the en-
TIRE plant. Packages so wrapped
should be packed tightly in layers. a
row Of roots at each end Of a box, with
tops to the center and overlapping.
Layer after layer may be packed in
one boX, provided they are 50 tight
tnat they cannot move, and any space
III the center or top must be packed
1uil and tight with excelsior to avoid
any possible movement Of the plants.
Many packers use sticks nailed cross
wise OF the box to hold plants in
place, but they often cause serious
damage to plants 50 packed The wax
paper Is Of great Importance not only
u keep the moss and soil moist. but to
prevent moisture reaching the tops
~ cause heat and decay. Tops must
oe dry when packed, and the wax
paper Will keep them so. even though
tne moss and roots be quite wet. ANY
u,ner paper coming in contact with
'ne wet moss would act as a sponge
"nu would wet the entire package.
",'st plants SO packed will be suffi-
gently separated by the paper to pre-
vent heating, but if the tops are very
.eaVy thin layer Of excelsior be-
tween each layer Of plants will be Of
s.eat service. Have your box nicely
nailed up.

Some Splendid Advice Given

A COMPARISON is MADE.
CONTEST BETWEEN THE SAVER
AND THE SPENDER-THE LAT
TER CARRIES THE BURDEN FOR
THE FORMER.

/ Volumes have been written, Sermon
have been preached, and even song
have been sung from time immemo
rial regarding the different classes in
to which the human race is divided
but after all there are only two class
es between whom there is a real anG
distinct dividing line; the spenders an>
/ the savers.
| The man who never has a dollar laiG
away for the proverbial rainy day
or in readiness for opportunity
knock" is a slave. He cannot hell
being a slave, for he is in constant per
il of falling under the bondage of those
others who have money.
The first step toward freedom and in
dependence is economy. Economy
means the avoidances OF all extrava
gance and the application of money to
the best advantage. The starting
point of economy is the first nickel
dime or dollar that is saved as nu-
cleus around which the whole future
may be built
The trouble with most men is that
they are not willing to climb the road
to wealth, by industry. temperance, frl-
gaTity and honesty. but spend all their
time looking for the royal road that
will enable them to attain the desired
goal without sacrifice or effort on their
own part Consequently, they go
through life dragging after them load
of debt and obligations that cripples
their independence and makes of them
servile, grinding creatures who cannot
stand up boldly and look the world in
the face. because they have not dol
lar in their pockets and the independ-
ence that goes with it.
Let us look back for ten years over
the life of the "spender." How easily
he could have saved a dollar each week
without depriving himself of one sin
gle comfort or pleasure. Had he done
so, his bank account would now
amount to $500 plus the interest. No
matter how small the income, a por
ton of it should be religiously saved.
To the "spender" / say: Begin now,
today: at once purchase independence
and shake off the yoke of slavery by
starting a bank account. If you can
not spare five dollars start i'll with one
dollar. If you cannot spare a whole
dollar begin it with ten cents and be
know how good it feels to have a real
bank account.
