THE MAKING OF GARDEN wALks

4IlE MAhI4NQa VI Q1AIGO1A4N w AlANlo
Even in a smah garden, the laying
out of the walks is delightful task.
1t cuts the Enclosure even more
tellingly than the laying down of
rugs within doors; it divides sweets
that may be neighbors from sweets
that may not; the introduction of
little threads of paths will harmo-
nize vagrant colors as can no other
device. And this is a plea for walks
of grass. 1t is true that gravel
walks give a sense Of neatness and
trimness; it is true that the strip of
cool white gravel is an institution
as honorable as the stars; but if you
have ever been in an old-fashioned
garden and stepped along between
understanding wildernesses, with
wide walks of thick grass between
the beds, then you know that the
gravel walk is useful for nursery
men, but charming for robody.
Particularly in naturalistic garden
ing-as If gardening can ever be any
thing else-grass walks are indis-
pensable. And why not let the lawn
extend to the border beds? OF
course, narrow gravel strips may
edge the border beds when they do
not mar the general effect of the
lawn, but especially in small gar
dens these should be omitted. Do
you not remember the old pictures
Of the castle gardens where prin-
cesses walk all day?-From How
to Make Garden" by iona Gale

MULCH IS USEFUL.

"A mulch in the spring is useful
for several reasons. 1t keeps the
ground from drying out and baking
in the surface, which results in harm
to the young and tender root sys-
TEN. A more equable temperature
is secured. This is a point which
does not receive as much attention
as it should. A warm sun will raise
the temperature Of the bare ground
several degrees during the day, only
to be cooled off at night. Such
changes are not good for tender
plants. A straw mulch will also
keep down weeds. Weekly Witness.

PAYING BY CHECK IN ENGLAND.
The Kind of References Required to
open a Bank Account in That
Counfrv

SONiiII y
'I like the American custom of car
rying money loose in the pocket" said
d. H. Lieban, a retired banker of Lon
DON In England gentlemen and bust
ness men carry very little money with
them. Nearly everything is paid for by
check, except, of course, money enough
to pay the small incidental expenses
of a day,
IF a man goes into store to buy a
hat he does not pay money for it but
gives a check. If he is dining at a pub
lie place he very likely pays for his
meal with a check. TIE system Of cred
it in England is different from that in
TINS country, and the mere fact that a
man has an account in a bank serves
to give him standing
zone cannot open an account with a
bank in England merely by carrying
money to the bank and depositing it.
He must have two first class refe.-
ences before a bank will accept his
account, and when reference is given
it means that the person giving it
would endorse or stand for the person
to whom it is given.
"a reference in England means
more than a mere phrase Checks on
banks in England cannot be obtained
for the mere asking, and a man must
have an account in order to get checks
from any bank. They cannot be picked
up on bank counters or in public
places,
Private accounts in English banks
are not accepted unless they are paid
for, the general charge being 91O a
year. There are one or two banks in
England which discriminate so care
fully in the accounts they accept that
when a person is fortunate enough to
be permitted to open an account with
them he can get credit in any city in
England or the continent of Europe"

FERTILITY OF WOOD ASHES.

All farmers know that wood ashes
are valuable as fertilizers. But that
value, as many know, is due very
much to the material from which the
ashes come, Thus, ashes made from
hard wood are more valuable thhn
those from soft wood. In fact, some
ashes from soft wood have not
enough value to make it worth while
to bother with them. 1t has also
been found that the value is largely
governed by the part of the tree from
which the ashes are made. It is
declared by chemists that the ashes
of young twigs is of more value than
the ash of the trunk of the tree, while
the ash of the leaves is still moro

ABE ATTELL AND
WEEKS TO FIGHT
AT GOLDFIELD

In telegram to Tex Richard We'd
nesday, Abe Attell, featherweight
champion of the yorld, now at New
Orleans, where he As to fight a Sec
ond-rater, says that Richards terms
for match with Freddie Weeks are
accepted, and that everything is all
o. K. Attell further says that he will
wire today as to what route he ex-
poets to take for Goldfield, Richard
having guaranteed him, in addition
to $4,000, win. lose or draw, railroad
tickets to Goldfield for two.
The entire sporting fraternity OF
Nevada and the west is already on
the qui vive over the coming event,
scheduled for the night of January
IA. BY wire yesterday, practically
200 ringside tickets at $40 each were
reserved, while fully 200 more We're
engaged by Goldfield people at the
price named This indicates that the
house will be sold out week or ten
days before the big event is pulled
off. The title of featherweight cham
pion of the world will be at stake,
and the event will equal, if it does
not exceed in importance, the famous
Nelson-Gans contest of two years ago,
when the entire country had its at
tention rivited on Goldfeld. This
camp secured a tremendous impetus
from that mill; in fact, the advertis-
ing growing out of the contest and
bestowed upon the Goldfield district,
could never be measured by dollars
and cents.

one of the biggest boosts ever given

Ben Rosenthal yesterday. my faith
in Goldfield has never for moment
wavered. and l am as confident of
the future as | am that | will live

fight of the biggest men in their class,

test is red-hot from start to finish,

Arthur Douglas, the champion oil
South Africa and Australia, will be
deeply interested"
Tex Richard announced last even
ing that he would probably secure the
Athletic club building, as it seats a
few hundred more than even the
Hippodrome theater. Every avail
able seat will be in demand. The
prices will be $40 for ringside seats,
and the others SIS and So each. The
demand for the former high-priced
chairs shows how hungry the public
is for real live pugilistic event. Mr..
Richard will put down $1,000 in gold
as license for this fight. The COM
plimentary list will be limited to per-
haps fifteen or twenty, altogether.
1t was Richard who promoted the
Gans-Nelson go, and he said last
evening that he expected this feather
weight contest to easily approach the
former in importance, both to Gold
field as a producer and a live camp,
and to the sporting world in general.
During the big fight of two years ago
the Boston Post streamed across the
top of it's first page, Twenty Million
Eyes on Goldfield.,.' Tickers in all
the New York, Chicago and Boston
offices were filled with the details of
the bout, and brokers found their
apartments the next morning literally
buried with dope on the tape. Thirty
thousand people choked the streets of
Denver during the fight, and enthusi-
asm and betting were always at high
pitch.
In all probability the Pacific coast
will send a large delegation of pugi-
listic fans to Goldfield for the fight,
to say nothing of great crowds from
Reno, Carson, Tonopah, Rhyolite,
Butte, Salt Lake City, Denver, and
even Cripple Creek, from which last
named city Freddie Weeks halls, and
where his stock is always above par.
