PLANT TRAMP BY INSTINCT.
California Cactus Blows Around the
Desert for Months.

Curious among vegetable growths
and one which is seldom seen Of men
is the rootless cactus of the California
desert, says the Technical World
This plant, round, compact growth,
rolls about the level floor of the des-
ert for some eight or nine months of
the year, tossed hither and yon by
the winds which blow with fierceness
over all of CALIFORNIA; sand plat DUR
ing those months.
At the coming of the rains. or
rather the cloudbursts, which sweep
the desert in its springtime, this cac-
tus takes root wherever it happens to
have been dropped by the last wind
of which it was the plaything and inn
mediately begins to put out all around
it small shoots. which in turn, become
cacti, exactly like the parent plant.
These young growths increase in
size rapidly, sucking the moisture
both from the parent plant and from
the surrounding earth. The roots do
not penetrate the soil deeply, but
spread often over a circle whose
radius is not less than ten feet. These
roots, too, are small,F but practically
innumerable, and they get every bit
of moisture and plant food to be had
in the territory they cover.

Claim to a Title.

The slang phrase, "a good mixer"
mas a peculiar meaning when applied
TO a man. 1t seems never TO have
Deen used as descriptive of women.
But why not? Some women might
wear the title with distinction, al
though in a little different sense.
For generations women have been en-
gagged in mixing" reluctant elements.
Flour and butter in their hands have
combined into faky biscuit; and I'M
congenial cousins have made up an
agreeable family party. A woman at
the head OF a large household has
need to be a good mixer, says the
Youths Companion. She may have
three generations under her roof and
dependent upon her care. With the
children she must be as a child; with
the grandmother she must see the
wisdom o. age, even beneath its
feebleness; for the willful son she
must mingle ready sympathy and firm
control. Woman's service in village
or church is often that of welding to-

For there must be no Democrats OF
Republicans, no Methodists or Cath

measure for the common good. The
shade trees in a certain village are a
growing memorial to certain woman
who got the Second Adventists and
the Congregationalists together, and
set them in pairs to digging the same
holes, instead of working on oppo-
site sides of the street. She was a
good mixer herself, and. like all OF
that brotherhood, she was the cause
that good mixing should be in others.
In this world of strife and misunder-
standings and petty frictions, the
rarest and dearest of her sex is the

Brief Review of the Happenings of Week Condensed Into
Paragraph for Busy Readers
I've Just Got Back From Kansas.
BY j. B. Dignam.

BY j. B. Dignam.
I've just got back from Kansas
To my home in Illinois,
And the sights l saw in Kansas
Have flfIed my soul with JOY,
For the fields of corn are waving
And the sun is shining bright,
The harvester stands waiting
And the harvest is in sight
I've just got back from Kansas
And here's what l am told,
That Kansas corn for nineteen eight
Will sell for much more gold
Than this whole country will produce
Along its present lines
In gold and silver, both combined,
From it's entire mines.
I've just got back from Kansas
And I'm dead stuck on the state.
Its people are on Easy street;
It's climates simply great;
It's farms are rolling parkways
And the flowers that adorn
The madows and the hillsides
Are Corn--CoFn-Corn.
I've just got back from Kansas
And there's nothing that can hold
Or separate her farmers
From their flood of yellow gold.
She's got more than a-plenty
And Kansans can live high
And blow themselves for years 10
come
And still put something by.
Yes, I've just got back from Kansas,
And the Funny Man can poke
His pieces in the paper
And laugh-and scotland joke
About the Kansas farmer
And the Whiskers that he grows
And the way those Whiskers f1utter
When the Kansas zephyr blows.
But I'd rather live in Kansas
Among her bursting cribs,
Than to live here in Chicago
A-writing funny squibs.
So if any Kansas farmer
Thinks his whiskers don't adorn
His face-why-I will wear them
If he'll divvy up his Corn
