his death.
Dickens great rival, Thackeray,
again, left behind him not one only,
but two unfinished stories. One OF
these, "Denis Duval" promised to
rank with bis best work. Unfortunate
ly. however, he had completed only
seven chapters when he was stricken
down.
Scott. too, left a tale unended--"Tbe
Siege OF Malt" written while he was
on his last futile journey IN search of
health. This work has never been
published, although more than two.

A Nice Little Orange Grove.

Six years ago J. d. Gray bought
about an acre of land. He had it
cleared, fenced and planted to diff
ferent varieties OF citrus fruits, set
ting his trees about fifteen feet apart.
The cost OF the place planted was
1915; six years care, not exceeding
500 per year, for labor, fertilizer and
all expenses, $500; total cost at end
Of six years, 1915. Last years crop
netted him S226 scattered fruit pre-
vious years, $74; total income, $500.
Total cost to him to date, 1916. Last
years crop paid 1923 on S2,26O.
If this acre is $4,000 to-day it has
increased in value each year for the
six years nearly $500 year, or as
much as the ordinary farm hand re-
ceives for whole years labor. The
crop should increase rapidly from

Mrs. Bowser birds fly in all sorts
of weather, don't they?"
yes, unless it be that hurricane is
blowing r
"Of course. The bigger the bird the
stronger he can fly, eh?''
Naturally"
But this ostrfeh-why can't he hy?"
Because nature didn't give him
wings strong enough. He simply uses
them to assist him in running"
But suppose the ostrich could fly?
Suppose he could fly from New York
to Chicago without q rest? Suppose
he could be taught to obey like dog
like a human being?"
I'm such case man could make val
liable use of him as a messenger"
There you have it-there you have
it," shouted Mr.. Bowser as he danced
around in his excitement and frighten-
ed the cat out of the room on a gallop.
There is the solution of the flying
world has thought it out except me.
That's what 1 have been puzzling over
for the last four weeks. That's what's
been ailing me instead of lumbago. Mrs.
Bowser, we are famous-we are richl"
But just what is your plan?" she
asked.
Simply this: The ostrich could fly if
he had the wings to do it. He goes
through all the motions as it is. Make
wings for him. Give him a show. Let
him practice flying until he has got it
down pat. Then teach him what you
want done. If it is to carry a mail
bag to Boston or Philadelphia, all right.
If it is to rise with a 500 pound shell
and seek out a man-of-war belonging
to the enemy and drop it down one of
her tunnels and blow her all to smith
Greens, all right again. He can sail
over a fort and drop she'll or other
explosive. He can sail over a town
and destroy it. He can reach height
that he will not be seen, and the terror
he will spread will be something awful.
Do you you see?"
Mrs. Bowser nodded her head to sig
Nifty that she did, and he continued:
THE japanese insist that country
sausage, such as we find in all our
butcher shops, is made down cellar or
out in the alley, instead of in the coun-
try. We deny the allegation. Relations
between the two countries become
strained. During this critical period
Japan further declares that lamb chops
are really mutton chops. and Is minutes

later, before we have time to call her
liar, she declares war and starts a
fleet for San Francisco. Then what
follows?"
Your flying ostriches come into play"
Exactly. my dear woman. You have
head you. A hundred flying ostriches,
each with five-hundred pound dyna-
mite shell in his claws, starts out to
meet the fleet. The fleet is sighted, the
shells dropped, and Japan isn't heard of
again for the next hundred years. Do
we want anything better? With one
hundred ostriches trained to fly and do
the work we can make all the other ma
tons on the face of the earth shake in
their boots"
What name are you going to give it?"
IT have already selected that. I shall
call 1t. the Bowserplant. That gives you
half the honors. BY thunder, woman,
but we've hit it-we've surely hit it, No
blamed old flying machines for US. but
we simply turn an ostrich loose and tell
him to get there. The world, has been
fooling around over a hundred years to
solve a problem, that we have made clear
but I should like to hear what others
say about it."
