trees in groves amid agricultural re-

They by their foliage absorb hurtful
gases, which would otherwise be
breathed by the inhabitants of the
densely populated cities. thereby mod

The time for the production of ashes
is at hand Now the wood ashes
should not be thrown out in the back

place just to get rid of them. In

1--WE had some dreadful dreams in
my lifetime" said Lucinda, but never
any half so dreadful as one | had last
night. | shall be miserable till ! know
whether it's coming true"
OF course everybody wanted to know
what the dreadful dream was, and Lu-
cinda continued:
why, | dreamed my coat was ruin
ed"
Chorus of commiserating groans at
this.
1t seems that Lucinda has lately
bought new suit. and the coat didn't
fit her exactly, and so she took il back
to have it filed. and it isn't to come
home till next Wednesday, and last
night she dreamed that 1t had come
home and that it was worse than it
was before-that they had made a
mess of it and the coat was ruined.
Now. isn't that a dreadful dream7
Truly? Why, If Lucinda had dreamed
that she had fallen from the top of a
tall mountain or been dropped from
flying machine or something like that,
then she would have walked up the
minute she began to fail and SO have
known right away that everything was
all right. but as it is she's got to wait
TIL next Wednesday 10 know If that
dreadful dream is coming true.-New

There Is sad look about her ewes. as

shall not expect her to do much work"
They disputed for half an hour over
the point, and next day Miss Rose
was given the hall between the office
rooms of the partners. 1t was a
gloomy, contracted space. but she
made no complaints Each partner
had made excuses to address her half
a dozen times when it came half past
II O'Clock. Then Klein passed into the
room of the other and said:
You seem to have lots of business
with the new girl this morning. If you
are not more careful she will become

The junior partner was not at all
satisfied with the situation. He had

! known to be a masher. didn't do the
same. There he had met his par, uer

Wronging him the partner wronged
Miss Rose, and he called her in and
dictated a fictitious letter and added:

was never SO well done before, ard I

has been advanced to So per week"
Miss Williams came to her place on
Wednesday. On Saturday afternoon
there was a half holiday. On Satur-
day afternoon also Mr.. Klein met Mr.

stenOgrapher lived. Each was saun-

They came to dead stop and glared
and scowled. Each wanted to ask the
other what lie was doing there. but he
didn't ask Klein finally took Kip

and headed for the city he said:
