Haines consider his views on the
necessity of political regeneration to
be ridiculous. His optimism could not
be snuffed out, for he was a genuine
believer that the natural tendency OF

Haines turned quickly, just in time
to bump into tall. slender young

the direction of the cafe.
"Well, can't you see what you're do

thiclly.
Haines smiled. The chap who has

to seat to await the expected legis-
lator, whose train was late.
II don't know very much about him

able to discover is that Stevens said
the word which elected him. and that
looks bad. Great glory, when ! think
what senator Of .he right sort has a
chance to do here in Washington-a
nonpartisan, straight out from the

his head in disgust. "You know these
fellows here in the senate don't even
see their chance. Why, If you and l
didn't do any more to hold our Jobs
than they do we'd be fired by wire the

cts a great game, though, Bud"
sighed Cullen longingly, for, like many
newspaper men, he had the secret feel
ing that he was cut out to be a great
politician.
'Sure, it's great game, as game"
agreed Haines. $50 is bridge, and stud

Langdon, for instance. Chosen by Ste

A Wonderful Blackberry.

Although the Planting season for
many fruits is gone, 1t is not too late
to mention a species of blackberry
known as the Logan. 1t is very sue
cessful in England and can be adapted
to some climates in our country. 1t
yields wonderful crops. While the
plants are perfecting their fruits new

canes, somewhat like those of the rasp-
berry, spring from the base. This is
the next seasons fruiting wood and
must be attended to. The Logan berry
makes a very free growth, and winds
soon twist the shoots, which must
hen be supported. After the crop has
)een gathered the old fruiting wood is
ut out, and the new shoots from the
base take its place. The plants fruit
in July and August and do well on n
north wall or high fence or may be
trained to wires or iron hurdles. The
fruits are esteemed for preserving.
Much the same culture is required
where the blackberry is grown in the
garden. The wineberry is an excellent
fruit for preserving or for tarts and is
prolific. II makes strong growth and
requires a similar treatment to the
Logan berry. 1t Is welcome in the
shrubbery or on a fence, and 1t makes
much wood. Other berries such as the
berberis are grown for garnlshing and
generally as bushes in strawberries.
