Water Shade Trees.

How many people neglect to water
their shade trees and flower beds?
The editor of this department knows
Texas man who is still gathering
fresh roses from his bushes, when all
his neighbors, in fact, most of the resi-
dents of his town, can only point to
their withered, parched bushes and
trees. This man, on the hottest day
of the year, had his home grown flow
ers on the table, and they were al
most as fresh as flowers would look
in early summer. He simply waters
his trees and flowers; waters them
right, and they return him, for his
service, beauty of bloom.

, layed until just after their Towering
season, Deutzia, spirea, forsythia and
many other popular shurbs are OF this
character Soon after their Towering
season is over they begin to develop
buds for the next year.
Shrubs needing heavy trimming
should be pruned in early winter.
This will result in larger blooms on
the remaining buds. Such plants as
the hydrangea and the clematis,
which make their Towering buds on
shoots grown the same year, should
be pruned heavily while dormant, as
this will give greater profusion OF
shoots on which to develop new buds.
When pruning hardy deciduous flow
ering shrubs all deadwood should be cut
out, struggling branches either short
ened or removed and all suckers aris-
ing from the roots should be de-
stroyed. Where shrubs are planted
in clumps branches should be cut out.
1t is good idea to cover the wounds
with white lead or grating wax, as
If stub is left uncovered the healing
of the wound will be left until the stub
is rooted out and the rotting stub will
be lodging place for bacteria and
| fungus. Cut the branch off clean and
close to the main stem, avoiding any
| stub, and cover the wound with graft

Unique Relationship of Potato.

An authority tells us that the pota-
ship. Tobacco, tomatoes, eggplant
and peppers belong to the family.
Probably that is why the potato bug
is SO often destructive to these crops.
1t is asked: How can potato grow
other potato vines from the eyes,
since 1t is not root, fruit or seed?
That Is answered by way of illustra-
tion: A stem of almost any plant
will produce another plant from the
place where the leaves come out on
it. If one will break off a piece of
rose bush and plant 1t in favorable
place 1t will produce another rose
bush, just as potato will produce an
other vine

LOST: AN oLD-FAsHloNEo MOTHER.
(By Francis Gilbreath Ingersoll)
Please help in the search for a mother
that's lost;
She isn't a bit like the mothers you
know;
She's "old-fashioned' and "odd" as
can be.
There's shining white line where the
silvering hair
Ripples softly away at each side;
two,
Where baby hands nestle and hide.
A warm "cuddly" place close up under
her chin,
Just right for wee downy head;
croons low song
That "angels may guard its white
bed"
Two coistered white breasts, where
sweet secrets are barred
Alone to babys hungry cry;
Held willing, captive to rose-scented
lips,
Till released with tremulous sigh.
She is simple of speech; only learned in
the way
To mother, like Mary, child
To keep her heart pure, and to write on
youths page
The wisdom of heaven undefiled.
If you only could bring back the mother
that's lost,
For babies are pining each day
To be cuddled and kissed, and rocked in
her arms;
And mothered the old-fashioned way

inventor who might turn his face to
the wall to die saying of the tardy

py-others can get rich"
Goodyear's efforts to introduce the
use of vulcanized rubber were no
more tragic than the stories of doz-
en- other inventors. There was man
named Simpson in Missouri who dis
covered that gutta percha was a non
conductor of electricity.
He borrowed money of one Amos
Kendall to make his application for
a patent. 1t was rejected over and
over, rich companies fighting his
claim. But he had "sand )" he nev-
er weakened. 1t was just after the
civil war that he made his last fight.
He had no money-not dollar-but
he started from St. Louis for Wash
ington afoot.
He would not beg, but made his
way half across the continent by saw
ing wood, hoeing corn or doing any
work that came to hand. In one
place he robbed scarecrow of pair
of pants and a hat, leaving his own
more ragged garments in their place.
In Pittsburg he had to work as a
truck driver till he could earn enough
to repair his shoes and take him on
his way. And all the time he believed
stubbornly in himself and in his in
vention. His own words were:
"When came over the tops of the
Alleghanies 1 saw the sun rising, and
l knelt down and thanked God fol
my life and asked him to let me get
my patent. He promised me on the
spot and 1 never had a moments
doubt after that"
Arriving in Washington, he got
living as day laborer on the stone
foundation of the Patent Office and
from that vantage ground he fought
his claim through the Office and tbs
courts and got his patent. The
Western Union Telegraph Company
gave him $1oo, ,ooodown for the privi
lege of using it.-Exchamge.

TRIED TO BIZ NICE.

"When Fannie is bent upon pleas
ing," sighed Fannie's younger sister,
"she can certainly make horrible
mess of things. Last Sunday Charlie
Evans, having arrived at the point
where he felt he wanted his family's
opinion of me, invited us both up to
take tea with his mother. The min
ute I laid eyes on bis mother / knew
Fannie would get in trouble-she SIM
ply can't help getting nervously fool
ish when there's a religious person
around.
"Charlie's mother kissed us and,
addressing herself to Fannie as the
elder, said something about our being
very sweet to come and see daugh-
terless old woman. Whereat Fannie
looked at Charlie and his two broth
ers and replied feelingly that it must
be terrible disappointment to have
only them. Mrs. Evans, to rectify
my sisters misapprehension, told us
proudly that she had three more sons,
not present.
"By this time Fannie realized that
she had made bad beginning and
leaped further in with the supposition
that the other three were off having a
good time instead of moping at home.
The older lady drew herself up and
said severely:
"'My three sons are in heaven,
Miss Barnes
"'Oh, how awful 7 came Fannie's
ready gasp.
"'No, not awful at all / and Mrs.
Evans was positively glaring at us.
4 feel that they were specially blessed
in being allowed to pass thus early to
their Lord. They died as little chill
dreu.'
"'Dear me, how glad you must
have been 7 blurted out fustered
Fannie.
"By this time 1 had kicked hole
in her ankle, and that quieted her
for a while. She might have kept
still for the rest of the evening had
not her pet subject, the higher educa-
tion of woman, come up for the old
lady's disapproval. Then Fannie
made handspring into the conver-
sation by remarking that when we
had more educated mothers there
would be less infant mortality.
"And, mind you. Fannie was really
trying to be nice for my sake. '-NeW
