The Lure of the Garden.

The lure of the garden will soon
entrance those to whom the voice Of
spring calls with a power that can
not be resisted. One has many
times put away the most enticing
seedcatalogs without looking inside
their covers for fear of being led
into buying the tempting array of
Largest tomatoes" "everbearing
peas" self supporting lima beans,
and all season spinach"
If one can escape the charm of
the succulent vegetable one is at.
tackled by the irresistible desire to
buy the seed of the orchid sweet peas
marvellous giant pansies, and moon.
vines that grow to the moon in TWEEN
ty-eight days after planting.
But it is no use to put the cata-
logs away, because the wind will whis
per to you that it is sad because
there are no pansies growing in your
garden. The glad face of the sun
will be Swallowed because there are
no sweet peas for it to color. The
moon will sigh and look pale and say
How can l send moonlight to mortals
if you plant no moonvines for the
beams to come down to earth by?"
And then you begin to weaken, be-
cause without moonlight where would
young men and maidens find inspira-
ton for loving each other, and the
mornings would be lonely without the
welcome Of dewy pansy-faces. Then
you are lost-the lure of the garden
has won you. And in remOrse for
having tried to escape the sweet pain
Of planting seeds to see them sprout,
and come up tender and green, and
then faint and fade and die in the
Western Kansas winds, you fling your
husbands hard earned shekels into
the lap Of the scotsman.
Then you have a perfect orgy of
happiness, digging, ,raking, smelling
the Odors of burning leaves and the
fragrances Of our mother earth, and
hearing the soft whisper OF the winds
Of spring promising fair bloom for
summer. 1t is no use philOSophizing
about the failures or counting the
cost with those who love the out of
doors. The earth calls and they must
answer.-Kinsley Graphic.

Women Students BRIGHTER Than Mer

The list of failures or "flunks' in
the College of Liberal Arts at the
University of Kansas has turned the
Dean and heads of departments into
human question marks. The surpriS-
ing fact is that among the members
of the freshmen class who techni-
cally severed their connection with
the University by failing in more than
one third of their work, there are
five times as many men as women,
though the class is made up about
equally Of men and women. This fact
gives rise to the questions. Are the
women better students than the men?
Are the courses for the women easier
Than those for the men? Are the
men lazier than the women? Are
outside attractions stronger for the
men than the women?" Nearly all
Of the freshmen who have failed in
more than One-third of their work
have been allowed six weeks of grace
in which to show their ability to do
better.
