The Garden God
By E. G. BUCKERInGE.

BY Il. q. BUCKERIDGE.
RLAcKENED and stained and
- leaden,
with the gold of the sun at your
feet,
You watch the roses redden.
You watch the Summer fleet
In rain OF petals shaken
AS the South wind dreams and
mods,
A god by the years forsaken
IN the twilight Of the gods.
Where the roses redden and riot,
And the sunfower burns In the
sun,
You dream in the dreaming quiet
VI the years that are over and
done,
or the affairs darkened and broken.
ana The temple ways untrod,
And the worship and prayers unspoken
Ihat should so UP to a god.
Yet here In the sun-lit garden.
AS the gold Moons rift and wane.
The years have wrought their pardon,
And crown you god again:
here, from the sin and passion
or the faith OF men long past,
fou come IN a sweeter fashion
To purer faith at last.
From the dust of a dead saItb
stricken,
BY the chance of the changing
hours.
You come as the new years quicken
10 be the god OF the flowers.

ANA the Incense sweet and rare.

AND the roses twlne In PRAYER.

WYE have our little romances III
M Bibberly just as we have every
w thing else that is of benefit to an
enlightened and progressive community
There was last Spring. for instance. 1
don't know whether you would consider
the case of young Rogers and Dorothea
Sproat a romance exactly, but It was a
romantic incident at least.
The engagement was surmised nearly
three years ago and formally announced
a year ago last November; the wedding
was to be in June. Rogers gave his boy
q couple of lots in the subdivision and
told him that he would foot the bills
for neat little house, 80 everything
looked lovely and everybody was happy
except perhaps half a dozen OF so young
fellows who had been calling at the
Sproat house good deal at one time
or another.
Jerry Smith, our local builder, took the
contract for the house. He was to have
It all completed by the first of May, but
he decided that there would be plenty OF
time II he began It in the Spring. So
on fine days that Fall and through the
Winter and Spring until along toward
the end OF March the young people used
to stroll out to the site Of their future
home and there, sitting on a convenient
stump, unroll blueprints and discuss
them, and have a dickens OF a good
time generally planning things.
The Fine Butternut Tree.
1t was a source OF some regret to
them both that particularly fine butter
nut tree that had grown in the middle
of the lot would have to be sacrificed.
There were two or three other trees, but
they were rather spindly and straggly
in comparison; still there was a chance
that the butternut would bear trans
planting to one side, out of the way, and
they took comfort In that.
One day Jerry Smith met young
Rogers coming from the station and
stopped him. I'm going to have 'em

SHE WILL NOT DO IT.

TEAR MISS FAIRFAX: +,
While on trip through the West
/ met young lady OF twenty with
whom had an opportunity OF only an
hours conversation.
Since my return home / receive three
10 four letters week from her telling
me how much she loves me and how
much she wants to see me again.
j answered her letters, but very for
mally, and told her there was abso-
lutely no. chance of my ever going
West again.
Now she writes and threatens to
leave home and come on to New York
to see me. s. G. h.
I DO not think there is any fear of her
coming East. The journey Is long
and expensive one. Girls sometimes take
fancies OF that kind into their heads. She
will get over 1t. and the best thing for
you to do is pay no attention to her

temper that gives US our Harry Thaws.
Why Boys Become Criminals.
1t Is because boys are not taught self
control that they become drunkards and
which they are born degenerates. Lit
orally, every boy OF decent parentage
could have been saved from the fate of
the drunkard. or the murderer, by his
parents, and that Is what Warden Flynn
meant when he said that the prisons are
fun of people who would not be there II
they had had the proper bringing up.
All OF this 10 Just as true OF girls as II
is of boys.
II you are bringing up a girl to be idle'
selfish and vain, II you are pampering her
love of luxury and teaching her to be-
lleve that the chief object In the life or
woman Is to fiaunt herself In public
places In expensive clothes, you are max
ing a potential criminal OF her.
You may be able to give her enough.
money to crafty the tastes you have In
culcated In her, or she may have the luck
to marry a man who can; but IL the
money should fail the chances are that
she will get the luxurles that are a neces-
sity 10 her any way she can.
The most pathetic thing about the for
lorn sisterhood of the street IL that they
have bartered everything that makes life
worth having for few rags of chiffon
and gewgaws. And this vanity, this over
