Practical Nature of the Swiss Shown
In Their Gardens-Cow Houses
Built Over Springs.

The Swiss gardens are a quaint
combination of the artistic and prac'
teal. writes F. Harris Deans in the
Wide World A row of geraniums
will be followed by line Of red cab
bages: lettuce and lilies grow in per-
feet harmony side by side; archways
are covered with scarlet runners. The
effect. however, is quite pleasing.
In many cases, too, the farmers take
advantage of the numerous springs on
the mountainside and build their COW
houses over them, thus ensuring a
constant supply of water running
through the cow house. I observed
this for the first time one day imme-
diately after having quenched my
thirst at a sparkling spring. felt a
horrible doubt that all was not clear
that sparkled. 1t was a hot day, but
I felt quite cool as / retraced my steps
and tracked that spring to its source.
was relieved to find that the farmer
who owned that particular spring
didn't keep cows; / should have be-
come a vegetarian if he had. After
that I found lukewarm water from a
Gasthaus more refreshing. What the
eve doesn't see the stomach doesn't
grieve about.

Third floor, back answered the
floor walker, glibly.
He wandered to the place to which
he had been directed, and on rounding

midst Of more detached human hair
than he had ever seen before. He
was bewildered for a few seconds,
then remembered that the floor walk
er must have known whereof he spoke,
and replying to question from a
young salesgirl with a lot of blond
hair, he timidly told her what he
wanted.
In less than two minutes he was
again bewildered by an avalanche of
artificial hair goods-puffs, coronets,
switches, and lot of other things he
had never heard Of.

The salesgirl explained that the
floor walker had evidently misunder-

told him to go to the northwest corner.

himself in a maze Of hand and ma

which soon surrounded him in another

suggestion for New Holiday.

Texas has an "onion day" Com
menting on its observation, a New
Yorker said to a Galveston merchant:
"The Lone Star state has the better
of the Empire state, for we have no
vegetable or flower to which we do
fearful homage as you do to the frag-
rant onion. The fact is, we are open
to suggestions as to a new holiday.
The latest proposition in that line was
moving day. Now, don't misunder-
stand the term. Those who move will
not celebrate; they will just move and
experience all the joys pertaining to
that heart and Misunderstanding func-
tion. Those who will celebrate will be
the people who can look on."-New

Don rracked Master,s Murrersr.

With five wounds in the throat the
body of a farmer recently was found
on Brittany (F'rance) high road. His
dog was by the body when the police
arrived. Thinking that the dog might
provide a clue to the murderer, the
police determined to follow 1t. The
dog found its way to hamlet called
Tavern, and entered into the cottage
of road-mender. On searching the
place, clothes with bloodstains upon
them were found and ultimately the
roadmender's son confessed to the
crime. He said his motive was re,
venge.

From the Union Fuel Company"
he answered.
The cheerful consumptive snapped
his fingers.
"Stuff's off," he said. "You might
get it from the Fresh Air Fund or
Uncle Abdul of Turkey, but not the
coal trust"
1--WE shall get it from the Union
Fuel company" said Mason. "Mr.
Parks, have Pietro call carriage,
and come with us"
The young man arose, waved his
right arm in a great gesture of as
sent.
"All right, Governor" he said;
"have it your own way; but when you
wake up don't take it out on me-"
Then he cooked his hat on one side
OF his head and followed out to the
carriage behind Randolph Mason.
The offices of the Union Fuel Com
pany are at the foot of Broadway, an
entire floor, reached by great semi
circle of elevators, banging, rafting,
clicking, in their amphitheater of
cages. The business carried on here
is of necessity stupendous. It has to
dc with modifying the temperature
of the whole country. The forces, too.
that labor everywhere under a mans
fingers, are sold here, stored in a
block of carbon. The companies
housed under this roof, and the rival
ones occupying as great a building
across Broadway, practically own
the available coal beds of America,
the virgin sources of all the energy
used commonly by man, from the fire
cooking his egg to the fire driving his
steamship. That there should be two
well-defined groups of such companies
thus in rivalry, standing like duelists
with the street between them, arises
from the fact that there are two great
railroad systems, as yet uncombined,
leading into the storehouses Of Amer
ica's coal, each railroad greater in
its authority than an empire, having
its retinue of operating companies at
tached like feudal dependencies.
bound to the overload under penalty
of ruin, and coming and going at its
beck like the servants of the cen
turion. The two buildings are thus
packed with the chief Offices OF Goa,
companies having mines on the thor
oughfare of these roads. Any one of
these companies would find an alert
rival across the street.
It was quite an hour before we got
into the office of Andrew Flint, the
president of the Union Fuel Company,

companies In tho combine. He was a
man nlaxnetized by the rubbing of
gold coins; he seemed to point con-
stantly to the financial North: no
matter how the needle were flung, it
swung finally back there. The very
physical type of the man was metallic.
He was thin and sharp, with iron
hair. eyes blue like the points of a
drill, and a manner as of constant
clicking. He had abridged the courte-
sizes of life to a formula Of brief con-
ventions: but in the discussion of dol
lare he was almost yoluble, his voice
raced. He waited, seemingly hung on
a string like a suspended pendulum,
while Randolph Mason in a dozen
sentences stated the gist of the I'M
fortunate's story.
Mr.. Flint spoke monosyllable to
a clerk, who brought case of papers
and laid it open on table before him.
For a moment he ran his eyes
through the file.
Correct" he said; your Mr.. Hop
kins owns a life estate in these lands.
We own the remainder. What do
you want?"
II want you to buy the life estate. "
Mr.. Flint looked again at his pa
pers.
1.-THE advice here is against it," he
answered. "This tract is a patch at
taching to the eastern corner of our
field. Our main openings are four
miles west; the coal won't be avail
able to us for ten years. This life
estate may be terminated then. Why
should we buy it now?"
For the very reason that it may

THAT was two years ago. The bugs
haven't knocked off any time, Clark
says, and, unless I can get to the
South Seas, I'm all in.'
Randolph Mason leaned over and
made a little calculation with his
pencil on the corner of the writing
pad
In your condition of health" he
said, 'ten thousand dollars should
easily buy a six per cent annuity.
Could you live in the Marquesas on

The facetious youth made a wide
ludicrous gesture with both arms as
though gathering up a great heap OF
bundles.

an insurance dictatorship, an the

This is not an unreasonable PROPOSE
ton, because, In the present condi-
ton of Mr.. Hopkins's health, it is not
likely that he win live for a longer
period than the farmer at whose
death the estate termi -ates."
The president of the Union Fuel
Company laughed, his voice cackhng
like a spinning cog-wheel.
Really" he said, you amuse me.
An ugly sheer gathered in the cor
ners of Mason's mouth.
You do not amuse me-" he said;
you annoy me-
Mr.. Andrew Flint flushed and turn
ed sharply in his chair.
II believe this conference is ended,
he said
Not quite ended replied Randolph
Mason Listen a moment, II you
please 1t is the law of the State OF
West Virginia that life tenant-that
is, one owning life estate in lands

his life, but must get his living from

wealth beneath his feet to his success

debt, starving, the wealth of the In

It was now Andrew Flint's turn to

A horse dealer In an English town
had lent horse to a solicitor, who
killed the animal through bad usage.
The dealer insisted on payment, and
the lawyer, refusing cash, said he
would give bill for the amount, but
it must be at long date. The law
yer drew a promissory note, making
1t payable on the day of judgment.

Having done so, the sheriff replied:

PROBLEMS OF THE VT. FARMER.

(The following article was written
by A. B. Pike, Jr., of Washing ton, ID.
G., native of Orleans county. The
editor urges it's careful reading by
every farmer.)
For many years past dairying has
heen the chief mainstay of the New
England farmer, and if it did not al
ways yield large profits it at least
afforded a livlihood. But in recent
years conditions have changed and the
profits do not appear to materializa as
easily as in former days.
The West and South are rapidly
coming to the front in the production
of dairy products.
Grain raising was the early type of
agriculture practiced in these sections
and it was not for a long time that
any thought or attention was given to
soil fertility. The land yielded its
harvests bountifully for years. But
there is limit to endurance and
these lands "struck." The income of
the people stopped. Happily the ca
lamity was checked by the dairy COW
and she has proven a blessing ever
since. For example in Iowa and Wis.
