Don't EXPECT Too Much.

Though this is the land Of big
things, of marvellous growth and de-
velopment. even In plant life, we must
not expect to have finished garden
in day. An attractive picture Of a
park or home grounds cannot be built
in a day, week, month or year. Prop
erly to plant--the proper stuff, In
proper place and at proper distance
apart-requires mach knowledge, ex-
perience and study, with not little
ingenuity or genius; also an artistic
taste. Now that We have all of 1t
put down on paper, 1t must appear that
this work should be- done only by one
experienced in the work. The work
in too many gardens is absolutely
meaningless; there is no good reason
why the plants ars placed where they
are. Such places have no character.

Russian duma. revolutionists. anarch-
lists, agents, provocateurs, repentant
spies, revolutionary assassins. famous
authors and publishers.
About 60 years of age, with the en-
thusiasm Of youth, the zeal OF IA
matte and the self-sacriflce Of a mar
tyr. Bourtseff, has served the cause OF
Russian emancipation for years,
though often antagonized by the deri-
sion and criticism OF people who were
equally sincere In their desire for
Russian freedom.
Bourtseff unmarked traitors in the
revolutionary ranks with courage
and fearlessness that Is astounding. He
often risked his all on the accusations
he made against some of the most
trusted members of the revolutionary
parties. He charged Azeff, the head OF
the central committee OF the Social
Revolutionists, with treason, with be-
ing connected with the Russian police;
instead of trying Azeff. the party tried
Bourtseff But Bourteseff finally prov
ed his case. and he went on wedding
out the traitors. big and small. men
and women, young and old
Bourtseff Is sometimes blamed for
the confusion into which the revolu-
tionary examinations have been thrown
by his activities. He has even been
accused OF disorganizlng the revolu'
tionary camp. Since the unmasking
of the arch traitor Azeff. and OF
Zhuchennoko, the Azeff In petticoats.
and many other agents provocateurs,
there has been a feeling Of distrust
and sus picion in all revolutionary cir
c.es, and Russians no longer trust
their friends. brothers no longer trust
brothers, and fathers conceal their
thoughts from their sons.
But Bourtseff believed that most OF
the failures of the Russian revolution
ary efforts to free the Russian people
we're due to the activities of the trail
tors within the ranks OF the revolu'
tionists, Of the provocateurs. who often
stood at the head OF the most I'M
portant groups. planning. organizing
various terroristic plots and then be-
traying their comrades to the police.
Bourtseff may have made some blum
ders-only dead people make no blum
ders-but he fought sincerely and
struggled often alone, and he has sue
ceeded after many hardships and dis
appointments. No Russian has done
az much as Bourtseff to discredit the
Russian autocracy abroad. And he Is
now devoting himself exclusively to
his weekly journal, L'Avenir. In which
he brands effectively the crimes OF the
present regime In Russia And yet.
strange to say, Bourtsef not only Is
not aided by any revolutionary orga'
niZation. but he Is often even hinder
ed I'm his work.

7 Help Y
ALONG THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY
Magnificent Idea Would Be to Plant,
Fruit or Nut Trees on Each
Side Of the Road.

Away back in 1863 the Bavarian
government isued a decree requiring
all land owners to plant fruit trees
along the public highways bordering
their estates, and the work was sys-
Dramatically under way about the mid
die of the last century.
And now 1t is said that Bavaria has
a wealth OF fruit trees, amounting to
something like $170,000,OO0.
Such requirement might impose
something of hardship upon small
estates and farm lands In America,
but one wishes that public sentiment
might have Influenced the establish
ment OF go gracious custom hun
dred years ago, apportioning the bur-
den wherever it belonged. Fancy the
pleasure OF walk or drive along
public highways In the gala spring
time Of the year, with trees just
bursting into poisoning glory! Our
grandfathers and our great-great-
grandfathers failed to leave us the
beautiful and valuable heritage, but it
is never too late for beginning. And
without any consideration Of the prac-
teal end of it, It's feasibility or 9TH
erwise, why could not such move
ment be started in America, just
movement based upon pride rather
than compulsion?
We have our dreams of the coun.
try beautiful and we expect that
sometime We shall have reason to
grow glad and proud Of the wonderful
stretches of land that can hold their
own throughout the world. And in
those dreams nut trees are Just as
riotously abundant as the more
luscious. but not more tempting, fruit

LITTLE TROUBLE WITH TULIPS
These Beautiful Flowers May Easily
Be Made as Successful Hero
az In Holland.

Horticulturists visiting Holland
bring back tales Of how Dutch bulbs"
are grown for the world In the land
reclaimed from the Zuyder Zee. The
soil Is sandy, superb In drainage and
naturally poor, but proper handling has
made 1t a rich one. After reading OF
the Holland methods, the writer has
this year produced tulips that are Sec
ond to none, some being more than
two feet in height and very robust with
large flowers. The method of care 10
herein given In the hope that some
who have given up hope may be able
to grow these beautiful flowers to
satisfying degree of excellence. Many
other lots have been visited that are
very fine, where the care and culture
has been very similar to that followed
by the writer.
The two strong points In growing
good tulips are deep planting and
plenty Of water. TO provide good
drainage "a supposed essentiaD the
writer dug out bed to the depth OF
Is inches. mixing the soil with some
sand and one-fourth horse manure that
contained large per cent OF planning
mill shavings. used for bedding. This
was replaced and trodden down until
within six inches of the surface. Then
a mixture was made OF one-half good
garden loan, One-fourth sand, and one
fourth pulverized sheep manure. The
soil was smoothed on the bottom OF
the bed, one inch of this special soil
placed evenly over the surface, the
tulip bulbs placed uron 1t and the bal.
ance of the special soil placed on top.
After being wettei down 1t was about
six inches from the surface to bottom
of tulip bulbs. A little ridge Of earth
was placed around the bed so that
when given a liberal watering the
water could stand two inches deep be-
fore soaking down. which latter Il did
very rapidly Then three inches OF
fresh stable manure was placed on top
for a mulch and the bed was heavily
watered, when no rain fell twice each
week. The tulips SO produced We're
second to none in local gardens. They
were all singles of the Gesneriana
type. Those in one bed inspected that
were especially fine were placed the
same depth as herein noted, in almost
pure adobe. covered with four inches
Of manure and kept well watered.
Lack of drainage did not seem to az
feet them adversely. To sum up, the
two chief points are deep planting
and heavy watering

elements of the digestive fluids.
Coated tongue, bad breath, heart
burn, belching, fatulency, bloat-all
the symptoms of digestive troubles
disappear quickly when these tablets
are used. They are not a cure for
anything but dyspepsia and kindred
complaints. But they have brought

and doctors prescriptions put to-

The stomach does the heaviest work
Of any of the bodily organs, yet it's
the one we treat with the least regard.
We cat too much of the wrong kind
of food at any time. The patient stom-
ach stands such treatment as long as
it can and then it rebels. You get
notice of the rebellion in the shape of
the gases and pains caused by undi-
gested, fermenting food.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will put
the stomach right again in short order.
and enable you to eat what you want
when you want it. Carry them around
with you; they are an actual substi-

They act in a hurry when you want
relief; they act quickly, promptly,
safely and naturally in digesting your
food, just as Nature does herself; they
bring the stomach back to normal
condition.
