GIVING PLENTY OF DISTANCE
Common Mistake Made by Many
Gardeners Is That of crowding
Plants Too Close.

Many gardeners make the mistake
Of crowding garden vegetables too
close in the drill. Vegetables require
rapid growth and quick maturity to
give quality and flavor to the plants
when served. Unless the soil Is eX-
ceptionally rich, and there is plenty
Of soil moisture available during the
growing season, the plants are apt to
be dwarfed and the quality of the
vegetables impaired
In producing vegetables for the
market. the grower will endeavor to
grow plants Of high quality and de-
sirable favor, and he cannot afford
to take any risk. 1t is far better to
produce fewer products and gather
vegetables of better quality than to
have an abundance that do not COM
mand fair prices.
The safest plan is to SOW plenty OF
seeds in order that a good stand may
be secured. If the plants are tender
and the spring IS favorable for the in
sects, diseases, cold nights, etc, leave
about twice as many plants as you
desire to grow. When the weather IS
favorable for the growth of the
plants. thin promptly, leaving the re-
quired number of plants BE sure that
the plants have sufficient distance to
produce vegetables Of extra quality.

Raisinu Horses.

Men who are raising scrub horses

which fit nowhere may sell low in the
future, but horses that have a trade
will sell high. Any sound saddle horse
or any light harness horse or big draft

Lecend Of Saint Dvmphna.

Some 1900 years ago, so runs the
tale, the beautiful daughter Of a
heather king of Ireland fed from her
fathers court and, crossing the seas,
took refuge at Gheel. Dymphna had
been converted to Christianity by the
teaching Of a monk named Gerebern.
and it was under his protection that
she sought deliverance from her I'M
natural father who strove to force
upon her an incestuous union The
Infatuated king followed the fugitives
and discovered their retreat. Gerebsrn
was cruelty put 10 death by ne saw
age soldiery, and the king himself, re-
CARELESS of his daughters pleading for
mercy, seized h~r long hair, and with
one blow cut of her head; then, with
out waiting to give his victims burial,
he returned to Ireland. After time,
IL began to be rumored that strange
miracles Of healing from sickness and
disease wee wrought on the scene Of
this horrible crime and, curiously
enough, it was those afflicted mental
ly who derived especial benefit. The
spot came to be considered holy
ground, and soon a church was built,
and dedicated to Saint Dymphna, with
in which the bones of the martyrs
were laid to rest in a vault prepared
for their reception beneath the high
altar.-Alice Isaacson, in Atlantic.

Newly Rich Discovers That Fine
Gowns and Personal Beauty Are
Only Part of the Qualifications
Required at Royal Courts.

Berlin.-The emperor's wife always
scrutinizes with jealous eye the list of
German women ambitious to attend
the court balls. An instance of her
watchfulnes has become known.
A Berlin hostess not OF noble de-
scent, but who is extremely anxious
to figure in court circles, obtained.
through q wealthy friend who has
long been a favorite with the empress,
an invitation to the trial dance given
by her majesty's mistress Of ceremo-
MES, Countess Won BrockdOrff. At such
a rehearsal the countess selects the
women to be invited to the second
dance. which the empress attends.
Having been invited to the first
trial ball, the hostess, one Of the new
ly rich, felt confident that her triumph
was secure, and gossiped with friends
about the kind OF gown that would
please the crown prince and the 9TH
er princes, believing her personal beau
ty would command attention. To her
surprise no invitation came to the
second trial dance. Presenting that a
mistake had been made, she asked her
friend to intercede with Countess Won
Brockendorff. The mistress Of cere-
monies was highly indignant, but sent
an invitation.
When the time came for the empress
to look over the guests. Countess Won
Brockendorf lowered her eyes gently
as the hostess was being inspected, a
sign which was understood. The en-
press chatted quietly with the others,
but swept majestically by the noue-
veau richie without sign OF recogni-
ton or greeting.
The beauty glared in fury at the
countess, then rushed from the house.

a. Ely, the son of General Ralph Ely,
and was the mother of one son,
Ralph c. Ely, both of whom survive

Both by her inherent qualities and
by training Mrs. Ely was of the
finest type of American womanhood.
Endowed by a nature with clear
and active mind, she was trained to
its best use, and enriched it by years
of careful, thorough, well selected
reading. Innately good, her ripper
years revealed to those who knew
her best, the purifying influence upon
ones own spirit of a life we'll
spent. Graced by nature with a
kindly heart, the passing years with
her served merely to make more gen
tie the heart that always beat respon-
sive to the joys or sorrows of those
about her. Her world was home,
and within that circle her influence
was an all-prevailing one, pressing
always for the simplest, purest and
noblest virtues. Without the slight
est ostentation or display, she passed
her days in living the life God mapped
out for her TO live, fulfilling its
duties. meeting its responsibilities,
bearing its burdens and rejoicing in
its joys; and when life's work was
done she laid it down and went to
her repose with the same simple and
unfaltering faith that had been with
her throughout her days. There is

such life or to estimate the widen
