'I'M ONLY A LITTLE GIRL
Failing Eyesight Responsible for an
Old Mans Mistake-Rebuke
Hardly Effective.

A certain group of youngsters in an
exclusive West Side residential section
had been very noisy throughout the
forenoon.
The children were still doing their
utmost to initiate bedlam, when a
very angry old man appeared at the
door of 3 nearoy apartment house. He
was quite old, and it was evident that
his eyesight was not the best, but he
finally succeeded in picking out a
youngster who was aiding very strenu-
ously in the noise making.
The aged man walked over to the
child, took it by the hand and walked
back to the apartment. When he
reached the doorway he turned to the
child and said:
Don't you know it's against the
law to make so much poise?"
Yes, sir" was the meek reply.
We'll don't you know that you'll
be arrested and put in Jail, and then
you can never be president of the
United States?"

enough start for such venture. For
his father was only a petty Tartar
chief ruling a mere handful of fami-
lies. But the boy had boundless am
bition, was a natural ruler of men,
was held back by no qualms Of con-
science-for he seems to have been
quite conscienceless-an had nat
ural cruelty of nature that OVERRIDE
all obstacles. These customs and the
leadership of his own little tribe were
the sole backing he had for his mighty
enterprise.
The lad was known as Temudjin
("the Wiser. He was thirteen when
his father died. He found himself at
the head of a rebellious clan that
wanted to depose him for an older,
wiser chief. Temudjin thrashed bis
foes, then thrashed and annexed
neighboring tribes. He soon was rul-
er of a strong federation. A still
stronger collection OF tribes opposed
him. He made friends with the Great
Khan of the Kecaite Tartars, by

He then married the Great Khan's
daughter.
Trouble soon srrang up between
Temudjin and his father-ln-law. The
young man defeated and slew the
Great Khan, who had been his bene-
factor, and then Ifade himself master
of the whole region. His next step
was to hunt up a Shaman prophet
of wisdom), who, by working on the.
Tartars superstitions, made them re-
gard Temudjin as sort Of god. The
Shaman also prophesied that Temud-
jim would conquer the entire world.
The Tartar chief now abandoned his
early name of Temudjin and took the
title "Genghis Khan" (meaning
Greatest Chief'). He made a code
of wise laws for his followers and
changed their race name to "Mongol'
("Brave"). Then he set out on his
task of world conquest.
First annexing all Tartary, he
marched on China, crossed the Chi
nese Wall and advanced into the heart
of the country. 1t was during this eS-
petition that he first let loose to the
full his love of barbarous cruelty and
won the dread nickname THE

mans son. Young George Augustus
Frederick WIS Kept busy by his tutors,
lectured by his parents and guarded
against any knowledge Of the worlds
gayety. If there was anything in strict
upbringing he ought TO have grown
into a sort of a saint. Instead when
ne was eighteen and the bondage of
tutors and father was removed1. he
became one of the worst biaekguards
of his time.
This was in 1880 The moment his
education was finished Prince George
started another sort of education on
his own account. Forgetting every
lesson of decency that had been
taught him he plunged into the Wild
est, most depraved dissipation. He
drank, gambled, detied the moral law.
His life was a national scandal. A
liar, libertine, a drunkard, a man
who gambled with money that was
not his own, he is said to have added
to his other vices by such crooked
horse racing deals" that the Jockey
club had to warn him off the turf. !"
With it all he was handsome. had
charm of manner-when he cared to-
and was a slave Gas well as mastery
to fashion. These qualities won him
the title of First Gentleman of Eu-
rope" His sayings, his dress, his
manner were copied by the last set
and his approving nod was coveted by
social climbers. Though he was often
kindly in careless sort of way. when
it cost him nothing, yet there is per-
haps no case known where he sacri-
feed his own comfort or pleasure for
any one.
His first political act was to join
his fathers enemies in parliament.
In return Tor his support these poll
ticians tried to raise Georges yearly
allowance from $250,000 to $500, 900.
His father, George Ill, refused to al

hate each other. The prince proceed
ed to run deep into debt and to marry
a Mrs. Fftzherbert. AS crown prince
of England he had no right to marry
without his fathers consent. When
he was brought to account for it he
calmly denied the marriage and lured

GOOD SOIL FOR IN ORCHARD
Must Be Prepared Sufficiently Deep
and Drained So That Roots May
Reach Into SubsoiI.

First of all. the soil must be well
drained and prepared sufficiently
deep so that TIE roots nay reach deep
into the subsoil second, the sur
face soil must be cultivated frequent
ly md rotation of cover crops and
catch crops employed so that a suf-
ficient amount of plant food will be
made available to promote a rapid
healthy growth rather than forcing
the growth of the trees by the use OF
manures and fertilizers rich in nitro
gen. In some rare instances the soil
may be deficient in plant food. and
the intelligent use of mineral plant
foods will prove very beneficial.
1t is when the orchards begin to
produce large crops of fruit that the
demands for plant food must be met
if profitable crops of superior fruit
are secured. At this time the roots
of the trees have taken possession OF
practically all of the soil, and have
utilized the larger portion of the
available plant food so that the ad-
dition of manure or fertilizer is es-
sential.
The function of the soil In furnish
ing the trees with nourishment is IN
exceedingly complex one, and there
are certain well-defined laws that
must be kept in mind for improvement
and maintenance of the fertility OF
the soil that is occupied by the trees,
Some orchardists advocate sod mulch
others depend upon cultivation and
the liz al use of fertilizers and barn
manures, others cover crops and min
eral fertilizers as a means of improv'

Young Trees in Orchards.

Young trees planted in an old or
chard very seldom give satisfaction.
This is largely for the reason tia
young trees need different care from
old ones, and also because the young
trees will hardly receive as much sun
shine as thsy should because OF the
shade they will get from the older
trees.
