form to one OF slender, bewitchins
beauty.
Comes one day climber. more dar.
ing than others before him. The icy
fastness where she hides her lowell
ness is invaded by him. Having been
seen by him her retreat soon is in
vaded by many men eager to behold
her and, from the thrill OF beholding
her, doomed to love her hopelessly.
She is kind, but cold to all. Unable
to endure the sight of one so beauti-
full and still not possess her, her adj
mirers join in a prayer to heaven.
They ask that since they may not
claim her for their own they may at
least be spared the sight of one so
lovely. The prayer is answered. The
angel is taken back to heaven. She
leaves behind her human heart in the
edelweiss as a memento OF her earth
Iy residence.
And so from an object Of love itself,
the edelweiss has come to be the
symbol of love. The Swiss maiden to
whom some swain mas brought the

her. Receiving them. she under

Told.

Lucerne.-When the warm spring
sun kisses the rugged slopes OF the
Alps the snow will gradually disap-
pear. In the hooks and crannieB of
the rocks here and there will appear
the shoots Of a tiny plant. 1t will
push its soft, velvety stems upward a
few inches. Upon these fragile stalks
later will appear dense clusters OF
white fowers-so white that they al
most appear greenish in their purity
OF color. The heads OF the flowers are
covered with a fieecy substance, soft
as down to the touch.
This modest little blossom is the
edelweiss.
Every summer season intrepid noun
taineers give up their lives to gather
the edelweiss. 1t is precious because
1t is rare. 1t is desirable because 1t
is difficult to obtain. For the edel-
weiss grows generally In the most in
accessible places. II pestles in the
steep sides of the precipice and the
chasm. Inyigorated by the mountain
air, intoxicated by the scenery, the
climber beholds the blossom in its
dangerous crevice. He determines to
make his way to 1t and bear 1t away
with him. Sometimes he succeeds IN
the quest, only to fail as he attempts
to return. A loose stone that he has
trusted as a foothold slips away. His
hands are flung out to save himself.
There is nothing secure to cling to.
The end is deep down in the ravine

ness.

SOURCES OF WATER SUPPL,
In General One Source h Usually ~
FREQ From Injurious AIkaiIes -
the Other.

! In reply to tho Query: is there
any difference between weIl watcr and
rain or surface water for irrsgatins
purposes?" the following reply 4,
made by II. b. Walker OF Manhattan
Kan:
There has been considerable discus
sion relative 10 the qualities OF under
ground water compared with surface
and stream water for irrigation pur-
poses. On account OF the indefinite
source OF much OF the underfow no d.
rect comparison can be made. In gen
eral. however, one source OF supply
is usually as free from Injurious aka
lies as the other In the semi-arid
belt many streams disappear In the
sands and thus supply the undernow.
In other places the underhow may be
at great depths and thus free from
the teaching alkalies. Where the un.
derfiow has percolated through soils
containing alkali there Is a tendency
for these alkalies to be dissolved and
ton. This may take place. however,
even IN the stream water as well as
the underfow.
Ordinary alkali Is made up Of one
or more of the following salts In vary
ing proportions Sodium Chord

(Glauber's salt), magnesium sulphate
Epson salt). calcium Chord. and
calcium sulphate, all OF which are
white alkalies, and sodium carbonate

to be encountered in surface water as

be colder than surface water and for
that reason 1t may not be quite so de-
sirable for irrigation purposes. On

serious. Everything considered. it
would seem that one source of supply
Is as good as the other for the usual

HARD PROBLEM IN ORCHARDS
Not an Easy Matter to Secure First
Class Trees--irrigation Coats Just

In discussing horticultural matters
with western man the other day he
said; THE most difficult point to
meet In orchard work is to secure the
proper trees. The strain is just as i'm
portant as variety. l find just as much
difference In trees of the same variety
In the quantity, size, color and annual
bearing of fruit trees as In the guam
tity of milk and the butter fat 1t con-
tains in different cows of the same
breed. Every orchard of any size
contains at least few trees of such
quality that IL the whole orchard was
made like them, the producing value
or the entire orchard would be in
creased many times. And herein lies
the most important point in securing
high grade investment in CONNER
cial orchards. IL costs just as much
TO prune, spray. irrigate and cultivate
the second or third rate trees as II
does the highest class tree and yet the
latter is the exception We can Sc
cure such trees In the following man
ner: Arrange with several growers
who produce apples of the desired va
risties. And when the ripening fruit
is on the tree, go carefully through
these orchards and tag with good
substantial tags that will last fol-
three or four years the trees that |
produce the largest. best colored, and |
best favored fruit. have the best

Nor dare the gang to run a race

And make fuss when It was sioked
But all the fellows heard it howl

1t used to always go with me-
And other dogs would keep away
And never even try to SEQ
What my dog might have had to say,
Its tail Is bobbed to just a stump
And both its ears is clipped and nicked--
But am feeling like chump
Since it got licked.
When my dog growls It shows its teeth
And snarls until you have a. chill.
Its jaw hangs way down underneath
They say that kind OF dog can kill
No one has ever canned 1t yet
Nor come up sly to ii and kicked

My dog got licked.
Just yesterday a little fyste
Was lying down there in the street
And we sicked my dog on it twicet
And then the fyste got on its feet
And shook Its head and made a snap
At my dog-and its teeth just clicked
And my dog it let out a zap,
Cause 1T was licked.
So all the gang has turned me down
And 1 can't run things any more
And don't want to go downtown
But just to set here at our door
And wish that dog of mine could see
It's really me that has been tricked,
And that it's whole lots worse for me
That It got licked.

For several weeks the general as
sembly had been deadlocked over the
election of United States senator.
There were ninety-three Republican
members and lightweight Demo
cratic ones. The Republicans had
nominated Sheriff. Vane. The Demo
cratic candidate was James Brown.
AS the Republicans had majority of
five it was expected that their candi-
date would be elected on the first
ballot But when the Republicans
met in caucus and chose their candi-
date, five of the younger members of
the party rebelled, refused to support
Sheriff. Vane and demanded the
election of George Allerton. =
Allerton had never been affiliated
with either party. He was the lead
ing lawyer OF the state, man OF In
corruptible honor and national fame.
The five insurgents openly declared
their hostility to Sheriff. Vane, the
Republican candidate, and announced
that the deadlock would remain until
George Allerton was elected The
leader of the insurgents was Doane

Around the insurgent band ragged
the political battle. The Republican
party used every weapon and every
strategy at their command to compel
the five to support the party candi-
date. The Democrats fought as fierce
ly to win them for the Democratic
candidate. Day after day for many
weeks the ballot remained the same:

George Allerton, 5.
