WHERE ALL LOVE GARDENS.

In Japan every one loves gardens,
knows gardens and makes gardens.
The children amuse themselves with
toy gardens instead of mud pies, and
model relief maps in the sands of
school Fairgrounds. In the recent
wars the soldiers, after long march
es, amused themselves by making
little home landscapes before their
tents. In more remote times en-
perors and shoguns abdicated and
joined or established monasteries in
Kioto, that they might the better
mediate upon the eternal truths,
and enjoy gardens of their own de-
signing. Priests, mobiles and court
ladies all observed the conventions
and practiced the rules Of landscape
art.

Illustrated garden books there was lit

Lawrence D'orsay's Typical Version
Of Willie Golfers Qulp in

Nat Goodwin and Chauncey Oh
colt were sitting in the Lambs club
one morning when Willie Collier en-
tered, evidently feeling very much
at peace with the world. Near by
sat Lawrance Dorsey, the English
actor.
"Good morning, Nat" said VIII
lie airily, u trust 1 see you well

Rotten, thank you, rotten" said
Goodwin, who had been making
merry.

Collier.
"Also rotten, thank YOU" was o.
colts reply.
81 hope, then, I see the ink we'll"
Collier remarked as he lodged away.
Goodwin and Olcott roared, but
D'0rsay, who had been an auditor
of the entire colloquy, said nothing.
A few nights later the English
man was a guest at dinner. He was
talking of American humor, and re-
peated the exchanges between Col
lier, Goodwin and Olcott straight
enough until he came to the climax.
"And Collier said" D'Orsay quot
ed, "T'm glad to see the ink stand
and everybody roared. And l don't

IT WAS WORTH "A WHIPPING
colored Boy Decided He Never Would
Have Another Chance to See
Court House Burn.

The county court house was burn
ing and the Judge was very anxious
to arrive at the scene of much of his
life work as quickly as possible, and
post haste sent the negro house boy
to saddle Sintram, his horse.
The judges sons, seeing Sintram
in process of being saddled, pre-
empted the remaining horses and
rode off. The little negro considered
the matter for a moment and rode
off, thus forcing the judge to take
a hurried, and, as he considered it,
an entirely unnecessary walk of half
a mile.
To the surprise and chagrin of
the small negro, when the Judge
caught him he gave him a good
thrashing.
