A GARDENING INSULT
Minor Filling of the Soil Declared to
 Be Sedentary Occupation

From the Chicago Evening Post.
 ''Do you play golf7' asked the doctor.
 'No.p
 "Tennls or baseball7"
 "No. But I work in the garden"
 You lead a sedentary life, them. And he so notes 1t on the diagnosis card.
 This, to our mind, is one of the most cruel thrusts with which the amateur gardener has to put up. 'Sedentary'' in It's root means 'slt': it conveys a sug- gestion of the fireside and the lazy man before it reading the sporting extra in- stead of getting his baseball at the ball park. It con1ures up pictures of fat par, ties whose sole pedal locomotion covers the strip from the front door to the mo- tor car. It Is phrase devoted especially to the clerk who sits on a high stool alI day and wriggles his fingers over page of ruled paper.
 All these personages the word "seden- tary' covers. But not--a thousand times not-the amateur gardener. Follow this man as he leaves his office and goes ta the seed store. This means fight No. 1. No bargain sale" surpasses the em- battled crush that surrounds the seed counter nowadays. To get a single pack age of sweet peas a knock-down-and- drag-out struggle is absolutely required.
 Next, this gardener totes out on the train his bundles of grass seed, his agr- cultural implements and a heavy shrub or two done up in a saclting.
 Arrived on the scene of action he has to strip off his store clothes and get down to fighting trim. Then out into the garden. which consists at present of a large stretch of lumpy clay. It seems to stretch off indefinitely to the horizon And the Jumps of hard soil scattered thickly upon 1t arc as the stones on the shore of the sea.
 Breaking up these nodules may be un- romantic but it's not "sedentary." Nor is there anything suggesting an easy chair in the spading up of even few square yards of earth. Nor in the laborious raking of it. Nor yet in the excavation of the seed trenches and the "stoop. stoop, stoop' of planting.
 The golfer makes a far better .'front'' than the gardener He dresses fancy" for his game he has admiring wolnerr folks to sit on the country club porch and tell him what a wonder he is. And the tennis player in white fannels and all makes a far prettler appeal
 But if any golfer or tenniser wants to know how 1t feels to be really tired, what the sensation Is of complete, breathless, aching exhaustion, we advise him to start the cultivation of a 10 foot flower bed in his front lawn. And when he drops to the ground in d faint let the police make q compulsory substitute of the physician who calls gardening ''seden- tary."

 Ezra Pound. the poet, was talking at the Authors club. in New York, about SheI- ley's cremation.

 Who can forbear a smile at the thought of that devoted young matron, who. her front steps being covered with sleet. sprinkled her first husbands ashes over them in order that her second husband might descend in safety?" Smiling himself Mir. Pond resumed. And who could forbear another smile at the thought of the young widow on the blustery March morning who entered her drawing room to find that the wind had overturned the vase which contained her husbands remains. !" Pshaw.' she said, now isn't it just like George to throw his ashes all over my new Kirmanshah rugr"
