Gardens.
From Life.

From Lie.
 A garden' is a place into which you put quantities of seeds, time and money: and from which you f9le out weeds and bach-aches and occasional flowers and vegetables. Every garden should have attached fo if a trust company, hired ldan and a water meter; also Faith, nope and charity.
 Gardens are useful in many ways. They dispose of rain showers in April and dust showers in August; thev are also used as a summer re- sort by your neighbors hens, who find no other places so restful to a tired and feather-upholstered stom- ach.
 If corn is grown-in gardens it af- fords a comparatively safe refuge for the village eat and kittens and often supports whole families Of crows in comfort, if not luxury.
 Gardens are usually made out of top soil, which your local florist or landscape architect imports from the neighboring quarry at great eX- pense-to you. He then puts upon it a frosting of patent fertilizer, whose presence becomes immedi- ately evident to all within the sound of it's voice. Some fertilizers, such as we have mentioned, are said to fertilize, but we speak only from heaTsay.
 Gardens are of many kinds, in cluding the common or garden gar den, and the Italian or sunken gar den. A sunken garden does not diff fer materially from others, except that, as a rule, you sink more money in it.
 Gardens should be tested occas- ionally by packing them up and sending them by parcel post to the Department of Agriculture. Or, if you do not wish to wait, have them chemically examined by the nearest soda clerk.
 The results in each case will probably be the same.
 If you live in the suburbs, al- ways place around your garden a hich hedge. This will prevent your neighbors from looking over and romarling that if you had followed their advice in inc beginning you might have something tO brae about

BE STRONG.

Whatever may happen, whatever may come, Whether things go right, whether things go wrong. There is just one duty abroad, at home, It is told in the order: Be brave, be strong. The fellow who falters and loses heart, The fellow who fears in the thick of the fight, And he who behaves with the cow ards part, has never heard this order aright Be strong to suffer, be strong to dare, Be strong to speak; let your words ring true; Be strong the burdens of life to bear, Be strong to wait, and be strong to dO And whether around you be silence spread, Or whether anear you be shout and song, Tn the core of your soul let these words be said: In the combat of living, be brave, be strong.

Government bN SpaSmS.

The Illinois legislature was in session 23 weeks. A contemporary on the ground reports that in the first 2l weeks it passed onc-quarler of the bills that 1t finally made into law and in the last two weeks IL passed thrcc-quarters of them. That Is the inevitable legislative program-tWo or three months of prcilmuuares appointing cUmmll- tees, playing politics, squaUblIng over points of party vantage; then two or three weeks of earnest ef- fort to get the machinery really starJed, then about ten days of irenzied haste during which a large .part of the important legislation is actually accomplished.
 A body constituted as our legis- Iatures are cannot possibly work any other way. There would be exactly the same result with bank or a railroad if once in two years the stockholders elected a large body of directors who mostly knew 'loIllllS Ill particular about banking or transportation, who were sharp- ly divided by opposing profession al interests and who were to re- main in session only three months But the bank or railroad wouldn't last long under the guidance of such board.
 We legiSlate in convulsions when we legislate at all. The organism IS so constituted that it must have a fit or lie dormant.

The often referred to drouth of 1901 isn't in it with 1913.
 On July 29 of that year 6-inch rain fell, breaking up the heat and drouth. The farmers planted forage crops, gardens were made and quite a lot of stuff was raised before frost.
 But it's different this year, We got a Scant half inch of rain July 28, and the thermometer has. registered above the hundred mark every day for over a month. sometimes going as high as ll2 in the shade,
 About two inches of rain fell dur ing June, and May was dry month. It would be safe to say that the to- tal rainfall from March 1 to date would be less than five inches
 Only a week of August remains and corn has been cut up for feed and pastures are barren. If rain should come right away it would be too late to put in a catch crop of any kind. In face of the fact that the two previous years were dry and cut the corn crop short, this sec ton of the country is facing a cri- sis. Indications are that the drouth will continue up till winter, and not give us any fall pasture The Bor- der Telephone.
