Rounds, Jr., page in the Massachu-
sets house of representatives, and
Herbert B. Larner, a high school boy,
met on the field of honor near Har-
ward university and fought a bitter
duel. Rounds for the loyalty of his
twin sister and Larner for the hand
OF his sweetheart. The fight all but
cost Larner his life. For three days
after the encounter he lay between
life and death In the hospital and
was saved only by his sweetheart
breaking into his sick room, against
the doctors order, and kissing him.
The consequent change in his spirits
placed him on the road to recovery.
Rounds was arrested on a charge
of stabbing with intent to kill. 1t Is
alleged that, when he found he was

and stabbed his adversary in the
breast

Preparation of the Garden for
Next Year,

Here are few good plans to put
your garden in the best shape for next
years crops. After the various vege-
tables have ripened and the plants
died, the garden should be plowed. II
you are keeping chickens, 1t would
be well to harrow and SOW to vetch
or rape, either of which will give you
a good crop Of green food for the
chickens. This can be planted as late
as August is. Sow it thickly and give
1t plenty Of water. This crop will
make a good green feed for the chick
ems until 1t gets too dry and then 1t
can be cured and made into a water
mash as needed. This makes a very
good substitute for the green feed
during winter months.
II you have no chickens, and there
fore have no use for a green feed, we
suggest that you plant the garden to
clover. Clover belongs to the legumin-
Gus class of plants, which put nitrogen
back into the soil. Let this crop grow
until just before frost, then pillow It
under. This will enrich the soil and
tighten It.
In any event, the garden should be
plowed in the fall, particularly where
the soil is heavy. This will permit
the frost to break up and decompose
the soil during the winter months,
making the plant foods more avail
able in the spring. Before planting,
the entire garden should be gone over
with a disk harrow.
1t will be still better II you win
cover the ground with q fertilizer be-
fore blowing. There is nothing better
for this perhaps than good sod, which
accounts for better crops the first
year than later on. Stable manure is
good
II the soil is very heavy and sour,
put lime on, in the form of air slaked
lime or ground raw lime stone.

MUCH Benefit BY SPRAYING
Reasons Why LIme-suIphur ls Best
Solution to Use on Apple Trees
Study for Grower.

The growing of apples is an enor
nous industry which is constantly ex-
banding. This is due largely to the
fact that of all fruit the apple is in
most steady demand, and is a very re-
liable crop. The profits on a well
conducted apple ranch or orchard are
fairly large. the labor entailed in car
ing for the trees and marketing the
crop is not excessive, and there 10
scarcely any section of the country In
which some varieties Of apples will
not thrive.
Spraying is the one operation above
every other which determines the
market value of apples, and yet In
many instances 1t receives the least
attention Of all the orchard work, 40
cording to a Faren and Home expert
The matter Of spraying Is one which
must be given careful attention and
study by each grower, for the reason
that the practice giving the very best
results in one section may be Of In
different value In another.
For instance, the Ben Davis 10 90

bordeaux mixture that, az a rule,
naturally fine fruit Of this variety will
be rendered second class II this spray
IL used.
Limesulphur solution ID apparently
as effective as bordeaux mixture in
the control Of apple scab, and will
control leaf spot and other minor
troubles. In sections where spraying
for bitter rot is required the lime
sulphur treatment for scab and Leaf
spot could be followed by applica-
tions Of bordeaux mixture for bitter
rot and apple blotch, as 1t has not yet
been determined that the lime-sul
phur spray will control these diseases.
Arsenate Of lead IL unquestionably the
poison to use with the hme-sulphui
mixtures.

to the authorities where or when the
knowledge of the student is obtained.
The instruction is a combination OF
tutor and lectures. Each student has
his tutor to whom he reports and who
watches his progress. He is not re-
quired to attend lectures, but pleases
himself-and in the end passes or
fails. 1t is not the means, but results
that the university cares about
Ancient Customs Prevail.
Such are some few OF the Oxford
customs and such is its method of in.
struction. Foolish customs, you say.
There are many such. Queer they do
not adopt the ways OF our own Ameri-
can colleges? Pause and consider:
can we show better results than they ?
Some one has said: THE college
teaches and the university examines, .
which is true, as in few things do the
men OF the different colleges come to-
gether except in examinations. Each
college has its own staff of dons and
tutors professors we should call
them.) An undergraduate may attend
lectures in any college. But the same
lot OF examiners serves for all. Thus
the examinations are impersonal.
There are few more customs which
give most clearly the atmosphere of
Oxford. The vice-chancellor still goes
to official meetings clad in his scarlet
robes, and preceded by two beadles in
medieval costume. One head master
still writes his letters in Latin to those
he knows can read them. Each night
the student must sleep in his own
room, and as a proof his scout" must
take loaf of bread from the kitchen
each morning. The man who fails in
this is apt to be suspended.
Enough, however. of methods and
customs in general The various col
leges attract the visitor. Christ church,
one OF the best known and largest OF
the colleges. has about 300 undergrad
yates. 1t was founded by Cardinal

Blossoms for Fall.

The spring brings its sweet, dainty
little flowers, synonymous with love
and hope, the summer blazes with
brilliant garish colors, and the fall
has it's own softer tones with which
to decorate the pleasant harvest time.
Gold, brown, deep red, purple, and
yellow have long been the standard
fall lines, but there are many other
shades that can be enjoyed In the
autumn garden.
While they bring a breath Of sad
ness with them, still the time Of the
golden rod and the purple aster and
the black-eyed Susan is perhaps the
dearest Of all to those who dwell
amidst natural scenes.
Why not have the same beautiful
wild wood colors in our fall gardens?
Why not bring the harvest spirit into
your own life by growing the harvest
flowers about your home.
In the early autumn days, after the
riotous summer blooms have gone, we

Lee Hing Found It Wasn't Safe to Move a Safe

secret the fact that the safe had been
left behind in the rooming house by
a Chinese merchant who had for
merly occupied the place.
How Lee came to lose interest In
safes and his own security is of more
interest than the history OF this par
ticular safe. Lee was curled up be-
hind his seven-foot pipe and was puff
ing like locomotive one afternoon
in front Of his boarding house when a
gentle zephyr brought the startling
news that the Hip Sing tongmen were
going to pay a visit to Lees bedroom
and hold a post norton on the safe.
Incidentally the informant stated, the
Hip Sings might separate Lee from
his thinking apparatus.
That was the last straw. Lee al
most lost his trousers and shoe leath-
er getting up three flights of stairs to
his snoring emporium. With one
bound he was at the side Of the safe.
Rudely he dragged the two ton strong
box toward the stairs.
Lee clambered down two steps and
lovingly grabbed the safe. With a
delicate little start the safe fell for
ward into Lees upheld arms There
was a brief hesitation as Lee grasped
the object to his breast. The hesita-
ton was decidedly brief. Lee sudden
ly rolled his eyes like a snake charm
er with the delirium tremens and with
a wall in Chinese became a victim Of
gravity.
Lee and the safe landed simultane-
ously at the bottom landing. Less
than ten million yellow sons Of China
were in line to receive them.

Girl Referees Duel Between Suitor and Brother

She and Larner had been friends

and was accepted. AS sweethearts

Her sweetheart instructed Miss
Rounds to tell her brother that he
would be over that night to give him
a much needed lesson. He would show
him how TO treat his sister.
Let him try" growled Rounds.

That night the Ave went to a field

Lillian Rounds, while Miss Fanny
Rounds, another sister, came along
to be second for her brother. Miss
Grogan gave the signal. The boys
rushed at each other and fought

back and in another instant there was
