Garden Tools"

kipling says that soldier is no
better than his feet. and 1t is equally
true that a gardener is no better than
his tools. Much muscle, time and
perspiratien is being wasted at this
very moment because OF the use OF i'm.
proper tools. or the misuse of the
proper ones for the purpose. Most of
this waste Of time is due to lack OF
information about tools on the part Of
the user, and the misinformed pur.
chaser can secure little intelligent
information from the ayer2g &c hard.
ware clerk, as most OF them seem to
have been recently promoted from
the ribbon department or the soda
fountain.
1t Is much easier to do garden work
with sharp tools. Every stroke Is
clean and true and it goes where it is
sent with halt the effort a dull tool
requires.
The American factory mechanic is
reputed to spend three times as much
OF his time sharpening his tools as do
the European workmen. but he pro-
duces nearly twice as much finished
product thereby. The same principle
applies to the use OF garden tools.
Keep them sharp and In good working
order.
A fat, fine fle is mighty handy to
have about. With 1t you can sharpen
your hoe, spade, trowel cultivator
teeth, grass shears and lawn mower
The file will make an ideal cutting
edge on these tools and this edge

have to be ground on a grindstone or
emery stone. and then resharpened
from time to time with MILESTONE.
The bevel OF the edge must be as
acute as possible on this class Of
tools.
The best tool for spading up soil is
not the spade. but the spadng fork.
1t penetrates the soil much easier and
pulverizes 1t more In turning over.
II the spade is preferred, it should
have as fiat a blade as possible, to
prevent clogging.
The hoe Is the most useful tool in
the small garden and 1t should have
a large and heavy blade. The addi-
tlonal width will do more work with
the same number OF strokes and the
heavy head does more effective work
because OF its added momentum.
A rake is of rather small importance
after The seed Is once planted. but It
is an excellent and practically in
dispensable implement for levcling and
pulverizing the seed bed. Use a cast
iron rake Of the narrow type. The
wide ones are too hard to handle.
For the larger garden, a hand cui-
tivator or wheel hoe is fine and a
great time and muscle saver. With It
the entire garden can he hoed easily
in the same length of time one takes
to hoe tenth OF 1t by hand.

cepted the bond of $4,000 offered by a
surety company in a perfunctory man
ner In the generals house. The Incl
dent was dramatic in the extreme. It
was more Of a social affair than a
physical expression by the state of its
power against a crippled old veteran.
1t was In this hour of need that
many personal friends and many prom
lnent persons all over the country
came to the front with offers Of finan-
cial aid. All expressed their patriotic
purpose of merely helping their coun-
tryman to repay in pitifully small
way the incalculable service rendered
by the general for his country. It
was proposed to raise and repay the
$4,000 by popular subscription
Most notable among those who came
to the aid of the general was Mrs.
Helen D. Longstreet, widow of the
general who led the attack against Ma
jor General Sickles and was driven
back in the famous PENNSYLVANIA con-
flict
Through Mrs. Longstreet it was
made possible that the beaten foes Of
the troubled general might now come
to his aid
This is the letter General Sickles re-
ceived from Mrs. Longstreet:
Gainesville, Ga, Jan. 25.
General Daniel E. Sickles, % Fifth Ave-
nue., New York City:
My soul is sorrowed by your troubles

York that I will raise the money among

WAR FOR ESTATE OF SPANIARD
Discovery of BaptismaI Record Base Of
Legal Fight.

Legal Fight.
With the discovery of the baptismal
record of Joseph Valliere, a French ad-
venturer who became a Spanish don,
his heirs, who are scattered through
out the United States, believe they
have found the link needed to prove
their claims to a tract Of land eighty
miles in width and 100 miles long, on
which part of the city of New Orleans
stands. For more than sixty years the
heirs have been trying to establish
their claim to the grant made to their
ancestor by Caron de Carondelet as
Spanish governor in 1863
John Hartwine, who was engaged to
try to complete the evidence which the
Valliere heirs hope is going to divide
$10,O00,OOO between them, found in the
parish Of L'Etienne de Beaumont, in
Quebec, Canada. the baptismal record
Of Joseph Valliere.
The Valliere heirs, it is said, have
enlisted the aid of United States Sena-
tor O'Gorman in having their claim in
vestigated at Washington, and papers
are being prepared for the legal fight.

DO violence to the facts in this case.
General Sickles is being prosecuted by
the state of New York for converting
to his own use the sum of 500, 476."
General Sickles was adjudged bv

battlefield or their sons to be unworthy
OF membership in the Loyal Legion,
secret military organization. in 1911.
His application for membership was
met with a blackball, thus forever de-
prlVlng him of the privilege of belong
ing to the organization. It was the
second time the veteran had sought ad-
mittance to the Loyal Legion, but he
withdrew the other time. about nine
years ago, on the advice of his friends.
1t seems from the result of the re-
cent ballot that the animosity stirred
up in the Loyal Legion at that time
has not died in the intervening Years.
Many more new members have been
accepted in the organization since 1902,
and necessarily they must have been
more or less unacquainted with the
feud that almost rent the New York
commandery of the legion. However.
the humiliation later is more keen, if
the general wished to accept it so. than
it was in his former attempt. Then his
name was withdrawn because of the
storm it aroused; in the later attempt
the old warrior has been rejected abso-
lutely.

have been directing serious charges
against Miss Eleanor Earl Wilmerding,
the generals housekeeper. When Mrs
Sickles, who was the first one looked
upon as the one to save the general,
expressed her willingness again to
solve his trouble she made the condi-
ton that Miss Wilmerding must leave
the generals house. She declared she
would sell her jewels and beggar her
self to save the wartime hero, but she
would not do that to provide the COM
fort of the woman she declared was
her husbands undOing.
General Sickles received this ulti-
matum from the lips of his son and
thought it over for day. Then he de-
cided to accept the charity of his old
foes rather than submit. He shut the
doors of his house against his wife
and son. 1t was final display of the
generals old headstrong, self willed
pride

in 1907 and 1910 to determine the con-
ditions on an area of more than 1,OOO,-
900 acres in northeastern Oregon show
ed that the killing of a large number Of

MAJOR GENERAL sIcKLEs BEING ASSISTED
BY A POLICEMAN.
adversely all tumble upon the sensi-
bilities OF one who reads of his latest
trouble
The major general has figured in va
rious affairs of hardship in the past
few years. He has been estranged
from his wife and son, Stanton, for a
long time and on several occasions has
been beset by suits for large sums of
money which he had borrowed or con-
tracted in unfortunate business af-
fairs. Several times recently the great
collection Of war trophies. paintings,
medals. arms. uniforms and other me-
mentos which enrich his house at %
Fifth avenue. New York, have been in
danger of attachment. Each time Mrs.
Sickles has come to the aid of her hus-
band with substantial sums. The old
warrior had steadfastly renowned
Mrs. Sickles and coldly turned from
her through the years of their separa-
ton. A brief reconciliation occurred
when Mrs. Sicl1les made her last con-
tribution to protect his treasures
This reconciliation proved short lived
because of the rapid and sensational
developments of General Sickles' final
calamities. And therein is focused the
biggest romance of the warriors life.
The charge against him made by the
state of New York technically is that
he diverted to his own private uses ap-
proximately 100000 of funds belonging
to the state monument commission.
He returned part Of this, and the bal
ance of his discrepancy was approx
mately $4,000 when the attorney gen
eral lost all patience and issued war
rant for the generals arrest.
This was the sorrowful blot on pa
triot's record and the national sorrow
of his countrymen that the hero Of
Gettysburg should be incarcerated as
a felon behind Jail bars, possibly to
die there A wave of indignation over
such prospect rose from all over the
country. 1t was quickly apparent that
no one, not even the state officials.
really wished to prosecute the order of
punishment upon the general. but that
the officials were in a peculiar posi-
ton. AS Governor Sulzer expressed it,
they had the deepest reverence and adj
miration for the general, but they could
not officially condone or cover a pub
lie offense such as his.
Thus Major General Sickles. the man
who whipped back the valiant hosts
of the Confederacy under Major Cen
eral Longstreet at Gettysburg and who
lost his leg in that engagement was
actually arrested. For several min
utes-though it was all technical-the
hero Of the greatest American battle
was actually a prisoner.
