efore you start upon your way

Before you start upon your way
A little fair advice I'll give;
Save something somehow day by day
Beyond the price you pay to live:
Make no assertion. no proud boast,
Which you're unable to support.
And till you must give up the ghost
Keep your love letters out OF court.
Be not insulted easily . .
When they that would insult are big:
From boorish practices be free,
Play life's game fairly; don't "renig;"
Work not too hard yet do not turn
Too frequently to futile sport;
And this precept be sure to learn:
Keep your love letters out Of court
Be not a solemn anchorite,
Be glad in look and word and thought;
IT'S just that you should claim delight
Where pleasure may be fairly sought;
Live so that when disasters fall
You may have strength to hold the fort:
But this advice take first OF all:
Keep your love letters out Of court.

a Roof Garden Idea.

1t is surprising when one sees what
may be done with potted plants and
flower boxes on a sunny porch. One IN
genious woman whose entire outdoor do
main consisted of an uncovered porch
three stories above the street last sum-
mer turned it into a perfect bower. The
unsightly iron railing was used as
foundation for galvanized wire over which
vines were trained. Large green tubs in
the corners contained many hardy an
nuals with vines and trailing plants at
the edges. All the house plants were
brought out to this porch for summer
vacation and received new life for the
coming winter. OF course, il took care
and attention to keep the plants bloom
ing and fresh during the hottest weather
and many a morning the owner rose at
an early hour to give her plants the nee
essary care before the sun became too
warm for comfort. The unprotected stu
alton caused the plants to become dry,
often making daily watering imperative.
but the owner gladly gave her time and
felt repaid for all her trouble when in
the cool of the evening she sat in her
roof garden and enjoyed her flowers
blooming in the heart of the city.

the medallions, forming long strip.

The human mind cannot grasp the
magnitude and magic beauty OF the
Grand Canyon. Those who have not
been there either don't understand or
don't believe half they hear Of 1t; those
who have been there cannot describe It..
One man who saw 1t was actually doubt
full of it's existence. When brought sud-
denly to the rim Of what has been
called the Divine Abyss" he turned
his head away, covered his eyes, and ex-
claimed, II don't believe 1t is real!'
The, Canyon has been cut out by the
Colorado River In the course Of little
matter of time like 20.00O.oO0 years. The
cutting has been done through horizon
tai layers of rock Of various sorts and
colors, one above the other. 1t is now
from 5000 to 1000 feet deep. from Is to
Is miles across, and about 200 miles long.

from time immemorial The Spaniards
saw 1t, and rumors floated East concern
ing it early in the last century. Mai

ton party, came through the Canyon in

Some think that Hance. living for so
many years in what is called the awful
hush of the Canyon" should be dumb.
But he is not-far from It! He can tell
you how the Canyon came to be. and he
can point out the great architectural
structures carved out by the river. and
tell you the names that have been given
them. Hance lived there during the
years in which a visit to the Canyon was

cream may be used in various ways
In making cottage cheese, mullins, waf-
