The Return of a Dreamer

One evening they We're sitting before

'Mr. and Mrs. Hogden, | believe"

"You have the advantage of us"
said Hogden.
The stranger stood looking fran the
baldheaded, gray bearded husband to
the fat elderly wife.
Il am Leland Wilton"
You don't say so,' exclaimed Hog

Now. Il similar scene to this had been
drawn in Whiton's novel that Hogden
had appropriated. Wilton had ham

CAN'T BRIDE WOMEN VOTERS

Giving candy and chewing gum to
women electors, treating men electors
to drinks and cigars or entertaining
any electors at dinner or theater par
ties to influence their votes is made a
misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of
$50 to 500 or Imprisonment for not
less than thirty days nor more than
nine months, by a bill introduced by
Representative ]. C. Carrig in the Colo
RADIO legislature recently.
Electors who accept such gifts would
be adjudged guilty in the same degree
and suffer the same punishment as the
person making the gift.
Solicitation of gifts or entertainment
is made grounds for the challenging OF
the electors vote and the rejection of
the vote at the following election.

literature, but unfortunately
after the school he was fitted
for had had its day. His
friend Forbes Hogden used to poke fun
at him for writing poems and stories
that no publisher would accept.
why don't you get down to what
people want to read?' said Hogden.
81 can't write what isn't in me- re-
piled Wilton despondently. ITO por-
tray natural emotions authors must
experience them. 1t seems to me the
most popular writer's of the present
day imagine things, then turn Il lurid
light on them and photograph the
whole. l have written one work every

but really. l would like to see it pub
lished."
You never will, because there would
be nc money in 1t for a publisher.
Still. If you care to let me have it I'll
turn it in at Sharp, Bliss & Co.'S and
praise it all / can"
The next day Hogden, who really
had a good opinion of his friends abil-
tiles, received the manuscript and
tossed it into a drawer, intending to
read it before submitting it to the pub
fishers. 1t lay in that drawer five
years. Meanwhile Wilton, who with
out any income could not marry his
heroine, drifted away to unknown
lands. Then a report came that he
was dead.
One day Hogden came acros the
manuscript his friend had left with
him five years before. Hogden was
writing stories in the current vein,
from which by writing a great many
of them he made a passable living.
He read the manuscript and saw a
great deal in it. Since there was no
living owner he concluded to appropri-
ate it to himself. He cut out the ideal
ity, threw a lot of Greek fire into it
and published it under his own name
as a novel of the period.
The book proved a phenomenal sue
cess. Hogden made a lot of money out
of it and, having established his liter
airy name. wrote other books with all
the Greek fire, but with none of the
feeling of the one he had appropri-
ated. Having accumulated a compe-
tency, it occurred to him to marry and
make u home for himself.
Now. it happened that Wilton had
introduced himself to the heroine of
his novel and the lady OF his love.
hogden went to see her, talked Il great
deal about his old friend Wilton, his
impracticability, his incompetency and
his ideality. all of which he classed in
the same category. He told her what
he had done with Whiton's work and
ended by saying:
"All this money | have made has
been coined out of Whiton's emotions,
of which you were the exciting cause.
| think you are entitled to a share in
the proceeds. You can have half and
all at my death if you survive me by
marrying me-"
The lady was of a practical turn of
mind. without fortune and withal get

the offer.

Plants

Rows should be three or three II
one-half feet apart. They can be
wider. The distance to set the plants
in the row depends upon the varieties
planted. If plants are set early in the
spring. from eighteen to thirty inches
is enough in good seasons for average
plants. Extra prolific plants can be
set twenty-four or thirty inches apart
and produce a good row. The poorer
plants should be set from fifteen to
twenty inches apart.
The main object in setting the plants
is to get the dirt firmly pressed around
the plant. not only at the top. but
down to the bottom Of the root, 50
there will be no air space left causing
the plants to dry out. Trim the roots
to three or four inches in length and
he careful to set the plant the proper
depth in the ground. No part of the
root should be exposed. The crown
should never be covered.
Cultivate your plants often. but be
careful not to injure the plants. The
width Of the rows should not exceed
eighteen to twenty-five inches.
\ great deal of hoeing will have TO
be done. Keep the field free from
weeds the entire year. Do not stop
cultivation because there are no weeds.

HATPINs MUST GO

The wearing by women of hatpins
that are a menace to the travelling pub
lie must be prohibited in Massachu-
sets, according to the legislative COM
mittee which, after hearing both men
and women on the subject, recommend
ed the adoption of a law making it a
misdemeanor for a woman to permit
the pointed end of a pin to protrude
more than half an irch from the side
of her hat, unless the end is covered
with some device rendering it harm
less.
The most serious argument made
against the legislation was that women
sometimes were compelled to draw
their hatpins quickly and use them as
weapons with which to protect them
selves.

CHURCH A TITANIC MEMORIAL


Ground has been broken in Philadel-
phia for the erection of a new church
to be built by st. Michael's Russian
Orthodox church as a memorial to the
victims of the Titanic disaster. If the
present plans of the congregation are
realized the cornerstone will be laid on
the first anniversary of the sinking Of
the vessel.
The plans as submitted by the archi-
tects call for a $4,000 structure. The
congregation of the CHURCH and the
rector, Rev. j. L. krohmalney, hope,
however, to secure sufficient funds to
warrant the use of finer materials in
the building. Following the idea of the
Titanic memorial, the rector is making
an appeal to wealthy survivors of the
wreck in several eastern cities. During
the three years of the existence of the
churches services have been held in the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the Ad-
vent.

FARMERS DEBT TO THE BIRDS |
Statistics Collected Prove Them Most
Valuable Destroyers of Insect
Eneuies Of the Crops.

1t is interesting to observe that
hungry birds-and birds are hungry
most of the time--are not content to
fill their stomachs with insects or
seeds, but after the stomach is stuffed
until it will hold no more, continue to
eat till the crop or outlet is crammed.
It is often the case that when the
stomach is open, and the contents
piled up, the pile is two or three
times as large az the stomach was
when filed Birds may truly be said
to have healthy appetites. To show
the astonishing capacity of a birds
stomach, and to reveal the extent to
which man is indebted TO birds for
the destruction of noxious insects,
these facts are given, as learned by
stomach examinations made by assis-
tantG of the biological survey.
A tree swallows stomach was found
to contain 10 entire clincb bugs and
fragments of many others, besides ten
other species of insects. A bank swal-
low in Texas devoured 6S cotton boil
weepiIs. and IS cliff swallows had
taken an average of IS boil weevfls
each. Two stomacbs of pine siskins
from Haywards, Cal, contained 1900
black olive scales and 900 piany lice.

Criminals and Benefits.

Following the conviction of Mrs.
JEANNE Baxter for manslaughter, the
victim being her lover, Julian Bernard
Hall, the English aviator, with-a SEN
tence Of three years penal servitude
has come a suit by Mrs. Hall for
half his estate of $4,000, which had
been left to her by will. The legal
axiom was emphasized by sthe pro-
bate court. which ruled that a Grim
9nal must not benefit as the result of
his or her crime. The famous May
brick case is recalled. Mrs. May
brick, convicted of numbering her hus-
band. had assigned her interests In
her husbands insurance money to a
third party. In an action brought by
this party against the insurance CON-
pany in question the court ruled that
Mrs. Maybrick could not assert any
title TO her dead husbands estate.
