Where the Road 10 Water.

After few weeks began to per-
ceive that Schiedam and similar
places, though thrilling, were not the
whole of Holland, and perhaps not
the most representative of Holland.
AS the yacht worked northward Hol-
land seemed to grow more Dutch, un-
til, in the chain of shallow lakes and
channels that hold Friesland In a sort
of permanent baptism. we came to
what was for me the ideal or celestial
Holland-everything done by water,
even grass cut under water, and black
Jand-white cows MIXED In the midst of
ponds, and windmills over the eternal
fairness used exclusively to shift In
convenient water from one level to an
other. The road is water in Friesland,
and all the world Is on the road. II
your approach to town Is made peril

obstinately keep the middle Of the
channel, you know that 1t IL market

e almost powerless to Guell the argu-
ment that ensues.
Why wouldn't she wish from the
depth of her troubled heart that she
had a husband to keep the young
folks within bounds? That's not the
least Of her worries. It's no easy mat
ter to provide not only fashionable
attire. but the necessities of life, for
would-be social climbers. She knows
by experience where there's q man at
the head Of family he cannot shirk
paying the bills II he would hold his
head up In the community. II he
marries widow with six children, he
knows there's eight to provide for in
stead Of two had he taken a single
woman.
It Is safe to believe that the man
who assumes the position of being at
the head Of the house, when he
marries widow with six children, has
every reason to hope for seven times
as much love in that home as II they

A widow knows how to appreciate
man. The loneliness she is forced
to endure makes her sympathetic and
eliminates the harshness, II any,
which might have been in her dis
position.
Having large family on her hands
causes her to think twice ere being
too independent with her second hus-
band. Experience teaches her that
she must be help or hindrance to
him. AS a bachelor, 1t was the bane
of his life not to be able to shoe Off
friends whom he did not want, who
invariably dropped In of an evening.
Her past acquaintance gave her the
knowledge Of Just who would be the
right kind Of friends for him to enter
tain and those who were not Chill

there's just two left In the home-the
head Of the family and his helpmate.

NEED FOR CAREFUL PLANNING
Areas Should Be Made Matter
Of Careful ConsIde ration.

The first essential in the adornment
Of home area Is the formation Of a
suitable plan. In making this plan
the principal things to be considered
are the size of the area, the amount
which the owner feels able to expend
for the purpose, the climatic condi-
tons. the soil, the exposure, the pc
cularities Of the site, and the style Of
treatment, whether formal or natural.
Small places, consisting Of an acre
or less, situated amongst others Of like
dimensions. can only be appropriately
improved in a formal style. On the
other hand, large suburban places or
country seats should, in order to main
tain unity and harmony with their sur
roundings, be treated In the natural
style.
1t Is impossible to develop forest.
park, or even a grove on an area
less than an acre In extent; and 1t Is
equally impossible to maintain foun-
tains, terraces, sheared trees, hedges,
and carpet bedding over an area OF
several acres.
ADSAOAO q ~ 90 Vi hAuO 10 PhaSSa 80
Its permanent location an outline map
Of the area to be treated should be
made. This map should locate all ex-
listing structures, indicate the direc-
ton in which most pleasing outlooks
are to be had. and also the contour Of
the ground to be beautified. The aim
should be to hide by means Of trees
and shrubbery all Objectionable build
ings or portions of the place, and also
to shut from view all unsightly OBJ
jects maintained by neighbors.
To harmoniously arrange trees,
shrubs, and herbaceous plants, and at
the same time adjust them to the con-
tour of the place, to the architecture
Of the buildings, and to the conven-
ience Of the walks and drives, Is the
aim of the landscape gardener. Every
successful attempt to adorn a city lot,
suburban place, or q park has q
valuable influence upon the commun-
lily In which 1t Is situated. 1t fur
nishes an object lesson which others
will attempt to follow, and In this way
1t serves the useful purpose Of stim-
ulating In others a love for the beau
tiful In nature.

He takes after his cold, austere, un-
demonstrative mother, whose heart is
In the right place, but she has no
way of showing it.
To the jolly girl who was used to
balls and parties, after-theater sup

sma-hours, ere she met her quiet beau
the rule of closing the house at nine

In vain she appeals to her young

her way Of living now"
But don't want to live midst old

the bride. There's no such thing as
having cup Of chocolate brought to
ones room. This Is house of rule"
she goes on desperately. "One has to
be up at six-thirty, breakfast at seven
by the minute, keep at household
duties till twelve, thirty minutes for
luncheon Of cheese, crackers and
weak tea"
A guest dropping in of an afternoon
is looked upon with holy horror.
One has to converse with jolly
friends in whispers lest the sound Of
laughter should get beyond the crack
of the parlor door. Dinner is served
at six sharp.
There's no bit Of news discussed
over the teacups; no delicious bit Of
scandal rolled mischievously over the
tongue. Disposing quietly of the
viands set before one is attended to

and read or retire as one pleases. But
the fires are banked up for the night

cat, who detests rules, must be In.
The doors are locked and securely
bolted thereafter. The house Is given
over to darkness and silence. The

her in an environment which chills
jolly girls may become sedate wives.
Up to that time they want their fling
Of pleasure, while youth and the relish
for enjoyment are theirs. Taking a
bride home to live with his parents
sounds delightful, but doesn't always
work out well. Jolly hearts change
soon enough. The married couple will
be living together long after the
parents are gone.

THE SHADOW OF BETTER DAYS.

Dear. II your future life should need
A strength my love can only gain
Through sufferings or my heart be freed
Only by sorrow from some stain,
Then you shall give and I will take
This crown Of fire for loves dear
sake.
A woman who has had a taste Of
luxury and is obliged to get down to
the bare necessities Of life to make
ends meet forgets to look for sun
shine. seeing only the shadows.
Her greatest charm had been her
ambition-her confidence In herself,
and her winning smile, which opened
all hearts to her. A little cog had
slipped In the wheel Of fate, and her
fortune had gone down with 1t. The
woman who has been mistress of a
home Of her own, In a lcongenial at
mosphere, and is obliged to part with
1t, moving into humble quarters, midst
uncongenial surroundings and people,
Is apt to lose heart.
A man meets vicissitudes grimly,
plunging into business to forget and
retrieve his fallen fortunes. The wom-
an who has no oar to help herself
sees her craft drift idly about, pushed
out by one wave only to be driven
back by another until hope is gone
Her apathy and despair those about
her imagine to be dignity. They hold
aloof from her. 1t is the worst thing
a woman can do, to give herself up to
brooding. 1t does no good. Her lam
entations make her husbands bur
dens the worst to bear. She who
makes the best Of everything is God
given sunbeam to the man who is al
most down and out. No matter how
heavy her heart may be, she should
force herself to smile, II but to en-
courage him. She should say to him:
See! The sun shines Just as warmly
and golden in this pleasant hall bed
room as 1t used to In our pretty dining
room in other days. 1t seems to bear
BE light of heart while the world is
bright. gid hope and Danish black
despair"
The woman who sits down and cries
over the better days she has seen is a
laggard on life's journey. There's
many things she might turn her
hands to which would not only help
her out of the slough of want, but be
of inestimable benefit to those whom
she loves. Pride will never bring
bread and butter to the woman who
is starving. Honest employment will.
If she knows the earning Of money, it
will never slip through her fingers a
second time 1t is useless to grieve
over that that can't be helped. The
woman who has seen better days
should strive to make use OF her
knowledge. She should awaken the
energies within her that are dormant.
She who weeps has dismal thoughts,
soon grows wor1d-weary and haggard.
She who rises above her environments
renews her youth and charms as her
hopes brighten with promise.

CANADAs HUGE GRAIN BINS
Port Arthur Paper 10 Peeved at the
Mention OF Kansas City Elevators.

From the Port Arthur (Canada) Evening Chronicle
Kansas City gains the attention OF
the New York Evening Post and 10
given five inches Of space In that adj
mirable newspaper by reason Of in
creasing the capacity of grain ele-
vator there. The Evening Post says:
"When the additions and alterations
to its huge grain elevator at Kansas
City now under way are completed the
Missouri Pacifc-Iron Mountain rail-
road will have one Of the largest
plants of its kind In the world"
The present capacity OF the Kansas
City product Is one million bushels.
When 1t gains its promised stature
and becomes lone of the largest In
the world" it will have capacity Of
2,133.000 bushels.
At the mention of grain elevators
the twin ports at the head OF the lakes
prick up their ears and take notice.
The name of Lloyd-George at a Tory
garden party, or of President Wilson
at bankers convention catches at
tention no quicker than the word "ele-
vator" in the hearing Of Port Arthur.
Fort William man. Toronto prides
itself on its churches; Pittsburgh
specializes on millionaires; Chicago
has its pork and Boston its pork and
beans-as for us, we rise to fame on
the bins Of our elevators, and he who
says lone Of the largest" about any
old two-million-bushel outfit in Mis-.
souri, must withdraw the statement or
name the place and weapons.
If the Evening Post had said lone
Of the largest in Missouri" or in the
general but expressive American
phrase had said some elevator" we
wouldn't have minded it so much, but
when it describes this stunted Mis-
souri, receptacle as zone Of the largest
grain elevators in the world" then 1t
is time to kick. Why, two-million-
bushel elevators are so common here
abouts that the secretary Of the board
Of trade does not point them out to
distinguished visitors. Nothing could
show clearer than that what we think
Of two-million-bushel elevators.
When we have pointed to the $780,.
000-bushel c. N. R. elevator and the
7,S00,0 00-bushel G. p. r. elevator and
the $780, 00-bushel G.. r. P. elevator;
then to the $500, 0O0-bushel Dominion
Government elevator which Is only
the first unit of what Is to be a 30
million-bushel plant, by that time the
air Is so full of millions that the
listener would be annoyed If we both
cred him with mention Of a mere two
million-bushel affair. So we just lump
the balance together and describe the
grand total of 45-million-bushel capac-
ity already standing at the head Of
the lakes.
Upon the basis upon which Kansas
City got five inches of space in the
Evening Post we claim a compliment
tary writeup Of at least three columns
and in the article we would state that
In one respect we are like Kansas
City-when it is question Of big ele--
vators we also are from Missouri.
