MIR. FOX's SCHEME.

One day when Mr. Rabbit was gath
ering the last of his late vegetables
from his garden. Mr. Fox looked over
his fence.
Good morning, friend Rabbit" he
said: what fine vegetables you have;
you certainly are a lucky fellow to
have a friend like me to appreciate
them, and 1 will take the largest OF
them home with me. as 1 am larger
than you and need more to eat"
Mr.. Rabbit picked out the largest
and gave them to Mr. Fox Yes.
friendship is q great thing" he re-
marked; ct feel that I am greatly
blessed to be able to make my friends
happy
Later IN the winter when it grew
colder Mr. Fox said: Il really must
borrow Mr. Rabbits stove I know he
will be glad to lend it to me-"
He ran to Mr.. Rabbits and knocked
at the door. Good morning" he said.
II have come to borrow your stove
You can roll up in some straw in
corner
Yes, indeed" said Mr.. Rabbit, for
he thought Mr.. Fox the best friend he
ever had because he borrowed SO
much. "If he did not think so much
of me-" he said, 'he would borrow
from someone else.''
So Mr.. Fox carried off Mr.. Rabbit 6
stove. and after q while he borrowed
all his food, so that when the spring
time came he had left Mr.. Rabbit with
hardly enough food to keep from
starving.
One morning Mr.. Fox saw him sit

surediy to have turned from Enid. He

the world as far as the beholder could
see.
1t was not until the apples were red
and rosy and many fallen to the ground
beneath the old tree that affairs turned
again toward the dramatic.
Tney, the five friends, were lolling
about In the cool of September twi-
light. when Vincent looked suddenly at
, Enid. His hand was In his vest pocket
and he drew 1T out and held out the
ring Enid had returned to him.
Dear" he said, and the friends drew
swift breath, Il want you to wear
this ring again. I have tried out all the
girls. 1 have spent long hours with
, the most attractive Of them and always
on the homeward way I wearied of
them and longed only for the one
woman whom I love and always will
love. If I live the appointed three-score
and ten can love just you. Enid. Won't
you marry me? He looked only at the
slim girl beside him.

Jimmy Rogers tried his best to assume
an Unconditional calm, but there was
no reality N anything save the hyster-
ical tensencss that was ending q crisis

six months.
Ends big startled eyes leapt toward
each of her friends and in flash she
saw the relief in each pair. She knew
that there was no outcome save one
and she did that which they were wait
ing for. She turned swiftly into the
arms that closed tightly about her. II
a sob shook her from head to foot it
was perhaps only Vincent who knew it.
The tide seems to have turned"
shouted Rogers. unable longer to re-
press the emotion that had gripped
him.
Vincent smiled happily over Ends
head. and she looked up and offered
a smile that came from the heart.
You two," said Sally Lund, had bet

stand these dramatic sketches. Our

Further and emphatic evidence Of the
prosperity that prevails in Kansas and
the financial stability Of the state is to
be found in the allotments Of cash by
the treasury department to assist in the
movement Of the fall crops. An aggre-
gate of $4,000. 900 Is thus distributed by
Secretary McAdoo among % states. and
Kansas gets the smallest amount, a
paltry $4,000. In other words, it is
deemed by the financial experts Of the
government that Kansas practically
doesn't need any assistance at all to
move its immense crops. This is a
feather worth while in the Kansas cap.

SCHOOL AND HOME GARDENING

With a special appropriation from
congress. the United States bureau OF
education has just begun the work
| or investigation and promotion OF
| home and school gardens. The new
division will be under the direction OF
! a specialist in school gardening and
an assistant. both OF whom are to be
experts in this form of educational
activity. Miss Ethel Gowans. a grad
uate OF the New York state college of
agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y, is tenn
porarily in charge of the work.
BY means of personal visitation,
correspondence and publications it is
the plan of the bureau to cooperate
with school boards throughout the
United States in school and home gar
den work. Investigation has already
shown that many cities have made
considerable progress in school gar
dens. but practically no information
on the subject is available. The first
task of the division will be to supply
this information.
Eventually it is hoped that every
city school will have a teacher en-
ployed twelve months in the year who

Claxton. the federal commissioner Of

School gardening will develop
habits or industry; an appreciation of
the value of money as measured in
terms of labor: and a realization that
every man and woman must make his
or her own living, and contribute to
the welfare Of the community.
Experiments already have shown
that with proper direction an average
child can produce on an eighth of an
acre of land from $50 to 500 worth
of vegetables. This would add more
to the support of the family than
could be purchased with the same
child's wages working in factory. shop
or mill. H..
IF children can contribute to the
families support while in school, it
will make 1t possible for them to at
tend school three or four years longer
than they do now. This is a thing
more and more desirable, since edu-
cation for life and citizenship can not
be obtained before the age of a."

and he continues:
Following are some of the reasons
why peace should reign within a year
possibly within six months:
The Franco-Prussian war cost
France $2.77 per man per day. The
Boer war cost England fl or 1886
per man per day. The Balkan war fig
ured $2.43 per man per day.
For the purpose Of this discussion,
we may as well disregard the Boer
war. owing to the long distance from
England to South Africa. and the ex-
recent estimate, viz: that of the
Balkan war ($2.43). is the best for our
purpose because conditions were more
nearly parallel to those prevailing in
the current unp1easantness," except
that in the Balkan war there were no
fleets of Zeppelins and aeroplanes; no
sQuadrons OF automobile trucks; no
automobile batteries; no 14-inch siege
guns or other expensive paraphernalia
now being used. A very conservative
estimate of the per man cost of the
present war would therefore be $3.50
