Diversified AarlcuIturA

The value of Hungary's agricultural returns does not depend upon sev. eral large crops or on the products of certain specified branches of agri- culture, but rather on the great diver sity of it's products, for there Is prob. ably no country in Europe in which so many branches of agriculture are carried on.

Didn't Bury the Hatchet.

Bowers was riding from his subur-
ban home to the city one morning, &C.
cording to the captain, when an &C
quaintance from an adjacent burg got
aboard. Eventually the chirp led up
to gardening.
Say, Bowers" suddenly remarked
the acquaintance, do you and your
neighbors still quarrel about that dog
of his that used to dig out your
flowers and vegetables?"
'Oh, no" was the prompt response
Of Bowers. I'VE haven't had a quar-
rel for some time"
Fine" smilingly commented the
other. Il suppose you buried the
hatchet?"
NO" was the grim rejoinder Of the
commuter, Il buried the dog. "-Phila-

ROPE ON THE WRONG TOE
Mr.. Benners Little Mistake Probably
Required Considerable Amount
Of Explanation.

Speaking Of the unreliability OF
some alarm clocks, Senator Jacob H.
Gallinger of New Hampshire said he
was reminded Of party named Sam
Benners.
Sam, who was great gunner, made
arrangements to go on hunting trip
at an early hour in the morning, but,
having no faith In alarm clocks, he
sought the services of the night COD
on the corner
"J1m," said he, instructing the cop,
when go to bed tonight l am going
to tie one end of cord around my
big toe and throw the other end out
of the window. At four o'clock In the
morning | want you to pull on the
rope and keep on pulling until l tell
you to stop"
"All right, SAM" smiled the police
man, you will find me on the job"
Late that night Sam crawled In, and
after adjusting the rope according to
schedule, he was soon in the land of
dreams. Hardly had he slept min
ute, he thought, when he was awak-
ened by frightened cry, and then
more cries, and to his horror he saw
Mrs. Sam slowly sliding out Of bed
and going feet first toward the win
dow.
"Geel" he exclaimed as the truth
suddenly dawned upon him, Il must
have tied the rope to the wrong toe!"

HER GLOOMY POEM
BY HAROLD CARTER.

What can do for you, madam" in.
CURED Jim Bryce, editor Of the -Four
Corners Sentinel" as the little old
lady approached his desk timidly.
II want you to publish a poem on
my daughter jane she said. Il writ
It myself ! hadn't thought had the
gift Of poetry till l was along on sew
enty, but when Jane took mad and
died up to the asylum 1t sort Of loos-
ened me up"
Jim Bryce, being only twenty-five,
and sympathetic by nature, took the
ill-scrawled manuscript and read as
follows:
God held thee, Jane! Such pains she had
That she in half year was mad
And in a prison housed:
And there, with many a doleful song
Made of wild words, her cup Of wrong
She fearfully caroused.
Farewell, and when thy days are told,
Inflated Jane, in hallowed mould
Thy corpse shall buried be,
For thee a funeral bell shall ring,
And all the congregation sing
A Christian psalm for thee.
Excellent, madam" said Jim Bryce
automatically, but don't you think it
Is little too gloomy for the 'Senti.
nell to PUBLISH"
Gloom does folks good" said the
old lady Besides, want to get my
name printed l haven't never had
any Of my poems printed yet, and If
folks likes this I've got nigh on

but those stairs are steep. Now then.
When's that poem Of mine going to
appear?"
Why, Mrs. Saunderson, wouldn't
you like to try US with something a
little less gloomy?" inquired Jim. You
know" he added, with what seemed a
clever thought, often the best poets
In the world find difficulty in having
their earlier work accepted"
Accepted? But you have accepted
IT." shrilled Mrs. Saunderson.
We'll, madam, an accepted poem
has to wait till 1t can find its place."
said Jim. "You see, we have SO much
news nowadays, with the political
campaign coming on"
Jim Bryce" said the old woman,
when you was little boy found you
sitting in my apple tree eating one of
my County Greens, and when l axed
what you were doing there you said
you'd gone up to see If 1t was a-going
to rain, and you was eating an apple
that you'd found in the grass And it's
my belief that you're prevaricating
now, Just as you did then Come, speak
UP like a man and tell me when that
POEMS going to appear"
Never" answered Jim angrily. II
didn't want to hurt your feelings, but,
since you insist, it isn't good enough
for the Sentinel"
1T isn't, eh?" Knocked the old lady,
producing small volume from under
her arm and opening It. Read that"
Jim Bryce looked at the volume. 1t
was the Poems of Wordsworth, and,
on the page indicated, he found the
two stanzas, intact, except that the
original version had the name Ruth
instead of Jane.
Wordsworth He stared incredu.
lously at the verses. Certainly they
did look better on the printed page
But Wordsworth!
Nov, I've caught you fair, Jim
Bryce" said Mrs. Saunderson. "They
told me an editor didn't know good
poetry from bad, and thought I'd try
you out, and I've done So Now you
can't find no excuse for refusing to
print my verses"
She pulled bulky package from
under the bombazine.
Here's one on our calf, Sally, what
took sick but Is getting better" she
said, unfolding the scrawly papers.
And here's one to the new moon.
And here's one about my grandson
William, on cutting his first tooth.
And here's one on our pet rooster,
what came to an untimely end through
Steve's axe, by accident-no joke In
tended. And here's one Why Art
Thou Old, My Soul?'"
Jim Bryce rose to the occasion.
Mrs. Saunderson," he said, you
have deceived me- Worse, you have
deceived the Sentinel Had | printed
that poem-which knew not to be
original, though could not locate the
source for the time-I should have
been the laughing-stock OF the county.
Mrs. Saunderson, the Sentinel can no
longer consider contributions from
you"
And at this ultimatum, hurled with
the utmost Indignation Jim freed the
Sentinel" from Mrs. Saunderson for
ever.

Nov Then, When's That Poem Of
Mine Going to APPEAR"

Quire Of 'em I'll bring around to YOU
Jim dismissed little old Mrs. Saun.
derson with sort of promise, but,
when she was gone, he sat scratching
his head in perplexity. He was a
young man and had young mans
ambition to make his paper a medium
Of culture In Four Corners. And to
print such doggerel as that would be
to hold up the Sentinel" to contempt
and execration.
Perhaps, being a young man, he
oyerestimated the popular apprecia.
tion of poetry In his native town. At
any rate, he could not bring himself
to insert it. He laid it aside in a
pigeon-hole.
why hain't my poem appeared In
the Sentinel this week." inquired lit
tie Mrs. Saunderson, meeting the edi
tor on the street the day after the
weeklys next appearance.
why, Mrs Saunderson, I thought
I'd better hold 1t over a while" an.
swered Jim. you know we are over.
stocked with contributions of all kinds
and 1t Is little difficult"
Mrs. Saunderson cut him short "All
right, Mr.. Bryce, I'll wait TIL next
week." she said. "Only It's sort OF
Disappointing, because folks Is asking
why 1t hain't been printed yet"
That was the beginning Of weeks
of nightmare for Jim Bryce. Each
week, after the Sentinel had come
out, he lived In terror OF meeting the
little old woman with her persistent
questions He went home through
side streets, he lodged every little
figure in black bombazine, and he
seemed to develop an uncanny instinct
OF knowing when any female of ad.
vanced age was coming round cor.
ner. Fortunately the Office In which
the Sentinel" was prepared for pub
lication was at the top of two high
flights Of stairs, and Mrs. Saunderson
was asthmatic.
However, the issue could not long
be postponed. He had encountered
her three times, and each time he
had put her on with excuses. He had !
given almost promise that the poem
should appear in the next issue Of his !
paper. And he felt driven against the
wall; he saw no escape except TO de-
liver such brutal blow as should put
an end to her persecution forever.
Come what might, he could not give
such drivel to the educated readers Of
the Sentinel"
He was seated In his ONCE about
four o'clock on the afternoon succeed
ing the appearance Of the Sentinel"
when the familiar, hated figure ap-
peared through the door.
"Ah, good afternoon. Mrs. Saunder>
son." said jim. What can / do for
you today?" /
you ought to know well enough
why come" answered the old wo-
man, holding her sides and painting.
Just wait till get my wind again.

BRITISH TROOPS
ON WAY TO FRONT

Havre, Nov. 13.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press. )vDuring the
last week colonial and territorial
troops have been arriving from Eng
land by the thousands. A part Of
Kitchener's new army is expected
soon and the huts and foored tents
now being erected in the outskirts Of
Havre are said to be for it's reception.
The best trained territorial troops,
which have been over here long
enough to be somewhat acclimatized
and broken into the ways Of the coun-
try are already being moved up to-
ward the north to take their places
in the reserves. AS soon as thought
fit by the commanders, they will be
moved into the first line of battle.
The soldiers in the British expedi
tionary force are kept under iron dis
cipline in one respect, and those who
become unfit for duty through their
own fault are sent back to England in
disgrace.
If officers violate Kitchener's orders
it means cashierment.
Tommy Atkins has nothing but
praise for the French people. Some
troops marched past the market place
in Havre the other day. according to
an American there at the time, and
the old fruit women held out their bas-
kets for the soldiers to help them.

to them, for their earnings area mat.
