fellow get lot of pointers by watching a
tomato plant.
1t doesn't make big noise it grows 1t builds
up its cells in the silence of the summer night when
not soul is in sight.
To be sure the soil must be right, though tomato
plant will grow in almost any old soil.
And there has to be sunshine and rain and the
caress of cleansing winds-if there daylight
IL would die.
But its big building up is done in the cool and quiet
night beneath the patient stars with playing to
the galleries. And though days it grows faster
than Others it grows little every day, cell upon cell
ceaslessy, irresistibly.
As it grows, it shoots out suckers-little stems in
the forks of its skeleton. If you want the best fruit
you'd better pinch these suckers off For they grow
to stalk and are valueless, like bad habits.
1t also needs to be propped up otherwise its juicy
bulbs would bend down upon the damp ground and
rot. It's not wholly an individualist, you see.
Finally. it invites great green, horny -pronged
worms which ftten its juices like privilege upon
the poor You can't compromise with these worm
pests If you wish to your tomatoes-you've got
to knock them off and put your heel on 'em.
Yes, tomato plant is instructive. And to think
that once folks thought it was deadly poisonous.
Like democracy, it wasn't understood.

My Dear Boys
Before going into the actual
details of building these little au-
tomobiIes, / want to tell you how
our boys in Los Angeles handle
their business affairs.
In the first place they have
their own club, IL Is called the
Junior Racing Association OF
America. All the boys who own
machines OF are building them
and a lot who still own push
mobiles are members and they
help each other in the actual
building of the machines.
Take for example the story of
Sid Holland who now owns a fast
PuegeOt. Sid first got an old
single cylinder motorcycle en-
CINE, which cost him So. He
made a frame of two pieces of
two by three about four feet
long. On this he mounted his
engine. on the side so that the
engine pulley wheel would be in
line with the rear wheel pulley.
He then took two old iron wheel
barrow wheels and mounted them
on an axel. On one of these
wheels he fastened a wood pull
ley wheel, which was beited d.
rectly to the engine. The front
wheels were two old bicycle
wheels without tires that were
mounted on a piece of three
quarter-inch shaft.
In the middle of this shaft he
put a bolt that held the front of
the frame and this was connect
ed to the steering wheel by a
piece of rope. Sid had most all
of this stuff given to him from
the junk piles of the bicycle
shop. He sold this car for SIS
and built a better one. using 20
inch wheels all around. Now a
prominent cycle house seeing his
grit, gave him a good engine to
use for the ad. Sid is a poor

well of the big. black bird that
makes South American forests
echo with his COOS and caws that
she gave him an umbrella all his
own and grew 1t right on to his
head so that he can never mislay
1t.
There's nothing very stylish
about ii with its white ribs and
black top. It's a plain, durable
article, much better than any
thing you could pick up In a de-
partment store, and il seems to
satisfy the umbrella bird very
well.

MARVELLOUS. MARVELLOUS!

Conan Doyle, creator of Sher-
lock Holmes, had an odd expert
ence with a cabman in Paris. The
cabby startled the author by ad-
dressing him by name, and when
asked to explain, he said:
Il read in the papers that Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle was to ar
rive in Paris from Nice, after
stopping at Marseilles and Lyons
ON the way. Now l see that you
have your hair cut in the Mar
settles fashion, and there ia
Lyons mud still on your boots.
Therefore you must be Sir
Doyle"
Sir Arthur, amazed at the ex-
hfbition of "sherlocking," per-
sisted. But was that all the
evidence you had?"

There was nothing unusual about
Davis fighting on the Union side. for
in the border states whole Federal

him abusing Confederates with the ac-

Davis in other respects was Il good

seemed to have 40 selliShness in his
nature-indeed, was Il type of the real
southern gentleman. We wondered
why he had not been able to obtain Il
commission. but he reminded us that
the flower of the Maryland population
was on the southern side. Maryland
was not a good state for northerners
