The storm began Thursday night

Tonic of Outdoor Life.

Outdoor life, contact with the earth,
the digging, the wheeling OF barrow.
even the quiet contemplation of I'M
folding animal and plant life, are bet
ter tonics and restorers than any man
has devised,
There was one gardener who did
wonders for himself at the very pro.
sale task Of digging holes. Through a
period Of three years he dug 400 holes
for trees and shrubs. He was three
times as strong. he asserted. at the
expiration of that time than ever be-
fore, and he weighed twenty pounds
more. The improvement in his atti-
tude toward life was too great to es-
innate.
During all that time he had been
working in the open air he had
"found"-although this particular gar
dener was no poet, and didn't express
it in just this fashion-''tongues in
trees, books in the running brooks, SER
mons in stones and good in every
thing" including himself.-New York
Post.

Didn't Watch His Watch.

In a subway crowd not long ago a
New York man was touched" for his
watch. The watch was not intrinsical-
ly valuable, but the New York man
wanted it back for sentimental rea-
sons and inserted divers advertise
ments in the papers offering $50 for
the return of the watch and mo ques-
tons asked"
The dip" who had lifted the
watch saw the advertisements and
concluded to take the $50. He called
on the New York man. handed him the
timepiece and demanded the reward.
The owner of the watch was only
too happy to give it to him. After ex-
amining the watch he returned 1t to
his pocket and handed over five ten
dollar bills. The dip" pocketed the
money and departed. There was little
said
A few minutes later the New YORK
man reached for his watch.
But it was gone.-New York Tribune.
