Mr.. USHER GOES ON STRIKE
No Vegetable Garden for Him This
Year II He Knows Himself, and
He Thinks He Does.

"A seed catalogue arrived in this
mornings mail" remarked Mrs. Usher
to her husband. I'VE might plan out
our spring garden while these long
winter evenings last"
I'VE will start the fire with the
seed catalogue in the morning" re-
turned Usher. There will be no gar
den this year. 1t Is all we can do
to buy vegetables without buying
seeds.
Last year we bought SO worth of
nine dollars worth OF digging.
And we had to buy our vegetables
just the same.
This year we shall do away with
the seed, the machinery and the hired
man and have more vegetables.
Darn it! Last spring after the man
had dug nine dollars out of me. and
the hardware man had fooled me out
of $12, and the seed man had seeded
me to the tune Of SO, l went out one
balmy Saturday afternoon to look at
my garden. There was nothing to be
seen there except one beet and a few
million weeds.
while engaged in killing the mil
lions Of weeds exterminated the beet
crop with one fell swoop Of my trusty
but inaccurate hoe!"
But the vegetables are 80 sweet
and fresh out Of your own garden!"
pleaded Mrs. Usher.
"Oh, yes, they are sweet and fresh.
all right" bleated her husband. I'VE
had a tomato bush last spring. We
had the bush while the stores had the
tomatoes. We didn't buy any toma-
toes. We had our own and they would
soon be ripe.
"Hucksters brought tomatoes to our
door. and the neighbors bought tcma-
toes piled up so high that they spilled
on the sidewalk
II went out and looked at our bush.
We had two little green tomatoes that
looked like peas. When tomatoes we're
a nickel a peck one Of those tomatoes
sickened and died. and the other got
nearly ripe on one side.
when Aunt Eudora brought US five
bushels of tomatoes from her farm
our tomato bush took sudden start
and shed tomatoes in abundance as
long as Aunt Eudora's tomatoes lasted.
That's the way 1t is with our gar
den. The digging around is all the
fun we get out Of 1t.
Anybody who thinks that digging
is fun has a keener sense Of humor
than have"

THOUGHT HE'D FOUND HELL
Wonderful Natural Curiosity Was
Considered insane.

At recent gathering in Milwaukee
a well-known minister was called on
to tell story, and this is what he
told:
did you ever hear OF Coulter's
hell? OF the two men lost by the
great Lewis and Clark expedition OF
1903 on its long journey through the
Northwest, one was a man named
Coulter. He was captured by Indians,
who stripped him and set him to rum
ming the gantlet.
"Outrunning their blows, he snatched
a spear from the last Indian, killed
him with it, and ran into the noun
tains, naked and wounded, but at last
free and armed. Wandering toward
the southeast he presently found him
self in a land where the forces of ma
ture appeared to have gone mad to-
gether. Rivers from which he sought
to drink ran hot water. boiling foun-
tains gushed hundreds of feet in the
air, VOLCANOES of black mud vomited
at him, bubbling fountains of snow
white mud gushed around, with 9TH
ers of crimson and blue and green.
A mountain of pure sulphur crystals
rose on one hand, and from beside a
stream rose another composed Of
black glass, almost as clear as a win
dow pane.
AT last, escaping from the place, he
was found by some trappers. who
clothed him and took him to ST. Louis.
where they reported him as one whose
mind had been wrecked by his expert
ences. Wherever he told of the fright
full country which he swore he had
yarn, and made him tell and retell it.
till within few years it went all over
the West as an example Of the effect
of the horrors of being lost on the hui
man mind. It was commonly known
as the story OF Coulter's hell, and
under that name it frequently APP
peared In eastern papers in the early
'30s and 40. Coulter himself finally
died, regarded to the last as a hope
less maniac.
And then, in 1869, some Montana
trappers wandered into the region and
came back with the astounding tale
that Coulter had told the truth, and
had never been insane at all. The
government Immediately rushed sol
diers and scientists into the country.
and before long it became the Yellow
stone National park. And that is the
story of Coulter's hell.
1T strikes me, however" added the
minister, that the story has q moral
Ito the effect that there is a certain
other hell, in whose existence some
people still do not believe. but of
whose reality they are likely yet to
learn

MUSTN'T TALK TOO MUCH

The city physicians and members
of the board of health are Justly in
dignant over the reports that have
been Circulated about the Ill health
of the city. 1t was reported yester-
day that there were a large number
of cases of typhoid fever, some Wild
eyed alarmists going so far as TO
place the number at 100.
The Star has investigated. and has
not been able to hear OF more than
three cases. In one of these the pa
tient has recovered and will leave
the hospital for home next week.
Another case, If it is typhoid, was
contracted in some town distant
from Ocala The third case has not
been officially pronounced typhoid.
Three cases in a town of 5000
people and several hundred trans
tents is probably a cleaner record
than any other place of the size can
show.
Most people are not aware of the
fact, but according to the state law
it is serious offense to spread re-
ports about contagious diseases. Any
person who circulates such rumor
is liable to fine and imprisonment
Ii any citizen wants to know the
exact truth in such cases, he should
ask the president of the city board
of health, who will always give re-
liable Information. People shouldn' t
jump to conclusions about such mat
tiers, let alone spread the reports.

The Broken "conspIraey."

The conspiracy of silence" IL bro
ken. OF that no one can doubt. The
phrase may be suffered to lapse into
oblivion. In its day 1t was a menace.
and few of us would now advocate the
deliberate ignoring OF things not to be
denied. Few of US would care to see
the rising generation as uninstructed
in natural laws as we were, as adrift
amid the unintelligible. or partly IN
telligible things of life. But surely
the breaking Of silence need not imply
the opening of the hood-gates OF
speech. It was never meant by those
who first cautiously advised a clearer
understanding Of sexual relations and
hygfenfc rules that everybody should
chatter freely respecting these grave
issues; that teachers. lecturers. novel
lists, story writer's. militants, dramat-
lists, social workers and magazine ed
itors should copiously impart all they
know. or assume they know, to the
world, writes Agnes Reppler in the
Atlantic. The lack OF restraint, the
lack Of balance, the lack Of sober
ness and common sense, were never
more apparent than in the obsession
of sex which has set us all a-babbling
about matters once excluded from
the amenities Of conversation.
