The statement that EkaIaka had

and simple. The road was view

s,oners last spring. and we be-
lleve would have been completed

why the Sentinel SO eagerly pull :

our surmise is correct. Our on

Many family has been well supplied
during the summer with what grows on
a single city lot
To be in line with the good plans the
newly organized w. II. M. S. has de-
cided to secure the help Of as many Of
the children as possible and have them
take seeds and plant both flowers and
vegetables on shares with the society
to help carry on the work of the Lord.
We would like as many children as
possible to undertake to raise some
flowers for use in decorating the church
and carrying to the sick, and for show
and use in the Harvest Home festival
which will be held next October for the
purpose of gathering up as much Of the
year work as possible. The fruit and
flowers will be brought to the church
either for sale or to be given direct to
the poor.
Land should be secured at once and
plowed this fall so that Jack Frost can
work his will upon the heavy soil.
Seeds will be furnished for spring
planting and a record kept Of the one
who makes the best record with the
seed given out.

Gardening.

From the Superior Telegram. February, 1913.
"God planted garden eastward in
Eden" He must have considered the
garden the best place Tor an Eden. If
man desired to get back to Eden at any
time, he has usually planted a garden.
1t would be interesting to note how
many great men have had, as the ideal
of their last days, quiet garden and
fruit patch. How many professional
and business men, also, see in it the
best way to spent the last years Of life.
But now comes one and declares that
the way to bring Eden to the city is to
cultivate the vacant lots and lot ends,
and make the swamp and desert to
blossom as a rose.
A certain doctor Of the city has
shown those VINO know his work what
can be done on the rear end Of a city
lot, and it is wonderful to behold.
Flowers, fruit and vegetables in pro-
fusion and for small family in abund-
ance. And such flowers and vegetables
"a little farm well TILED and little
house well filled, and title wife well
willed, ought to res .ore any one to a
state Of happiness.
If the vacant ground of this city
were as well used as the lot which is
here referred to. we should save thous-
ands of dollars, have more real comfort
and satisfaction, and keep more men
away from evil places.
Mr.. Maxwell, at the Commercial
club, told us what ought to be done by
training the children in the public
school to know how to prepare the soil,
select the seed and plant and tend the
garden, and that the garden should be
for home use and not in many cases
for sale. "Home-croft" is the high
sounding word he has selected TO tel
the old story of what our forebears
used to call 'raisin garden sass. = He
declares that "as we have become
richer, we have found the corner groc
cry much easier to work than the gar
den and we have lost the gentle arts o.
the mothers.
The Commercial club appointed {
committee to further the ideals which
were advocated by Mr. Maxwell. They
win assist in getting the lease of lots
or selling you one if you desire and il
every way encourage the planting anc
raising of a garden patch on every lot

who said she thought "the folks wert
too lazy to put in gardens. She haC

LUCKY MEETING FOR YOUTH
Resulted In His Acquiring Handsome
Wife and an Income OF Some
$4,000 Year.

dozen years ago fresh from the
school at Versailles came q young un-
der lieutenant of artillery, in his new
uniform returning from Normandy,
where he had been to see his brother.
On the train the young officer found
himself seated beside an old man, who,
like himself, was going to Paris.
They entered into conversation. An
amiable intimacy was established be-
tween the two travellers. At the west
station the old gentleman taking leave
Of the young officer, said: Il need a
son-in-law like you
Three months later the officer re-
turned to Normandy. He narrated the
incident of the journey to his brother.
and questioned him about the strange
companion.
q know this old fellow" responded
the brother. DO you know that be
offered you very pretty partner? His
daughter possesses an income Of a
hundred thousand francs"
Where is she? I'll go after her"
said the officer.
The brother made a sorrowful ges-
ture: Alas. you are a little late"
"Eh. what. is the young girl to be
married?'
No. her father was buried eight
days ago"
The lieutenant was silent for mo-
ment Il knew her father a visit OF
coincidence is imposed upon me-"
ORES sei in his best uniform he call
ed upon the lady. He spoke in the
most tender terms Of the old gentle
man. without doubt the prestige OF
the uniform was not without effect on
the young provincial, and the story as
in the pleasant dramas, ended with q
marriage The lieutenant is now a
prominent member of the chamber OF
| deputies,--Le Cri de Paris.

TRUTH GRUSHEDTO EARTH
BY FANNY ELLISON.

IT'S queer" said the little stenog-
rapher, but men haven't the least In
stinct OF honor. That Is true, at least,
SO far as this office force is concerned.
l mean the men aren't truthful"
Excepting bookkeepers," supple
mented the bookkeeper.
ooh, yes, didn't include book
keepers-or Office boys or clerks.
They don't count one way or the
other. / had reference to Mr.. Gray
and his type.
"Mr. Gray had long-distance tele-
phone call from New York today. l
was sitting waiting for him, so over
heard what he said The man at the
other end was mad about something
and Mr.. Gray was trying to pacify
him.
"'You know he said to the man in
New York, how clerical errors will
creep into letters and get overlooked.
I'm sorry didn't read over that let
ter more carefully. I'll see that 1t
doesn't happen againl
"Well, I was trembling In my
shoes, thinking it was some big mis-
take I'd made In writing letter, but
when Mr. Gray hung up the receiver
he smiled at me.
"Myn he said, That man has a
bad disposition. I promised to meet
him in New York last night and !
forgot it entirely But / made him
think it was only typographical
error In the date I gave him in my
letter--so it'll be all right for me to
meet him next week And he never
once thought about his having put the
blame for his mistake on my innocent
shoulders
But I'm not the only one. There's
poor Mr. Elliot. That man worked
nights for two solid weeks getting
that new card index system into
shape and when he got it finished
he was as proud of it as a peacock.
| didn't blame him a bit-for you
know what really good thing that
new index system is going to be.
but Mr.. Gray, who fully appreci,
ates the worth of it, didn't hesitate
to tell the president, right in my
very presence, that he'd had that lit
! tie system in mind for some time
and with Elliot's help he'd got it up!
Talked just as though Mr. Elliot had
done the rough work under his super.
vision, when, in fact, Mr.. Elliot was
the whole show from beginning to
end Actually it made me angry.
Then today Mr. Gray deliberately
told Billy to take a letter down to
the printers and to wait for an an
sSer. But when Billy didn't get back
until five o'clock and it was time for
him to go home Mr. Gray wanted an
other errand run-so what did he do

but say that he had not told Billy to
waste all the afternoon at the print
er's, and, therefore, Billy would have
to run that other errand before he
left! And poor Billy didn't dare say
anything"
But what's your own specific par
ticular trouble today that calls forth
all these narrowing "reminiscences? %
asked the bookkeeper.
"Well'-the little stenographer
smiled in spite of herself-"since
you're so anxious to hear I'll skip
