ASHES DISCOURAGE BUGS

Especially among asters l find
great value in ashes, containing as
they do phosphates which tend toward
sweetening the soil. No parasite will
contentedly find courage to live in or
enter such an unpleasant soil home.
Ashes are also beneficial in strength
ening and stiffening stalks and for
this reason l advocate them for gladi-
olus beds-but not mixed with ma

treated they seem to release the am.
monia of the fertilizer, relieving it Of

WAITING FOR UNcLE's WEALTH.

But could youth last and love still breed,
Had Joys no date and age no need,
Then these delights my mind might move
To live with thee and be thy love.
The young man who Is brought up
on the food of great expectations 10
living on a very unhealthy diet. He Is
born with golden spoon dangling be-
fore his mouth. From boyhood to man
hood he continually hears on the lips
of his relatives: "Our boy will be rich
some day. He is the only heir to his
old bachelor uncle's wealth" .e7y., 1.
This robs the lad of his ambition to
strike out and hew his own way
through the worlds rocky road. He
sits back with the assurance that his
fortune is already made for him. His
home folks encourage him in his de-
termination not to wear himself out
with work. HIS acquaintances soon
learn that he is to.be his suncle's heir,
fact which mammas of marriageabler
daughters heed with due c6nsidera-
ton. - - >'' W. =.
The heir-to-be Is petted and courted,
made to believe that he is just trifle
better than other young fellows. He
can choose his boon companions, those
whom he will among the young men.
They all believe that he will soon come
into large sum OF money, his uncle's,
fortune, and that he would be good
one to know. They do their share OF
counting, flattering and spelling him.
A dolled-up coQuette succeeds In at-
tracing his fancy She has only her
beauty to depend on. but she is the
kind of girl who makes the most OF
it. She takes her chance of marrying
him, because OF his great expectations.
There is no one else to inherit his
uncle's money and delays are danger.
GUS. &y -
The old uncle, who by frugality has
laid by his fortune, is the first to rea-
lie the state of affairs. Good feeling
can change when man sees that
others are counting the time until they
can step into his shoes. After long de-
liberation, many an uncle has conclud.
ed that IL his fortune was to be spent
i'm short order he might as well do 1t
as to give 1t into the hands Of others
for that purpose, When a bachelor
falls into this frame of mind the next
thought which comes to him is why
not follow my nephew's example and
take brlde?" ..%l "....5a. .
He remembers pleasant-faced
woman who nursed him back to health
through his long illness. The upshot
of the matter is he weds her. OF
course there is wailing and gnashing
of teeth in the nephew's home. But
that does not change the situation.
The nephew wakes to the knowledge
that he must begin to carve out his
own fortune if he would have any.
He is too old to commence at the bot
tom Of the ladder. The wife who weds
him for his great expectations leaves
him, and he drags out an unhappy
existence. No matter how rich mans
relatives may be he should not place
any hope Of inheriting from them q
dollar. There's many slip 'tWixt
the cup and the lip" 4..:e e.. VI. II.

ately In love His sorrow arises from
the fact that he is not believed often
when he Is telling the truth that he
loves her and her only.
For the first time in his life he en-.
vies the young men who have the
great privilege Of staying in one town,
those who are on the ground to inhu-
ence girl by being brought In con.
slant contact with her, while he must
depend upon letters as the means OF
carrying on his courtship. II, per-
chance, week elapses and the girl
does not hearSfro him, she fears that
he has found a newer love and 10
tickle of fancy. .H,as.1
He knows, the average girl could
not understand his explanation that
he has tossed and tumbled in sleep
ing car all night, getting into a new
town in the early dawn. His break
fast is cold and not appetizing. The
weather may be stormy, but he has to
grab his gripsack and make for the
stores of his patrons. The merchants
are seldom If ever in a gracious mood
or greet him affably. He must give
a smile for their frown and actually
fight his way through obstinate objec.
tions to show his wares. ~
The day passes before he Is aware
He cannot afford to miss even one
merchant. His evenings are taken up,
If they are gracious enough to look at
his samples. Often he is forced to
buy tickets for theaters, fairs, suppers
and what not, and to invite the sales.
woman to accompany him, as she has
influence over the buyers. BY the time
he gets to the hotel, after seeing her
home, it's midnight He must catch
the train at four in the morning, which
leaves him but a few hours rest.
More than half asleep, he endeavors
to write a letter to his dearie. ill.,.
He begins by calling her Miss
JONES'" the girl he had to take to the
theater; ends by naming her Miss
Smith," the name of spinster to
whom he has promised to take q
message at his next stop. He cannot
understand why the answer to his love

MR.. LANSING no GO?

Why there should hr tall, Of diapIaring tn"
new secretary IF STAT" Robert Lansing, j. hard
toTndrrstand unless political pressure is being
brought to bear on the administration. Mr.,
lansing appears in his short term a. counsellor
o. the state department and his even shorter
tenure of the secretary'S office to have gained
the confidence of the american people. His
state papers are recognized aS models Of their
kind and his soundness of Judgment has not
been questioned. He entered the cabinet at a
peculiarly critical time. when the country was
nanifestly. irritated oyer Mr.. Bryan'S retire
ment, and, to Judge by the comments of the
mainland press, his accession was cordially re-
ceiyed.
The political consideration Immediately pre-
sents itself Not improbably Mr.. Bryan is plan
ming to organize his forces for 1916, rally them
around his personality and his peace views and
perhaps hopes TO sway the presidential race. IF
this is the ease, President Wilson's friends can
not begin too early 10 weld their elements On
lie information now available it looks as if
some of the Wilson hackers think it a good
political move to put either A. Mitchell Palmer
of Pennsylvania or Simeon +. Baldwin of Con-
necticut in the office of secretary of state, since
each is leader in his home section. .-=
Secretary Lansing's excellent record and ex-
ecIent prospects in the state department may
be sacrificed to political eXpediency but it is to
be doubted if President Wilson will assent to-
the program There is, of course the possible
ity that Mr. Lansing for some unannOuncedl
reason desires to retire from the department
but this is most unlikely conclusion.
