BEAUTY OF HOME YARD
BY II. n. SHEPARD.

The immediate grounds about the
home can be made beautiful, and an
effort should be made in that direction.
large as is consistent with the size
of the dwelling.
An acre is not too much. Some
think that an acre of land is too much
to waste on a simple door yard, but
the better the home grounds the bet
ter will be the life Of the family.
1t is a wrong estimate of life and
property to be forever making money
to enlarge the farm in area, in buying
extra tracts of land for future use, and
not improve and make the best of the
ground where the wife and children
spend nearly all of the best of their
life.
Some look forward and prepare too
much for pleasure to come, and do
not expend any means on making the
present the very best that it can be.
roundings remain shabby and unim
proved, spending the extra money on
property to be handed down to the
children or putting it in the bank.
This is wrong when there is any
neglect in home improvement. If the
children need help by all means, they
need it now while they are helpless
more than when they grow up and
will be able to fully care for them
selves, perhaps much better than we
ever shall Le able to care for them.
They need the comforts, healthful-
ness, and beautfying influences of
good homes and surroundings in or
der to make them healthy, strong,
beautiful and good. These are in
tinitely better than inherited real es-
tate, personal property, or money.
The child whose home life is per-
feet for physical and mental develop
ment will go out into the world with a
rich heritage
The grounds around the home
should be well drained and graded to
suit the location. The main open

good grass and be kept moved low at
all times so that the air and sunlight
may purify the soil.
Abundance of flowers, shrubs and
trees are essentials for completing the
picture, but flowers and shrubs must
be massed in clumps and borders
along the sides and the trees must
be grouped in one place, somewhat re-
moved from one side of the dwelling
Pergolas add much to the beauty of
the home grounds.
Under the tree in the cool shady
part of the grounds a children's play
house or rustic, open structure is a
good place for play and rest for both
young and old

FACT TO BE CONSIDERED
Evidence That II Makes a Great Deal
of Difference as to Where a
Person Lives.

Joseph T.. Widener, the millionaire
sportsman, was talking in Newport
about homes.
philadelphia is the city of homes"
he said, but IL your home is north
of Market street you are considered,
socially speaking, out OF it. Your
home must be south of Market street
you must live downtown-if you
would be a social personality in Philar
delphia.
And yet, after all, said an Eng
lishman, what difference does it
make where a man livos?"
1T makes all the difference in the
world" said Mr. Widener "A fact
that is well remembered about Do
genes today Is that he lived in a tub"

The grounds about the barn and
other stock buildings should be as neat

NO END TO THE GREAT

 Miss Razee is one of the hero ines of the Yukon. She has been staying up day and night for more than a week, cooking boilers full or beans, caribou, spUdg and multi ~ou for the famishing hunters, and doing all kinds of thoughtful and solicitous deeds for the weary mushers.One weary wayfarer whom she found all in nominated her the queen of the caribou trail.
