PROPER CARE OF THE LAWN
Grass Plat Must Never De Neglected
u Home 10 to Have a Proper
Appearance.

One Of the most important duties
on the home place during the summer
Ia the care OF the lawn. There Il
nothing about a place that makes &C
much for general aftractiveness as q
well cared for lawn.
Many people make the mistake OF
keeping the lawn cut too close. In
that case the grass roots are exposed
90 hot sun and drying winds DURING
the summer. Cut the lawn frequently
bat do not set the machine too close
To keep the lawn looking clean at all
times have O grass-catcher attachment
on the mower A careful watch for
weeds on the lawn should be kept.
Cut them out well below the surface
with an old knife as soon as they are
large enough to be seen.
A roller on the lawn IL advisable,
but it should be used with care.
Lawns that have been rolled for long
time are likely TO become over-rolled:
there Is surface cohesion or close.
packing OF the top soil, which prevents
the admission of air and healthy roo,
development. The remedy is the use
OF the spiked tamper. A homemade
one may be made by taking piece OF
two-inch plank. some 12x12-inch tim.
Der and inserting four-inch spikes an
inch and a half or two inches apart.
Bore holes little smaller than the
spikes before driving them in. to pre-.
vent splitting the wood. Perforate
the whole surface thoroughly with
this, give a top dressing. lightly rake
II in and water the whole thoroughly
late In the afternoon.

HORSESHOE NAILED TO TREE
Interesting 20 Speculate Who Had
Placed II There Many Years In
the Past.

One never knows what he may find
inside tree. At a sawmill near Van
couver the other day they found q
horseshoe to their sorrow, for Il was
deeply imbedded and stripped OF the
teeth OF the saw that was devouring
the log. Some boy had nailed the
horseshoe TO the tree years and years
ago and the wood had slowly inclosed
and hidden it.
Where Is the boy now? Would he
be willing. and able, to pay for the
saw that his youthful pastime ruined :
What did he nail the horseshoe to the
tree for? Was 1t to make his luck per-
petual? II is well known that horse
shoe lying In the road will bring bad
luck II you pass 1t by untouched. but
II you pick 1t up and nail 1t to the
barn door or to a tree, goodness and
mercy will follow you all the days Of
your life. or at least until the talisman
Is displaced.
The chances are that the boy who
nailed the horseshoe to that fir tree
near Vancouver is a millionaire now.
but In our minds eye we see his for
tuze slipping away since the cause of
IL has been torn from its secret bed.
The loss OF big saw Is not the worst
consequence OF disturbing the magic
horseshoe. There is also. very likely.

or. and had been selected on the death
OF his predecessor on account of his
eloquence and impassioned faith. A
bachelor. he had given all his money
to the poor. He was a leader OF the
new evangelical school, which was
believed TO offer the most powerful OPP
position to all the doctrines OF mate

All Clayton awaited his first visit.
On the evening of his arrival Made

alone; she had been decorating the al
tar and putting the last garlands of
green about the pillars. Then. her
work done. the memory OF the past
came rushing over her. Just so had
she worked In the days when Upton
and she were engaged to be married.
They had met here; and her memo
ries opened the floodgates of her sor.
row. She kneeled and wept before the
altar.
She did not hear the door open, nor
was she aware that she was not alone
untsl she started up, TO see the bishop
standing at her side. Through eyes
blinded with tears she discerned the
kindly man who looked inQuiringly at
her.
'Yoa are in trouble?" asked the
bishop.
She nodded desolately. She could
not speak; she buried her head In her
arms and sobbed.
Then suddenly she found herself
poured out her story. II was a tale
OF pride and punishment. but the pun
ishment had been out of proportion to
the sin
Fifteen years before, almost to a
day. she was to have married Upton
Vane. The marriage was only 12
hours away. Upton was in her moth
er's home when q messenger came to
the door.
An old colored woman who lived
eight miles away was dying. She had
something to confess before she died.
She wanted q minister-any minister.
The message had come TO Upton be-
cause the Methodist minister was out.

night Upton answered.
She suffered him to kiss her. but
her manner was distinctly aerrieved
as he took his departure. And when
he reached the miserable shack. he
found cause for further delay.
The old woman's son was expected
hourly from the South. He had com.
mitfed . crime: he had confessed TO
his mother. and when he arrived she
wished him TO unburden himself Of his
secret and suffer the penalty. II
would mean a dozen years I'm the peni-
Tertiary. She could not die leaving
him with his crime unatoned.
The minister waited. Hours crept
by. IL was morning before the son
appeared. He was just In time 10 say
good-hy-to his mother, TO listen to her
plea. and 70 make his confession.
The woman died. and the minister
took the man to the police station.
By the time these fornalities were end
ed 1t was ten o'clock. And he had half
an hour to go home and dress for the
wedding.
There were no telephones in those
days. At a furious pace he drove his
horse up the hill. to encounter the
brides carriage going to the church.
Madeleine saw him. He pulled up and
tried TO speak to her.
Take US homei" cried the girl TO
the coachman.
Those were the last words of hers
that Upton heard Arrived at the ma.
nor. she shut herself up for days. In
vain Upton tried TO see her. She
would not receive him. She returned
his letters. A week later the young
man left Clayton and his successor
was installed. A few weeks after that
Mrs. Driscoll died. and Madeleine soon
closed the house and disappeared.
She had lived in the world, she had
tasted the sweets and bitterness Of
life. and now, at thirty-fiye. she had
returned to her native town. And
those memories which she thought she
had forgotten came back TO her with
poignant intensity.
That was the story she told the
bishop.
