THE CHRYSANTHEMUM

No flower can boast of more aristo- cratic ancestry than the chrysanthe- mum. There is reason for it's naughty demeanor and often inso1ent expres- sion. For the golden faring yellow beauty is able to trace it's lineage back to the royal gardens of some forgotten mikado, who admired it's forefathers many centuries ago.
 The origin of the flower as the pet of royalty is lost in the early twilight of eastern history; it was probably cultivated in the early days of Confu- cius, and has certainly been treasured in the Orient from time immemoriai The emblem and crest of the mikado of Japan are the leaf and flower of the chrysanthemum
 The first appearance of the flower in Europe was probably in 1764, when specimens found their way to the bo- tanical gardens in old Chelsea, Eng land. These were only small yellow things and did not arouse much en- thusiasm. Not very much was done with the chrysanthemum in England until about 1885.
 Method of chrysanthemum culture given by a leading horticulturist is as follows: To produce the best results, the young shoots should be planted in three-inch pots early in the spring, and in six weeks transferred to five-inch pots. AS soon as the plants have at tained height of nine or ten inches they should be "pinched back" that is, an inch or so of the center of the plant should be pinched off. This causes the plants to become "bushy,' as it checks the tendency of an upward, spindly growth. If fine plants are de- sired this pinching back process should be repeated every two weeks until August. The plants will by that time have attained a height of about two feet. By October they will have increased another foot in height and each plant will have from fifteen to thirty shoots.

one of those department store mobs and have a crowd of perfect ladies use you for a doormat?
 I got mine!
 They certainly taught me the Huer- ta glide, all right!
 At the door a nice young man with a pink necktie and quick forehead bowed to me.
 What do you wish?" he asked.
 Well" 1 said, "I'm down here to get a Christmas present for friend wife. I would like something which would afford her great pleasure when l give it to her and which I could use afterward as penwiper or a fishing rod"
 Second fioor-to the right-take the elevator" said the man.
 Did you ever try to take an eleva- tor in a department store and find that S,943 other American citizens and citizenettes were also trying to take the same elevator?
 How sweet it is to mingle in the arms of utter strangers and to feel the pressure of a foot we never hope to meet againi

SOME NOTES IN SEASON

Better spend little money for gar den tools and keep box or two handy where you can keep odds and ends of bolts, burrs, staples, scrapiron, etc. Little helps that save money and a trip to town.
 If you want good neighbors be one yourself. One of the best ways to show neighborliness is to keep your chickens and stock at home and look after your part of the line fence.
 There is no secret about the sue cess of a man who adopts the best methods and works for them.
 Mixing compost rough for flower pots means without sitting it.
 Roman hyacinths are best for late potting, as they come into bloom much earlier than the Dutch varieties Each bulb throws up several flower spikes.
 Fall planting is hest for peonies.
 Don't be too severe on your plants in summer, but at the same time let

BEST FERN FOR LIVING ROOM
By J. r. GRANGER.

The best fern for the living room depends on the temperature of your living room. If your room is heated with hot water you can grow ferns in it that would soon die if kept in room heated by steam, or hot air, or a wood fire. For such a room would advise Whitman's, one of the most beautiful varieties of recent introduc- tion.
 It is a sprout from the old Boston fern. It has shorter fronds than that variety, but they are broader, and the leaflets on them are developed into miniature fronds, thus making it a most graceful plant, when we'll grown. Its fronds have plumelike effect that make a fine specimen of one of the most ornamental of decorative plants.
 Give it soil of leaf-nold, or turfy

THE MYSTERY OF CHRISTMAS
One Day of the Year That All Other Days Are Learning to Envy
 and Initiate.

It seems to me that always, as the 24th of December commenced to shorten, the white, fieecy snow began to fall, says writer in the Crafts man. When the street lamps flick cred up like candles on an altar, they gazed on world that was white. The strife of the city was muffled. Carts went by, but you had to peer out through the blinds to know that they were passing-they made no sound. An atmosphere of gentleness had de- scended. Everyone in the house went about with stealth, as though planning some secret kindness.
 And then the night and the trying to keep awake till Santa Claus should come. And the waking up, with the frost weaving patterns on the panes. Somewhere far away harp was be- ing played, and cornet was challeng- ing the silence. The tune they played was an accompaniment to the most beautiful legend in the world. At first, dreamily, you tried to remember why for once the darkness was not frightening, and then, "Ah, it's Christ mas!" As you turned, your feet made the paper crack, and at the end of the bed you were too content and happy even to lcok at your presents Why was it that next day everybody and everything was different? ? The air was full of bells singing riotously. Every one, for this one day, ceased to think of his own happiness and found hap piness in bringing cheerfulness to others. The stern gulf which is fixed between children and grown-ups had vanished-there weren't any grown ups. Somewhere in your childish heart you wondered why every day couldn't be made day of kindness.
 And that wonder of a childs heart is the Christmas message. Once a year, by divine conspiracy, all the ships of our hopes and fears turn back from their voyagings to the harbor of tenderness. They are borne back on the crest of a white tide of mysticism of God is declared to all fightings, and men and women walk as children through world that is kind. They commence to give and cease to annex; they act in the belief that God is in his heaven. The spirit is one tremu- lous white day of unselfishness-a day which gradually some other days in the year are learning to envy and imi- tate.

Why We Burn Candles.

The custom of burning candles on the Christmas tree comes from two sources. The Romans burned candles at the feast of Saturn as sign of good cheer, while the Jews burned candles during the feast cf the Dedication, which happened to fal1 about the same time as that of Saturn in the Roman calendar. It is quite possible that for this reason. there would have been many candles burning all over Pales- tine about the time of the birth of Christ, and from this comes the term Feast of Lights" which is the name used in the Greek church for Christ mas day.

to get something that will give her a great amount of pleasure and which l can use later on as pipe cleaner or a pair of suspenders!"
 The pale young woman tainted, so moved over.
 At another counter another young lady said to me: Have you been waited on?"
 "No," 1 replied; 'I have been stepped on, sat on and walked on, but have not yet been waited on"
 What do you wish?" inquired the young woman.
 T am looking for a Christmas pres ent for friend wife," he said. q want to buy her something that will bring great joy to her heart, and which l might use afterward as a pair of slip pers or shaving mug"
 The young lady caught me with her dreamy eyes and held me up against the wall.
 You" she screamed, you complete total of 25, ,493 people who have been in this department store today without knowing what they are doing here, and refuse to be human eneylope- dia for the sake of eight dollars a week. Go on, now; throw yourself in- to second speed and climb the hill!"
 1 began to apologize, but she reached down under the counter and pulled out a club.
 This" she said, with wild look in her side lamps, this is happy Yule- tide, but, nevertheless, the next guy that leaves his brains at home and tries to make me tell him what is a good Christmas present for his wife will get bitter wallop across the forehead!"
 The girl was right, so I went home without present.

 T am looking for Christmas pres ent for friend wife," I answered q want to get something that will look swell on the parlor table and may be used later on as tobacco jar or a trouser stretcher!"
 Fourth f1oor-to the left-take the elevator!" said the shrill voice, but shriller.
 With bowed head I walked away.
 began to feel sorry for friend wife
 Nobody seemed to besvery much in- terested whether she got a Christmas present or not.
 On the fourth floor I stopped at a counter where a lot of eager danes were paving over some chinchilla rib bon and chiffon overskirts.
 It reminded me of the way an emo- tional hen digs up grub in the gar den.
 l enjoyed the excitement of the game for about ten minutes and then 1 said to the clerk behind the counter who was refereeing the match, Gan you tell me where I can buy a ster- ling silver Christmas present for friend wife which I could use after ward as night key or bath sponge?"
 Fifth floor-to the rear-take the eIevator!" said the clerk.
 On the fifth floor 1 went over to a table where young lady was selling The Life and Libraries of Andrew Carnegie" at four dollars month and fifty cents week, and in three years it is yours if you don't lose the re- ceipts.
 She gave me a glad smile and I felt a thrill of encouragement.
 Excuse me- said, but am look ing for Christmas present for friend wife which will make all the neigh bors jealous, and which 1 can use aft terward as an ash receiver or pocket flask"
 The young lady cut out the giggles and pointed to the northwest.
 l went over there.
 To my surprise l found another counter.
 A pale young woman was behind it.
 l was just about to ask her the fatal question when young man wearing a ragtime expression on his face rushed up and said to the pale young lady behind the counter: q am look ing for suitable present for a young lady friend of mine with golden brown hair. Could you please suggest some thing?"
 The pale young woman showed her teeth and answered him in a low, rumbling voice, and the man went away
 Then came an old lady who said: T bought some organdie dress goods for a shirt waist last Tuesday, and l would like to exchange them for music box for my daughters little boy, Freddie, Ii you pIease!"
 The pale young woman again showed her teeth and the old lady tucked for cove~
 After about fifty people had rushed up to the pale young woman and then rushed away again, l went over and spoke to her.

a department store when l ran across Hep Hardy, iimping in the direction of taxicab stand.
 Up late, aren't you, Hep?" I in- quired, glancing at the Waterbury.
 I sure am running behind my sched- ule this morning, John, Hep wheezed Accident"
 Whats the matter? Fuse blow out and leave you and your favorite bar tender in darkness?" ventured.
 "Nix," he answered; 'I interpolated a new step in the Tango about five this a. m. and my partner, an impul- sive little thing from Spokane, didn't get my signal, with the result that she stepped on me and lost one of her French heels somewhere between my ankle and my instep. I had to wait till a Doctor Shop was open so he could probe for it. The medicine ped dler found it all right and my left wheel is bit wobbly, but I'll be in the roped arena tonight when the bell rings, clamoring for my favorite rag, you can bet on that, John, old pal"
 "The dance bug has you for fair, hasn't it, Hep?" laughed.
 Not at all," Hep came back; "but like a lot of other ginks who have been going through life with stoop shouI- ders and plantation feet I've suddenly discovered how to be graceful and have to stay up all night to see if other people notice it. Where are you going?'
 I'm going down to see one of those stores and make fool out of fifty dol lars-litt1e Christmas present for Peaches" I answered.
 Fifty doliars!" Hep sneered. Gay John, if I had wife, and we were speaking to each other, fifty dollars wouldn't buy the ribbon around the bundle. Fifty dollars! You make noise like 8 pike
 "Sure!" 1 snapped back. If you had wife you'd take her down to your favorite Jewelry store and let the clerks throw diamonds at her till they fell exhausted. But I'm just regular
