Bridegroom's Admission Satisfied
Small Boy as to the Disappear

1t was a happy day for Algy when.
after n courtship of many years, he
sat at the wedding breakfast beside
his wife.
Unfortunately, he was of a very shy
temperament, but OF this momentous
occasion his nervousness was painful
to behold. The long table was lined
with the usual large nulnber of adj
hiring and criticizing friends, n of
whom proposed the health of the bride
and bridegroom.
But the climax came when the
bridegroom rose to respond.

ceal it for long. Marriage does not
carry with it a guaranty that it is
a preventive against marital sparring
by angry words. There is nothing
more cruel than for a bride and groom
to discover that their marriage was a
mistake; that they are totally insult
ed to each other.
They have not the courage to break
the CALLING bond then and there, and
decide to live it out, making the best
of 1t. If they can successfully hide
their unhappiness from the world they
are thankful. 1t is either a pity or a
blessing if children are born to such
a couple. If they inherit dislike for
either the one parent or the other the
home is in continual contention. They
have been ushered into the world
without parental love in their hearts;
bitter hatred and disrespect have
taken its place. They fly from the
home nest early. They drift to the far
corners of the world and are heard
from no more. Such children bring
remorse and regret.
On the other hand, the coming of lit
tie ones into the home nest often
draws welded hearts together that
were drifting apart. A child plays
upon the harp strings Of both hearts.
How can a husband and father look
into the innocent eyes of his childv
his own flesh and blood-and despise
the mother who bore it? Nor can a
mother clasp to her bosom the little
Il she loves better than her own life
without a feeling Of tenderness for its
father, pushing aside the resentment
that may have found Judgment in her
breast against him.
Many an ~estranged couple have
made new vows kneeling beside the
cradle of the little child which God
has sent them; aye, fallen in love
with each other anew, earnestly, de-
liberately this time, whispering the
one to the other that this is the begin
ming of their real union. Both work
together, hand, brain, heart and soul
for the wellbeing of the child. The
additional little ones that come knit
their hearts, interests and hopes the
closer together.
Hasty marriages seldom turn out to
be the happiest ones II the home is
childless one. 1t is too much to risl
to pledge the love and happiness one
hopes for in the future with n whose
tasks, habits and morals are an un
opened book.
The old sage who said a couple
should not wed until they have win
tered and summered each other wrote
more wisely than he knew. Do no
wed in haste if you would not repen'
at leisure.

W HELPS
LET EACH CHILD HAVE PLOT
School Gardens Should Be Divided So
as to Give an Individual
Responsibility.

Pupils should have individual gar
dens. Give each child a plot and have
the responsibility his alone if only a
single plant can be grown on that
plot, or use a pot plant, advises the
Washington Star. Let the child see
the result Of his care or neglect. This
cannot be accomplished where several
children work in the same plot or care
people, If they are really good garden
ers. would care to have each of the
neighbors come in and take a hand at
his garden. Individual work stimulates
the interest and pride in the work, en-
courages skill and judgment that is
entirely lost by collective work and
at the same time develops the idea of
responsibility.
Limited space necessitates the use
of only compact, low-growing plants.
In vegetables, radishes, lettuce, beans,
beets and similar plants.
The children should do all the work,
preparing the land, planting the seed
and caring for the plants, the teacher
explaining each step. Bulletin 21S Of
the department Of agriculture de-
scribes the work and it is sen free on
application.
From Washington southwark seeds
may be planted in the open ground,
but in the North the seeds should be
sown in boxes and kept growing until
the middle Of May to the first of June,
according to the latitude, when they
can be planted in their permanent To-
cations.
F1owering plants that are good for
the purpose are ageratum, nasturtium,
petunia, California poppy, zinnia and
portulaca.

How TO Use the PRUNING Shears.

Double-cutter shears used in orchard
pruning give good satisfaction when
used upon limbs smaller than three
inches in diameter, writes M. G..
Kains In Farm and Home. When care
is taken to cut through the bark all
around the branches to be removed,
the wounds heal over much better
than when the growing layer of bark
and young wood are crushed by being
squeezed from opposite sides without
being cut all around first. One eau.
ton is necessary in using this implo-
ment:
When making cuts of forked limbs
It is necessary to avoid bearing down,
because the main branch to be left is
likely to split, and a heavy load Of
fruit the following summer Is almost
sure to break the limb at this point.
Effort should always be made to lift
when making such cuts. Indeed, it is
a good plan always to cut of the
branch a foot or so beyond the point
where the crotch is and then to re
move the stub with a second cut.

THE HOME TOWN

Some folks leave home for money
And some leave home for fame,
Some seek skies always sunny,
And some depart In shame.
I care not what tho reason
Men travel East or West,
Or what the month or season,
The home town Is the best.
The home town is the glad town
Where something real abides,
IT'S not the money mad town
That all its spirit hides.
Though strangers scott and f1out 1t
And even jeer Its name,
1t has a charm about It
No other town can claim.
The home town skies seem bluer
Than skies that stretch away.
The home town friends seem truer
And kinder through the day,
And whether glum or CHEEKY
Light hearted or depressed
Or struggle At or weary
l like the home town best.
Let him who will go wander
To distant towns to live,
or some things I am fonder
Than all they have to give.
The gold OF distant places
Could not repay me quite
For those familiar faces
That keep the home town bright.

ASKING PARDON TOO OFTEN.

OF all affection taught a lover yet
'Tis sure the hardest science to forget.
Good nature and good sense must ever

To err Is human, to forgive divine.
There is a limit to the patience of
even the most good-natured of women.
Whether they put too much faith in a
mans word or whether men imagine

like and only have to ask in apparent
contriteness to be forgiven to have it

thing-hastens home and writes the
girl. He asks her pardon for disap-
pointing her. He seldom tells the ex-

cause, as he turns it over in his mind,
it sounds too absurd. He frames up a
reasonable excuse. The girl believes
and pardons him.

er wedlock. BY some strange law of
nature, the brainy, energetic, pushing
young fellow usually chooses a quiet,
modest, unobtrusive girl for his wife,
n who will be content to shine in a
reflected light, proud of his abilities
and achievements, one to whom his
will is law.
If they commence their welded life
in poverty, the young wife is not only
willing, but glad, to put forth all her
energies within the four walls of home
so that it will be a pleasing abode for
the mar she loves. They make great
plans for the future-that is, he does
all the thinking, planning and talking,
while she does the listening and ad-
miring. The ambitious young man
soon evinces a longing to rise in the
world, make fame, fortune and wealth.
All his plans call for money and the
only way they can acquire it is for
the wife to pinch the pennies, save,
grind and save.
This she does gladly, uncomplain-
ingly. He advances steadily from one
position to another, but he does not
talk over his plans with her any more.
"You would not understand. What
does a woman p%lodding amid pots and
pans know of the world to which
now belong? You cook a good din
ner-a corking one-why bother your
head we anything else"
He does not inform her or the finan-
cial gains he has made or of his popu-
larity among men and women of the
social world. The higher he has
climbed on the social ladder, the
farther he is from the plain, uncom-
planning little woman he married in
other days. With the gain Of wealth
and position, life holds many allure
ments. Sweet is the clink of gold and
sweet the siren song Of pleasure.
Men think that the wives who have
dropped behind are unconscious of the
fact, but they are not. There are
wives who grieve over it until the JOY
of living has died out of their hearts
Many have the remembrance Of a
