LOSING a BASS DRUM.
A Feat That Can Be Performed In
More Than One Way,

Now, don't you leave that bass drum
on the train when we get to the termi-
nal" said the conductor sharply as he
punched the ticket of a stout colored
man who, with his drum, was squeezed
into the seat at the forward end of the
smoking car of a city bound local.
mo, indeed, boss, sho' won't do
Nat" responded the owner Of the drum
earnestly.
do many people leave bass drums
on these trains?" asked commuter as
the conductor reached for his ticket.
''1ts regular thing for that fel-
low" replied the conductor testify.
He lives up near Rosemere, and once
a month he comes down to the city to
play in a band. He doesn't need the
drum until evening, so to~avoid carry
ing it around all day or paying for
checking it in the parcel room, he
leaves it on the train. Then along
about 5 o'clock he calls for it at the
lost article room in the station"
When the train reached the city the
conductor left with the first of the pas
sengers. As he approached the gate.
however, he thought of something he
had forgotten and turned quickly
toward his train, which was now al
most empty. AS he did so his face red
dened, his eyes snapped angrily and he
started on a run for the steps of the
smoking car, from which the owner of
the bass drum, looking furtively from
right to left, was descending.
"Where's that bass drum Of yours?"
demanded the conductor as he rushed
up to him.
"Well, doggone me, eff wasn't
fo'gettin' dat drum again" was the in
nocent response. II sho'ly thank you,
cap'n; I sho'ly do. Dey amt no danger
O. de train movin' back eff goes into

added
"I'll hold the train here for an hour
If necessary" replied the conductor,
but get that drum out. and be quick
about it,
A few minutes later the commuter
saw the owner of the drum sitting de-
jectedly on one Of the benches in the
station. AS the drum again reposed
beside him, it seemed likely that for
once at least the owner would have to
carry it with him through the day or
else check it at the parcel room at the
usual rate.
But on his way home that evening
the commuter stopped at the lost az
ticlo window tO inOI1irn for an nm.
brella that his wife had left in the sta
ton the day before. Much to his graft
tication, he found it.
AS the attendant handed the UNI
brella out to him he heard voice over
his shoulder, somewhat familiar
voice, plaintively inquire:
''Say, cap'n, did yo'-all find bass

Do not set shrubbery too thick. This
is the common mistake Of the begin
ner. Give plenty of opportunity for
the plant to grow. Small plants may
be set from two to three feet apart.
Lilac, mock orange, ETC., should not
be set closer than seven or eight feet
in good soil. They will then spread
