At the bottom of the steps stood boy
selling flowers. lie had only two
roses left, glorious, half-blown pink
ones.
"Tll have those roses, If you please"
said Betty. And, "I'll have those roses,
II you please" said another voice at
the same time. The other voice b"-
longed to man. lie was u young
malr, and when Betty looked up and
he looked down, both smiled. Despite
the dampness of his clothes the boy
smiled too.
"Well," he said, switch Of you Is
goln' to have emf"
"You," said Betty. "You spoke
first"
"No, you. / think you did" said the
young man.
The boy, being a diplomat as well as

So they "divvied up" They left the
station together, and since their ways
Icy In the same direction, they walked
together for three blocks. Presently
both turned into the same side street
and both stopped nt the same house In
the middle of the block and both rang
the bell of the same lint.
Don't tell me It is Sallie Miller that
you are bringing that rose to- said
Betty incredulously.
"Sure II is," said Betty.
So they climbed the stairs together

They went away together. Thei
talk was mostly of Sallie. Each sat
how wonderful 1t WIS that the othe

e.orul. Fish Co on Spree.

Walter Taylor, city clerk of Atlanta
Ga, declares that the fish in South
river should have the attention Of the
Humane society. They are being gross
ly mlstreated by the city, since the
police began dumping blind tiger
liquor In the sewers, he states.
He sGid after trip to the river
with Oscar Cochran, manager of the
city parks, that he found the fish In
u maudlin condition, due to excessive
use of alcohol. Most OF them were In
a disgraceful state of intoxlcauon. and
the ones that were not were fighting to
get their share.
lie says the river is rapidly becoming
stocked with fish from farther down
the stream, coming up to get q share
of the liquid. And he adds that the
inhabitants of the region are trying to
find some way to extract the alcohol
without having to eat the fish, recogniz-
ing that the two don't go well to-
gether.

Earm lands lnerease In Value.

The value of farm lands of the Unit
I'd States is estimated nj S45.55 per
acre, as compared with $l0.S5 Il year
ago, SiO.3l two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago and SS6.23 four years ago.
The census reported the value of
farm lands In 1910 rs S32.i0, and In
1900 0s Sl6.57 per acre.
In recent years the value OF farm
lands has been increasing at the rate
d about 3 per cent year, or approx
nately 81 per acre per year. The ex-
ceptlOnal increase of the past year
may be explained partly by the reac-
hOn in the southern cotton states fol-
loving a temporary depression last
year, and partly by the stimulus given
g the war to prices, particularly of
