HONEY LOCUST GOOD TREE
FOB EASTERN COLORADO

While considering various species Of
trees suitable for planting in eastern
Colorado, one should not overlook the
honey locust. 1t is drought resistant
and otherwise adapted to the soil of
eastern Colorado. Honey locust is y
fairly rapid growing tree, not as fast
as the cottonwoods, or even black To-
Gust, but faster than green ash. Its
wood is useful as fuel, poles and fence
posts. AS a fence post, it will last
usually three times as long as cotton
wood post, but only half as long as a
black locust post. AS the honey locust
will not endure shading, it should
not be grown in crowded groves. in
single rows, however, this species may
be spaced closely, from 6 to feet, if
irrigated, as trees in row will receive
sufficient light.
The objection to the thorns is done
away with by planting thornless vari-
ETY.. Seeds may be obtained from large
seed houses in Denver at trifling cost,
or by gathering the large seed pods
from your neighbor's s tree. The seeds
should be soaked in warm water until
they swell; then sow in moist, ricn
soil and cover lightly. They will grow
a foot high the first year and will be
suitable for transplanting to permanent
situations the following spring.-W. ].

Daytime Sleep.

The woman who can drop asleep
quickly, for few minutes nap in the
daytime, is really blessed. If such
little siesta that "knits up the raveled
sleeve Of care" can be managed It's re-

the room is the first aid to slumber.
If this is out Of the question for any
reason, or If the nap is taken out of
doors, dark scarf tied lightly over

Really Not His Fault.

The family were going to picnic
and Howard had been dressed first and
told to sit on the porch until the rest
were ready. Soon after his mother
discovered him playing in the dirt with
his clean clothes hopelessly ruined.

he was deposited forcibly on chair
and asked If he did not remember he
had been told to stay on the porch and
keep clean. "Yes," he sobbed, "but

At a Chinese wedding the "beggar

from all the guests, but in return
keeps other mendicants from the mar

The Word "Pestsr."

When we say we have been pestered
by the bill collector and the political
candidate we are not indulging In
American slang. We are using a word
that Is more ancient and aristocrattc
than any of our proudly displayed
coats Of arms. And 1t came from the
same source as most Of the worlds
aristocracy-from the farm! "Pester"
Is an abbreviadon for 'fmpester," and
a pastorium, In classic Latin, was SIM
ply q pasture. There were no fences
around the pasture, and to prevent the
horses and cattle from straying too
far In quest Of lush grass their feet
were shackled. You would think you
were being pestered II your feet were
tied-that is, impestered-so that you
could not run.-St Louis Globe Demo-

He wrote in his diary one day: II wear

succeeded In persuading him to get his
hair cut according to the prevailing
fashion. On March 10 Of that year

Profitable PebblOs.

The flint pebble industry gives &C.
cupation to many women and children
along the French coast lying between
Havre and Dieppe. The pebbles col
lected In and near Havre are selected
for their spherical shape and are used
exclusively for pulverizing in certain
industries, particularly in the manu-
facture of cement and In copper mines,
being employed In the interior Of large
cylinders. In the cement industry the
slow turning Of the pebbles produces
a powder which becomes an ingredient
Of the cement, while in the copper in
dustry the metal is freed Of all impuri-
ties by the grinding operation. The
same kind of pebbles Is used for crush
ing purposes in the manufacture Of
paint. Another important use Of flint
pebbles is in the manufacture Of porce-
lain, the pebbles for this purpose be-
ing found between Fecamp and Calais.

ITO BE coNTINuD.l
Won by Good Looks.

One man in English history owed his
success in life almost wholly to his
good looks. 1t was George Villiers,
first duke Of Buckingham. James 1.
was wanting a private secretary, and
when young Yilliers applied for the po-
sidon the king was much impressed
with the beauty Of his person and the
gracefulness Of his manners. He gave
him the place, and that was the begin
ming Of great career. From that time
to the end Of James reign the history
Of England was in great part the per-
sonal history Of George villiers, the ad-
venturer-frst the cupbearer, in few
weeks knighted, then made gentle
man Of the bedchamber and knight of
the Order Of the Garter; then success
sively he was made baron, a Wis
count, an earl, marquis and lord high
