HAVE A GARDEN.

Begin now to think of that little
garden in tile back yard everybody
who has back yard. Such a mod
est enterprise has much to do to re-
store the harmony OF life. II you
don't fiet a radish, tomato, bean
or a mess of peas, you will get
something greater-pure air, sun
shine, exercise and companionship
with nature which are richer crop
than all the truck in the garden. 1t
is great thing to watch things
grow. They make man grow, too,
add health and strength to every
part of his body; give him clean
conscience; make him love his wife
and enjoy her yictuals. Tending a
little garden makes good citizen
out of a man; gives him better
thoughts; makes him kindlier to his
neighbors and gives a gentler ac-
cent to his voice. And then if ne
should raise anything III the garden,
how happy he is to gather it and
take it into the kitchen and lay it
on the table saying 10 his wife;
These are some of our own rails
ing; amt they fine?" That's life
grander than going to church in an
automobile.-Ohio State Journal.
