guiding star at this happy time.
With rich girl, it is entirely diff
ferent. She does not pin her faith
to finding in the first man who pays
attention to her life partner saying
to herself "if l do not accept him, I
can never get another opportunity to
we'd" She counts on having plenty
of suHors. It will be which one she
will take instead of which one she
could get. Hope is not one of the
blessings which make life's joy for
her. She attends the theater with this
one tonight, goes to the dance with
another one next week, sleigh riding
with still another at a weekend party
and has no time to crown any one of
them the hero Of her day dreams. She
does not realize, that, with hopes
lamp not lighted she misses a CLEAN
of earthly paradise.
The rich girl Is never entirely sure
that she will be welded for herself
alone. She never fears missing we'd
lock ultimately. Some rich girls i'm
agine-erroneously- a poor young
man is polite he will marry her for
her wealth If not for love Of herself
This is not hope but delusion on her
part. The poor girl hopes for long
life of welded bliss after she marries.
If she finds that the partner of her
life has traits which she did not know
Of, she bravely does her best to bear
with and make the best of them. She
has no other home to go to, no other
heart to lean on, none to take her part
against him and tempt her to become
estranged from him.
If the rich girl finds that her welded
path is not as rosy as she expected,
she is perfectly Independent with him.
She knows that she can gain her free
dom, that she will not suffer thereby
as far as support and a roof over her
head go. The relatives who have an
eye to her money take every little act
of his as a lover to help them widen
the breach between them and the hope
of reconciliation is crushed in her
heart.
Of the two, the one who has hope
has everything to live for. The wom-

and the thought of the future IN
pleasant. 1t is not wrong for young
girls to have love dreams. 1t is nature,
therefore natural. Poor girls are not
building their hopes upon finding a
rich young man to wed. All they ex-
pect is loving and true heart With
such a man they hope to win happi-
ness and good fortune, if the latter is
intended for them.

Bulletin on Pure Grass Seeds.

The Vermont experiment station is
distributing Bulletin 1872 dealing with
the inspection of grass, clover and
similar seeds sold in Vermont. It
shows their purity and their weed seed
contents. The tabular matter is
grouped in two ways, by variety and
by the wholesalers name. Thus all
the timothy samples are grouped; and
also all samples sold, let US say, by the
Smith Seed company. A farmer who
is buying. for example. timothy can
scan the timothy table and tell what
brands were of high grade in 1915 anu
what were not. And farmer who
thinks of buying Smith seed can see in
the table showing all the Smith seed
analyses whether or not as rule the
Smith seeds were what they were said
to be. This bulletin can be had with
out charge for the asking. A postal
card to the experiment station, Bur
lington. Vermont, stating desires is
sufficient.

TRICKY AND A buffer.
The Spreading Adder Will Fool You If
You Don't Know Him.


He's a sly creature, this snake.
When he's discovered and trapped he'll
make such hullabaloo about it, with
his Kissing and contortiOns, that if
you're not wise to the fact that he's
only bluff1ng you're sure to be fright
ened. If you're acquainted with him,
however, and refuse to run, he'll give
one final twist and roll over on his
back, just as though he had made up
his mind to die and save you the trou-
BILE Of killing him. But don't be fool
ed. He's only playing possum. He's
the spreading adder.
His tricks have resulted in all sorts
Of wild stories about him. Many peo-
pie believe he's poisonous, because he
spreads his head out fat and Kisses
when he's disturbed. AS matter of
fact, he couldn't hurt you If you pick
ed him up by the head. He's only
blufing when he Kisses.
Then there's another story about the
spreading adder to the effect that he
will bite himself and fall over dead.
This belief comes from his habit of
playing possum when he sees he's cor
nered and can't escape.
The spreading adder is about thirty
inches long, a reddish brown and
blotched and spotted. He lives in dry
woods and on sandy hillsides and eats
loads and insects. He's also called
the blowing viper or the hognosed ad-
der.-Philadelphia North American.

Has thy uncertain bosom ever strove
With the first tumults of real love?
Hast thou now dreaded and now bless'd

What has become of the dude, that
pink of masculine, so-called, perfec-
ton, he with the scented locks and
curled mustache, who wore a GRIM
son rose in the lapel of his coat, pat

He was a picture that many TO
mantle girl glanced furtively at as he
stood on the street corners with his
boon companions watching fair maid
ems fit by. Parents frowned him
down unless they happened to have
sons just like him. Women who could
air their opinions without fear or car
ing a snap whether they offended or
not declared that the dude had waist
too much on the hourglass type to
be quite natural. The tattlerS whis-
pered to the scandalmongers that
pulled them in pretty tight at that.
The dude walked with a mincing
gait. His trouser legs were as tight
as the girls skirts are today. He
spoke with drawing accent, and
flirted shamefully. He was walking

seemed to be to catch the eye of a
pretty girl and bring blush to her
cheek because of his bold stare.
1t has taken a decade of years for
the species to disappear. But where
have they gone? They certainly have
not developed into sensible business
fellows. They haven't brains enough
under their tilted silk sats for that
The answer to the query is-they have
married foolish girls whose papas
were rich and able to support daugh-
ter's hubby. They have been trans
ferred from the street corner to the
old gents office, where they strut
about with important mien, flirting
with the stenographers and roundly
abusing the male clerks for being so
unfortunate as to be under their con-
troll. They live in brownstone man
sions owned by their rich wives, fit
about in automobiles and are first

example for her younger sisters. No
wonder the younger girl profits by her
experience. Her choice of husband
falls upon the ambitious, energetic
man, who looks what he is, a self
made, sensible, energetic youth who
dresses well, but not extravagantly;
who has a stock of good sense in his
head and the right kind of love in his
heart, and is pushing and capable Of
supporting, without her fathers aid,
the woman who weds him. 1t is we'll
for romantic girls that the dude has
vanished and sensible men now have
come to the fore.

What is the subtle charm about an

so many people who know them only
as they appear behind the footlights?

to whom she appeals, irresistibly.

torch OF infatuation is lighted in his
bosom. He besieges the box Office for
an Introduction, if he knows the man
ager. 1t does not occur to him that
it is artiice when the manager puts
him off with one plausible excuse and
another. He sends the actress notes,
flowers and bonbons. Fate seems to
be against him because of the fact that
they do not reach her. The messen-
ger boy always returns with the gifts
or notes bearing the same story-she
was not there. If his infatuation for
the actress has taken deep root, and
he is a young man who has leisure and
money to follow his inclination, he is
apt to present himself in every town
where the charmer is playing, quite

Making the Little

TREE SURGERY.
Observation-Disclosures

Removal of Deoayed Matter Important
to ProIong Life.
In considering the subject of tree
surgery it is important first TO become
familiar in a general way with the
parts of tree which are directly in
volved, their structure and how they
are affected by the surgical methods
employed. Nearly every tree shows
work for the skilled tree DOCTOR" es-
pecially the soft wood trees. where
branches are dashed from the trunks
and main limbs and crotches are split
necessarily, leaving a rough, splintery
surface, where decay soon starts its
deadly work. Then, too, many crevices
on soft wood trees are caused by severe
strains during wind and ice storms. In
many cases these are hidden by the
rugged bark and unnoticed by the aver
age man.
Most cavities and crevices soon form
pockets, in which water and foreign
matter collect during the winter
months. With continual freezing and
thrawing, the cavities expanding and
contracting, each time the water works
lower, and finally a large opening re-
suits.
The treatment of cavities can be re-
garded as comprising four essential
Notwithstanding all decayed and

diseased matter, reinforcing the cav
ity with bolts or supporting the branch
by placing one or more chains to an ad-
joining branch, sterilizing and water
proofng all cut surfaces and filling the
cavity In a manner that will favor rap
i'd healing and exclude rot producing
organisms.
Usually an old decayed spot may be
| partially covered by new growth of
wood and bark at the edges and the
visible, decayed area be small, as COM
pared with that which Is hidden. In
such cases 1t is usually necessary TO
enlarge the opening in order to make
sufficient room to thoroughly clean the
interior. This opening should not be
any wider than is necessary, but it
may be sufficiently long to reach all
the decayed and diseased heartwood,
with little or no additional injury to
the tree.
After the decayed and diseased mat
ter has been completely eXcavated the
next step is to steriliZe the interior of
the cavity in order that all germs Of
disease or decay which are present
may be killed. Then follows coat Of
tree wound paint or any preparation
manufactured by reliable company
for this particular work
In filling cavities the materials must
be of the best. A good grade of port
land cement and sharp sand should be
used. Even the best cement filling
| will crack unless some provision is
made to protect 1t from shock. Here
expert knowledge is required, for the
tar paper padding, which is ideal I'M
der some conditions, becomes INSULT
Client and must be augmented with lay
ers of rubber where the sway is great
er and the shock on the filling would
therefore be more intense.
Reinforcing, like filling cavities,
varies with existing conditions. One
difficulty in this field is the fact that
the average property owner, when re-
enforcing is mentioned to him, remem-
bers only those examples where the
work done is quite obvious. He OBJ
jectS to the appearance of chains from
one branch TO another, forgetting the
fact that the very reinforcing to
which he objects has probably pre-
vented the entire loss of a valuable
tree.
1t is true that, unless it is quite ex-
pertly done, reinforcing a tree in its
last stages is likely to mar the appear
ance of the tree, even though it does
save 1t. One way-in fact, the best
way-tO avoid this condition is to have
the cavities treated early, when the
reinforcing can probably be done en-
tirely by means OF a system of conceal
cd bolts.
