felt like cheering when | saw his head
bobbing through the melee of walters
and 'bus-boys who were busy putting
clean plates on the tables and then TAX
ing them off again in eight seconds to
make room for more clean plates. Of all
discouraging existences can imagine
none worse than that of an eternally
clean plate. There can be no sense Of
accomplishment, no glow of duty done,
in simply being placed before a man and
then taken away again. 1t must be al
most as bad as paging man who you
are sure is not in the hotel.
The futility of the thing had already
got on the pages nerves, and in a savage
attempt to wiring a little pleasure out
Of the task he, took to NEEDING the
names, grating a syllable Of one to
syllable of another, such as Call for
Mr.. Kenbodkin-Mr. Shrineworthy-
Mr.. Blevitcher." '-t
This gave us both amusement for
little while, but your combinations are
limited in thing like that, and by the
lime the grill was reached he was say
ing the names correctly and with a
little more assurance.
1t was in the grill that the happy
event took place. Mr.. Shriner, the one
OF whom we expected least, suddenly
turned up at table alone. He was a
quiet man and not at all worked up over
mis- unexpected honor. He signalled the
boy with one hand and went on taking
soup with the other, and learned, with
out emotion, that he was wanted on the
telephone. He even made no move to
leave his meal to answer the call, and
when last seen he was adding pepper
with one hand and taking soup with the
other. | suspect that he was plant"
~ a plain-clothes house detective,
placed there on purpose to deceive me.
We had been to every nook of the
hotel by this time, except the writing
room, and, of course, no one would ever
look there for patrons of the hotel. See
ing that the boy was about to totter,
went up and spoke to him. He contin-
ued to totter, thinking, perhaps, that

contestants. Probably the boy was OF
romantic temperament and liked the
name. Sometimes that was the only
name he would call for mile upon mile.
It occurred to me that perhaps Mr..
Kenworthy was the only one wanted,
and that the other names were just put
in to make it harder, or to give body to
the thing
But when we entered the bar the
youth shifted his attack. The name OF
Kenworthy evidently had begun to cloy.
He was fed up on romance and wanted
something substantial, homely, perhaps,
but substantial. AS Mr.. Hughes so
cleverly puts it: Deeds, not words
So he dropped Kenworthy and called:
Mr.. Blevitch. Call for Mr.. Blevitch--
Mr.. Shriner-Mr. Bodkin--Mr. Be
vitch"-
But even this subtle change of tactics
failed to net him a customer. We had
gone through the main lobby, along the
narrow passage lined with young men
waiting on sofas for young women who
would be forty minutes late, through
the grill, and now had crossed the bar,
and no one had raised even an eyebrow.
. No wonder the boys voice sounded dis
couraged.
As we went through one of the lesser
dining-rooms, the dining-room that
seats lot of heavy men in business
suits holding cigarettes, who lean over
their plates the more confdentially to
converse with their blond partners, in
this dining-room the plaintive call drew
fire. One of the men in business suits.
who was at a table with another man
and two women, lifted his head when he
heard the sound of names being called.
Boy he said, and waved like traf-

Eagerly the page darted forward.
Perhaps this was Mr.. Kenworthy! Or
better yet, Mr.. Blevitch.
Anything here for Studz?" said the
man in the business suit, when he was
sure that enough people were listening
mo, sir" sighed the boy. "Mr. Bile
witch, Mr.. Kenworthy, Mr.. Shriner, Mr..
Bodkin?" he suggested, hopefully.
Nav replied the man, and turned
to his associates with an air of saying:
Rotten service here-just think of it,

On we went again. The boy was

Just where the little black
laundry-studs go after they have been
yanked from the shirt. Others pass
this by as inconsequential, but are con-
cerned over the ultimate disposition Of
all the pencil stubs that are thrown
away. Such futile rumination is all well
enough for those who like it. As for
me. give me a big, throbblng question
like this: "Who are the people that
one hears being PACED in hotels? Are
they real people or are they decoys?
And if they are real people, what are
they being PACED for"
Now, there's something vital to figure
out. And the best of it is is that it can
be figured out by the simple process OF
following the page to see whether ne
ever finds any one.
In order that no expense should be
spared, l picked out a hotel with
moor service. which means that it was
an expensive hotel. 1t was so eX-
pensive that all you could hear was the
pages voice as he walked by you; his
footballs made no noise i'll the extra
heavy Bokhara. 1t was just mingling
of floating voices, calling for "Mr. Bla-
bla, Mr.. Schwer-a-a, Mr.. Twa-a-a.'
Out of this wealth of experimental
material l picked a boy with a discour-
aged voice like Wallace Eddinger's, who
seemed to be saying Pm calling these
names-because that's my job-if |
wasn't calling these-Td be calling out
cash totals in an honor system lunch
ery-but if any one should ever answer
10 one of these names-Pd have a poor

Allowing about fifteen feet distance
between us for appearances sake, | fol-
lowed him through the lobby. He had a
bunch of slips in his hand and from
these ne read the names of the pages.

vide a tight removable cover, such as
an old harrow disk, for the top Of the
large tile. The projecting end Of the
small tile Is then surrounded with
rocks, brush or wood, so as to make
the hole look inviting to rabbits and
encourage them to frequent the den.
Rabbits, Of course, are free to go in or
out Of these dens, which should be
constructed in promising spots on the
farm and in the orchard. A trained
dog will locate inhabited dens. The
outlet is closed with disk Of wood
on stake, or the dog guards the open
ing. The cover is lifted and the rab-
bits captured by hand.
These traps are especially suitable
for open lands and prairies, where rab-
bits cannot find natural hiding places.
They are permanent and cost nothing
for repairs from year to year. If 1t
is desired to poison rabbits the bats
may be placed inside these traps, out
Of the way Of domestic animals or
birds. This trap also furnishes an ex-
cellent means Of obtaining rabbits for
the table or even for market.

Peach Trees Vary In Winter Hardness
Victor. Amsden and Arctic varieties
Of peaches seemed more hardy than
others at the Ohio experiment station
last winter. according to results given
by Paul Thayer in the October month
ly bulletin. The winter was unusually
severe because of low temperatures
aud thaw in January which started
the buds to grow.
The Victor trees had about 90 per
cent live buds in the latter part Of
March, while the other two varieties
had about so per cent. Champion, En-
giles Mammoth and MayHower were
also hardy and are considered better
commercial varieties. Gold Mine.
Chairs Choice. J. Ii. Hale. Elberta.
Nina and Brackett varieties suffered
most. Much of the profit In growing
peaches may come from selecting va
rieties resistant to winter killing.

VEGETABLE SEEDS.
Enormous Quantities Produced In This
Country, Some Imported.

Enormous Quantities Produced In This
Country, Some Imported.
For years enormous quantities of GER
tain kinds Of vegetable seeds have been
produced In this country, different
kinds in different sections, and have
given as good crops as any that could
be imported. Other kinds, however,
have seldom proved of good quality
when grown here. That is especially
true Of celery seed. Considerable celery
seed Is grown in California, but it can
not be compared with that which
comes from France.
Much carrot, radish and beet seed
comes from France. These seeds are
produced in California, too, but It Is
a curious fact that the remarkable VI
tally shown by California seeds IL
considered by many growers to be a
disadvantage, especially In the case Of
root crops, for the tops grow with
great luxuriance at the expense Of the
roots. A considerable amount Of carrot
seed is grown in eastern Massachu-
sets, mostly In the towns of Danvers
and Middleton. This seed sells for S.
a pound and gives excellent crops.
Nearly all the caulifower seed used
in this country comes from Denmark,
and the best is expensive, costing up
to $40 pound. The best is none too
good, however, and many failures In
growing cauliflower are due solely to
the fact that cheap seed is used. 1t
may not be worth while trying to grow
caulifower seed in this country, but
farmers and market gardeners often
find 1t to their advantage to save their
own carrot, beet, onion, corn, pea, bean,
cucumber and melon seed. In the mid
die west and in Michigan 1t is very
common practice for seed dealers to
contract with farmers for the growing
Of seed crops. More than 5000 acres
are devoted to the growing of vegeta-
BILE seeds for one company in Michigan.
1000 acres being given over to cucum-
bers alone One Philadelphia concern
Is said to have arranged to buy the
products Of 10000 acres in a single
season. Although Michigan is famous
for its cucumbers, considerable num-
Der are raised in Massachusetts,. Large
quantities of sweet corn and squash
seeds are produced in New England.
