GROW YOUR ROSES FROM CUT.
TlNGS

A good way to increase your stock
of roses is from cuttings. Select a
branch of half-hardened wood from a
thrifty bush cut into four or five-inch
pieces see that each Of these has sew
eral eyes from which growth can start I;
trim off the leaves except a few near
the top of the cutting.
Keep the cuttings in glass of wa
ter for a couple of days.
Select a sunny place in the garden,
which has excellent soil. Dig it up
well and put in the slips about half
their length. Press the soil tightly
about the cuttings, water well, and COW
er with a glass jar or a large tumbler.
Keep the ground moist by pouring wa
ter around the glass without lifting it
up.
Growth should show through the
glass in a few weeks, when the plants
may be gradually accustomed to the
air. Cuttings can be taken as late
as mid-October, put down in this way
and when cold weather comes just heap
the earth high over them, glasses and
ALL. In the spring you will find that
more than half have survived.

For the small toques there are tiny

] am sending out this message in the
hope that the need of love will attract
love-"
It was unsigned. Charlie read it and
shifted scOrnfully.
"Some sentimental shOpgirl !" he
said, with curling lip.
But the pathOs of the little note be-
gan to work upon him. 1t was non
sense, Of course, but Charlie happened
TO be in a romantic mood. He added a
tiny postcard to the letter:
''If there is such thing as love,
married"
This note, too, was unsigned, Charlie
fastened it about the pigeons leg, and
the bird, as if it knew its mission was
fulfilled, flew through the window.
Charlie felt ashamed when it had
gone. He would have removed the let
ter, but it was too late.
The episode passed from his mind
in preparations for his marriage, until
three days later, when at the same
hour, the pigeon flew into his room
again, with another letter on it's leg
Charlie unfasteped it with an eager
ness that he did not attempt to dis
Iguise.
"Will you not tell me who you are?'
ran the message. "Perhaps we need
each other"

into Irritation with his unknown
correspondent was strong one. For
Charlie had never been in love as he
had always hoped to be.
Then he came to himself. He wrote
d postscript again:
"No | am to be married. GOOd-by."
During the days that followed he Sc
cretly hoped that the pigeon would
return He knew that if it did he
would be powerless to maintain his
strength of mind He had pictured
his unknown correspondent a hundred
times. Was she dark or fair? Fair
he thought. And young. And loving
even If unsophistiCated. 1t was Il
good thing that the pigeon did not re"
turn perhaps.
1t was Marjorie who returned, q
month before the wedding. She was
as cold and stately as ever, and Charlie
felt her third kiss icy upon his cheek.
And he went away with his mind in a
whirl. How could he marry this wOm-
an to whom love was only a name?
He must see her. must ask for his
freedom.
Charlie was not a very observant
young man, but he did notice that an
unusual number Of pigeons had taken
to circllng about the roof of the little
apartment house In which he lived. He
asked the janitor about them
II hope they don't annoy you, Mr.

Attend to Details

Attend to details and the large
things will take care of themselves.
In this instance reference is made to
details of grooming. No woman who
wishes to be put down as one who
looks stunning can afford to groom
herself hurriedly. 1t is unusual to find
a woman of forty taking the proper
interest in her appearance. Many
women at this age begin to look
washed out and unattractive. This is
all unnecessary. BY proper living, re
ceiving plenty of nourishing food, sun
light, fresh air and sleep and by arti-
fetal means artisically applied, one
can be just as charming and attractive
as in former years.

Chinese Sportsmen.

Foreign spOrtsmen in China have al
ways observed with curious interest
the maneuvers Of native fishermen
and Hunters. When, for instance, the
Chinese gather a harvest of mussels
and wrinkles, they go about 1t in an
extraordinary manner. In the first
place the fishermen are dressed like
hunters, in flowing costume, consisting
of a cowskin coat and stockings all in
one piece with the hair turned inside.
The only openings in the garment, into
which the wearers have worked their
way feet foremost, are Mt the neck
and cuffs, which are securely tied be-
fore the men enter the water. The
fishermen wade in up to their necks.
AS soon as their feet come in contact
with any Of the shellfish, which seem
to lie in beds, the men loosen them as
well as they can from the muddy bot
tom of the creek and then bring up the
catch in grasp net

SWEET PEAS PLANTED IN THE
FALL.

In many localities in the United
States sweet peas can be planted with
success up to a very late date. Even
in sections where it is found impossi-
BILE to get results from most of the
other fall flowers, the dear little sweet
pea comes into it's own.
If the November season is fine the
ground may be plOwed deeply and a
thick layer of rich manure is turned
under for the pea seed. The seeds
should be sowed not closer together
than four inches and not more than
one inch deep.
Although they will come up before
Christmas and often get the nip of
frost, the blast is only above the sur
face and the deep root-growth leaves
the life of the plant safe and ready to
spring into fine bloom in June.
Southern regions are especially
adapted to the planting Of the sweet
pea, with the assurance that the labor
will bring full return.
The end Of October is the best time
to plant cyclamen. The seedlings
should be grown on until the flower
ing stage without any check what
ever.

THE PE0NY AND ITS CULTURE
BY C. REsTcHER.

Few people know the wealth of
beauty and perfume of the peony.
Quite everyone knows the brilliant
old red peony or "piny" of the old
time garden. But from that to the
modern peony is a great evolution.
The modern peony is superior in size,
perfume and finish to the chrysanthe-
mum, with less care and more certain
results for labor expended.
The requirements of the peony are
simple, yet at a few periods they are
very easily damaged. We have large
areas to handle and cannot give them
the same care one could give few
plants.
We give the soil thorough dress
ing of fresh manure early in the fall
and SOW to rye. In April we plow the
ground deeply and plant potatoes,
corn or other crops that will have
good culture.
We prefer to plant any time during
September, but planting may be done
at any time Cif well watered for few
days. from September l to May. We
do not approve of lifting plants in
the spring after they have begun al
ready to make a rapid and tender
growth.
Plants that are kept dormant by be-
rug dug in the fall may be planted un-
til June with fine success. We have
planted big clumps when in full bloom
and they grew well, but we do not ad-
wise it except when absolutely neCes-
sary.
When planting peonies in clayey
ground, they should be set about four
inches deep, but in light, sandy or
loamy soil, five or six inches deep. Old
clumps l plant bit deeper, leaving
the crown covered lightly until late
when more soil is drawn over them
to make the surface level.
Never use much manure the first
year on newly planted peonies and care
should always be exercised not to
overmanure them. The best way is
to cultivate them about three inches
deep, then apply about one inch of any
manure, working the ground several
times before winter sets in, or they
may be manured after the ground
freezes and the manure worked into
the soil in the spring.
Keep all the weeds out of the
peonies and do not dig over three
inches deep from October until the
buds are as large as acorns. Many
persons have complained about their
peonies not blooming, and upon inves-
tigation and from observations from
my own experience l found that when
ever we dug deeply around plants at
the time above stated the plants either
came up blind or bore a very small
percentage of good blooms, SO we
learned to employ shallow cultivation.
Plant peonies in the bright sunshine
away from trees that are liable to
shade them or whose roots may sap
the plant food in the soil where they
are planted.
In lawns where peonies are planted
they should be kept well cultivated to
a radius of about two feet. Watering
is unnecessary except in severe dry
weather Never plant peonies where
the crowns are likely to be covered
with water longer than very short
time. Peonies under water for several
days are likely to be very quickly
spoiled.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1916-11-24

Peonies are grown from a division
of old plants and also from seed. From
seed they require from five to eight
years to come into full bloom. The
following is a short list of very choice
sorts:
OfIicinalis tenuifolia, very early
crimson; oficinalis rubra, old early
red; La France, La France rose color;
festiva maximi, paper white, center

that Mr.. Llnheld was interested In

Bile to be true!
He wished he had kept those notes,
but II would have been impossible any
way to have seen much resemblance
between the large handwriting Of Mar
iorle and the microscopic lettering of
the pigeons messages. But could
Marjorie have written those? And de-
sgnedly?
II was late in the evening, but he put

house. Marjorie was still up. Yes,
she would see him, Presently she
came down 10 the room in which
Charlie was waiting.

said Marjorie, In her tone of gentle re-
proof.
Marjorie, did you write those let
ters?" he asked bluntly. "Those on
the pigeons legs?"
A flood Of red rushed to her face.
"What do you mean?" she stammered.
Did you mean the pigeon to come
to me?" he continued.
She looked overcome by the dlscov-
cry. She clasped and unClasped her
hands nervOusly as she answered:
ayes, ! did write them, but l did not
mean the pigeon to go to you. You are

The glow in her face, her heaving
breast lent her charm that Charlie
had never seen before. He advanced
to her in agitation and took her
hands
"Why do you hate me, Marjorle?" he
asked.
Because you do not love me, and
you know l cannot break my engage

Marjorie, how long have you felt
