Go in and Sit Down

What are you going to do Easter Sunday?
Go into church and sit down. Stay sit until the end
of the service and keep your open and your mind
what the preacher is saying. Then 60 home and think
over what he had to say. Don't give his words passing
thought and then let your mind slide back into the old fin
ancal groove.
Take his discourse subject by subject and anayze it
thoroughly Pick out the good points and study them
infinitely you discover them. You spend several
hours very pleasantly in this work. and the end of that
time you may be amazed at the feeling of peace and
tentment that prevades your being. *"
You will find that there many things you knew
that had been fogoen these many years. and when they
from memory their value practically to exist
Go to church Easter!
Set an example to the young people of your family
and of other peoples families Let them judge you by
what you are and not by what others may have say
you. Let your actions afford them the opportunity
for Judging.
There's church around the corner and the door swings
outward to very human being The hand of welcome beck
to you and the still voice of conscience calling
you.

WARD A NATURAL HUMoRIS7
Famous Artemus Had No Need ts Force His Mind When He Chose
 to Be Funny.

One of the village women who knew Artemus Ward, the dry New England humorist of a generation past, is re sponsible for the following:
 "Artemus was always funny, ever in his ordinary talk He bought { house near New York, at Yonkers, ant invited his mother to go to visit him 'Artemus, she said, If do go some time how shall know your house? Oh, you'll know 1t by the cupola ane the mortgage that are on it, he tol1 her."
 Another contemporary of Ward telli how on one occasion when he got strapped" he went up to a man ht knew and said, eff it's not too mucl out of place wish you'd lend me some money"
 The man was willing and handed over what Artemus said he needed anc then asked when he'd pay 1t back We'll Artemus answered, "I'll bt pretty busy on Resurrection day; lett call it the day after
 "But the greatest joke he ever per petrated," this same friend continues was the will he made over in Eng land. He called in all the nobility tc witness it and disposed of his property as if he were millionaire. Really hs didn't have darn cent"

BEAUTY OF THE HYDRANGEA
By LIMA R. ROSE.

Inquiries have come in about good fall towering shrubs. It is likely if vote were taken for the best late towering, hardy shrub the honor would fall to the Hydrangea.
 While there are shrubs that I like better, this one seems to suit the masses. It has the merit of extreme hardness, easy culture, great forifer- ousness, late blooming and persistent.
 It's flowers lose their early white ness as the season advances, but in their pinky-brown stage they are not without attractiveness, and even after snow comes they afford pleasing eff fects when seen against background of pure white
 In planting the Hydrangea I would never advise using it singly. It is vastly more effective when grouped By this means we secure for it a strength and dignity which single specimens never have.
 The enormous heads of the bloom have considerable weight, but they are all the more attractive when they cause the branches to take on a graceful curve.

may wait for the first towering for the third year.
 If these are transplanted to the veg etable garden, which is, or should be protected from the poultry and ami mals, and allowed to grow undisturbed for the first season, much will be gained. They can then be set where the coming spring, early enough to get good start in growth, before hot, dry weather comes.
 For those who have nothing started and little money to buy with, the 'col- lections'' sent out by florists are full of promise. Many of our best seed men advertise this collection at very low cost to the customer, as trial or ders, hoping te keep the customer by sending out good seeds and plants.
 See that you get the trial collection of a reliable firm; otherwise it is money thrown away.
 Study the catalogues, especially the directions for preparing soil and plant ing seeds A good floral magazine is worth taking and they come now at very low cost
 When your plants come up, refer to the description and magazine and give them the botanical name; it is just as easy as using nickname.
 Do not try to raise fruits, flowers, or vegetables in a happy-go-lucky style; give time and thought to the planting, placing and after culture, if you would reap worthy reward.
 You must pay price for everything worth having, whether the price be money or intelligent care.

STUDY THE CATALOGUES
By LIMA R. ROSE.

When looking over the catalogues which come to us for the asking we are often delighted into covetousness by the description of shrubs, vines and perennials, but the price asked, al though merely nominal, place the flor ist's plants beyond our reach.
 In that case, we nave but to give a little time and patience to sowing seeds and caring for the delicate plants in order to have our longings gratified. The first thing to dc is to send our order to reliable firm. The next is to give intelligent care to their planting and growing.
 Seeds of most of the desirable or namental vines, shrubs, biennials and perennials germinate readily, while others are slow in sprouting, but if planted in good soil and allowed time the reward is sure.
 We should inform ourselves on these subjects as much as possible before undertaking the work.
 During February and March is usu- ally the time selected for getting our window boxes in shape, and in these boxes may be planted the seeds, to- gether with many bulbous and tuber- ous rooted varieties of plants. The seeds may be had in mixed packages for ten cents each, or single.
 Do not overlook the orchid when planning next years flowers.
 These seeds may be purchased by one person, the plants raised to trans. planting size and sold for a few cents each to others, thus covering cost of seeds and care, CT several may throw in'' and divide the seeds when they come.
 The former plan may be the more economical, as not everyone makes a success of growing plants from seeds.
 It is not always we'll to buy your seeds of your country merchant; your merchant may be honest, but his mer- chant may not be. Send to a reliable firm, send early and get what you pay for. Do not confine yourself to an nuals, but SOW the perennial seeds and after the first year you will have little trouble.
 Nothing adds to the attractiveness of home place more than thrifty vines, and for most places, perennial vines are best. For temporary screens, annual vines will do. Seeds should be started indoors. early and trans planted frequently in order to make the plants stalky, and as soon as the ground gets warm they may be set out where they are to remain.
 Many of these will grow but little at the top for the first year, but will be making root growth and be getting ready to make to progress afterwards. Some of the shrubs and perennials, and even the biennials may give scant bloom the first year, and some

731e Happy Re1e SC
 6
By GEORGE MUNsoN

His wife's kiss was still on his lips, the happy laughter of his child rang in his ears. He sat at the door of the cottage and looked about him.
 Roger Latham was one of the most prosperous settlers in the Western valley. He hsd gone there a dozen years before, had taken out claim, had made the wilderness to blossom. Now he was a weu.to-do man, and in a few years would be rich one.
 He was married to the sweetest woman in the world. His life was idyllic He could wish for no better fortune.
 Only he was totally ignorant of anything that had happened during those twelve years, except during the last two weeks. He had had to be told even his name, his wife's and child's. And, though he had picked his way cautiously, so that they only thought his strangeness was the re- suit of the buggy accident two weeks before, he found himself confronted with a past, long since forgotten.
 In this part his name was Roger Latham, but everything else seemed different. He had left college five years. He was married to a society woman, and unhappily married. Often he had planned to leave her and go West, letting her keep his fathers for tune, which he had inherited. He had known that it was his money she had always coveted, not himself. Yet he had tried to live on with her, in the hope that some day they would come together.
 He recalled the misery of those years, when life, for all his wealth, seemed hopeless. He had been on the point of throwing up everything and going to Oregon. And after that there was complete blankness.
 He had awakened to feel Lucy's lips upon his own, to hear his child calling him. She told him that he had been injured in buggy accident The doctor smiled at his lapse of memory and told him that it would come back to him. But the memory that had returned was that of some life of long ago, in which he seemed another man.
 During those two weeks of silent misery he studied everything minute

Blurred Speech.

The use of the ungranmatical colo. quialisms of which we are all more or less guilty has deleterious influence on the character. Slang has the same effect. They put a person in rut where one gets along without think. ing. But the wrong of the opposite situation reveals it. Take a person who is careful in his speech, uhe chooses his words and carefully frames his sentences and you become aware immediately of thoughtful effort, and you feel that there is something clean in the persons mind. And the utter. ance is not only clean, but it is clear and therefore sincere. There is some thing manly in simple, direct expres sion. You may be sure that ungram fnaticai phrase and suffering slang lack both moral and mental impulse.- Columbus Journal.

Educators, ResoonsibiIitv.

When we elected to be directors oi secondary education rather than teach CTS of special subjects we accepted as our main task the guidance of youth to life and the development of trus ideals of conduct in that life. We must not shirk our responsibility Much as we may love science or ouI language, and necessary as study is to their successful presentation, ou. great problem is to familiarize our selves with the vacations of today, that we become fit guides not only to finan cial success but to character success in these fields.-W H.
