WITH MISS BELINDA'S BLESSING

phlox: If we have phlox we won't need it.'
 ''But, Mabel, a garden isn't complete without all those old fashioned flow ers."
 Then I suppose you'l want pe- tunias, zinnias and lady's slippers. I wanted roses and Roses are quite old fashioned,' Miss Belinda could not forbear interrupt Ing. You remember that Nero had his banquet halls streWn with rose leaves and Omar speaks of roses and isn't there a tradition that altar of rose was used by the queen of Sheba? believe that nearly all flowers are old fashfoned and yet how wonder fully new they are each season. Will you have Q large bed of perpetual boomers? l can give you the names Of some splendid hybrid roses. You must cut them back quite severely each spring, really near the ground, you know. Then you will have a wealth of bloom But we are going to have rose arbor," objected the young man.
 Then you'll have to have climbers"
 W hat we are really going to have is a long pergola leading from the porch of the house to the sun dial" intenposed the young woman. Ger aid, l don't see why you spoke of an ar6or. Nobody has arbors any more!"
 T seem to be hopelessIy out of date" laughed the young man, good naturedly. "Wen, then I'll make a list of the climbing roses. You are awfully kind"
 Yes, indeed!" added the girl. 'They told US at the hotel that you would explain everything about gardens and we truly appreciate it. Of course Gerald thinks he knows a lot because he remembers his grandmother gar- den, but don't suppose he can actual ly tell a snap glove from a fox dragon, can VOIl. Gerald dear ''
 Perhaps not, but I do know a lion dandy when see one"
 Miss Belinda Joined in the youths laughter
 Now, Gerald. I know you're trying to tease me, and you promised not to. Be seriousi Don't you think we ought to have other things besides roses on the pergola? There's honeysuckle and ivy and what is that vine over there with the large purple blossoms ?'
 "Clematis jackmani," answered Miss Belinda
 Wouldn't that do well on the per gola?"
 It needs plenty Of sun. Will your pergola be out in the open CT under trees ?"
 Why, We've don't know yet. You see, Gerald and I--"
 ''We are merely going to board this summer said the young man, bravelp. "In the fall we shall take fiat for a while, but some day we are surely go- ing to have house and a big beauti- ful garden like this''
 Yes we decided that last evening when we motored by here on cur way from the train,' agreed the girl, ''only we shall have 9 pergoIa."
 q would by all means" said Miss Belinda, gravely, "and why not have a fountain. too, bubbling out of messy wall?"
 |Oh, Gerald, let's! Thank you so much for the suggestion"
 Don't mention it.' Miss Belinda shook hands with the boy and girl, and as she watched them walk away she smiled wistfully. 'I hope it won't be a garden CT discord" she murmured -Exchange.

My scope of vision is such that no matter where I look in this country I do not see the hyphan That is a word no self respecting American would have tackled to himself. Why bring in the Hebrew or German? The gentleman is blessed with hindsight by mentioning the Hebrew They are ever loyal. never heard of any American of Irish descent prov ing -disloyal to this country. And if Mir. c. will look up our history he will not find it ever said hyphenated.

At the sound of somewhat argtlmen- tative voices Miss Belinda, who was wedding her aster bed, strengthened her back and lifted her head. Then she glanced into the earnest faces of two young people.
 Good morning" she said, pleasantly.
 Good morning." returned the girl. I've were just looking at the flowers. y
 I'm always happy to have visitors in my garden. Just now I'm anxious to get rid of the last of this pestifer- ous purslane. but in a moment I'll be glad to walk around with you. In the meantime, pray make yourselves at home."
 Thank you. We don't wish to dis turb you at all," said the young man. ''But if you will just tell us what that grateful" He waved the hat in his hand toward a rosy blossom.
 That is a hibiscus"
 There now, Gerald" laughed the young woman, T knew that wasn't mallow, as you insisted"
 Well, anywy, dear, knew it wasn't a hollyhock, so I came as nerr as you.
 "A little nearer" smilinglf remarked Miss Belinda, flor rose maf1ow is one name for that hibiscus"
 ''Now, Mabel, you see I'm not utterly ignorant about the names of flowers. My grandmother had @ wonderful garden and we must have all the things she had. Wen have 8 row of hollyhocl1s against the garage. They'll be beautifully effective against the gray cement"
 But have decided to have phlox there, Gerald! A thick bank of phlox will be perfectly stunning. Isn't phlox good hardy p1ant?" She turned to Miss Belinda, who rose from her knees, for there is nothing more fascinating to her than the planning of a garden.
 "Yes, indeed, phlox is hardy. I con- slider it an almost perfect perennial. It's extremely satisfactory in a hardy border"
 "A hardy border? We must have a hardy border. Sweet peas will be lovely in it."
 why, Mabel. sweet peas aren't hardy"
 the sirl routed charmingly. Tt doesn't matter whether they are hardy or not, they're lovely"
 Yes, of course they are, but thought our border wsa to be all per ennials. Shouldn't it be?" He turned to Miss Belinda.
 That's just a matter of taste. The tall perennials make 9, good back ground and then you can fill in little vacancies with pansies, Shasta daisies, dwarf larkspur and all sorts of lovely things. There's Sweet William and"
 "Oh, Sweet William. That was one of grandmother's favorites"

It was better to do what was ilnme- diately necessary first and then pro ceed to the framing of legislation de- signed to prevent any recurrence of the situation-Washingt Post.
 ''F'or the first time in our history an American president has failed to rec ogntze what our fathers taught, that the first duty of @ nation is to protect it's citizens in every part of the world" This is Charles s. Birds, the Massa- chusetts progressive's arraignment of Wilson.

 It appears that the folks who hold jobs in state, county, city and town of fees have a union and that they're well organized enough to hold con- vention: One of the features of this is a plan for a minimum wage of $2.50 a day with a. half holiday Sat urday. Considering the ease with which better wages were secured and the ease with which jobs are secured, it seems hardly necessary to have a union for such workers.

 The city of New Haven is under
 the heaviest obligation born of intelli-
 and policemen in it's employ a living
 wage. The ability of the community
 10 bear the burden of the cost of gov ernment has it's limit beyond the mere
 ability of individuals to pay the tax
 tare without distress. cfty's credit
 in 8 financial way and in a manufac-
 turing way is determined, in part, by
 the local rate of taxation. At the
 same time the actual needs of the
 men in the employ of a city must be taken into consideration if the quality
 of the service given is to be main
 tafned at a proper standard Of effici- ency.-New Haven Journa11Courier. Dennis A.

He FINDS Law FOR IT
George Hayden Says City Can Vote
Auditorium Bonds.

George p. Hayden, city attorney, is
still digging into the law books but he
has reached the conclusion that the
law is sufficiently broad in its scope to
permit Topeka to vote bonds for an
auditorium and to condemn land for
an auditorium site.
Il have been doubtful about it,
said Mr.. Hayden today, but after go
ing pretty well into the matter l find
that the law is pretty broad.

for building or repairing any public

1t has become evident in the last
four days that if the city increases
