WHAT SHE CouI.n.

In 4 large mining city in CaIifor-I

N lid. Twice in = single week death
had stricken her home; her two
children had left her SO suddenly
that for many years the shock had
ieft her virtually paraiyzed. But.
although her body was stricken, her
mind was clear, and her heart was
rich with unselfish love for other
persons who suffered and for the
children OF other homes. says the
Youths Companion.
She always had smile and kind
word for the school children who
trooped BY her home, and as she SAT
there by her window day by day
there came to her mind the vision
'of q service that she might do. 1t
was such simple service that 1t
would have seemed to many persons
scarcely worth while. Nevertheless.
she asked the children to help, and
they responded gladly. On one day

stick OF wood and potato. and
their collective offering was to be
distributed to the poor of the town

Pruning

One pruning need which all types
OF roses have in common Is for rad
zeal shortening at planting time.
From one-half to two-thirds OF the
wood should be removed. After the
first year pruning for border and
lawn roses should consist in remoy-
ing dead or weak wood aud crossing
branches. Cutting off the ends OF
branches should be avoided. 1t is
preferable to take out Whole
branches. Every five or six years The
whole top should be cut back. II is
