HAD HIS OWN EXPLANATION
Man Viewing MlIlais' "Trust Me" Gave
Novel Interpretation Of Picture
to Companion.

A1ady and gentleman were standing
before picture by Millais, called
Trust Me-" in which an elderly squire
confronts his daughter, who holds a
letter behind her back.
The picture admits of more explana-
tiOns than one. for Mr.. Millais has that
rare faculty of putting blended express
sions into his faces which puzzle us,
as the expression of real faces do, says
London Tit-Bits.
But the one this gentleman was over
heard giving his companion is as new,
We will be bound to say, to the painter
as to our readers. "You see," he said,
"she has got letter in her hand which
she is keeping back from the man in
the red coat. Well. he is the postman,
and has just given her the letter;
suppose it's from abroad. She hasn't
the money to pay the postage, so she
says, Trust me-"
The explanation was given with per.
feet gravity, and in apparent good
faith. 1t was gratefully accepted in
the same spirit, and the lady seemed
proud Of her companions intelligence
in so rapidly reading the riddle.

On CLOSING the Eyes,

Going to and from your place OF
employment In street cars or In autos
close your eyes. There is nothing to
see worth seeing. The streets through
which you pass are lined with COM
monplace shops. The boulevards nre
lined With hOrrid billbOards that ad-
vertise tobacco and liquors. The wOm-
en- and girls on the cur are not worth
flirting with. The men are all closely
shaven. They look more like women
than the women look like themselves.
Close your eyes. Shut out the beastly
spectacle Of modern civilization. Glad
stone used to always close his eyes
when there was no need to use them.
He rested his eyes at every opportun-
ity. Do you then likewise. Gladstone
got along without glasses until ripe
old age.-Los Angeles Times.

Destroying Old Letters.

There is only one good way to clean
your desk Of old letters. That. is sim
ply to take out each drawer in its turn
and turn it upside down over the
waste-basket, without regard to whsth-
er there is anything valuable in the
contents. There isn't anything valu-
able there. or you wouldn't have cast
1t among the old letters In the first
place. Furthermore, II you begin re-
reading letters, you know 1t, and you'll
wind up with almost as burdensOme
an accumulation us you started with.
And you know before you start that
the letters you'd like to keep are the
ones you dare not keep, especially II
you're married. So throw them all
away at once. 1t will set an admirable
example to your wife, who has an at
tic full of the same grade of junk

FISHING AT NEDERLAND
is UP TO STANDARD

The fishing season has started with
some promising records from the
lakes near Nederland and Eldora.
Although it is little too early for
the fishing in the streams to be good.
these lakes are bringing many peo-
pie into the hills. and are making
HISTORY every day. that equals the
stories the old-timers can tell.
In Jasper LAKE and Glacier lake,
and from Lake Eldora. quantities Of
fish, often averaging a pound apiece,
are constantly being caught. The
Devlin lakes near Caribou, at the
head of Devln Creek are especially
good at this time.
AS sctn as the high waters of the
streams go down, the region around
Nederland will be up to or a little
above the standard of good fishing
that ii has held fer some time, ac-
cordfrg to A. II. Price of the Neder-
land Fish ard Game Club.
mo ere need lie afraid of catch,
irg all oIr fish" said Price, ''be-

Some Neglected Foods.

Among the foodstuffs that American
housekeepers have scarcely utilized are
turnip tops. radish tops, mustard
plants, sOrrel and chick peas, among
the vegetables, and the cheese prodSct
that can be extracted from whey. The
green's mentioned may all be cooked
like spinach or they may be made into
delicious cream soups, as they have
been for centuries by European house
wives. Enough sorrel grows in the
average vacant lot In every city to
make many purees or cream soups.
Chick peas are as nutritious -
beans, and when served in a broth IRE
just as tasty. They also can be made
into puree. Radish tops and mus
tard leaves make cheap and appe-
tixing salad.

WHAT HIS FACE DISCLOSED
Would Let No One Stop Him From
Having What He Wanted.

In his new book of personal rec
ollactions, ''In Good Company" Coul-
son Kernahan tells characteristic an
ecdote about Edward Whymper, the
famous traveller and mountaineer.
The two men had gone for Sunday
morning ramble, and after walking
some four miles they came to q way
side inn.
Said Whymper: II had some very
salt bloaters for breakfast. Do you
mind II call in here and slake my
thirst?"
1t was within the prohibited hours,
but Whymper, nevertheless, knocked
sharply and loudly in his usual master
full way, and when the door was
opened by a frowsy-looking man in
shirtsleeves, said dryly, in more senses
than one:
II am thirsty and want a drink,
please"
"Are you a bona fide traveller" in
quired the man.
This rather tickled Whymper, who,
glancing down at his dusty attire, in
quired of the landlord II he didn't look
like one.
II don't KNOW" replied the man,
looking at Whymper very hard in the
face. "but I'll tell you what you do look
like If you wish. You look to me
like a man who, II he's made up his
mind to have drink, would have it
whether he was q bona fide traveller
or not, and, what's more, wouldn't let
no one stop him from having it,

IRRIGATE POTATOES
DO NOT SPRINKLE

This year more potatoes have been
planted ON small lots in the cities
ard towTs i'm this state than ever be-
fcre, and word of advice TO these
growers may be of material help to
them.
Whenever possible, potatoes shcmld
net be irrigated by the sprtnkling
method-that is, water should not be
applied on the foliage, but in burrows
between the rows. This permits the
water to reaSh the root system with
out coming in direct contact with 1t.
1t is always better to apply the water
in the evening, as 1t Will keep the
sell ccoler, and also prevent exoes-
sNe talirg of the sell.
Potatoes require loCee or open
scil, and fer this reason, the potato
patch should be cultivated frequently
so as to prevent The surface soil from
crustirg or ba. irg. Always cultivate
as soon as possible after ea:h irriga'
tion. especially during the first two
mon hs. When The vines cover the
rows, cultivation should cease. BY
frequent and thoro cultivation, less
frequent irrigation is needed Toe
much water inter-erss with the fer
nation OF tuters.
Cne reason Why so many growers
obtain only vines, is because of the
practice CT sprinkling the potatoes
instead of applying the water direct
to the sell in the burrows between she
rows.-E. p. Sardsten, Colorado Ag
