They had been introduced only a few minutes before and were wandering through the garden trying to make conversation. The beautiful weather had received full and careful attention, the condition of the lilac and rose bushes had been discussed, and then came silence. Both were beginning to feel awkward when Jacks eye lighted on a bulb lying partly hidden by bor- der. True to the instincts of football player, he gave it delft kick that sent it spinning along the gravel walk.
 ''The gardener must have dropped 1t when he was planting the crOcuses, said Betty, glad to hear her own voice again.
 Perhaps he just laid it aside there because he didn't want a hyacinth among them" Jack replied, picking up the bulb, and then. being a true Oma- rian. he could not resist quoting: 'I sometimes think that never blows so red The rose as where some buried Caesar
 bled;
 That every hyacinth the garden wears Dropped in her lap from some once lovely
 head"
 Well" ,"said Betty, with mischtevous smile, "Donald's head may have been lovely once, but it must have been be- fore he took to gardening. At present he is very bald, and the little fringe of hair he has left is decidedly red. His are hardly the 'hyacinth locks Milton had in mind, and doubt if Emerson would have recognized him as "The hyacinthine boy for whom Morn we'll might break and April bloom. :"
 You are fond of poetry, I see," said Jack when they had stopped laughing at her sally.
 Very" said Betty, but you started us on the wrong tack if we are to do justice to that neglected lNtle bulb. You should have recited Holmes lines: ''The spendthrift crocus, bursting through
 the mold,
 Naked and shivering with his cup of gold"
 But don't see how that applies to this hyacinth."
 "Pardon me-to that crOcus. l took a high stand in botany when I grad uated. It was one of the optional studies in my course, and l plugged four volumes in two weeks.
 That may be-" he replied; but. though my knowledge of botany is en- tirely boOkish. I'll leave 1t to the prac- tical and red haired Donald to prove

Pluhtlnu In the Ar.

Before an aviator is prepared to en. gage another flyer in battle he should know how to loop the loop, do a nose or vertical dive, execute a tail spin, a tail slide or any other of the so called stunts" said Miss Ruth Law.
 Fighting in the air is fighting for position. Consequently 1t is largely a business of lodging. The man who is the better dOdger, who has the most tricks up his sleeve, is the man who Is going to win. have seen men stop controlling their machines altogether and simply fall through space for sev- eral thousand feet.
 "The point of this, of course, is to give the opposing fl1er the idea that the plane has been struck. The Oppos- ing aviator, thinking he has put his enemy out of commission, will start away. Then the plunging air man will switch on his power, regain control of his machine and Overtake his enemy without the latter knowing he is ap- preaching. Such tactics naturally are used at great alt1tudes."-New York Tribune

Married to Trsss In India.

Under the very shadow of the tele- graph pole we find the tree w0rshipers of India. Many kinds of trees are w0r- shiped fin India for many kinds of req sons. Some are supposed to be the abode of demons who must be pro pitiated. The sacred bo tree under which Buddha received enlightenment is wOrshiped by pilgrims who come fin thousands.
 In some small villages where there are more women than men 1t often happens that there are no men of equal caste to the girl whose time has come to marry. Since the tree repre- sents a deity which can assume any rank or caste, the parents of mar riageable daughter who has become q burden to the family take her to the village tree god and marry her to him. She is bound to the tree and left either to the mercy of prowling wild beasts or to be rescued by the first male of q lower caste who is in search of help meet-WOrld Outlook.

The Swedish monarch, Charles XII, found himself besieged by the Turks and virtually a prisoner To while away the tedium of his captivity he would indulge in an occasional game at chess-even when Turkish bullets were flying around-with his friend Grothusen.

When Jack went away on the annual

When Jack went away on the annual yachting cruise of the club Betty found a peculiar pleasure in tending to the mysterious little plant that was strange ly familiar although she could not re- member ever having seen one in gar den. While watering it and removing every weed that dared to appear it brought back to her many pleasant memories, and she had a sense of con- panionship while watching 1t. And when it finally put forth the blossom that betrayed it's identity she blushed l and laughed and blushed again when she wondered what Jack would say when he saw it.
 Yachting is a most leisurely pastime and gives one ample opportunities for thought. Before the cruise was over Jack had made for himself an unac. 1 cOuntable reputation for silence and unsociabllity. Those who observed him noted that he frequently smiled to him self and shook their heads ominously. Toward the end of the cruise 1t was seen that his face had taken on the se- rlousness of a great resolution, and 1t was evident that his mind had been made up finally on some matter of the | gravest importance.
 When Betty saw him coming up the garden path after his return she was smltten with sudden confusion. but she managed to greet him with proper dig n1ty. After the usual exchange of com pllments and q few inquiries on her part regarding the cruise the conversa- ton became monOsyllabic. As usual on such occasions she reverted to the bulb to start 1t again.
 "I have taken good care of our bulb since you left. It has bIossomed at last"
 "I have also watched the growth of something you planted, and it has also blOssOmed," he said like one who had carefully rehearsed a part.
 ''That l planted? don't under stand. And she looked at him with wide eyed wonder. She observed, how ever, that he looked very athletic and that a tanned complexion became him.
 "Y-yes. have watched what you planted, and it has blossomed into love. have come to ask if you will care for that flower in my heart forever"
 Being of a poetic temperament, how could she refuse a proposal SO poetic When the matter was settled, with pretty fOrmalities too sacred for the eyes of outsiders, she looked up at him and exclaimed:
 Wouldn't you like to see the other plant? It turns out to have been very significant"
 Tt doesn't bear orange blossoms, does itY"
 Mot exactly, but it bears something almost as appropriate"
 Well, it will be the favorite plant in our garden some day. In fact, think I'll have a whole garden full of it.''
 Il have found how it got here," she explained as they passed through the garden. "One of DOnald's children brought it home from the woods and put it among the bulbs. He recognized it and threw it away"
 When Jack saw the plant he laughed loudly, and their laughter mingled into music. On the little mound where Bet ty had planted the bulb there bloOmed as fine a jack-in-the-pulpit as any one would wish to see.
 Tt looks just as if 1t were ready to perform the marriage service and give us its blessing" said Jack as he kneel- ed to remove a little weed that showed its head near by.
 Betty very appropria tely kneeled be- side him.

Boiled Milk.

When boiling milk most people throw away the skin which forms as the milk cOols. This skin is, of course, the cream of the milk, and by throwing it away the richness of the milk is vast ed. Instead, when the milk is just boiled, put it into a jug and stand it in basin not as deep as the jug and let cold water run into the basin to cool the milk quickly. At the same time stir the milk, and the cream will intermix again. When the milk is cold there will be no skin, and it will there fore be as rich in cream as before be- ing boiled.

After You've Had a Fiaht.

The world would be much better if every man were as kind and good al- ways as he Is just after he has had a fight or a near fight. When he has cooled off he is glad to do just any thing he can for anybody. If you want a match he will hunt one for you; if you want to borrow a knife he has his out in a minute, and he opens it for you; if you borrow a pencil from him he will say, Keep that one if you want to; have another" It just looks as If his only purpose in living is to help other people.-Claude Callan in Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

A Victoria clergyman had an orange and pine tree in his garden One spring it was noticed that the orange tree was dropping, and on digging down he found that the roots of the pine, which stood at some distance, had twisted around the taproot of the orange tree and were strangling 1t to death. The offending roots were un- twisted and cut away, and the droop- ing plant revived, The tree eventually died. Then on digging down at a greater depth the clergyman found the pine had attacked the orange root low CT down and accomplished its murder ous end.-London Graphic.

HE VOTED TO SEND ROOSEVELT.

Representatives Patrick H. Kelly of Michigan vote
the so-caed Roosevelt amendment to the draft arm
i'll, and gives his reasons as follows:
want to see the American flag in the trenches
in Europe at once, and for that reason voted for
the so-caled Roosevelt amendment in the selective
draft BILL What inspiring sight to allies,
and what more depressing news to the central pow
ers than the news that former President of the
United States was on his way with $4,000 to 1O0,-
600 men? Whether we love "Teddy" or hate him,
we must admit that he is no Stacker" no molly
cOddle," but fighting man through and through.
AS the little parody on Kiplings Tommy At
kins" runs:
It's Teddy this" and Teddy that" and Teddy
But it's way for Mr. Roosevelt" when the coun-
try's in hole;
When the Nations in a hole, my friend, and the
war clouds rising black,
Then it's Room for Col. Roosevelt for our
Teddy's coming back.
It's Traitor to his party" and it's "Not the peO
But it's "Citizen and patriot" when they hear the
lannon's voice;
When they scent the smoke of battle, boys and
need million men,
It's "Rah for Gen. Roosevelt and who's the
TRAITOR then?
Some people say, "Why should we send our boys
to the trenches of France?" The answer is easy
our liberty is just much at stake the liberty of
France. We going to send an American army
to France to fight the battles of America for the
liberty of America, and the democracy of America.
1t is better to keep the "help there-the rap
ing burning, and destruction of all kinds than to
wait until too late, and then have the "hel" over
here II our allies with our assistance can not de-
feat the central powers now, of what avail would
our feeble efforts be little later? Now is the time
to strike and to strike hard.
Not only are we fighting for liberty but France
and her allies are doing the same. The patriotic
Viviani well expressed it the other day:
"Why do all these people fight?
They fought to elevate all the peoples of the
world toward the ideal and toward liberty; they
fought to make the world place in which men
could breathe freely, and they did not fail
Il salute the hour of victory, with the pious
hope that the spirit Of Washington will become
your spirit.

as high as your flag"
