GARDEN LESSON NO. ~.

The number and variety of garden
peas that is now being grown is very
large, and it would seem correct to
say that each has more or less merit
to recommend it. In small gardens,
however. the choice Of varieties to
plant should rather be confined to the
dwarf varieties because Of the rela-
lively small amount of room which
they occupy.
The large varieties must be support
ed by brush. or by poles.
OF the many varieties Of dwarf peas
the American Wonder stands in the
front rank and is probably more
Grown than any other at the present
time. 1t grows to the height OF ten to
twelve inches and is quite hardy. It
comes early into bearing and is a great
producer. The quality is most excel
lent, and by varying the time OF SOW
ing the bearing season may be much
prolonged.
The soil best suited to peas is a
clay loan. 1t may be of heavy tex
ture- Peas will not flourish under hot
weather conditions. In the North peas
may be sowIi as soon as the ground
Is dry enough to work, usually about
the middle OF April, but the sowins

Senator, in Cynical Mood,
Writes Fable on Treasury
Thomas, of Colorado, Indicates How Former
Competitive Thrift of the Parties Has Now
Become Competitive Lavishness.

Foreword-There is one man in
the Senate who missed his calling.
He is Senator Thomas, of Colorado,
economist, philosopher. statesman and
last but not least, a writer of fables.
Tired of witnessing repeated attempts
to raid the National Treasury, the
Senator, in a cynical mood wrote
the following fable:
The Senator'S Table.
''Once upon time, when Uncle
Sam was youthful. he had to make
his own way in the world. He was
therefore careful to live within his
income. Being thrifty. he amassed
wealth sufficient for all his pur-
poses. albeit these were many. In
those days his money vaults were
guarded by faithful and courageous
animals called 'wa:chdogs of the
Treasury
Then. as now, Uncle Sans in
creasing family was divided into
factions bearing attractive and in
spring appellations. He committed
the mana cement of his affairs first
to one and then to another of these
factions as their changing prepon-
derance in numbers required. Each
of these factions championed econ
omy with great vociferation, and
each claimed a monopoly of this
virtue. Both had their watchdogs,
who succeeded with their masters
in the guardianship OF the Treas
ury. Hence. Uncle Samuel took nc
great concern as to the safety OF
his strong box. and especially since
the watchdogs on duty were
watched in turn by the dogs in tenn
porary retirement.
Moreover. each of Uncle Sans
factions contended that its watch
dogs were the only thoroughbreds
and those of the opposition were
mongrels and coyotes masquerade
ing as dogs of pedigree. Uncle
Sam was pleased with this situa-
tion. since theft or misappropria.
tion would be detected and exposed
/ by factional sclf-interest. promptly
followed by an early and complete
substitution of watchdogs.
''As time progressed, these great fac.
| tions established the custom of hold,
| ing quadrennial pride and alarm
meetings. They were so called be,
cause the factious at these meetings
always paraded their own virtues anc
watchdogs with great pride anC
viewed the vices of the other factor
and its watchdogs with great alarm
