FINDS TRUTH IN A GARDEN
Little Miss Learns That Beautiful
Flowers Grow From Seeds and
Not From Wealth of Owner.

Two children played in q Southern
garden. The garden was a marvel of
color and beauty. 1t surrounded the
home of the boy whose parents were
called very well TO do"
The little girl was the only child of
mother who found it cheaper to
board"
The dainty feminine creature fit
ted along the walks and across the
grass, taking toll of blossoms where
she listed. There was no verboten.
The boy followed rather stolidly, ac-
cepting the care of the flowers when
the lunches grew too large for the
smaller hands.
At last the little girl seated herself
on bench and rested her curly head
against q tree. Her blue eyes, resting
upon the beauty before them, glowed
with appreciation.
"Oh-h-h! The be-yu-tiful garden y"
she sighed.
Then, turning to the boy, ITS be-
cause you are rich that you have such
lovely flowers, isn't it, Billy?"
NO" said the boy, stolid as always.
