THE NEW
GARDENER.
BY J. K. MARSHALL.


1t was Sunday afternoon, while
walking in the park, that the idea came
to Thomas Hicks, president and owner
of the Thomas Hicks company, brok-
ers, to visit his old home town, Lynne
wood, In the southern part of Florida.
1t had been ten years since he left
home, and in all that time he had not
been back. In those years he had been
busy and he had made money--plenty
of 1t. Now, he could afford to take the
time for vacation. Then, he had not
been feeling up to par Of late, aud for
the past few weeks memories of the
old happy, care-free life kept coming
to him.
Uppermost among these thoughts
was the memory of the last year he
had spent there, when he and pretty
Martha Wells were engaged. He re-
membered, with an amused smile, the
bitter disappointment of his old rival,
Ben Gwynne, when Martha told him
of their plans. Then came the eve
ming when he told Martha's father of
his plan to sell his old home and use
the money to give him start in the
city.
Mr. Wells would not hear of this
at all. "Whatl" he had exclaimed.
"Sell your home, adjoining mine, and
take my daughter away from me to the
city to live?" OF course if Tom want
ed to sell his home he could not stop
him, but unless he settled down on the
place he could not have Martha. So
Martha had to make her choice.
At first she tried to persuade Tom
to stay; but Tom was ambitious, and
wanted to make money. Then she tried
to change her fathers ideas, but was
without success, And so Martha had
stayed back home with her father,
while Tom went to the city. They had
parted with the hopes that, in very
short time Tom would make good, re-
turn home and buy back the old place;
then he and Martha could be mar
rsed.
After three years of hard work, and
just as he was beginning to realize his
dreams of success, Martha had
stopped answering his letters, and Tom
decided that Martha had ceased to
care for him. Now he was going back

THEORY OF EARTH FORMATION
Its Acceptance Would Explain the
Triangular Shape Of the Worlds r
Continents and Seas.

Any theory which attempts to ex-
plain the formation of our world must
take into account certain curious facts.
Among these is great preponderance
of land in the northern hemisphere
and of water in the southern. Sec
ond: Most oceans and most cOnti-
nents are more or less triangular In
shape, and they nearly all point south
ward. Third: The land forms an al
most unbroken ring in the north and
water in the south. Fourth: If we
place a map of the northern hem
isphere over the southern it will be
found that land never falls over land,
but always over water, except in a
few small patches. These curious
facts have given rise to the so called
"tetrahedral" theory of the formation
of our globe. 1t has been found by
experiment that a round tube, under
pressure, tends to collapse into tri-
angular form, writes Hereward Car
rington in, Leslles. This gives the
greatest amount of surface for the
relative area. Our earth, in cooling,
shrinks, and consequently its spherical
form maintained by its revolution
or spinning) tends to fall into this
triangular or tetrahedral shape. The
result of this Is that certain fiat
surfaces are formed and also certain
points or angles which project. Wa
ter, being fluid, tends to flow on TO the
fiat spaces, being nearer the center
of gravity than the projecting corners,
The result is that the continents"
which correspond on this theory to
the corners, would project or rise
above the level of the water; and II
we examined map of the world with
this theory in view it will be found
that the general conformation of the
land and water and their distribution
ON our globe correspond precisely to
this theory.

Weather an0 Crop Conditions in Wis

The weather of the week was gener-
ally favorable for agricultural opera
tons. The sunshine was adequate, but
the nights were too cool for the best
growth and rain is needed in nearly all
parts of the state. Winter wheat made
excellent progress and spring wheat,
rye, barley, and oats look well. Corn
planting is a little backward in north
ern counties, but in central and south
ern districts it is nearly completed and
some of it is up. Late potato planting
is well advanced. Tobacco beds, mead
ows, and pastures are improving, Fruit
trees are blooming heavily. Garden
truck and berries are somewhat back
ward in most sections.

Mosquito Coast Might Be Made One Of

II Columbus could return today TO
the Mosquito coast which he once
discovered he would find it only slight

lumbus was so favorably impressed by
his visit to Nicaragua that he attempt
ed to establish a settlement on the
Mosquito coast. His project fell
through, not, as might be supposed,
by reason of the name Of the region,
for that name was not given 1t by Co
lumbus, but is a corruption Of the
name Of the Indian tribe that inhabits
the strip Of land.
Mosquito coast has disappointed
other promoters Of colonies also, and
refuses to be turned into a busting,
commonplace trade center. 1t has

A few days later Mrs. Cory felt that
her prejudice had been we'll founded.
Time after time she saw the gardener
stop his work and stand staring across
toward Martha's place.
Gle Is even worse when Martha's
out in the yard" she said. "I'm sure
he has some designs on Martha, or
else he is planning to rob her."
The next afternoon Mrs. Cory
watched him as he worked nearer and
nearer the fence dividing the two
farms. Suddenly he ceased his work
entirely and leaned on the fence. look
Ing steadily at Martha's home.
Now Tom had been longing to go
over and talk to Martha. but then
would come the thought: mo, she
doesn't love me now, and cannot bear
to hear her tell me so. AS things are,
can see her, and that is something"
AS he leaned on the fence he was
tempted. There was no one In sight,
and the lilac bush, under which they
sat the night she had promised to be
his wife, was just a short distance
from the fence He wanted, just once
more, to sit underneath that bush.
That lilac bush was full of memories
to him. He wanted to sit under 1t and
imagine that Martha was with him.
Leaping the fence, he went quickly to
the bush, touching It's blossoms as
though they were sacred.
His meditations were cut short by
the sound of voices coming toward
him. AS he peered cautiously around
the bush he saw Martha and a little
girl approaching. He glanced quickly
around for some means of escape, and
seeing none, stopped lower under the
branches.
The next instant Martha and the lit
tie girl seated themselves on the
other side of the bush not three feet
away from him. And then the childish
voice:
aunt Martha, why do you like to
sit under this bush better than the
others? Did you plant it yourselfT
TOMS heart gave a leap as he
listened breathlessly for Marthas an
swer.
mo, Jeane, dear, man planted 1t
for me-"
"0h, Aunt Martha, do tell mel Is
it the man you have the picture Of |;
the picture l saw you kiss last nightT
AS Martha hesitated two strong
arms folded around her and deep
voice said: "And tell me, too, Martha"
At first Martha gasped with fright.
Then Tom hastily drew off the wig
and glasses, and Martha's look Of
fright turned to one of happifess-then
doubt.
"But, Tom, Ben told me that you
were married to a city girl"
Tom looked surprised. "And that Is
why my letters were not answered?
There has never been room in my heart
for any one but you, Martha"
And the little, romantic Jeane was
satisfied.

It used to be said that it was only
three generations from shirt sleeves

man who worked hard and built up
his own fortune by taking off his coat
and digging in generally had a son
who spent all his money In idleness

had to take off his coat and, like his
Woodworking grandfather 80 to work
TO make his own fortune, a writer In

things are different In these days The
sons of rich men are trained to care
for money trained in their fathers
business so that should their fathers
die they may be able to step IN and
continue the work, aided by competent
assistants. Other young men, when
they get through college, begin to

Sugar Cane Profitable.

Southern farmers are losing a great
opportunity in not devoting more of
their time to sugar cane and its prod
ucts. in the opinion of experts in the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton. The cane syrup industry offers a
big opportunity to growers and manu-
facturers, these men say. But they add
that in order to take advantage of the
opportunity to the fullest extent it is
necessary that selected varieties of
cane be grown and that approved meth
DDS of manufacture be carried out.
These considerations, it is declared, will
make it possible to grade and standard
ize the product properly and that in
turn. especially if supplemented by ad-
vertising, Will enable the syrup makers
to establish wide market for it.
