ABOUT GARDENS.

Once more / take my pen in hand

land, bestrewn with intermittent
seeds designed to furnish eating
It's quite a time-worn theme 1

they grow-of cabbagss and how
they hatch, hard by the young
potato patch.
] look with envy in my aye a.
every garden growing guy, who
wrestles weeds and raises beds
OF Aters, peas and lettuce heads.
A profitable job, ami slick,
to do the produce raising trick.

Men and Business
BY RICHARD SPILLANE.

After the man had left the train
he missed his knife. IL WAS a COM
paratively new knife and II was Of
GOOD, well-tempered steel. which
cannot be seid of all knives you
buy nowadays. He had laid IT on
the seat beside him and. becoming
absorbed in some reading, lad FOR
gotten about il.
Man like. when he realized that
his knife was lost he said lot
Of harsh things to himself for his
carelessness or stupidity or Doth'
but that didn't avail much, even
IN the way CT soothing his feelings
so he went to the station at HaV-
erford and told his tale of woe
and asked IL the agent would iE-
quire If the brakeman or pas
senye~ lad found It.
Next night the agent reported
They've found your knife: brake
man turned IL in at Paoli.
"rd like to reward that brake
man." said the careless man.
That's not necessary unless you
want to-" said the agent.
Before the man got his knife he
had to describe 1t to the Lost and
Found man in the Broad Street sta
tion and tell of the train in which
he lost il and the car in which he
sat.
Then the knife was given to him
I'D like to compensate that
brakeman" he started to say.
Not necessary unless you wish.
the l.. and F. man responded In
stereotyped style.
The careless man wished. Not
only that. but he has told and re-
told the story of the knife
to friends. He likes to tell
it. That's why he Is telling il
here. And persons he has told IL
TO have told him their stories oi
scrupulous honesty on the part OF
Pennsylvania Railroad men. The
one narrated by John w. Coles. the
lumber man, is unique. Coles left
an overcoat in a train. He didn't
miss il for some time. Then he was
too busy to start an inquiry. A
month or so later he got a package
from one of his business friends ir
Alabama. In it was his overcoat
There was a letter in the overcoa'
with the address of the Alabama
man. The railroad people had for
warded the coat to Alabama and the
Ala baman had sent II back to JohI
w. Coles.
But the careless man thinks hi!
fexperience is the best. "Findin's II
keepin's" usually where a knife II
concerned. No one but a rigidlI
honest man returns a knife he finds
The owner of the knife does no
know the brakeman who found th'
knife. but he holds him in esteem
for that brakeman is OF the clss
and the kind that has made IT pos
sible for the Cassatts, the McCreas
the Reas and the Atterburys to viii
for the Pennsy its proud position a
the model railroad of America.
The little things in the aggregat
make the big things in life, in or
ganizations. in character buildini
and in reputation, whether of men
of firms or of mighty corporations
Because of that all this space |
given to the story of three-blade'
knife.

A PRAYER.

ohe thing pray for for today:
That 4 may truly earn my pay
Not that small wage that comes to
In the good coin of currency,
But that far richer wage in life.
The strength to meet the press OF
strife.
And all the loving gifts of light,
OF sweet fresh air. and restful night:
The loves that round about me
dwell,
The songs of birds, the magic spell
OF blooming trees. and perfumec
= flowers.
That GOD hath woven into hours
For my delight pray to be
Worthy OF all these gifts to me.
