Great Men From Small Towns.

The little town should be away from
all main lines of travel; otherwise it
is apt to- be small instead of little. The
infrequent motorist may dub it dead
as julius Caesar" but it likes itself
that way. 1t piques itself on it's age,
resents Innovations has no use for
''booms'' or reformers. It's peop,e are
noted for "a sweet unreaSOnableness, "
their kindly neighbOrliness and a
moral rigidity quite out Of fashion,
vet becoming. Many great men have
borne witness to it's charm by return
ing to end their days in the place
where their characters ripened. After
all, the little towns are the seed from
which came the best Of our American
manhood.-Chicago, Tribune.

LEARN TO DEFEND GARDEN
Interest and Willingness Not Sufficient
to Make Up for Lack of Prac-
teal knowledge.

There is, perhaps, love for the soil,
latent or rudimentary, in most of us,
an agricultural instinct that has come
down to us through the generations
since the first gardener. 1t is a taste
easily developed. Soon comes liking
for the smell of the earth upturned
by the pillow, an interest in watching
the breaking Of the plants through
their covering and in noting the varied
characteristics. But skill does not al
ways equal the interest and there must
be intelligence and skill if the garden
is to be a success. The habits of nnch
variety OF plant, its special needs, the
nature of it's insect enemies and the
means of circnmventing theTa, al con
be learned by experience, but it is bet
ter not to wait for this, since discour-
agement may intervene. 1t is wise to
take the instruction that experts can
give and it was happy thought on the
part of the Gardeners association to
plan for this. Lectures on the sub
iect should be we'll attended and pro-
ductive of good results.-Ipdianapolis

GOOD CITIZENS, AND OTHERS
Vital Difference Between Them,
Though 1t May N0t Always
Seem to Be Recognized.

Two men went to a man who keeps
small retail store on residence
street the other day and said:
eve will paint your whole building
every year if you will let us put sign
on the blank WALL" And he said:
Il can't do it." So they got up to
painting his store and paying 500. And
then he told them:
''This is residence street. The
people are willing to have me here be-
cause I render service. That wall Of
mine doesn't make the street look any
worse than is necessary"
They told him other men did it that
no one noticed it; that it didn't bring
him dollars more business, but he
refused all the arguments they could
think of. His answer was that he owed
something to the people of his neigh
borhood.
There is a citizen who is an asset
to his community. And it is true there
is no recognition in it and probably
not a dollar in trade.
There are others like this man. The
man who is holding vacant lots for
renting space for disfiguring sign
boards is criticized, but his pocket
doesn't suffer-at least he is convinced
that il doesn't.
The man who refuses to do this, who
keeps the grass cut and allows no ac-
cumulatiOns Of rubbish is an asset.
But there is no sign to remind. his
neighbors that he is decent citizen.
So with the man who doesn't let his
chimney smoke, who keeps his place
in repair, who doesn't have the pub
lie sidewalk forever blocked.
And they aren't paid? Well, that de.
ponds on how you look at it. Some
men are pretty we'll paid by the con-
seriousness that they enjoy the society
of a decent citizen and good neighbor
when they are ~alOne.-Milwaukee

CHAPTER Iil-Continued.

Mr.. Sidney never liked to have his
vicarious drinking interrupted, but he
always was good natured.
"Well, DOCTOR" he said, "what now
Is Jed drinking too much for my
health?"
At that moment no possible amount
Of liquor would have been too much
for Jed. The wretch must have thought
was ghost.
"Jed may drink himself to death,
for all me-" l said. THAT probably is
the best end he can come to. / think
he IS gallows meat, but I want to talk
to him when you can spare him."
I'VE can't spare Jed to have him
hanged" said Mr.. Sidney. He's too
useful. Who else could drink my wine
of an evening? Go along with the
doctor, Jed and see what he wants
It's probably a matter of pills or pow

Jed was recovering from his shock,
but he still showed the effects of it.

lal, and it had baronial habits, but it
Drought no friends to the doors.
1t was nearly always with regard to
Isobel that the condition seemed I'M
natural. For an invalid like Mr.. Sid
ney it was natural enough. Mrs. Sid
ney was wholly devoted to him was
engaged in professional duties: and
for Jed and the servants in the house
1t was natural to be content with what
they had of life or with the perform
ance of duties for which they were
paid and which they might abandon
at will. But this was Isobel's life.
She was young, vibrant, beautiful, but
Vistas opening into human prospects
were closed to her. And she was en-
gagged to a piece of professional dead
wood who happened to be the only
masculine thing available when her
mother was in great distress.
Later Isobel said that as a woman
she knew of course that / loved her,
but this is evident fiction. She did
no such thing, and it would be an un-
Kindness to her to think So. What
was only comedy if I were, as she
thought I was, an Indifferent, unfeel
Ing man, would have been cruelty If
it had been known that the position
was mockery of denied hopes.
Isobel used me to gain her liberty.
She affected familiarities and called
noe "JOhn" derisively, or worse dear"
or "old dear" I protested, in more
pain than she could guess.
"We are engaged" she said. "What
should I call your"
You might consider the fact that
we are not engaged" I suggested.
"But we are. If we don't act as if
we were. you'll not be any protection
against Jed. Don't you want me to
call you J0hn?"
"Of course / do" I said. Its per-
fectly straightforward, natural and
proper"
"Then it's the dear and old dear
you object to, and I perfectly delight
in calling you old dear 1t fits so

WhiteMash for Trees.

Whitewashing the trunks Of fruit or
shade trees has a two-fOld purpose.
First it adds much to the attractive
ness of the lawn or orchard, second the
whitewash causes the old loose and
rough bark to be replaced by smooth
healthy bark. Grubs and insects are
killed and the life of the tree greatly
prolonged.
Here is a good recipe for making
the whitewash:
Mix in one-half pound of sulphur to
four gallons of water, add enough lime
to make the whitewash, put in hand
full of salt. Paint the trees. If they
are very rough, they should have the
second coat.-The Thrift Magazine.

1t was a great trip that w. R. Hop
kins and family and B. f. Conlee and
family took to Sage Lake, in North
ern Michigan, and from which they
returned last Saturday. They had
splendid luck fishing, but haven't de-
cided just how splendid, not having
their stories elaborated for presen-
tation to the public, as yet. When
they do the writer's of sacred and
profane fish stories will have a SER
ious competitor for fame. Bill Con-
lee and family visited the party for
a day and night, and Bill, being
delicate and nervous individual, was
so fiustered by the baying of a pack
of fish hounds and noeturne by a
pair of mournful cows that he was
unable to sleep and next morning
was found shedding real tears. It
is claimed that he has not yet recov-
cred from the nerve racking ordeal.
