scissors and gently separated her from her parent bush. l pinned her to my coat lapel with her lovely head hanging down, just as young lady awhile back had pinned a red one on for me. 1 took the path for my hill garden, the air was fresh and cool, and Rose enjoyed the walk with me.
 My hill garden is on top of my south hill, where the breezes from the south keep the air cool. From there 1 started on a southeast course through the cut-over land, which 1 thought would be nearer, but in go- ing through the swamp on Rush branch l rambled around too much and 1t proved to be further. It was hot in amongst the thick underbrush and when l reached the ranch fence ''The Last Rose of Spring" had commenced to droop. l could not stand so much a reminder of civiliza- tion, even as a pasture fence, to my east while off to my right was a TO- mantle hill inviting me to explore it, so l turned ot my right. Near the top of these hills, where the rock lodges commence, is the best place for berries. Yesterday I was at a big rock, higher than my head, and I found a lot of dewberries there. One vine must have had a pint of red berries on it, but never a ripe one, so far I have only found two nearly ripe, which l ate. The birds watch them much closer than I, and gather every berry just before it gets ripe. We'll, 1 love the birds, too, and if there are enough of them, which there appear to be, to eat all the berries, so much the better. 1 have not seen so many elsewhere in Arkansas, but when l was bey there were more birds in Texas.
 There are a lot of big post oak trees here which have not been cut, and beyond them was a great embat- clement of rock, as though they were arranged for the first defense works of the ridge, and on top of them was a fine dewberry patch, but of course though lots of red ones, there were no ripe ones. Though there was one berry that had about every other seed ripe, which ate just to get ahead of the birds for one time. There were muscadine vines in bloom also, and the prospect is for a tremendous crop of them.
 I came upon top of the ridge to get view of the country on the oth- CT side, especially the Oliver home stead. 1 saw two abandoned home steads, but 1 do not think either was the Oliver, though l could see the Oliver timber as we'll as my own.
 Over to my left, but a little further on Is Rattle Snake mountain, with its great cliffs and caves, the home of rattle snakes, wildcats, bobcats, etc.
 l forgot to mention III my other write-ups that Guy Blunt about the time I was moving took three shots at a panther, which he is pretty cer- tain he killed, but 1t got away from him, or did Guy get away from it?
 Continuing on my way, came to a nice little branch at the foot of Rattle Snake, but to the southeast. On the far bank was a great rock bluff where as it was near noon and l might not find more nice water, I decided to eat my lunch. Before getting to the rock I had to go through one of the largest musca- dine patches 1 have ever seen. There were millions of blooms and I imagine that there will be a great crop of the grapes.

HlOuudys dd1 Zo3 l1A1'
 We'll, last week explored the country between me and Cold Spring on the Mt. Ida road. l was in hopes that would find route for better road than I now have, but it will take a roundabout way to get there in vehicle.
 I had two pair of shoes needing half soles, and few shirts, under wear and lot of other things to buy, then l broke the left ear off my spec tacIes and had to go, but what was the use? I no sooner got home than l broke them in two at the bridge. And the last state of that man was worse than the first.
 The Last Rose of Spring.
 When I moved over about a month ago my gloom was dispelled when l found all four of my rose bushes in full bloom. Each rose did its best to please me and all the time l could hear them whispering about the Pea Pod man. Said one lovely, modest little bud, s'I know the Pea Pod man loves me best" 1 went to her and caressed her and gently l whiffed in her sweet fragrance with my nos trils touching her lovely cheeks. "Ah,' said she, q told you he loves me best.' ''No, he does not" said a lovely full grown rose, ''he loves us all alike and you foolish little bud you will see that l am right before you are as old as l." Then 1 went over and lifted the lovely full grown rose to my nose and commended her wisdom.
 The roses are lovely pink color, but when they get old and wilt they turn to a red color. All the time I was there they talked and whispered about how happy they were to be al- lowed to bloom and grow in the Pea Pod mans yard and they said they knew l would write a lovely story about them. They had all bloomed and lived their sweet lives out, but one, when I was forced to go to the city. The other roses all gently chid- ed her about being so slow, but she said nothing in return, even when one got angry and said that she was the laziest rose in the Pea Ridge Pinery, she did not get angry nor an swer back. You see she had a great idea in her little head and she held her tongue and kept her peace be- cause she did not want to give her great idea away, she wanted it all for herself. Her idea was that if she would wait until the last she would be the ''Last Rose of Spring and the Pea Pod man would love her bet ter than all. So she asked Wanda's help and Wanda, who wanted to keep me here until all the roses bloomed, so arranged things that l had to stay until all had bloomed except ''The Last Rose of Spring" and when l started 1 was so much in love with s''The Lost Rose of Spring" who had bloomed all alone so long that just had to take her along with me. She was very lovely, but looking a little paler than common, for the end of her life was drawing to close and she began to wilt just a little, so it caused her no pain when l took my

lovely as ever, but 1 was too thought less. A little further on as was going down the dry bed of little branch I struck bush with my right hand. At once I could feel the mounting of my ring pricking my hand. l looked and l had lost the garnet set out of my ring. l went back to the bush, but there were too many gravel there for me to stand any chance of recovering the lost garnet. Taking look from the top of the ridge, which l soon reached, I saw straight ahead of me a gap in the mountains and rather than bear back to my left made for it. Soon I arrived to where l could see through the gap, and in the distance I could see one of the Saline county pinnacles. I knew if 1 continued in that direction that the chances were favorable for me to spend the night in the woods. So l changed my course again and when 1 reached the top of the ridge I viewed out the country. Away off to the south were a few farms. 1 knew that they were near Paron, and that 1 had at least one good friend amongst them, who would be more than pleased to have me spend the night with him. l thought best, as it would take me a while day to walk back from there to the nearest point in Pulaski county I wanted to make, about faced and made directly toward the east. soon came to the ranch fence again and found that if had continued to the southeast I would have reached the Mt. Ida road at the point l was headed for.
 At the Mt. Ida road, just north of Cold Spring, and about four miles south of my homestead, l came upon another homestead, that of A. 5. Brown, who is my nearest neighbor to the south. Adjoining and to the north of him is the homestead of Rufe Harrel, of Cato. No one is liv- ing on it and 1 missed his improve ments. MT. Brown is very pro- gressive kind of man, and appears to be prosperous. He subscribed for the Country Gentleman and promised to take the Pulaskian another time. He had been buying the Country Gentleman at the Little Rock news stands, where 1t cost him Sc a copy, or $2.60 a year. He was tickled to get it for a dollar of me. He could hardly farm without it. Besides. on May 28, Zane Grey's last story, sTo the Last Man" will commence in 1t and run all through the summer. His stories are always amongst the best sellers and sell in book form for $50 to $3 copy. This story will appear in book form next year. All of his stories appear first in the Country Gentleman.
 I crossed back into Pulaski county at J. P. Rooms, where I spent the night. MT. Koon is one of my old standbys, where I am always well come. He is an old time farmer. He has fine oats and the best field of wheat l have seen in two or three years. Owing to the cold backward spring the heads are short, but he has about the best stand 1 have ever seen on field sown broadcast by hand.

The very first thing we nil would

Gus rooms and the flowers don't
hold out In ones own yard.
One of the .prettiest homes l have
visited for a long time was made
SO because Of a tall vase Or low
bowl with some sort OF flower In
each room. How the woman who
lived In the house found time to
rioke each room SO attractive was
annaryel to me but she did, Even
the sewing room at the rear OF the
house held its single rose in a
small receptacle. It was a Joy In

those who saw the annex In its for

THREE NUMBER
GDNGERfC0DRSE
Splendid Program Worked
Out BY Wornen's Club
Music Department

A three-number concert course in.
stead Of two as was previously an.
bounced will be presented the com.
ing season by the music department
Of the Woman's club. AS announced
the first number will be the engages
ment october OF Sophie Braslau,
celebrated contralto, and the second
viii be the concert engagement OF
the Zoellner stringed quartet IN
January. The last number and by no
means the least in Importance, ID
the egagement Of March 0 OF Hulda
Lashanska, American lyric soprano,
Sophi Braslau occupies too high a
place among eontraito singers to-
day to need any introduction what
ever. yet 1t Is well to remember that
she has won her fame in a very
few years an dis yet young. She ID
therefore in her prime and Is not
sailing in the least on past efforts
but is giving her very best to her
audiences today.
With Hulda Lashanska, however
her reputation is still in the making
and she Is being closely observed
by musical America. Moreover she
is constantly fulfilling every expec.
tuition which her first appearance
last year aroused. Added to her
wonderful voice, which has been
said 10 be an "oasis in a desert Of
voices" Miss Lashanska has great
personal beauty and charm. 1t Il
also OF interest to note that she Il
a protege of the immortal Nine
Eembrich, with whom she trained
for two years before her formal ap.
pearance in New York.
Both Miss Braslau and Miss Lash.
anska are members Of the Metropo
itan Opera company and both ART
valued singers with the talking ma
chine companies, the former beInl
an exclusive Victor artist while Mis-
Lashanska sings for tho Columbia
only.
The engagement Of the Zoellnei
stringed quartet will undoubtedl.
meet with popular favor not onl!
from the fact that the, organization
has a national reputation but tn,
engagement is out OF the ordinary
A few years ago the quartet gavC
u concert in this city and the pro
gram presented at that time wa;
said TO eclipse any other programi
Of this nature ever produced in Thu
city. Since that time they havi
been constantly adding to. their vel
established reputation.
Willie the price for the season
ticket has not been entirely WORKED
out 1t is the aim Of the department
TO make the price as low as possible
and while the artists engaged fo
the course ask a high price for thei
services yet It is believed that III,
price to be announced will be, as
tonishingly low.
