spirit which Is ever lurking in the minds and hearts of the vicious and prepares them more and more for the outbreak. No citizen can commit a worse crime against society than to contribute to the strength of the wicked or weaken the force of law. It Is like destroying the levee of the Mississippi river. When the levee Is destroyed, sooner or later the tide will rise and the turbulent and un- comfortable waters will break out of their bounds to the destruction of home and farm and every living thing. The hope of our country is in the creation of just laws and their proper execution by efficient and moral officers and the loyal coop eration of every moral and patriotic citizen. When our country shall be turned over to mobs, its doom is written"

SOME OF THE POOR USES
MADE OF GARDEN TOOLS

If an amateur wants a real lesson
in cultivation let this amateur go
into the nearest cold lady's garden
and there get practical demonstra-
ton, small stick, a hairpin or a
pairing knife makes, any one of the
three, tool Of such excellence that
the expectant but well-read garden
amateur gasps in amazement.
By all means buy garden tools; you
will need them, cannot get along with
out them, but don't try to use six
inch hoe blade to cut the weeds and
grass from around seedlings; it can't
be done.
For the reason that l smoke
carry matches; and my very best tool
in the seed bed is a match stick.
Don't get the idea that garden tools
have no place in the seed bed; they
do big place; the spade to turn over
the soil, a fork to break it up when
it is turned over the second time and
rake to fine it, level and cover
the seed, if sown broadcast. Intelli-
gently used, the hoe is the greatest
of all farm and garden tools-corn,
tobacco, cotton, potatoes, ETC., could
scarcely be raised into profitable crops
without a hoe.
If it is rendered that a hoe is
only to take off the crowns of weeds
and grasses and not the roots; then
the hoe is intelligently used. When
the bloom stalk is destroyed just at
the surface of the ground the weed
cannot seed; it's life ends, in the ordi-
nary weed we find in gardens and on
farms Except the roots stooling
grasses, etc. Any cultivation so
deeply applied as to remove roots
cuts off the multitudinous feeding
roots of vegetables and flowers.
A rake cna be employed to break
up baked or caked soil and thus con-

serve moisture. The "dust mulch" is
made with rake because the rake
does not, properly used, reach the
feed rootlets.
Breaking up hard, dry, crusty soil
is better accomplished after shower
Deep tillage is best guarantee that
plant life will go downward with its
roots for food and water-top tillage
means high root growth and, there
fore, suffering in times of very dry
weather.
Use the longest spade you can buy,
as your full weight will push it; pull
verize with a fork and rake; remove
with hoe weeds and grass at the
surface of the ground, but use a
match stick, hairpin, metal or wooden
meat skewer for cultivating the seed
lings, and if your seed bed is friable,
your bare fingers will do wonders
about half-grown plants.

Dorothy Dalton plays the featured

BRET HARTE WON
FAME BY CHANCE
Fished "Heathen Chinee' Out
of Waste Basket to Fill
Hole In Periodical

In his autobiography, now being
published in Harper's Magazine, Mark
Twain wrote as follows in the year
1906 of his fellow author, Brete Harte
Harte told ne once, when he was
spending a business fortnight in my
house in Hartford, that his fame was
an accident-an accident that he much
regretted for while. He said he had
written "The Heather Chinee" for
amusement; then had thrown it into
the waste basket; that presently there
was call for copy to finish out the
Overland Monthly and let it go to
press. He had nothing else, so he
fished the "Chinee" ont of the bas-
ket and sent that. AS we all remem-
ber, it created an explosion of delight
whose reverberations reached the last
confines of Christendom; and Harte's
name, from being obscure to invisi-
bility in the one week, was as notorious
and as visible, in the next, as if it had
been painted on the sky in letters Of
astronomical magnitude. He regard
ed this fame as a disaster, because
he was already at work on such things
as "The Luck of Roaring Camp" and
"Tennessee's Partner"
In the San Franciscan days Bret
Harte was by no means ashamed when
he was praised as being a successful
imitator of Dickens in America, re-
mark which indicates a fact-to wit,
that there were great many people
in America, at that time, who were
ambitiously and undisguisedly imitat-
ing Dickens. His long novel, Gabriel
Conroy," is as much like Dickens as if
Dickens had written it himself.
1t is pity that we cannot escape
from life when we are young. When
Bret Harte started East in his new
born glory, thirty-siX years ago, with
the eyes of the world upon him, he had
lived all of his life that was worth
living. He was entering upon car
eer of poverty, debt, bitterness and
worldwide fame which must have
been odious to him. There was a hap
py Bret Harte, contented Bret
Harte, an ambitious Bret Harte, a
hopeful Bret Harte, a bright, cheer
full, easy-laughing Bret Harte, a
Bret Harte to whom it was a bubbling
and effervescent joy to be alive.
That Bret Harte died in San Fran
cisco. 1t was the corpse of that Bret
Harte that swept in splendor across
the continent; that refused to go to the
Chicago banquet given in its honor be-
cause there had been breach of eti-
quette-a carriage had not been sent
for it; that resumed it's eastward jour
ney, leaving behind the grand scheme
of the Lakeside Monthly in sorrowful
collapse; that undertook to give all
the product of its brain for one year to |
an Eastern magazine for ten thousand |
dollars--a stupendous sum in those
days-but collected and spent the
money before the year was out, and
then began a dismal and harassing
death-in-life which was to cease only
at the grave. !
