his family from Greece. In the last
three or four months. however. his
visits to Police Court have been so
mum erous that all Of his savings have
been paid out in fines.

has been hailed into court precisely
thirty times. and fined each time
either IS, $40 or SIS. His fines alone
have aggregated during this time
$3.50. OF course. George did not have
this much and was forced to borrow
from one OF his brother pushcart men
who has been more lucky in avoid
ing the police.
But here's the best case Of all-Jim.
an unusually dark k-complexioned son
Of Italy. who stays near 7th and Mar

has been fined 5000. and according to
his story, unless the police stop run

to go without food.

1t is a fact worth remembering
that many of the best varieties, among
even the common vegetables, cannot
be bought in the market, for the rea-
son that they will not stand shipping.
These varieties can be grown in the
home garden, as well as the less de-
sirable sorts, and supply the subur-
banites' table with luxuries that the
city man must go without. The mar
with a garden can have them fresh
and consequently at their best.
There is a decided scarcity of good
seed of several kinds this season, SO
the farmer and the man with the
small garden plot should place his or
der only with firms which he has rea-
son to believe are thoroughly reliable.
