THE ALARM CLOCK
WWAARY 0RAHAM BOlNNER

At any rate, it isn't my fault" said the Alarm Clock to the watch which was lying on the bureau.
 What isn't your fault? l didn't know any one had blamed you for any thing" said the Watch.
 Well, I haven't exactly been blamed for anything, but still am grumbling about. You see, 1t is this way:
 There is little English boy named Eugene, and every night he sets me at seven o'clock. That means, Watch that I am set so will ring at seven o'clock in the morning and wake him up.
 Never have I failed to do so. Never, Never. I ring at the hour am set to ring at. That is the way the Alarm Clock does.
 'The Alarm Clock does it's duty as 1! is told. But to continue about this little boy named Eugene. He says evening after evening-in fact I've never known him to miss an evening
 "'Now, must get up early tomor- row morning. I have so much to dO.'
 "'rhat is as far as it goes," said the Alarm Clock
 AS far as what goes?" asked the Clock.
 You don't mean that you don't go beyond that time, do you?" it asked
 No, mo-" said the Alarm Clock. "I mean it is as far as it goes as Eugene is concerned. He sets me every night to go off at seven o'clock, as I've said.
 Every night he says that he must get up early the next morning. He calls seven o'clock early. by the way
 And yet he never gets up at seven o'clock. That is the joke.
 "One would think that at times he wouldn't bother to set me so early when he wasn't going to get up at that hour. But he has never yet failed to set me at seven o'clock. and vel he has. never once arisen at that hOur
 "Ah, but wait a moment" cOntin- ued the Alarm Clock.
 q can't wait another moment" said the Watch. For I have a reputation

 It is a good practice to reserve a small corner of the garden for a seed bed. Here, through special prep aration of the soil it is possible to pro- duce better plants than could other wise be secured. The gardener can transplant from the seed bed to the garden. thus making the plants more stocky. The location of an outdoor seed bed should be such that it may be conveniently reached for watering, and 1t should be naturally protected from drying winds.
 Good soil for seed bed consists of one part of well-rotted manure. two parts of good garden loam or routed sods, and one part of sharp, fine sand. The manure should be thoroughly routed. but 1t should not have been exposed to the weather and the strength leached out of 1t. The addi- tion of leaf mold or peat will tend to make the soil better adapted for seed- bed purposes. Mix all the ingredients

A young man who practiced medicine in Pennsylvania became famous and was called in consultation in many towns and cities because of his sue cess in the treatment of disease. This was Dr. Pierce, who finally made up his mind to place some of his medi- cines before the public, and moving to Buffalo, N. r., put up what he called his "Favorite Prescription" and placed 1t with the druggists in every state.
 Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription has long been recognized as tonic for dis eases peculiar to womankind. After sui fering pain, feeling nervous, dizzy, weak and dragged-down by weaknesses of her sex-a woman is quickly restored to health by it's use. Thousands of women testify that Dr. Pierce's Favor Ite Prescription has entirely eradicated their distressing ailments.
 More recently that wonderful discov- cry of Dr. Pierce's, called An-uric (for kidneys and backache), has been sue cessfully used by many thousands who write Dr. Pierce of the benefits re- ceived-that their backache, rheuma- tism, and other symptoms of uric acid deposits in joints or muscles have been completely conquered by its use.

 "Of course not, of course not" said the alarm Clock. q didn't really mean for you to wait moment. meant that I had not quite told my story correctly and that I didn't want you to finish listening until had finished telling
 All right" said the Watch. "I am still listening"
 q said" the Alarm Clock went on, that he had always set me at seven o'clock. and that he had never arisen at seven o'clock
 ''The first part is quite true. But the second part isn't quite true"
 Has he ever gotten up at seven?' the watch asked.
 "Yes," said the Alarm Clock. He does it every morning"
 But, alarm clock" said the Watch, you surprise me. First you say one thing in a very decided manner, and then you say anOthere in just as de cided manner Truly, Alarm Clock, I do not understand you. I fear you will upset my poor works if you talk like that and excite me sO."
 "I will explain" said the Alarm Clock.
 Every night he sets me to go off at seven o'clock"
 ''So you told me-" said the Watch.
 And every morning he gets up at seven and turns me off! He never really gets up. at seven. He only changes his mind every morning at seven s
 ''He has planned the night before to get up early, but when morning comes he regularly changes his mind and decides he can hurry through his breakfast and dressing and can allow himself another half hours sleep.

 "Thank you, Watch. That thought is very comforting"

British Army "Swagger."

It has been said that the English army authorities once issued an or der that officers should not wear eye glasses or spectacles, these being con- sidered evidence of defective sight. A number of army officers then took to wearing the monocle, disobeying the army order by safe margin and giv- ing to themselves, as 1t was thought at the time, an air of distinction, the thought being something like that which prompted so many officers and enlisted men to carry short cane which came to be called "swagger stick"

Lima beans, melons, cucumbers and other garden crops may be started in berry baskets, on sod or in paper bands indoors, and the whole transferred to the garden when the weather permits, thus gain ing considerable time. Thirty to fifty hills of extra-early potatoes may even be had by starting IS many seed pieces in box in the living room or in hot bed and subsequently handling the plants the same as tomato plants.
 Depth of Planting and Distance Apart.
 No general rule can be given with regard 10 depth of planting, as differ ent kinds of vegetables and different soils necessitate different practices. The smaller the seeds the shallower the covering should be. In heavy soils the covering should be lighter than in light soils.

PUTTING sow IN GOOD SHAPE
Animal Usually Needs to Gain About one-HaIf to Three-Fourths Pound
