SEEMS TO Be TOO ExAcTING
Character in Novel Would Appear to
Demand Whole Lot From His
Fellow Men.

Thus In Forrest Reld's "Pender
Among the Residents" the hero slides
from adventure into criticism:
"My idea of poetry, you see, is Of
n mysterious thing-a kind of mixture
OF enchantment and music-something
immensely primitive-a survival-old
old as Egyptian magic.
"That kind Of poetry obviously can't
be taught. and everything Trefusis does
has been taught to him. don't mean
to say technique isn't of great I'M.
portance, and. of course, 1t Is quite
proper that Trefusis should learn
something about rhyme and meter ;
but rhyme and meter, however, daz-
zlingly handled, in themselves are no
more than the walls Of the house.
II mean, unless 1t is haunted house
there is for me no poetry"
When the ghost walks for Pender,
we suppose it has to be not with
measured, but with metered, tread

HOW PHONE SYSTEM BEGAN
There Were only Eight Subscribers
and the Switchboard Was by
Way Of Joke.

One switchboard, with n capacity Of
eight subscribers stations-that was
the beginning of telephone service, the
first step toward the commercial de-
velopment of the late Alexander Gra-
ham Bells now famous Invention. A
crude switchboard had been used in
Boston in 1877, but only for expert
mental and demonstration purposes.
Its chief function was to convince the
people of Boston and casual visitors
of the utility OF The telephone and Of
It's future possibilities, says Telephone
Press Service.
The ancestor Of the modern CONNER
cial telephone switchboard was in.
stalled in New Haven, Conn.,, In 1878.
From its eight lines has been evolved
the network of wires and cables which
covers the country from coast to coast.
From a single switchboard the num-
ber Of central offices within city has
increased to over 100. From less than
dozen subscribers stations, the total
within the limits of single city has
mounted in several cases to over 1OO,-
600 and in one case to over 1,OOO, 600.
Under one roof as many as 10000 lines
are switched and central Offices are
now planned with capacity of more
than double that number.

BUSINESS MEN LIKE OTHERS
Somewhat Prevalent Error 10 in Con
siderino Them to Be Something
Of Race Apart.

Orators and literary folk of Ger.
tain widespread school seem to imay-
Inc that business men are all alike;
that Is, dishonest and prosperous
from robbing the poor. The truth Is
many business men are themselves
poor. Many of them fall because OF
unreliability, idleness. extravaganza,
lack of intelligence.
Business men are like any other
class of men; some of them cnpnbla,.
reliable, Industrious and successful.
and some Of them the reverse.
Thousands of proletarians are in busl-
ness, us thousands of our best men
are working for wages and In training
to occupy the big positions and en-
Joy the big incomes. In any group of
business men, most of them do not
amount to much, us Is the case In any
other group. The rich were robbed
In RUSSIA because they were aristo-
Gratis by birth. 1t cannot be done in
the United States because here the
well-to-do come up from the ranks,
and are the best fighters as well MS
the best money makers.-From f. w.
Howe's Monthly.

COLOR MASSES OF
SPECIAL FLOWERS
Care Should Be Used in Making
Selection for Background
and Borders.

Special flowers may be chosen to
provide mass of a particular color
in the flower bed. The United States
Department of Agriculture has pre-
pared a convenient list, which also In
dicates the height to which the yari-
GUS flowers may be expected to grow,
SO that from 1t one may select plants
for the background of the bed, or
others for low border, and at the
same time make sure Of mixing only
those which harmonize.
Among white flowers, or those with
pure white varieties, one may choose
from the four-foot list, cosmos, dahlia
and sweet-sultan, growing three
feet; clarkia, cornflower, larkspur
and scabiosa, reaching two and one
half feet: baby's breath. china aster.

THE RADISH, FIRST
GARDEN VEGETABLE
Pungent Appetizers Are Easily
Grown-Main Difference in
Type Of Root.

The radish Is practically universal
vegetable. 1t Is now In the market
the year around and rarely is there a
garden planted without at least short
'ow or small patch broadcast to
these pungent appetizers of the gar
den. There isn't great difference
In the various kinds of radish offered
for sale by the scotsman and almost
my of them will be successful. The
main difference is In the type of root.
Stick pencil blindly on almost any
of them and order the one spiked and
you will have good radishes II the gar
den conditions are suitable for grow
ing good radishes at all.
In the South the radish can be
cept in the colder sections, paintings
being, made every ten days or two
weeks for succession. In the North
1t is the first vegetable to go into the
ground in the spring, in fact. 1t should
be planted as soon as the soil can be
worked, as 1t is quite hardy and won't
BE- hurt by a little frost.
1t Is a cool weather plant and must
be grown steadily and quickly. Hot
weather or a dry spell, either giving
q check in growth, result in hollow,
pithy roots, which are quite worthless.
Cool and fairly moist conditions make
the crisp, solid, toothsome radlshes
that everyone relishes in the early
days Of spring.

attained great popularity and is n
