 Of course all the other minnows darted away in great fright, while poor Longlegs could only stare across at that breakfast he had thought he was so sure of, and which was now going down the throat of Rattles the Kingfisher.

Mr. Lewis l. Tilley has given the
Woman's club the use of the half-acre
triangular plot of ground just east of
the artesian we'll AS is usually the
case with vacant lots it has been
growing up in weeds and grass and
has been a catch-all for rubbish. Since
it is a spot that is noticed by every
body passing through town the Wo-
mans club will plant it in flowers and
try to make it attractive. They have
met with the hearty cooperation OF
all the men-our men are chivalrous
and join in all good work. The mer-
chants handling seed have donated
flower seed and everybody with a
spare plant has offered it for this flow
er garden. The plot has already been
cleared up, plowed and fertilized and
committees have been appointed to
plan and see to the planting OF the
garden. 1t is hoped that in a short
time we will have a riot of flowers in
stead of a riot OF weeds on this plot.
