Poc,Tos'
Fifty-Second Day.

MONTEVIDEO,. Uruguay, March 1S.
I am writing this in the Parque
Hotel, Pocitos. I am in. a new coun-
try and a new city 1t seems like a
dream. Yesterday I was in Buenos
Aires and I had been there SO many
days that any other city seems like "a
dream, particularly since 1 crossed the
Rio de La Plata during the night.
The Rio de La Plata is called the
River of Silver. Why, 1 cannot even
guess. There is nothing silvery about
it. 1t is the dirtiest and muddiest
stream of water l have ever seen with
the possible exception of the Hoogli
which ooZes down from Calcutta into
the Bay of Bengal. Why didn't they
call it the Rio de Ia Cobre-the River
of Copper?
But what a river! 1t has taken all
night to cross it. The La Plata is
wider than the Hudson River is long.
Fact. I got up early enough but we
we're already tied up at the dock
There was the city piled up in front
Of us on an ordinary sort of hill
called the "citadel-crowned hil1.'' Not
much of hill. to. be sure, but high
enough for some mariner who accom-
panied the explorer Soils, to eXclaim
as he approached it: Il see a noun
tain, l see mountain and so they
named it Montevideo.
Buenos Aires was named in the
same way. When old Mendoza first
landed there in 1885 some sailor was
heard to say to another: Hey, Mike.
amt never smelt so many good airs
before, hev your" Tor something like
that

so much to brighten up the days and
nights during the past week, were q

that everybody loves. So Old Mr..
Toad just had to sing with the others
He thought he was as happy as he
could be.
He moved about quite bit. Some
times he was in one part OF the Smll-
ing Pool and sometimes in another.
lust why he wasn't content TO remain
in one place he didn't know. But he
wasn't and so he kept moving about.
But wherever he was he sang.
Then one afternoon as he swelled
his music bag out until i seemed as
if il must burst he heard gentle
smash behind him. His music bag
collapsed and he turned quickly. y
pair of wonderful golden eyes looked
into his and Old Mr.. Toad's heart al
most skipped a beat for pure joy. They
were the eyes of Mrs. Toad.
"Where. my dear, have you BEEN
cried Old Mr. Toad. I've looked every
where for you"
I've just arrived, replied Mrs
Toad. II went in rather deep last FAN
and | didn't awake as early as YOU
did. | knew | had oversight by the
chorus coming from the Smiling Pool,
So 7 hurried here as fast as ! could.
Long before ! got here | heard you
singing. so ! came straight here. Your
voice is better than ever, my dear.
At this Old Mr.. Toad puHed out MS
music bag and began to sing again,
and now his song was SWeeter than
ever, for in it was perfect joy. Mrs.
Toad did not sing. She says that one
singer in the family is plenty and she
prefers TO be sung to. So she never
sings. But Old Mr. Toad sang enough
for two. In fact. il seemed to him that
he couldn't sing enough. He couldn't
or wouldn't stop long enough TO eat.
He didn't even watch out for danger.
1t was Mrs. Toad who saw Longlegs
The Heron just in time. 1t was she who
discovered Mr.. Blacksnake gliding to-
ward them as they sat with only their
fore feet in the water. Old Mr.. Toad
was too wrapped up in his singing.
But for her he would have ended his
singing for all time. SO perhaps it
was just as well that Mrs. Toad didn't
sing.
So there was JOY in and all about the
Smiling Pool. Even Jerry Muskrat

Ferns.
BY d. C. PEATTIE

AS one rambles the steep, rocky
woods above the Key Bridge OF crosses
the fields and skirts the marshes any
where in Maryland or Virginia one
may see these days the uncoilinS
fronds of our beautiful native ferns.
At all times ferns are lovely, but at
no time so much so as when they first
arise in dainty, light green, feathery
clumps. All winter their scaly, creep
ing rhizomes, which are really under
ground stems, rather thin roots, have
lain dormant, and now, with the GER
tainty of continued warm weather. the
delicate leaves make bold to expand.
The ferns have all in common beau
tiful bud form which has a curious
habit of opening SO that when the
leaves expand they appear 10 uncoil
from a crozier like the staff that
bishop carries. This singular form of
unfuriing is rather rare in the plant

as near as he could come to singing.
Jerry was happy, for he had family
and as yet no one but he and Mrs.
Jerry knew anything about it. Teeter
the Sandpiper, bobbing in his funny
way whenever he stopped on the edge
of the Smiling Pool. was happy. for he
and Mrs. Teeter had a secret all their
own. Can you guess what it was? Rat
ties the Kingfisher was happy and his
harsh rattle was heard more than
ever, for that was as near as he could
come to singing. He also had secret
in the bank just below the Smiling
Pool. So there was joy in the very
air 1t was no wonder that Old Mr..
Toad sang.

lection, especially if they are of

directed by some one who knows how
to do it to improve the quality of
the remaining fruit. If you are on
an all-day motor ride, it is foolish to
pick flowers at the beginning of your

Joy in Smiling Pool.
Prithee tell me what is Joy:
'Tis happiness without alloy.

For while after his arrival in the
Smiling Pool Old Mr.. Toad sang just
for the joy of singing. He had to sing.
Yes sir, he hand to sing. He just
couldn't help it. His cousins, the
Hylas and Tree Frogs, were singing.

ASKOV FARM HOME
BURNED TO GROUND

The Niels Serritslev family. north
east Of Askov. had the misfortune to
lose their home and all contents by
fire Tuesday morning.
As usual fire was started In the
kitchen stove the first thing In the
morning and then both Mr.. Serrit-
slew and son went to the barn to look
after the chores. IL was only n short
time later that they noticed the house
was on Are and had gained such head
way that II was possible to save only
few articles
Only a small amount OF insurance
was carried on the structure--about
$3O0--and a similar amount on the
furniture and fixtures. Plans for the
future are as yet not decided upon
and temporarily the family is living
In the J. p. yejs home.

ide against the dust nuisance this
summer. 1t will be at local expense.
Any treatments of state trunk high
ways with the chemical will be solely
for preservation OF the road surface.
An announcement to the latter ef-
feet is made in a highway bulletin
this week following applications from
scores Of cities and villages on the
trunk highways asking that calcium
be used on routes through towns as a
dust preventative. Some were from
towns where water filtration made ex-
cessive the cost OF sprinkling even
under the property assessment plan.
Under a ruling that highway funds
can be expended only for highway
purposes. while dust prevention is
largely health measure. the state
department was forced to adopt the
policy that calcium be used only
where II is necessary to reduce the
maintenance expense Of the road. The
result may be the treatment OF some
city and village streets over which
are routed trunk highways requiring
calcium as a surface protector-not as
a dust preventative.

THIEVES APPREHENDED

Hogan's Mirror (Kerrick) OF last
week reports OF some stealing going
on up that wax and hands out a little
good advice as follows:
Young Arna Saunders of Moose
Lake plead guilty in justice court
before Karl r. Won Schenk of
Bruno, on the 10th, for theft of
two tires and a robe from the car
of w. p. Hogan on the night of
March 30th. He was sentenced
to serve 80 days in the county
Jail and was taken to Saltwater
to serve his sentence. Mr.. Cheta
who was with the boys on the
evening in question showed to
the satisfaction of the court that
he was not in any way implicated
in the theft and the case against
him was dismissed. Saunders is
twenty years of age.
Arnie Anderson and a Mr.. Mad
sen. the two young fellows from
Moose Lake, who held up Mr..
0stercamp in the Ray Steele car
on the night of the 9th and took
tires and tools from the car, were
arrested on the following day and
had a hearing before Justice Won
Schenk of Bruno, they being found
guilty of petty larceny and SEN
fenced to serve 80 days in the
county Jail. They were taken to
Saltwater by Sheriff Hawley on
the following day. The tools
were found in the car and the
tire was hidden midway between
Kerrick and Bruno. The tires
which were stolen off the Hogan
car were also found on the An
derson car, as well as a blanket.
1t is not thought that Madsen
was implicted in the latter affair,
but couple of other young fell
lows from the same town were
and warrants have been issued
for them. 1t is hoped that this
may be a lesson to the fellows
who waste their time loafing, in
stead of working as it was in
tended man should, and that
when they finish their terms
