WINTER
Witch Hazel.
BY ID. c. PEATTIE

Along the brooks, among alders and
swamp naples. the little witch hazel
tree stands bare and leafess, and
plainly one can see the sly wrens hop
ping about among its branches. ana
the pewees that still call drearlly.
But the little bush is in it's glory now,
last Of all wild things to bloom. Its
flowers come so late, in fact. mat
many people-those, at least. who
have given up their rambles at the
first touch of Winter-never see them
The witch hazel flowers remind one
strangely of Spring. They have a
haunting reminiscence of early March
days. And presently YOU perceive
whence this comes. For they look.
on the bare wood much like for
sythia. the colder bell first of the
shrubs to burst in hloor1 in the new
year. The same long. yellow petals
compose the starry flower: IL is the
same towering in the wilderness Of
leafiess branches.
But about the witch hazel hangs
shostly something. 1t has the lone
some look we would expect of the last
man on the earth. Forsythia is the
reveille of the year: witch hazel is its
dirge.
Stra NICELY. too. its fruits ripen the
next year. when every other flower
is in fun gloom. Within those furry
cups one may discover the sleek.
black. shining seeds. But the Jap
aneSe species of witch hazel is more
conventional, and flowers in early
Spring and sets its fruit. as good
plants should. in Fall. The reason
for the difference is that the Japa nese
flower buds are formed on last years

To bloom by Spring. while our buds are
only formed on the new Spring wood.

This is Il family name which falls

Clues to Character
Hidden Talent.
BY J. o. ABERNETHY.

There are thousands of talented
people who never rise in the world
because they are too modest too
shrinking. too afraid they will appear
eGotistical forward. They are
timid. bashful. and dislike praise. es-
pecially in public. They shrink from
crowds: in other words, they keep
their talent hidden under bushel.
This, type of person generally has
fine, smooth. glossy hair: thin. clear
skin and a sensitive nervous system.
Predominance OF the brain and nerv-
Gus system give a high cast OF
thought. This timid person manifests
a love for personal cleanliness. both
in body and mind. careful Of dress.
sensitive and dislikes the attention Of
the opposite sex.
You can tell this type by the we'll
defined groove in the upper lip from
the nose to the red membrane region
The deeper this valley Is, the more
bashful he or she will he. This Is the
man or woman who shrinks from
publicity or gaudy display. and is i'll
at ease when his or her virtues are
extolled.

have him released on bond. insisting that

established perfect abb. a stenoeraphic
report of which was submitted TO Judge
Peter Judge Peter. however. held that
the girl had been attacked by some one
and inasmuch as she had positively ideu-
titled Parkhurst as her assailant. il would
be bad precedent TO establish to release
the young man.
Miss Price at first had charged that she
had been assaulted by negro, but finally
declared that Parkhurst was the man.

viii Back A Law Against lmporta-
tion OF Uuadapted Seeds.


The American Farm Bureau Federation
promises the farmers of America to get
back of law which will check the impor-
tation Of bad and unadapted seeds which.
it is claimed. have cost American farmers
millions of dollars during the last few years
The matter is being thrashed out in the
Office Of E. B. Reid. legislative representa-
tive Of the A. F. B. F. in Washington.
A bill will be prepared and introduced
at the next session Of Congress which will
make II necessary for all foreign seeds
being shipped into this country to be
plainly marked or dyed in order that they
may be quickly detected upon arrival on
the American markets. Mr. Reid. in a re-
cent interview of this subject. said the
law, If passed. would have special refer
ence to Red Clover and Alfalfa seed. Much
OF this type Of seed. he explained, is
alright and perfectly good seed for use in
its native country. where climatic condi-
tons are very different from what they
are IN America, but they become prac-
tically useless when they are brought into
this country and planted in some of the
extremely rigorous regions of the West
and Middle West. They become a total
loss and the farmer planting them not only
sacrifices the money he invested. but he
loses the crop he had reason to expect.
The bill. as proposed by the representa-
/ tive Of the A. F. B. F.. will carry clause
providing for the publicity that will be
needed to spread and disseminate infor-
nation cautioning the farmers of the coun-
| try against the purchase OF this type of
foreign grown seed. the use of which. ac-
cotding to Mr. Reid. has already resulted
in a great deal of our farmers time. money
and energy.
