to take advantage Of this assistance.
Paper mulch in the garden will bring
in the need of certain specialized tools
and put others into discard.
Generally speaking, it is the mark of
an experienced gardener to have as few
tools as are absolutely necessary to do
the work at hand. No set of tools can
replace the skill which is acquired with
experience. In other words, an expert
enced gardener may accomplish more
with a rake and hoe than a novice
would with a large collection of the
very latest devices. There is really no
object in wasting lot of money on in
tricate gardening helps which must in
advertently be used only for a few Gays
at the most and possibly lay around and
rust the balance of the year.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, April 4.-Criminal
Court Judge c. j. Randall today refused
to confer with the two Ohio penitentiary
convicts who confessed they fired the
prison a year ago. resulting in the
deaths of $40 prisoners. The conviets,
Hugh Gibson and Clinton Crate, had
announced they would plead guilty
when arraigned before Judge Randall
Monday, providing he would guarantee
them sentences of death in the electric
chair rather than life Imprisonment. =
Judge Randall said that in his posi-
ton he could no converse with the men
until they come into open court. 1t was
doubted If the judge would accept a
guilty plea, in view of the seriousness
Of the consequences of such a plea. So
The judge will name attorneys Mon

BERLIN (NANA.l Some interest,"

on at present with view to determin-

One Berlin professor, with half a
lifetime of specialized experience be-

SPRINGTIME
) BY d. c. PEArrm.

Some birds of passage in the Spring
require keen ears, sharp eyes. But the
chewink at least is willing to tell you
when he arrives here from the South.
Everyone who lives outside the actual
city hears him as early as five o'clock
when he takes up station outside Of
window and, reckless Of ones sleep,
beginds to grind out his little lay. "a
brink-a- brillllll!" he trills 1t, and says
it over and over. for Master Chewink,
who is also called the tohee. is counting
his lady love: more exactly, he is en-
gagged in sitting on a conspicuous twig
in all the vanity Of new, bright feathers,
and by monotonouSly whooping IA
brink-a-brilF' he hopes to make mate
come to him. Perhaps she will, per-
haps she is really enchanted. but
there are times when threaten to keep
a gun for the bird who sings from four
to eight.
Go out after breakfast and look for
the chewink. He is gone Only If you
plod UP through the oak underwoods,
where the mayflower is In bloom. and
the BURBERRY and huckleberry bushes
hang out small bright blossoms that mo-
body notices, you may startle from sorne
old tangled pile Of brushwood a warm
ing note Of "chee-wink, cheewink" az
the sly birds slips away, as fluent as q
mouse going down a small hall
Now rake the landscape with your
bird glasses, and at last and with dif1i-
Guilty you may catch glimpse of the
trim little fellow. with his black back
and rudy vest Look well On him now,
for soon ne will be gone to the north
ward, having, for some reason, disin-
clination to nesting in our cline.

Our planet is whirling in at least five

many different speeds Each orbit has
its own speed. Here they are:
l. Daily rotation 900 miles an hour.

A Sermon for Today
Men of Great Heart.
BIZ REV. JOHN r. GUM.

II viii very gladly spend and be spent
for you, though the more abundantly !
love you the less be loved. III Cor,
KILLS.
This was Paul speaking. We usually
think of Paul as a great theologian and
logicfan, and in both those I1eids ne
ranks with the highest. But here he
appears as a great lover. He was not
only a man of great mind but OF great
| heart. The secret of his power and
success as missionary and preacher
was not his intellectual brillianee but
his mighty passion for the souls of men.
All great uplifters of the race have
been men of great heart power. Jud-
son, Livingstone, Abraham Lincoln and
many others might be named as exam
PIES. The greatest souls have had the
| instincts of the Savior, and all true
savicrs are men Of compassion. OF
Christ, the Divine Savior, 1t Is re-
corded when He saw the multitude
He was moved with compassion" The
! man who has no compassion can never
be the helper and uplifter the world
needc.
The world needs great hearts more
| than it needs great intehectuals. 1t
needs loveps more than it needs think
ers. This Is not to discount the thinker
Emerson speaks of God letting loose a
thinker on lillS planet as an event
destined to create a commotion in the
world. Carlyle calls the arrival of a
| thinker in the world 1.-THE greatest
event. parent of all others"
| Certainly We have great need for
thinkers, and unfortunately they are
very slow in arriving. No, we do not
| discount the thinker We both admire
and appreciate good intellect AS in
| the case of Paul, one may be both in
| tellectual and compassionate. But too
often cur intellectuals are cold, con-
| ventional, passionless and unresponsiye,
| and it remains for men with warm,
loving and sympathetic hearts to gather
the fruits of their labors and distribute
them to the needy world.
1t requires man with great heart
to get close to the worlds heart. To
lift up the people around him one must
| stand above them in faith and hope
and courage, and in his ideals; and yet
In his heart and love and sympathy he
| must get down to them. A cold. heart
less man cannot be a great helper of
others. All great helpers of the race
are men Of great heart.

you do in the way of a business
career you will always feel that If
you can climb just one step higher
you might be success.
That advice which / used to give:
BE yourself. Change your job often.
Keep free" was meant for girls who
want to get ahead. Even then, it was
not good advice for most girls. To be
free ana to change your job often is
excellent If you are of temperament

take a chance. If you want to be
safe, it will not do to change your
job often; it will not do to try to be

try to be free.
If your temperament is cautious and
conservative you should stick to the
job you have and try to climb up in
