For Instance, there wan a ruu last lull
near Hemiwtead, L. I., behind the pack

eighty different jumps, varying In
height from tlirec feet to five fe't one

there are sixty Jiihis.Io twelve miles.

Miss Elaine Clarragc, an attractive
young woman residing In San Francis

licly punishing Minu Trimmer, a for
mer friend, because of the persistent
atttr-'ilons she bestowed upon her (Miss
Clarrage's) father. Mis Ohtrrnjre, In
explaining the cause of the afTu1r. said:
"Miua Trimmer was formerly my
friend, and I Introduced her to my fam

but I discovered that she was , too
fricaIy with my father and came to
the honee only to nee hlni. I saw how

The burdock Is a bad weed for a care- '

seed, the product of seed is so enor
mous from each .plant th.'it, once they
get scattered over Ihe ground the place
will not be free from them for years

All that Is neees.ary nt any-stage of
growth is to cut the plant off one to
two inches below the surface and fill
in the hole that the part of the root '
cut out. has occupied with common salt.
The root is full of sap, which first dis
solves the salt, and then !.s the mois
