The dream of my life baa oome true. At

All the spring X hare furiously studied the
seed and plant catalogues, and In my mind's
eye thsre hat arisen a pootlo garden of de
light. I made an elaborate chart Of prospective
beds and hunted up a much raunted mat
named Johnson, who made his permanent
home behind a large blllboatd In an ex
tremely downtown dletrlot. He had been
highly recommended to me by two hitherto
faithful frlenda. - When I at last dlscorered
him, after a most exciting aearch, I Invited
him to "dig" aad "prepars" my beda. Ha
declared with a sweet smile that hs would
"arrive promptly at o'clock on the follow

For a week I waited around. At laat, one
afternoon, he appeared with hla asalstanU
a man who had looked often, rery often,
upon the wine when It was red, or any
other color that was drinkable.
Shortly after they began work I waa called
away by the severe Illness of a rery dear
friend.
I had been ataured In Impressive tones
tht what I wasUd doss would tak two
men an entire day, and perhaps longer.
Then the hideous queatlen arose, "Shall It

not add two and two without a large pad
and a stout peaolU I weakly said, "How
much will It be by the JobT" (I alao re
called endless pieces of work which had
beea done "by the hour.') After many

In my mind's eye I see a fair, old-fashioned
garden, bright with larkspur, stnntas,
caleopala, astera, marigolds, mignonette,
heliotrope and rosea, growing In masses.
The little Sight of steps leading to the top
terrace has a rustic railing, covered with
sweet, red honeysuckle. An arch at the
top glows with crimson ramblers. The ugly
fence la covered with clinging ampelopsis
(the catalogue said It would cling).
Sweet! Ah, thrice sweet, the pleasures
of anticipation!
Every night I see myself out with the
hose or my husband out with the hose

mesa the nozzle la so shiny. Ours was all
tied up with turkey red calico and looked
like a Fourth of July celebration. Alas!
In a few short hours It looked like a sea
serpent home from a tear.
Personally, I prefer soms one else to
manipulate the hoae. It wiggles and twists
and the place where It leaka always squirts
at my ankles, the one part of me that I try
to keep dry. Then It never turns on Just
right. When you are watering a fragile,
fairy, harebell the water whoops out like
a bursted water main and plows up the
earth for a yard around. When you want a

the men closed In and fought with their

of the bridge In a way to make the blood
of the watchers run cold. Every minute or

they would work back to the center of the

compelled to desist from sheer exhaustion.

A Washington newspaper man recently

senatorial fortunes. He put down the two
New Jersey senators, Kean and Dry den, for
$2,000,000 and $5,000,000 respectively. A day
doy or two after the article was published

Good stories are always plentiful about
golf caddies, says a London exchange. A
St. Andrews caddie named "Mathle" Gorum,
who made the Invariable remark after a
poor shot by the person hs was serving,
"It mlcbt has been waur," meant to be
consolatory and encouraging. His master,
a clergyman, was wearied with his well
meaning flattery. Accordingly, to make
sure that he would squash the remark at
once, ha told tha raddle he had a terrible
dream the night before.
"Mathle, my man, I dreamt that I was In
a place where the wicked are punished. 1
saw the wretched ones tortured; they were,

could not get landed for red-hot pitchforks
thruat In their faces by demons."
He halted a minute, with hla tongue In
his cheek, when, In perfect coolness, ths
caddie anawered: "Aye, sir, that was a
bad dream; Jist awful, but it mlcbt has
been waur."
"Waur, you fool? How eould that bsT"
