She blamea him for" tha Sixteenth street

Gardening la decidedly no occupation nor

man. So aays L. W. Wakeley, general
passenger agent of the Burlington, and ha
out to know for It haa cost him 173.60 cash,
and about 110 worth of hla spars time.
Along In tha early spring when tha call
of back to nature waa strong In his blood,
Wakeley got out the old spade and dtig
up tha space annually dedicated for gar
den use. Digging that garden gave him
lumbago and getting rid of tha lumbago
baa coat him ISO In doctor bills.
But. nevertheless, tha garden grew (with
tha help of $13.80 worth of water, which ha
religiously sprinkled on It in the summer
evenings.) Then came the Joyful harvest
time. Up to date $1.39 worth of tha green
things of thla earth have appeared on the
