lion strong and sane and sweet do
they become who work often In garden,
for the sheor lqve of It.
:They are always learning, loving, Beck
ing tq. understand and to utilize.
They foster the beloved weak and fight
tho Inimical strong.
They root out the fullness which is a
'fault and fill the emptiness that cries
for more.
T,hey are able to beget and breed
beauty.
Tlioso who work in gardens plant other
UilnRH than. .seeds .and bulbs, tubers and
cuttings. They plant hope and faith and
love.
They gather In moro than crisp vege
tables, lucent fruits, and flushed flow
ers, for they gather hardihood and Health
and a rich fulfillment.
Having planted according to Uie law,
they expect germination according to tho
law, and tho flower and the perfect fru.lt
They do not worry lest what ought to be
will not be. They havo tho confidence of
seers,, wherefore they aro seldom disap
pointed. Those who work in gardens work in
the laboratory of life. They know as
much as oily ono of Its coming and Its
going; Ann far moro do they know, than
most pf us, of Its growing and striving,
fighting, winning, blossoming, becoming
and being. They see many mcantngB un
intelligible to others.
God has given Into their hands a book
of secrets. , ,
As they press the' earth with kindly
hands they smile Inscrutably, and the
earth yields up her smiling strength as
their-reward.
In u gurden thcro Is as much chance
for self-expression an In any art, it only
tho soul of the gardener bo free of a
money bond.
For a garden may- bo compact enough
to reveal the careful soul, whimsical
enough to show the dreamer, stately for
tho proud, homelike for tho hearth-lover,
fragrant for tho serenely religious. Tho
variety Is endless. The combinations can
not bo counted.
But always, thoBO who work In gar
dens, make them In something, llko
themselves.
And there Is In a garden as great a
ehnnco for altruism ns' in any philan
thropy. The sick of soul will lag beside, a slop
ing lawn, or under tho generous shude-
bestowlng tree. Tho weary of heart can
find a bit of peace In benevolent armors,
or In bowers of' friendly shrubbery.
Naughty children sometimes become good
when they peer through hedges and are
surprised by tho ' sight of a fountain.
The poor can forget their debts for a
space whtlo they watch bowltchlng pop
ples nodding to each other. And aro
'there not a few convicts who would bo
gentlo with the arms full of roses?
How natural It Is that those who work
often In gardens should bo strong and
sane and sweet? They nro very close to
tho heart of life. Perhaps, also, they
are close to God.
Flowers for Porch
and the Window
turtlums, too, look well with sucn n
house. It often happens that a box filled
with vines only ts moro attractlvo when
used on a brick house than ono boasting
a profusion of flowers. Ivy and money
wort, like vlnca. are good vines to grow.
If the soil is madt extra rich and the

plants.
HEADQUARTERS
FOR
' With what high hopes do hundreds of
flower lovers start porch and window
boxes in the spring, only to see the plants
wither and tho flowers fade before the
Sanson has half gone "by. And yet. It Is
posslbla to havo a thrifty little garden on
tho porch pr In tho window until long
after frost -comes. To begin with n strong
box, fully eight Inclib.i deep, is iceiled.
Many people err In using bexeg that
ore too shallow and so dry out quickly.
The box must be tho garden. Well rotted
manure may bo mixed with, the soil, or. a
small amount of bono meal udded. The
third requirement Is water In abundance.
Soli In boxes dries out much morq quickly
than that In the garden and. If neglected,
tho plants will perish of thirst. Dally
watering is needed If the box Is In tho
sun.
When tile middlo of summer comes,
window boxes that made a hravo show
up to that time begin to look Berdy and
forlorn. Tl(ey needed to be fed, und sev
eral light coots of tnanuro will carry
them nicely through the season. Or, the
plants may be watered weekly with man
uro water the color of weak ted.
The geranium is well adapted to white
houses of tho conventional type, and
variegated vlnca supplants it well. Nas

"Our new preacher promises lu be a
sucOfws," remarked the retired merchant
' "He's a fearless, .agtrrosslva man, and
tho way he sailed Into tho sinners last
Sunday was a caution" to malefactors.
Tho whole congregation was pleased with
him.1;
"Of course, everybody will bo pleased
wtth-hlm at first," answered the hotel
keeper, "because he sticks to glittering
generalities. There's nothing safer for a
preaoner man to roast' tno uofrgono stn
lers so long as he takes them in bulk..
"There's nothing I like hotter than to,
sit in my pew in the sanctuary and.
watch the pastor taking the hides off

nize any of my own pet frailties In tho

an of trago and tho preacher ought to ! Everybody was satisfied with tho tlmi.-
honored system and all that was asked
of the chief of police was that he'd wear
a brass mounted harness and look aa
imposing as possible, so as to make a
favorable Impression on such eastern
Capitalists aa might come to town to In
vest their money. Everything moved
along like a marriage bell, and no town
in the Country had less grief.
' "Then Ulndernagle waa elected mayor
and ho appointed Bllt Snoot chief of po
lice. Bill never had amounted to any
thing. He used to stand on tha curb all
day whittling and looked so much like
stick to Jonah In the whale, and Daniel
in tho lion's den, and. not, get 'down to'
gross personalities.
"Tho man who is going- tp bo aggres
sive, either In his talk or his writings,
is bound to run up against a snag be
fore Idng. Tho now preacher will hn all
right so Jong us ho scores the human'
race, but pretty soon ho'll begin hitting
on me mpmocra or his congregation and
then a committee of grave and roverend
elders will call on iilm and atk him to
take in his sign and make room for a
loss aggressive man.
"The aggressive man stirs up iv lot ofie graven image that tha farmers tied
trouDio and never does any good. Kor
years and years the office of chief of'
police u the town was a nlco little snap
that was passed along to the faithful
for service rendered. When a .new
mayor, waa .eloted he chuiH. for Thief of
police the man who had done the loudest
their horses to- him. But when ha put
in a blue suit ancf a big brass shield he
swelled up with a senae of hla own im
portance and became the most aggrea
alve official you ever saw.
"It vifae wonderful tho difference a
brats mounted harness made in that
man. At first he inaugurated a cam
paign against the loafers who Infested
the street corners, and all tho leading
citizens and prominent buslneas men
were enthusiastic and said it was a gen
uine blessing to have an aggressive of
ficial. "Encouraged by the applause the chief
of police spent his spare time rending up
the city ordinances and he got wjae, to
about COO laws nobody had ever heard ot
und these laws wero being violated every
day. Ho he began arresting taxpayers
right und left for all aorta ot fool of
fenses, and people had 'to break open
their children's saving banks to pay their
fines. Every morning ten or fifteen clt
lzena would be lined up in front of the
police Judge and soaked' for having lied
cows to shade trees or something of that
sort..
"There was a regular rclgn of terror in
this doggone town, l'eoplo were afraid
to venture out of their own yards let
they'd breuk kome kind uf a law, Then
the whole town sickened of the aggrea-
ve policy and ono night a party of
earnest citizens took the chief of pollco
down to the creek, Just below the dye
works, whoro tho water usually I, violet,
or pea green, and when they had soaked
him there for a while all the zeal in him
evaporated and when lie showed up for
duty three days later, dyed n pale green,
he was the meekest chief of police the
town ever had."Valt Mason iu Chicago

I'ago I'ttgu, who la visiting Sydney, Aus

a very marked devotion to their church,
oven though they did not always adhere
to Ha tuneta.
Taking them as a whole, their contri
butions tu religious enterprises far ex
ceeded the biblical tithe, and. with the
exception of the Mormons, whoso adher
ents were few, the missions in Samoa
.were self-supporting. Tho people were
generous to a remarkable degree, and any
stranger white, brown, yellow or black
was received In any house, supplied with
food and sleeping accommodations, no
questions being asked about compensa
tion. As far as American Hamoa was
concerned there were so few foreigner,

been stamped out by imposition or abuse
