If you owned a garden plot of rich, futile soil would you trust to chance winds to boar seed to it? Or would you deliberately tow It with tangling weeds, or even dull and unfragrant flowers? Never!" you cry, and again "Never!" Hut you do own a garden plot of the richest and most fertile soil Imaginable a garden plot teeming with sustenance for lovely flowers and wonderful foliage, gracious in shadow and dappled with sunlight. In your possession Is the finest gardens for planting well chosen Seeds. That garden Is your own soul. t m not over romantic or rashly I jdoalistlo when 1 tell you that of your I n nnlurn vitll 111 Q V tr ft k e R. B CI HOI! K garden. I am Just making a picture for jou 01 a iaci. Exactly In the way a wise gardener cultivate his plot freeing It from weeds and training to growth the flowers and fruits he. loves, you may tend the garden of your mind and soul. Whether you cultivate or neglect your nature It still must produce something. Why not direct the procesa-and Intelligently direct It to boot? The very first thing to do Is to go a-wecdlng. Root up useless unkind, eu ivious, discontented, Impure and selfish thoughts. They choke the ground in which you might be cultivation wonder ful bloom. They tangle their v. ay about the flowers that try to grow up to sunshine-end desti-oy them, L'p then the weeds must come. They can't grow if . . t,Am n imH inH sustenance. UU III' l - A jealous tliouglu can't think itself. Ton have to nourish tho weedllke loea tliat blows Into your mind, or it cannot Mke root. Don't think wrong thoughts just push them back into the void from which they came. Hoot them out o your Iftruni, , The wind of circumstance, win mow i vou whero it Huts and buffet you about ! only so long as you think yourself into j its power. It you let events blow weeds into your garden and complain mmm your Inability to grow flowers, of tours.; . hove a. waste of weeds. If you let clrcunwtances suggest trains I i f thought and action to you, and never try to direct your thinking and doing Into useful channels, your lire must, do a waste of weed, too. Isn't that logical? livery seed of thought you allow to fall tntn vnllr mind and to take root there will produce its natural fruitage. From j thistles, thistles come; from wheat, wheat. It takes no expert in gardening; to tell you that His fine thoughts ran never produce mean, petty actions, j Thoughts that arc mean and petty can not produce actions that are line ana oig. Everyone understands this In the world of naturs. Kveryone works along the line to this knowledge. The puxzle is how ican (anyone tail to apply it to the world of his own mentality as well? Good thoughts bear good fruit. Tha crop you harvest from evil thoughts can not bo evil. The proof of this lies in your own na, ture. It is from his crop of one Jar that the gardner learn wisdom, to cul tivate wore wisely a better harvest of fruits and flowers for tha next year. Now if you will Just weed the evil out of ,i!iv mind and aet about cultivating one sc:. of fine, Ideas and Ideals, you will be astonished and delighted to observa tho transformation this. will bring albout in y .ur ljfe. The way of it la this: Thought de velops naturally Into action; action re peated a few times grows to habit. Habit molds circumstance. Suppose yot: tegln to think work (what ever it It) uncongenial. Vou do It half heartedly. Presently you become a laiy shirker. Aud you are all too likely to grow into one of life's miserable failures. Failure you need never have been if suc- i-h liurl hum in vnnr thntieht Tnii hmd only to think of growth and Industry and advancement to win mem some lime. It your actual, physical garden is one geranium in a pot or a farm of acres you apply to it the best1 of caro sun-light, fresh air, the weeding out of useless growths and careful nurture of blossoms. Is your own nature any less important than a geranium in a pot, or a glass-cor-ered greenhouse? . A Joy Ride! Copvrl1r.1t, Intrrn 1 Nfn iM v c.

For I 've knocked about the world a bit, you see, since the days of the old gods on'tbe hilla tl Greece. And 1 bumped about on chariots then. 'Flivvers' are dreams to the side of them.

I had nervous spells and my fingers would cramp and my face would draw, and I could not speak, nor sleep to do any good, bad no appetite, and everyone thought I would not live. Some one advised me to take Lydia E. I'inkham's Vegetable Compound. I had taken so much medicine and my doctor said he could do me no good so I told my husband he might get me a bottle and I would try it. By the time I had taken it 1 felt better.

The overcoat and cap wheeled slowly In Marie's direction and shot forward a frosty breath. "Nope." "But, comrade." And Henri jerked his cap on the back of his head as he wheeled at right angles. 'It Is Important. Look. Here Is money. I take the swift little boat. 1 swish out of the slip. I swish down the river. I swish across the bay. Like lightning I swish, and I overtake the yacht Hilarity. I deliver the charming mald"- little bow here "and a kiss from the finger tips to the charming mademoiselle, and immediately I swish back.' Nothing is lost! All is safe!" "(let off the dock," came the answer. Hut. monsieur." "Hike." "I, Henri, detest you." was the angry response. And he followed Marie off the dock. Up on the street sfood the VUlard tour ing car, and as Marie and Henri climbed In It a fat figure slunk out of the shadows add hung on behind, gripping a thick cigar butt between his teeth. I'p ami down the docks ranged Henri and Marie, but not one motorboat could they find. Wherever they stopped the thick, tat figure dropped off the car and slunk Into the shadows. Henri had another idea. lie drove to a nearby saloon and procured a bottle of whiskey, which he offered to the man on the dock. "Thanks." The voice was one degree less frosty. The neck of the botUfi dis appeared Into the slit of the overcoat collar, and the gleaming buttle turned heavenward, "Voila." Henri himself took a lp and stuffed the bottle In his pocket. "1 shall go awav, my frend, but 1 shall return." He hurried back to the touring car up on the etrott and drove aay, and the thick figure slinking out of the shadows hopied on behind. In the ivory taoestrlod stateroom, as the Hilarity steamed slowly across the bay, June Warner suddenly rose snd rang for the stewardess. That puckered person came with alacrity, but before she went to June she stopped In the door of the crimson and gold salon and, catching the eye of Ortn Cunningham, bobbed her head and smiled her ingratiating vmlie and Jerked her thumb over her shoulder to ward June s room; then ha turned her palid eyes toward Gilbert HI ye for a fleeting moment and hurried away. ' t'id you ring, dearie T" she whined as June opened the door. "Yea,' June studied the woman a mo numt speculatively. Bhe could not confide in this creature. "You may ruing me some aater. please." "Yes, deaiie." Tlie i,lewaidei whivled and hunied to lite u' i of tlx' riiniMii, anl mild i-uUn, nl'etc ToMiny Thn.n.'is jM uci'A.eii I' lnniiijliHin and l.'luur.H with a hand on a shoulder of each. The stewardess, with a sidelong glance at the quiet Blye In the corner, hurried over to the group on the bench. "She wants some water." she whis pered, bending over and grinning her ugly grin. "Oh, yes." Again the grin. "Young ladles always trust me. Say, I think she wants to escape." Iilye, with a frown In his dark, hand some face, walked across and spoke to Cunningham. Orln nodded and, his eyes twinkling, went to the portable buffet, where he selected a long stemmed, grace fully shaped, gold lncrusted goblet of Venetian glass, He filled It with Ice and set it to one side. Then, while the others watched him, Tommy Thomaa with a half sneer and Mrs. VUlard with shocked concern, he took from a locked ease a tiny stone bottle. Now he emptied the Ice from the beautiful goblet and poured into it a few blood red drops. Mrs. VU lard 'half rose and looked toward nil- be rt Blye; then, with a catch In her breath, she sat down and was silent. lilye went to the door as the stewardess came up the gangway and called her in wlfh a jerk of his head. On the lips of Towards there had come a firm set, and his heavy lidded eyes had narrowed. Without a word Cunningham handed the glass to the stewardess, hut between the two there passed a look which was full of meaning. Wye. with his glowing eyes on the glass, smiled suavely. "I brought you the water, dearie," said the stewardess, entering June's state room. "Oh!"

It Is self-worship, soif aggrandise ment self to the cote. Distrust any act of kindness shown you by such a friend. It Is done, not to give you happiness, but to win your gratutude. The real friend never think of gratitude, though be would bo hurt by your Ingratitude. But he would a soon bestow a favor unknown to you, and he rejoli es to see you bene fited by others, 'and takes ' pleasure In anything which helps you no matter how remote It may be from his own Interests. Old friends endeared by yeajs of memories are best. Yet I have no right to reproach my old friend If he outgrows me In his tasteea and habits, and-1 have no right to call him changeable If he flrvis new friends more congenial In these things, snd who leep step with him. He may have found me sufficient for him when we both studied simple fraction together, but if he has passed Into higher mathematics I have no right to complain I If he no longer enjoys singing the multl- plication table to the air of "Yankee Doodle" with me aa In our early school .days. I had better blame myself for j not making at least sufficient progress I to appreciate him. even If I cannot enter into full sympathy with his higher devel opment, if I am worthy the name of a . true "old friend," I will rejoice to seo him speed on and up even If our paths of necessity diverge. j Not long ago I heard thinking woman say that she could forgive the sin of ' commission In a friend far sooner than ! a sin of omission. "An unkind act or word may spring from a hasty temper or a mistake of Judgment, hut the frier who sits still ami silent when I need a defender or a mentor commits an un pardonable sin." she said, and said truly. When I would prefer my friend to be the first to pialse me for well doing, I ran excuse lilin for being the last, If ho la the first to warn me when I am doing j wrong. Ho Is no friend If he gees m drifting toward the rocks snd dors not I tell me so; if he sees me preparing f the battle with a flaw In my armor, and j doee not point n out to me before the, fray begins. If he has not discovered it until we are in the thick of battle, then the true ' and wise friend will keep silent, least th , sudden consciousness of my weak point should unnerve me; but lie will keep his own eye upon It, and stand ready In come to my assistance if the flaw proves my full u re. 1 do not want my friend to feed and clothe me, for that would enervate my Mrength and roh m of ray solf-rollance. I do not want him to carry my burdens unless he sees my strength falling me. I 1-rt him not perform my tasks for me. but rather stimulate me to labor; lnsta4 of doing my work let him encourage In me a belief of my own ability. !et him chide me for my idleness, and spur me to achieve result with my own powers. In Charles Klngley's delightful little book, the "Water Mabieo.' there is a wonderful weird water-sprite who makes people makH themselves; she does not create people, but she teaches people how to create themselves; this la the olfice of the true friend to lell us how to create oui selves and to urge us to action.

Liquid helium Is 454 below, liquid air 310, and liquid hydrogen 41R. These degrees of cold are beyond comprehension. And many new properties of matter have been discovered by subjecting various phases elements to these low temperatures. Thus. It Is a theory that chemically pur metals would allow all of a current of electricity to pass without reelstsnre; that Is. the more nearly the absolute purity and absolute cold are reached the less the observed and measured resistance to flow of electricity.

All of Its energy radiates away slowly In 15o0 years. If all could be set free In an infinitesimal period of time, the explosion of one ounce.
