IT IS gratifying
In the evening
twilight to scratch
In tho suburban
garden. In a
prayerful attitude
you kneel upon
the moist earth
and make drills
for your radishes
and onions. She
stands by and
clucks, holding the
seeds while you
scratch. And Just
as the rosy sun is
setting In the
west and the hori
zon is aflarao and
aflush with iri
descent colorings,
you drop tho seed
Into the seams,
cover It gently
with rich, black
loam and try to
assume your
natural perpendic
ular pose?
Oh! Ow! How
that kink in your
back does hurtl
And Just as the
bullfrog in tho
wamp sounds his first bassoon and
the black skaters on the lake begin to
fade from sight in the approaching
dusk, the bull-pup rushes madly down
tha terrace after a black cat which
he overtakes in the very vitals of your
radish bed!
When the pow-wow has subsided,
you mend the havoc and slap the bed
gently with a wet board. Then you
go into the house and calculate how
many radishes can be raised from Ave
cents worth of seeds.
Next morning you get up early and
go down to the garden. No, the rad
ishes are not up yet. Mike tells you
It takes oh, several days, and you go
away satisfied. The book says you
must water the young seeds copiously,
and you do.
After two weeks of waiting, you dig
Into the bed like a small boy Investi
gating the mechanism of his new
watch, and find tha seeds have all
rotted from too much water, and cold
earth.
Then you try It again, and while you
don't expect to have the first radishes
in town, you expect to have radishes.
When the plants do arrive there are a
dozen in a bunch. The book tells you
to transplant.
My, but that Is back-breaking workl
Mike offers to do It, but what 'good Is
a garden If you can't work It your
self! And then comes a regular Cardinal
Wolsey frost and nips the shoots.
"Why. you shouldn't have planted
radishes for two weeks yotl" admon
ishes a neighbor.
That makes you mad, and you quit
gardening. Mlko grins, orders mora
seeds and makes tho finest plot In
town. While you sit up in your room
and write things, he transplants and
cultivates and grins!
Pshaw, what's the uso of raising
radishes, anyhow? Why, last week
you wrote n story and sold it for
enough to buy all the radishes la
town!
Mlko saya the moral is that every
man should stick to his trado. Tou
say any fool ought to know bow to
raise a suburban garden.
Mike makes no reply. This Is dan
gerous ground for him!

Queer Dance.
A Kansas paper says: A young
man being hard up, pawned his dress
suit. When his finances were in bet
ter shape, he redeemed the suit. One
day his mother was looking over the
suit and found a ticket on the coat
the pawnbroker's ticket. "My son,"
she said, "what is that?" Then the
young man explained that he had at
tended a dance and, the room being
very warm, the men took off their
coats. Tho ticket was- placed on the
coat In the cloak room to Identify It,
he said. Then the mother found
similar tag on the pantaloons. "My
son," she said, gravely, "What sort of
a dance was that?
