THE REST ADVERTISING. it Advertising of all kinds pays, hut legltlmnto advertising Hint is, newspnper advertising Is the best Investment of nil. Tho painting "ads" on your old fences or on tho broad sldo of a barn Is cheap; tho results aro tho samo. Rill boards pack ed around by itinerants aro well enough for guys to glnro at. Tho only practical good thoy do Is to give tho fellow who carries thorn tho price of a meal. Ad vertising In established publica tions is tho kind that pays. Tho other kinds aro dear nt any price.

Edgerton. i This matter must not be reDrinieU wuh-1 out special permission. An Experiment. I never heard of transplanting pota toes, which of course is no indicator that it has not been dune. At any rate I know it has now been done, and su cessfully, and that by n tramp gar dener that fell Into my place oue da., when I particularly needed him n did not fall from heaven, however, li.. from the river mud. whh b Is it er different thing. Any one who k:inv anything about river roads will appro elate how different. Before the advent of the tramp gn dener I bad a man who know nverj thing except bow to garden Th: man's omniscience was only tMjunlfi by his mendacity, a Is apt to In t'l case. A knnw-It-all Is nearly nlw::y Unr. He hits to be to keep np his rep utatlon. This man planted the potiitnes iv!i no one was looking ittiti got two r.iw where one ought to be. A nw: w' mikes two blades of ;;niss gn:w v.

At nay rate. v!i n !'! potatoes c-nme up tint U what the nri In question was called Later n t'le tramp t. nlener I'.ei up the situation.

Then, u h.'II at u !l:;i I. cnrefullv tool: uti everv other r-w . the potatoes and removed the a t I these new hills. This be rii 1 liv I-:v .

If It does, some vei:. of time will be saved, ro say untliln of the seed potatoes. n:id that tram, gardener will be entitled to pat him self on the buck. Is This Pansy cr Propliccy? Julia Ward Howe, author of the "Rat tle Hymn of the Republic." recent!; dreamed a "dream that was not all a dream." She saw a new era suddenlv dawn upon the world Men and women, as under a divine Inspiration joined to fight back evil In every form. Such a crusnde had never lieen seen sliict the world began. That brother hood for good exp'alned nil history lu Its eulmluatlon. P. gave a reason fot all Vie past, crow-ilng it with glory A tl why not? The best, the most Intelligent, men and women in aii lauds have sren that there Is nothing in wrong: that it does not satisfy, that It Is but an empty shell, a hollow uu reality, a diet of husks. Why shoulj they not Join to beat It back? That would be n movement worth living for. I have overcome a few habits In nij life, aud I have done it by seeing their uothluguess. They had no meaning In that far they were unreal.' What power had they over me. a real being? To retain tuutp puerile habits. 1 said, would be like a grown man phijli.- with a baby's rattle. That' made the battle easy Indeed, there was no but tle. The habit dropped away of Itself. Hoonlight and HycticisTi. What Is there about the moon tviU makes people think about love and ghosts, eternity nnd infinity and other pleasantly uncanny thitigs? I Sometimes when I see the moon ( shining across the broad river 1 feel a million years old. 1 get it real i shivery sensatlou that I have seen that same moon with other eyes nnd In other lands before the Sphinx lost her nose. Now. that Is uo way for a twentieth century num with a good digestive np-1 paratus to feel. What Is the connection between ' moonlight nnd mysticism? Any one who thinks he enn explain is welcome to try. "Mike." The wandering gardener that drifted Into my place nt the beginning of the summer, along with the birds nnd tho , hoboes that sift Into the country as soon as the days grow warm, has taught me somo new things In human nature. Tho only nnmc he answers to Is Mike, but ns he was born In Rhodo j Island nnd Is as much of a Yankee as nn Irishman, I cannot determine whether tho original baptismal for-1 mula of that abbreviation was Michael or Misaac. In addition to his other good works MIko has endeared himself to the goats by talkiug to them In a dialect they understand and by carrying them ' green and teuder branches several times each day. In consequence they know even the dents In his old and ' battered lint and call to him half way I across the place, crying In that pene- j tratlng and mournful note that makes j tho volco of the goat nearly half hu man and moro than half diabolic. i To the llttlo girl Mike tells stories' of the Mother Fairy that has her homo In the secondhand wilderness nt tho upper end of the llttlo slanting farm. Tho boys ho teaches to flsh nnd set traps and, when t'ey think it Is not work, to pull weeds, The love of children and of dumb things, like charity. Is sufficient rt cover a multitude of si us. of which Mike also has his Inherited and ac quired share. There is his wanderlust made him tramp most of the that h'i u 2S! VV of the earth end. not font that, has driven him to sail ln?fore the mast over the wet parts. There Is likewise his recurrent thirst that at the end of u period of months takes Mike out of the world for ut least a week. To the Only Woman Mike one day paid a -tribute to her more uuworthy half that well. It really does not mat ter what he said because be dashed It all by the mournful postscript. "He don't understand such old fellows as me." If I do not. it Is my fault and mis fortune. Have 1 been so eager to find the light for myself that I have forgotten "one of the least of these?" Have I loved humanity so much la the mass and the abstract that I have failed to care for them in the individ ual and the concrete? If so. I have mlssej the way. 1 must Gnd my brother iruiu In him that fal ters and stumbles. Poor old Mike: The wanderlust nt last will 1 e too much for him Ue will take to the open road, disappearing ns he came. But his lesson will remain. That has burned Itself home. Tlneonventioil Grjdsninj. Honestly. I have hopes' that people are going to get over formal, straight line, mecbankal and unnatural gar dening. It is time. Here I read an article from the Washington Star actually advlsiug people to take a spade and chop holes, nngles and curves In their straight borders. What are we coming to? This same artls-le s:iy.s that the Japa nese and other orientals have us beat en a mile as landscape g.irUeuers for the reason that they fellow nature, have curves, logs, di.'.ereut UreU. rock effects and other things In line with the vmy that nature and God C.a things. . Tills Is most hopeful. If a sufficient number of writers will begin talkiug In this strain we may do something. The only thing needed Is tu put out souls Into our gardening. When we have a spirit In dolrg anything we pet away from mechanical nnd forced .effects. How I Got tho Ton't Worry Habit. I have learned blnce I Hed with tlu soul of thing.! that people do uot need to tie unhappy unless they desire to be All this Is good If rightly seen and rightly placed. Gnd Is nctually run ning things, and running them right. There Is satisfaction In a thought like that. I used to be disturbed about the way the world Is being mauaged. I thought God was off the Job every now aud then, that things were going wrong and that the politicians had to make them right. Now I have come to the conclusion that a competent engineer Is lu charge, and ! am uot so much worried. Understand me. 1 believe that God works through people and that we must stand true to him, true to our soul impulses, true to righteousness, to liberty and to humanity. But there is no need of losing sleep about the uni verse going to the demnltlou bow wows. It Is like this: 1 used to watch n gang of men doing some gigantic work building a railroad or electing building and every cow aud then I became disturbed with the thought that they were uot doing In It the right way Then I reasoned with my self In tills wise: The man la charge of that Job knows more about it than I do He Is experienced aud takes every part of the work Into considera tion. He Is not maklug a mistake, aud there Is no occasion for me to bother my head about it. It was a comfort- lug cuncluslou. I am a part of the social machine, and to that extent my responsibility goes and no further In public mat ters I am legitimately interested. There I owe my duty to my country and my state. I also owe my duty tt the Supreme that I keep my heart opeu and receptive to his will. But I owe It to nobody to worry. I owe It to nobody to luterfere with his pri vate business or to be concerned about it. This Is a constructive world and Is going right My greatest couceru is to be constructive myself and to keep step with God and humanity. That Is one of the lessons I have learned from my llttlo farm. This 13 n universe of exact Justice. Were that not true It could not exist. Injustice simply means Incomplete justice, and uo Incomplete thing can bo permanent. Only that which Is whole and perfect Is durable. If thero could exist one wrong not ultimately righted, tho orderly course of things would bo disturbed and tho destruction of all would Inevitably result Tho world wants things that are gen uine. It wants people who seem to bo what they arc. It is tired of preten sion, of cant, of faklrlsm. It Is sick of tho goody good. It yearns for a llttlo wholesome common sense. It needs moro warm hearted, broad minded, sincere goodness tho real thing and not tho counterfeit I onco dreamed of a perfect rule of life that God would give to man, and this was tho form it took: "Asplro to nothing tho world can give. Aspire to all that I can give." Death is not a terrlblo thing. Wo dlo often. Rack along the years we seo tho ghosts of our dead selves. JAMES A. EDOERTON.
