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.

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

anything about river roads will appro
elate how different.
Before the advent of the tramp gn

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

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.
