The plowing" waVflsne by tits-father-,
but the boy managed the rest himself.
He turned over the earth and then sol
emnly dropping his rake made a de
mand on his grandfather for "some of
that stuff that smells bad." This de
scription waa readily recognized as fer
tiliser; a pall of the stuff was given
to him and he worked It Into the soil.
Then he proceeded with his planting.
Last summer he raised tomato plants,
five hills of beans, two hills of summer
squash, five hills of corn, two of mel
ons, five of potatoes and three of cucumbers.
As soon as the weeds began to show
their heads Allen declared war on them.
Day after day he pulled them up, and
wnen the season was well advanced
his garden put his father's to shame.
Insects and bugs he attacked also and
every morning he carefully went ovaer
his plants, killing the little things that
were eating them. In this task his two-
year-old brother Stanley volunteered
aid.
At his first exhibition he won the
first prize. At his second he won 11.60
for a collection of vegetables. His last
rise was from an exhibition In Boston,
le never allows any one to arrange his
exhibition for him at these shows. Be
fore he sends his beans he washes ev
ery one carefully until It shines.
He loves his garden and what It nro-
duces and no money will tempt him to
part witn nis "crops." At nis last ex
hibition he was much disturbed because
a woman orrered to buy nis collection
of corn. Sweeping it Into his arms, ho

sending samples of his produce to his

The little boy is planning to enlarge
his garden next spring and raise an
even larger variety of vegetables.

She thinks not of dangers in store.

She dreams but of love on the shore.
And wonders what mien he will wear.
Oh, Love is a maiden's first right.
And seek not that right to ormose.
For why is she fair to the sight;
And why is her mouth like the roue'
Oh, argue not Vainly with fate;'
The answer can only be this:
Her beauty was meant for her mate,
