Intelligence, Inexperience
By JO H N B L A K E
A G O V E R N M E N T attorney In a
* * large American city is noted for
the success he has had In prosecuting
lawbreakers.
His staff is composed almost entirely
o f young men, some of w hom are only
a few months out of law school or col­
lege.
Occasionally there young men make
mistakes which a law yer of greater
experience would not make. One of
them did. In fa rt, do Just this at the
tria l of a famous lawbreaker.
A fte r the trial was over I asked the
government attorney why he did not
employ older men.
H e said : “T he government gives
me only a few thousand dollars for
each of my subordinates.
Conse­
quently 1 can pay them only very
small salaries.
“F o r such a small amount I can get

work for little pay.

It has often been said that nothing
takes the place of experience. Like
most maxims It ts subject to several
qualifications.
A green man will undoubtedly make
mistakes which, with more experience,
he would avoid. But when It comes
to a contest between experience and
mediocrity on the one side and green­
ness and Intelligence on the other I ’ll
back the latter.
• • •
The very fa rt that a man has shown
little promise before arriving at forty
I
or fifty makes It probable that be will
never do anything outstanding. Where-
as, a young, promising fellow, green
ns be may be, has always possibili­
ties.
No man, of course, likes to make his
business a training school for smart
youngsters.
But no smart employe/
likes to All his office with mediocre
assistants, either.
It usually costs real money to em­
ploy brains plus experience.
Intelligent youngsters make mis-
takes.
But they can usually more
than hold their own with middle-aged
mediocrity.
“Oh garden flowers," she said to
them, “how well I remember the gar­
den parade of flowers, beginning In the
spring and lasting all through the sum­
mer Into the full.
“And how we used to cover np the
flowers In the fall with newspupers,
and re the newspupers would oot blow
away, we fastened them down at the
corners with pebbles from the garden
gravel path.
“ Yes, the pebbles even used to work
for the garden.
“ We all loved the garden, and we
always will love the gurden.
“And even If I cannot see the gar­
den now all the time, I can see It once*
In awhile, and the flowers w ill be sent
to me when I can't go to them.
"You travel so beautifully, dear flow­
ers, too, you keep so fresh, and yet
your Journey Is a long one.”
And the flowers whispered In their
sweet flower w ay:
“ We would not fade for anything,
for the one who sends us loves us, und
the one who receives js loves us, and
we want her to see ns as we are I"

i THE BEDTIME STORY
T ' H E flowers from the garden had
* been sent In a box to the city.
Some one In the city who was very fond
of this particular garden had received
the box.
And a fter one box had come, many
others followed aloug. for the first box
was sent when the first flowers came
out In the spring, and they followed
one right a fter the other a fte r that.
And oh, how the flowers from the
garden did enjoy their reception when
they arrived.
They were greeted so delightfully.
“ You dear pale lavender tulips," the
lady said as she received the flowers
from the garden, "bow beautiful you
are. You are Just the color of or­
chids.
"And here are the lovely pink and
red and yellow tulips— and here Is so
orange-colored one I
"H ere are the dear wldte lilacs and
their pretty soft green leaves and dear
me, dear me, how even the very twig«
smell so sweetly of the garden."
And then the lady saw some ferns
In the bottom of the box and as she
saw that the ferns were so new that
they had scarcely nncnrled themselves,
she almost cried.
“ Why ferns," she said, “1 grew you
when I was a little girl. And your
sweet fern fragrance Is so like that
dark cool corner of the garden where
I put you that It almost makes me cry.
Happiness often makes one want to
cry, ferns," she said. .
And the ferns thought It wns lovely

Potato Salad.
The secret of a good potato salad Is
In the seasoning. Potatoes should he
cut Into small cubes and marinated
with a thin dressing or with a French
dressing for several hours before
serving. It Is hard for seasoning to
enter Into a cooked potato. With the
addition of finelyeuhed cucumber, u
small onion finely minced added to
potatoes that have been cooked In
their Jackets, cooled und skinned arid
diced, with a good sulad dressing there
Is no reiison for a poor sulad.
A Hide finely-cut celery always Im­
proves a potato salad as does the add­
ing of a hard cooked egg or two.
Lemon Jelly with pineapple, a lit
tie celery and salad dressing, makes a
salad which Is especially refreshing.
