Watch and Use
the Want Ads
and you’ll not need
to be a mind reader
The thought has often come
to you perhaps, that you could
easily solve most difficulties if
you were a mind reader—if
you could for instance,KNOW
who would be glad to rent
your property, or to buy it;
who would be glad to employ
you.
Want advertisers, and those
who watch the want ads, learn
these things in a BUSINESS
W A Y —not through occult
means.

My Dear Adele—Hero we are In our
new home in this quaint New England
town, which I think can have changed
very littU* in the last 200 years. The
people u ho lived in it then were doubt
less well to do. for there are many
places which were at that time quite
Imposing. Our house is built ou the
street. wJth a terrace gardeu In the
rear, ni^s the place on one side la much
the same. Everything smacks o f the
seventeenth or eighteenth century.
I am glad that we have taken [Kisses-
slon before the flower planting season,
for I am sure I shall be devoted to the
old fashioned gurden. 1 shall secure
the service« o f a man to spude up the
bed* fur me. but I shall do all tbe rest
of tile work myself. You should see
how artificially they nre luld out.

Besides, there ure low hedge« and
dwarf trees cut in shapes that remind

Kept up. Everything there Is as trim
as if Miss Dorothy Somebody in tbe
quaint costume of two centuries ago

for. though spring has scarcely arrived,
I can see that when the season comes
I shall look out u|>on a delightful
sceue. Your loving
RUTH.

I have discovered who It Is that U In
terested In keeping up the gurden next
door, and m.v discovery Is surprising.
The dower cultivator is not n woman,
but a man. Who would expect a man
to take an interest In dowers?

wish rather that he would take an in
terest in me. for lie is due looking, and
from observing him through the win

Skyrocket Still
Holds Supremacy
Among Fireworks
**************************
T
HE skyrocket, with Its possibill
ties of flight, color and varie-
gated display, still holds its
position o f primacy ns the
most beautiful o f all fireworks. -The
tiring composition extends around a
hollow, conical bore for three-quar
ters o f Its length. When tired the bore
fills with heated gas, which, forcing its
way down through the narrow central
orifice, urges the rocket up through the
air. Above the firing composition Is a
plaster o f parls plug, through which a
fuse communicates with the head. :
which contains the stars, sparks, ser
pents. crackers or goliLund silver rain
to be scattered by bursting fire as soou
as the rocket has reached Its highest
point.
These beautiful effects, which ex
perts call the “ garniture.” are largely
trade secrets, always kept Inviolate by
the firms possessing them, in success
ful experiments with garniture for
rockets and shells the pyrotechnist
finds his richest rewards, while failures
are often attended by unforeseen de
struction o f property or life.
Some of the later devices In rockets
are o f surpassing beauty In grace of j
motion, brilliancy o f tire and variety
of color.
The new "golden cloud"
rocket, for example, presents to the
eye, nt the highest point o f Its fiery
flight, a huge and gorgeous cloud mass.
Mazing brilliantly for some moments j I
and dropping streams of fire rain far ; fl
below. How such an expansive and ¡J
continued display can follow upon the | ¡j
flight o f so small a projectile Is a secret
save to a
o f the higher guild o f
pyrotechnists. The larger rockets of
this type—they cost $8 each—fairly fill
the upper air with fire o f dazzling
brilliancy.
Even more Impressive and wonderful
Is the “ mammoth balloon rocket." j t
which makes the largest aerial display 13
yet achieved by pyrotechnic skill. At
a height o f (100 feet this rocket re- I ;;
lenses simultaneously seven balloons
with variegated signal stars attached. ,
These float In the air for some time. \
burning with changing colors of In
tense brilliancy. With ttmse the patrl-
' otic citizen can burn up his money
quickly. They nre sold for $12 each.
Another high novelty Is the “ diamond
chain” rocket, which rist's to a great
height and then projects a Serb's of
fiery chains with diamond shaped
links, which change swiftly In color
as they slowly descend nnd finally dls-
npjienr In tlie distance amid a shower
| o f colored stars nnd golden rain.

Your letter Is received, and I am de-
! lighted with your suggestion. You are
right In saying that the words are the
most beautiful, the most touching and
I comprise the most o f any written or
spoken ubout flowers. “ Consider the
lilies o f the Held; they toll not, neither
do they spin, and yet I say unto you
j that Solomon In nil his glory was not
j arrayed like one o f these.” The words
are a poem In themselves, a far more
effective poem than If they had been
written out In stanzas with a rime
In every second line. But I can only
give a part of them In flower letters.
Complete they would take up too much
room. Tw o or three words would be
quite enough to suggest the whole. I
think I shall put In only lilies, and they
to read. “ They toll not.”
