setmvtraglc it tills man to me merely a ki see pandalam hperoeptiblr- fin viewed there the lorn of his pet l0cv this dumb companion of us dumb socalled had fallen a ileum jtoottr machine age the animals r had been tossed to the side of a toed bleeding and broken ia every bone not that this airedale could be counted an exceptional pet he had exemplified evidently those affection- at traits quite common to his species he had manifested no doubt the ap pearance of a eal affection for his master he qualified as a compan capable of tenderness he could -nar- mally express sadness show joy as ja pet he responded to and instantly w jresected the moods and emotions of iman who had become his owner and of this he seemed not ashamed jjn brief though only another dog he tffswave evidence of posesslng an inner flner self after the manner of his own dnmb nature at any rate he had something within eomethlng eager to leap out in a display of feeling toward welldisposed men a dlsptajebierrln turn excited a flow of feeling from men also i stood for a moment by the road- ride i stood for a moment to medi tate nothing of strong emotion held me yet here lay a mans honored dog his closebound pet in a flash stricken of life stricken in the act of a leaping joy did not this seem a reckless loss did it not represent a useless sacrifice offered to a god of speed a sensitivehearted man gave wlt- mess to a story his manner lacking speech declared his loss a mere word had revealed his grief i stood not alone beside him a small group bad gathered i recognized there a young woman of our community the daughter of a highealarled official and incidentally a widlyrespccted citizen one of our modem daughters a girl collegebred keen of mind beautiful of body at a glance she appeared one of those young women fortunate enough to possess simply everything i had given some understanding to the dog owners grief instinctively i turned to the young woman the only feminine witness at hand hoping for a response as i searched her some what calsslc face her lip abruptly jcurled her bright gay- eyes went hard why proffered she wasnt he just a dog small loss i should say to grieve over one can buy a dog oh any day i looked aside the dogs erstwhile master made no reply nevertheless bis rugged countenance took on one of the saddest changes i would wish to age after a lingering glance at his silent pet be turned away and hur ried to bis pretty cottage no doubt be wished to remain alone un ashamed of a tender heart out of this trifling incident one added to a score or more recently- several not so trifling there came trooping to my mind a host of per plexing questions have we as s people reached an apathetic stage asked myself where emotion and feel ing and normal human sentiment are to be reckoned as human failings xcust it come true that the hardness bom of our workaday lives the de mands drawn by our pleasures the conflict appertaining to our popular sports that these shall fall to soften under the- influence of an extraordin ary incident be it tragic orearsome tender- or sad must it come that we shall r rights if i may say an anlmattjortrof brute- creation reality made not as we in the image and likness of his creator perhaps i have drawn faulty con- clualanst perhaps x have borne down a bit hard on a daughter i otherwise admire perhaps i will be thought a trifle ancient true i was bom in a v 4ay when men ameit lessfavored men and women knew each other tor what they inwardly were and were proud to be sufficiently human in that day or so it seemed to me the finer sentiments of this human heart of ours e themselves in no great fear of shame or scorn or shall 1 say ridicule even so as an observer of venture some spirit may i not deplore casual phaswi of our modern mode i do deeply lament the evidences i find eve apparent that we are in danger of a decliningemotional life i view with dismay a decided lessen ing of genuine feeling not related to our rightly cherished pets only but to nun and women to units of our own i do without lack of in- vtght discern a boycott put on a sln- oere show of sent unless it be rrfryyj sentiment as a vicarious experience in the semiblackness of a f theatre if it should follow that a materlal- i teistlc trend is destined to crush out t normahy active sentiment then the price we shall eventually pay for our spurious advancement will become a prohibitive price indeed to our better selves quite auptly let us ask this dare we irak a fall in oar soul life lower than the level of a domesticated animal in our

complain so far youve always got the day and month if id cooked the bacon in the first place everything would have been all right i went away down to market street to get the special kind of imported cuadt bacon that eddie nvlll iikoa sort of a sur- etlabt p or ut 9iiuki supper he likes it with lamb kidneys story but when i got horne alice called up and u seems theres something on her mind and only a reading can straighten it out and annie too she tens me theres something she wants tcdmow and wont i go to the rhediums with them i dont believe in that stuff myself but i like annie and alice and u if will help her peace of mind well i figure i can go to the mediums and get back home before ipddie this being his night at the lodge and do every body a favor so i says to her sure ill go lets get an early start but annie had to put all her kids to bed six of em and annies husband didnt like the idea of her going to a medium i guess he knew what it was she wanted to know when we got there we had to stand on the stairs until somebody came out and made room for us to go in and i didnt enjoy that very much as i was wearing my new satin slippers the ones with the spiked heels i dont like spiked heel anyway and i would never have bought them if id known how long i was going to have to stand on those stairs it wasnt raining when we started for the mediums just sort of driz zling and i thought it would clear off soi wore my new spring coat annie and alice hadnt seen it be fore before the medium was ready to read us alice was looking at the clock and annie was telling one of the attendants that she had left her six children to come but the at tendant didnt seem to mind and there was nothing to do but wait and then our turn came and we were the last three annie first and then me and then alice we would have saved a little time if shed put me last because i wouldnt have waited i dont be lieve in that stuff although she told me the truth she said everybody thought annie was a millionaire and that pleased annie cause she had her diamond engagement ring up where it would show she said i should have been a lawyer and that i was going to new york she told alice that no one could ever take the place of some one who had gone and alice cried and got her moneys worth than we got out and it was rain ing terrible annie wanted to take a taxi i guess she felt like a mil lionaire after what the medium said alice didnt want a taxi and i had to smooth matters over by saying there was a street car com ing- wa took hv and whan we got to the and of the line alice had to take- another car and annie and i had a long walk in the rain annie said her husband might not let her in so i had better go to her house and explain about stand ing on the stairs so long i felt sorry for annie having such a cross husband and for alice who had lost her husband i was glad i had such a good husband who un derstood me so i went to annies to see that everything was all right there and

wasnt j- glad i went to the mediums gardening notes the vagetaala garden the vegetable- gardener has much in common with the factory manager both like to- get as much from thelr produetlon space as possttria to do this the gardener resorts to two doub ling up arrangements called succession andoompanlottplantlnga he knows for instance that radish es take only a few weeks to mature thus leaving a whole row or more of space for another crop in this case a mixture of radish and parsley seed can be planted at the same ttmethe parsley being slower and obliging enough to give the radishes full sway for the first few weeks this is called companion planting as both crops grow together although one is har vested before jhe other other companions for radishes are cabbages or peas between the rows invthls case two rows are planted in a space for only one but as the rad ishes mature quickly and are used up there remains only one row with sufficient room for cabbages or peas another sugestlon is parsnips or beets between rows of spinach the spin ach is a coolseason fast grower and is soon used up snocessioa plantings in the case of succession plantings the gardener waits until a quick grow ing vegetable is harvested and them replants with another crop here are a few radishes followed by string beans early peas followed by turnips car rots or beets early beans followed by late carrots or beets spinach followed by sweet com to matoes or beans young onions from sets followed by eggplanm or peppers soil in good condition there are a few exceptions which should be remembered root crops should not follow root crops and the same is true of leaf crops turnips carrots or beets for instance should not follow radishes or swiss chard follow lettuce in practicing succession plantings it is well to see that the soil is in fine rich condition no that first crops may be harvested as soon as possible where needed add a complete plant food to the garden at the rate of 4 pounds for 100 square feet of surface soil forgetmenoto spray roses attacked by mildew with liver of sulphur one ounce to two gallons of water soak pot plants thoroughly before planting out and again afterwards in the

pleasant way to while away the hours jmltltjtatinly dofft not fjfs ty grand use a good lawn sprinkler that throws a spray like raindrops high into the air falling gently upon the grass let the sprinkler remain in one po sition for- an hour or two to really saturate the soil to a depth of four inches or more one may- water all day long even during the hot noonday hours ahice injury from this practice is more fictional than realjt certain- ly is much safer than watering late into the evening with nightfall leav ing the grass wet dundas plans to license bicycles in order to properly supervise the operation of bicycles in dundas it is now proposed to issue licenses cover- in their operation- the matter will be discussed at the next meeting of the council it is suggested to charge a nominal fee of as cents the reason for the proposed license lies in the fact that many cyclists ap pear to be lacking in care and cour tesy while using the streets the po lice will be able to check up the offen ders in this latter regard it has been pointed out that riding two and three abreast or with a passenger on the bike is not only dangerous but contrary to law motorists who have been
