A Gcrden

By Adeline M. Conner.

I love a little garden, When spring comes coyly smiling, Just a winsome little garden, With fragrant flowers aglow; A quiet, shady garden, Where wild bees come for honey, And spicy winds of springtime, Go whispering to and fro.

I want a little garden, For the joy I find within it, I want to plant red roses Beside a garden wall; And in the glowing noontide I'll hear the song of linnets, Or watch the brooding shadows, When night begins to fall.

f want a little garden, For the health there is about it, The smell of up-turned sod, And the tasks that one must do; The breath of early morning, Oh, I'll be there, never doubt it, Pruning shrubs and planting lilies, When the grass is wet with dew.

I need a little garden, For the lessons it will teach me: For the faith and hope and courage To be found in living things; For the tenderness and beauty

That from bird and flower shall reach me, And the dear home-loving spirit Where a wee nest gently swings.

Hotel Stcrtistics

A guest in a new hotel found the following notice tacked on the wall:

"This hotel is equipped with automatic sprinkler system. Statistics show that loss of life has never occurred from fire in a building so protected. So, in case of fire, you may get wet, but not burned."

When the guest left, the chambermaid found the notice had the following addition tacked at the bottom: "Now I lay me down to sleep, Statistics guard my slumber deep; If I should die, f'm not concerned, I may get drowned, but f won't get burned."

A Flcpper

A flapper has been defined as a young gal who bobs her hair, powders her nose, tints her face, blackens her eyebrows, and says: "Clothes, I'm on my way to town; if you want to come-hang on !"

Rank qnd Ranker

The official starter for many years at St. Andrews golf course was a venerab,le Scot who was no respecter of persons, and to whom one man looked no different from the other. His job was to take the names of players and assign them starting times for the next day. Kings and caddies looked much alike to him. So one morning when a visiting foreigner of title showed up and said:

"My good man, I am Count Schenzzli, and I wish to start at ten tomorrow morning."

The old starter never replied, just kept on assigning names and hours. So the visitor repeated:

"Did you hear me, my good man? I am Count Schenzzli, and I wish to start at ten tomorrow morning."

"4y.," said the old Scot, "I hear ye. Ye are starting tomorrow at twelve-thirty, and what's more, ye'll answer to the name o'Ferguson."

Rich But Not Relcted

They were holding the funeral of Cohen, who, according to the papers, was leaving an estate of two million dollars. Near the grave stood Levy, crying aloud as though his heart would break. A friend said to him:

"Vy are you crying so, Abie? ffe vasn't no relative uf yourn, vas he?"

"Sure he vasn't," said Abie. "Dot's vy I'm crying !"

How Sleep the Brcrve

How sleep the brave who sink to rest, By all their country's wishes blest, When spring, with dewey fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mould.

She there shall dress a sweeter sod. Than fancy's feet have ever trod. By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung.

There honor comes, a pilgrim grey, To bless the turf that wraps their clay, And freedom shall a while repair, To dwell, a weeping hermit, there.
