lived for years In the corner of the bighoiua of the neighborhood known as"Porkers Fony." came to tell me thatUie Gtovernment' had stocked hiastreams with trout, and that he-intendedto fit lip the treat old; clace as a 'sortof fisherman's lodce, keeping on with itM a Summer resort—If the. flshermen

Oh, no, I simply couldn'tlet outsiders tramp ruthlessly . throughthe only Paradise I had left! -

And I brought out the great bowl ofthe pink, little Mayflower that I hadgathered that morning, and when I toldhim how, over in the Held where themoss grew so thick and lone. 1 hadlifted a great, thin cako of snowy Ice,and found the fragrant little pink flow-orj waiting for mo cuddled In the shel-ter of tho friendly gray stones—T couldnot."help but weep as I fell ddwnjmd

"I'll .warn every one of them." ho ex-claimed emphatically, "and I'll rig up asign that will make "Chreiirrnrttcrslundthat anyone touching a thing-but trout,will be run out of tho county!" So Icould but conesht, and I want to sayright-here that that magic sign not onlylias kept away trespassers, but hasbrought me many worthwhile friends.

AS.HE was leaving, he said tenta-tively, "I don't suppose you'd care

to be a posey-flxer up. to our place? Abowl like that,' now," looking wistfullyat the arbutus, "makes city folk gocrazy! I'd pay you well, for it," heurged. So I consented (for I had ascheme working Ito the back of mybrain)., and. not only have I been ar-

, ranging flowers for three years pastfor his popular resort, but also, for therival- hotel on the hill—the neighborssaying that absolutely the only thingthat these two proprietors ever'wereknown to agree about was their genu-ine admiration for my flower-touch.

I think that perhaps the secret of mysuccess has lain in the fact that I havestudied; the needs of the separate roomsand have known just where to lay myhands' on the harmonizing flower.

In the little. French room I-placed the ,daintiest of my treasures—low, moss-lined bowls 'Into 'which I .had trans-

took much thought and ohT so muchback. But I enjoyed it so that I wasable to do It all myself. Ned and I wereIn the woods every morning at sun-up,,landing our morning harvest at sixo'clock, one day at one hotel, the nextat the other. Of course, the entire placedid not have to be decorated freshly,before I made my escape at 7.30. Cer-tain things, if plucked, at Just the righttime, will last a. week. So I Just nadtime to throw away the fading things,'renew some, change others, give allfresh water and make Up some newones, clearing away all litter, so that Iwas beloved by the servants, before aguest put In an appearance.

As none- of the 'gueste ever caught aglimpse of me. I 'learhea-'S.afterwardthat they always spoke of me\as "TheWild Flower Wraith." So I spent sixmonths of the year.

Then through the long Winter months.I-was Just as. happy, collating, tabulat-ing and generally systematizing myfather's voluminous woodcraft notes.

This brings me to my Jam secret.From the minute that my kind nefgh-bor asked me to be the wild-flower, ladyof his establishment. I saw that-I mightcommercialize my one talent" Instead ofhiding It in a napkin, and that withthe returns from that talent, I mightbuild still another castle—but not en-tirely In the air this time. So I decided

_thexL-jnd—there-to_flhlsh—father's—lifework, and through the publishers, togive It to the world. I knew that Itwould take time and money to haveeverything typewritten, and to take Itfrom publisher to publisher until Itfound an rtppreclator.;. So this year, I

'am going to take my modest savingsand sally forth In search of the £ne

Does Thrift Mean Riches

A WRITER IN a recent Issue of thn"Woman's Home Companion"

says: "Thoro are thousands and tensof thousands of .excellent persons inAmerica and Europe and other less for-tunate parts of thu planet. Their, chiefboost and satisfaction Is that they havesomething 'up their sleeve,', or, to put

Jt differently, an umbrella neatly rolledand folded ready to open on a rainy day.

"Look at them in the mass and askyourself whether slnccrly you can callthem rich In any. decent'meaning of theterm. Do they think rich, do they actrich, do they smile r(ch? They do not.They are not rich'. They have not eventhe merit of being openly poor. Theyare jrelthcr one thing nor .the other.They are the-cautious ones, selfrdeny-Ing and secretly envious:

"Mind, I do not object to thriftyhabits. Positively, I practice them my-self. I desrrTthcm.a proper Item In ex-istence. All I saw. Is that thrifty habitsalone never, did and never will make

come the main Interest In'-life their In-fluence Is apt to beocmo narrowing, dls-slcatlnir and Impoverishing." And whenah eminent essayist like Arnold liennett.thinks so there must be more than aKraln of truth In it, don't you think?

There is a catalpa,supposed to be a variety of our native •.one,' Jblgnonioldes, which makes adWarf, rounded growth only, formingiumerpus branches of about six totwelve Inches In, length, a mere dwarfbush, in fact.

An Australian pearl diver says thatone of the stfanke effects of diving Is

•the Invariable bod temper felt whileworking, at tho bottom of tho sea. Asthis usually passes away as soon asthe surface Is reached, it is probablyduo to tho pressure of the air affect-Ing tho lungs and through, them thebrain. The exhilaration and good tem-per of the mountain climber are con-trary feelings from an opposite cause.A diver becomes so angry at someImaginary wrongdoing on tho pare ofthose in,tho boat above that ho givestho signal to_-be pulled up, "with thaIntention of knocking tho .heads offtho entire crow,"'only to forgot whatho camo up for when tho surface IBreached.—Argus,

Every woman should pay weekly at-tention to her clothes that are hangingand not in use. Two different kinds.of .'brushes are needed to keep tho clotheslooking- fresh: One-is the usuarwhlif—and, the other Is on the order of ascrubbing brush. Use the whisk forremoving aust-from the shoulders andother parts of the garment. Tha otheiL^bruslTTsTiandy at all times, -; It-will - rremove mud and will also removethick, heavy lint that sometimes set- "ties on pleats. If the suit be a dark .ono and has begun to assume a rusty ' •"appearance, wipe over lightly with a. .flannel cloth, wet with vinegar. .Thereis no excuse for spots on any garment.Soap and water are sometimes effec-tive for removing, stains. If this treat-ment should not bring about the de-sired result the use of gasollno isalways satisfactory.—Argus.

For Better Railroad ServiceTo the People of New Jersey and the Public :

Before the New Jersey Legislature is a bill to broaden the powers of •the Hoard of Public Utility Commissioners. It was introduced into theHouse by Hon. Etnnior B. Roberta, of the Grange ; into the Senate byHon. I^ewist T. Stevena. The measure is supported by the New Jersey-State Chamber of Commerce, following exhaustive study of the problem,.and by newspapers generally It is heartily approved by the railroads.They lake this public method to say HO and why.

Thin will nccomplitili in reality what the "full crew" law of 1913wns intended to do. The effect of that law no far lwn been to forceupon the railroad* in New Jersey a total coat of $1,250,600. Such ex-penditure, which, as every cost entering into; railroad maintenance andoperation, inevitably in met by the public, hua been wattle, for it nccom- ' •plished. nothing ot value. • A*

•""' . ' ^ ,*linnctineiit of the bill will take nothing from the public that it does

not restore in greater degree. For an arbitrary Inw recognizing no con-dtlioun— but, with limitations, requiring on trains a given number ofn'en regardlet<H of differing circumstances surrounding operation of nuclitraitm and the nervices they perform— the bill Hub'ttitules the intelligentj iulKemunt of selected men entrusted by the Coininonweiilth with safe-guarding mid promoting the public lute-real,

\\\c c-xiHting HlniuU'-T-an ''exceMs man" crew law, not a"full" ctuw luw HI* it wittt nnincd to accomplish it* enactment — railroadsin New Jerttuy are compelled, to carry on trains, .where they ore noti i f t fd i - i l , Home .150 men wlm would be otherwise, very ndvantageosly em- ,ployed. K a l l i i m d n do not week to n i i ( l (Minnn trains. On many trains —panneiiKer iiinl f re ig ln— they now put larger crewt) than the law requires,tliirt io cmtua- Hiife mid cifiricnt opirrmion.

What this hill will do IH to make certain that nil .railroads In,J«> r H t '> 'H»«ll properly crew i-.very ualn. It gives ' tHe 'Utlliiy Commie-

PUIPIT TOPICSIS THE KIN(JI)0.« COMING I

The text is from Mattho.w 5:10.The more carefully wo stuiiy tho

Lord's Prayer tho more wo are Im-pressed by Its many-sidedness. Hero isa prayer of a scant dozen lines thatreaches high as heaven and doep ashell; that IB as long as man's desireand as broad as the thought of God.Nothing Seems to bo omitted, nothingcan bo entitled, for it .was framed bythe mind of God Himself arid givenas an everlasting model unto the chll-.drcn of man. . It expresses the simpledesires of the child and yet gives voiceto the deepest yearnings of tho sage.Lisped by children at 'their mother'sknee; uttored brokenly by wanderersfrom tho Father's house, by thedoubter seeking after light or tliosinner searching for salvation; sobbedforth by.the fatherless and widows,tile tempted and the tired, Ilie shamo-

• faced or the saint In need, all can findsome clause that wi l l help and bless

•and strengthen them whatever theircondition.

Of all the clauses In this wonderfulprayer, however, the one is the leastappreciated and understood. Morescoffs _and Jeers . have been hurledagainst it, more doubts as, to the san-ity of the Saviour in uttering it. moreViolence and rebellion in denouncingit than have been used against all theothers put together.

Any why? Because man knows thatever: since its utterance tho kingdom

i of this world has been triumphing in-stead of the kingdom of our Lord andof His Christ. Because, day by day.he sees the unbridled passions of manflaunting themselves in atrociouscrimes and infamous vices, all con-trary to the ethics of that-kingdom. _|

In Matthew iv.:2,J we are told, "Jesuswent about all Galilee teachingtheir synagogues and preachinggospel of the Kingdom," 'Why?

mt-fe-'

IntheBe-

cause the .application of the principlesof the gospel of the Kingdom wasnecessary unto the material world,unto material men, and it was for the

- promulgation of these principles andof this Kingdom that Christ had be>e:idivinely ordainedj

We see, then, that thfa Kingdomthough not material, has special ap-plication to the things of life and Is-very necessary for the development ofthe material unto its highest andholiest ends.

What, then, is this "gospel of theKingdom ?"(, Having found its naturewe areTnow anxious to know Its divinecontent since it means so much to allour hearts and lives. For answer tothis we find a most definite and par-'tlcula* 8immary__of__lt^j;JTfin_' ia^

"Theand

'things be so. The powers of theKingdom are--not' personal, with.' Qbdalone, •they are also ' personalyou. , "Behold the Kingdom of God is'wlthln'-you," -the'Master says.' Youhave within'yourselves tho principlesof the Kingdom, tho principles; •'•of.righteousness, peace and Joy In theHoly .-Ghost. If the Kingdom has notcome it is our fault, not the fault ofGod. Let individual hearts and.-livessho'w forth the principles of 'right-eousness and peace, then joy likeriver, deep as tjio sea, shall flow in anoverwhelming flood over all the earth.

.Men -and women of the Church ofloci, let us stop whining against God

because the Kingdom has- not como.Uet us not only pray for it but work'or it ourselves, bring it in ourselveswith God's help, and soon unright-eousness wil l hide its diminished headn guilt and shame, war be forevermulshed, peace and righteousnessstablished over all tho earth, with

hoi'y Joy and live Kingdom forever:et up within the kingdoms of thisivorld as well as In the hearts andminds of. men, $p "That at the nameof Jesus every knee shall bow. atthings in heaven and things in earthand-tliings under the earth andnevery-|-|-tongue confess that Jesus Christ isLord to the glory of God the Father."

FEEDS THE FIVE THOU-SAND

Golden text: Give us this day our'daily bread. Matt. 6:11.

The feeding of the 5000 with fiveloaves and- two flslles is the only one

Romans xlv.:17, where it says:•Kingdom of God Is not meat

of our Lord's miracles that Is recordedn each of the four Gospels. \fbat fact

shows that the Holy Spirit wished todraw special attention to this miracle,and Jesus Himself emphasized themiracle by repeating it, when He fedhe 4000 with seven loaves and a few

fishes. He afterward reminded Hisdisciples that He had worked themiracle twice in order tp show themthe unreasonableness of their lack offaith. (See Matt 14:16-21; 15:32-39;16:8-11. See also Mark 6:3d-44 anilLuke 9:10-17.)

One very significant fact about thismiracle is than when, Jesus undertookto provide a miraculous supply of foodfor a hungry multitude He made muchmore than they could eat; for twelvebaskets were filled with-what theyleft The. Greek _word Kophdnousmeans large baskets. Whatever God"gives, he gives abundantly, but we, Hischildren, are not able to receive allthe-fulness of blessing ithat He-desiresto bestow upon us.

mal nthat nothing be lost," Jesus said.Would it be possible to give a moretriking lesson on the duty pf being

economical In our handling of thegood gifts of God? Jesuft had firstmade- a superabundant supply of food

oasily havo made as much more, butHe would not allow what He had madeto he wasted. We are not told whatifse was to be made of itlhe&e gathered'ragments of broad and fish, but Itleeias a not unreasonable assumption:hat the Lord Himself and Hisdisciples may have made quite a num-ber of meals off these scraps. Cer-tainly He was not too prouil to eatwhat others had left.

An. Important lesson from this nar-rative Is that God works for manhrough {nan. Jesus could as easily

havo made a supply of food out of thestones, or out of nothing', but Howould not do It; Ho would not workwithout such aid an His disciples couldsupply; although It was utterly Insig-nificant In propontllpn to tli/e noed tol>o supplied.

Watering.

TIERE are three ways of'watering;too little, too much and just enough.

KVW err In the first way, many In theM-cond. I think I .am Bate in assertingthat most house planta die of over-watering; they are literally drowned.

Wate/~'}'our plants- thoroughly andthen do-not water them again until thesoil begins to dry on top. vln cloudyweather, they cannot take care of much

'moisture. Plants love a bath, but theydon't want to live In n -bathtub or evenIn a bog, anymore than you do.
