WHEN Mr. Iijwscr caiiie borne
from the oiiice the oilier
evening ho was loaded
down with a rake, a shov
el, a spade and nunicroiis packages of
seeds, and when Mrs. Bowser met him
on the front steps he smiled a farmer
ish smile and explained: ;
"I forgot to tell you before I went
away this morning that 1 intended to
make a garden this evening."
"But you had such trouble last
Bprlng," she protested. i
' "Yes; the blamed old cats around '
here destroyed everything, but I am t

going to try It again just the same. 1 1
tell you, I have got fo have something
green to look at when I come home j
something that I can feel belongs to
me. I ought to have been a farmer,
but as I am not the next best thing to
do Is to turn gardener a bit."
"What do you think of planting?"
she asked.
"Well, sunflowers and hollyhocks
anyhow and perhaps threa or four oth
r things."
f "Isn't it rather late?"
"It's Just the right time. The soil is
getting warmed up, and tonight we
hare a full moon. Mrs. Bowser, 1
really believe that what makes so much
vickedness in this world is the lack of
flowers in our back yards. If I was
contemplating murder and I saw pink
and white hollyhocks rearing their
beautiful flowers to heaven it would
Goften my heart toward all mankind.
In making garden, you see, I get the
benefit of the earthy smell, the exercise,
the anticipation and the flowers later
on."
"Well, go ahead," observed Mrs. Bow
Ber, "but don't blame me if anythins
happens."
"But what can happen?"
"Last year, after the cats got through
with your beds, there was one sun
flower came up. It got to be about a
foot tall, and then one day there camr
up a thunderstorm and the lightning
struck it. You said it was all my fav.il
and wouldn't speak to me for the next
twenty-four hours."
"Nonsense! You must have dreamed
that. Am I fool enough to think yon
control the lightning? I was sorry, oi
course, but I said nothing to you."
"Then you won't blame me this
year?"
"What bosh! What am I proitv? tr.
blame you about? 1 am goiuj to uavr
u few sunflowers and hollyhock.-! in our
back yard to g've it a homelike aspec.
and to keep my heart soft toward my
fellow men. If you take the ax an
chop them down when they come up o
if you try to climb them when they an
grown I may have something to bay
otherwise, not."
After dinner Mr. Bowser change:
into his old clothes an;I carried his out
fit to the back yard and began work
The feelings that come to a farmer in
the ruerrv. merry springtime came to
him. Crickets sang from under the
fence, beetles hopped 'about, and p
bumblebee c;tine Sailing along an;
missed his head by half an inch. Then
were no robins or bluebirds siiir'ii
but it .was easy to imagine that sue.
was the base, and he drew a lonr
breath and's'aid to Mrs. Bouses:
"Br lltnnrtor lint rhi ; in V.vliiee. th:

is cursing or tihting, there is no spirit
of revenge in the air all is peace and
good will 'to men. I c"fn f"l balmy
toward our old cat, thoinr'i iere are
times when I w-nnt to knock hi: blamed
old head off."
"I am glad you feel good over It,
replied Mrs. Bowser as he began spad
ing, bnt she was certain in her own
mind that something would happen to
put him out before the night was over
Mr. Bowser put hi trenjrth lno h:i
work, and at the end of half an hour
h ha4 the back yard pretty well tore

never intended the back yard to be
used as a garden. That was the rea
son ho ailed it in with plaster, brick
bats, oi l cans, chunks of wood und
shaving. It cou'd lie turned into a
nienagevie if th buyer so elected, but
never into a g.-ir:Ien. Farmer Bowser
worked away with right good will,
however, and before tiie sun went
down " 1 is sunflower and hollyhock
seeds had been committed to the keep
ing of oid Mother Karth. A few cats
came walking along the top of the
fence to be present on the auspicious
occasion, and now and then a hoodlum
going Ik, me through the alley threw a
beer bottie at the gardener, but things
went o:f without any riot. Other
ground would be prepared for seeds
the next evening.
"I want to tell yon," said Mr. Bow
ser when aii had been finished for the
night and lie had laid the tools away
and lighted his cigar, "that 1 am a bet
ter man for what I have done this
evening. When I got off the car a man
stepped on my foot and called me a
behemoth instead of apologizing. I
called h.:n a liar a-nd intended to go
out after dinner and lick him. Yes, I
was going to pound him to a jelly, but
the idea has fled far, far away. If he
should come along here now and ask
me why I didn't use the back of my
neck for my throat I'd only laugh at
hint. The closer one gets to nature the
more he can forgive in his fellow men.
Why, if ten banana peddlers came
along here and each one stopped to
yell at the top of his voice you wouldn't
see me get mad."
"If I should ask you for $3 to get a
new pair of shoes with, could jou
spare it?" asked Mrs. Bowser.
"Why, of course, my dear of course.
That is, I haven't got it right In my
pocketbrok this minute, but the first
time I have it to spare you can count
on it Do you remember one night
about two months ago when you call
ed up the subject of my love letters to
ycu before we were married?"
"Yes."
"Well, I got mad and denied that you
had a slrgle one. You said I called you
deary, ducky, angel, sweetness and all
that, and I answered that if I did I
must have been a fool."
"Well?"
"Well, I want to beg your pardon. I
not only called you by all tho.?e names,
but probr.bly gave yon the Idea that I
was the biggest jackass in America.
If you would take a club to me about
once a week I should be a better man."
The bats came out and buzzed
around, the evening grew old, and aft
er reading up on sunflowers and holly
hocks Mr. Bowser was ready for bd.
His garden, as Le eaw from a back
window, was lying fertile and un
touched in the bright moonlight, and
such a softness stole over him that he
picked up the cat and begged her par
don if he had ever called her yaller
eyed and plotted against her life. He
talked ngrleiTiture for half an hour and
then fell asleep, and Mrs. Bowser soon
followed, thankful that nothing In the
way of n calamity had happened. Two
hours later she dreamed that she was
in South Africa and hearing the roar
of a lion, and the dream was so vivid
that it awoke her. No sooner were her
eyes open than she found the roar to
be real.
It was Mr. Bowser roaring from a
back window. She ran through to him
just as he had heaved the water pitch
er after the washbowl. Down on the
earth beneath the window were six or
eight dogs that had come in through
the alley gate. They had raked and
scratched and rolled, and his garden
and sunflowers and hollyhocks were no
more.
"Woman," be said as he found her
beside him, "behold your work!"
"My work? Why, what have I got
to do with it?"
"Spite, envy, jealousy! I see your
fine Italian hand at every turn. I
wanted a garden; yon didn't. You
have defeated me, hut but"
And then he rushed downstairs and
out into the yard, and, seizing a clothes
pole, he did his best to slay and to
slaughter. Under the full moon, with
the earthy smell rising to heaven and
the crickets chirping their notes of
gladness., he jumped np and down and
swore that nothing short of blood
would satisfy his longings for revenge.

Have Selected a Site For
Our Passenger Depot at

Ever eiuee tiia Co jjoratiu (joia-OQis-jion

promised to build us a Uniou Pas

which to select a suitable bite, which
tiine limit expired today our peo
ple have beeu speculating, wonder
ing ani predicting wnere it would
be located, some advancing one
th? jry and some another, but none
!iave guessed tne real place.
The AiiUUd has contended all
along that Goldsboro would event
ually have a depot, and to this end
we have labored, and not iu vain,
tad we say with pardonable pride, it
is or will be, sn Aug us depot.
We promised you all along that a&
sooa as anything official was given
out that the Auu us would tell you
all about it, and we have the pleas
ure this afternoon ol fulfilling our
promise, i
The railroads interested today offi
ially notified the Corporation Oom-
oiission thac they had decided on a
lite for the depot, same to be located
it the loot of Mulberry street, run
ning South toward Walnut.
Tne drawing of the plans for tie
new depot was left with the Atlan
tic Coast Liine authorities and their
engineers are now at work on same,
and it is said that as soon as they
complete their drawings the work
will begin.
We were unable to find out
whether or not the tracks will be
removed from East and West Centre
treet, but ithe supposition is that
they will be.
How do you like the location?
We go forward.

LIFE INSLliAXCE EVILS.
The two great evils of life insur
ance in this country may be said to
be the deferied-pretaium scheme and
the scheme ot uustees for procuring
proxies to keep themselves in con
trol of accumulated assets. The two
evils pull together. Through de
ferred premiums great funds are ac
cumulated which have been and still
may be use in manipulating Wall
street securities, and the gathering of
proxies by agents in the fields en
ables the men in control to stay in
ctntrol until their stock jobbing
schemes have been carried out.
It is difficult to say which of the
two evils is the greater, but both
should be txea.ed as parts of one
vicious whole at Albany. The Arm
strong bills propose to put an end to
all deferred premium villainy, and
they should re der the re-election of
trustees iml s .ble until one full

Chronicling of a Week's Event in
That Thriving Neigh
borhood. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Gurley, of your
city, spent last Sunday with Mr. aud
Mia. It. L. Hooks.
In this decidedly progressive age
it is much better that wo try to in
spire continence iu our lellowman.
Sow the seed of an abiding faith in
the fact, that the average man is
growing better and not worse. Con
hdenc.i begets confidence, it is con
tagious, just as fear and the seeds of
suspicion and 1 ear sown in tho hearts
of thoie we come in contact with,
are not long in producing fruit.
Each one has his part to perform in
making the world belter. Let each
of us be faithful to our part of the
work.
If we would but remember that
many, if not most of the hard knots
in this life is caused by pulling the
wrong end of the siring, we would
be more careful about which we
pulled, and would save many
moments of wurry and disappoint
ments, aud would contribute in
finitely more to our own pleasure
and liappirjtss,and also those around
us, and would unable us to more
easily make cur lives "one grand
sweet song."
Well, the spring cleaning, and
moving household effects around has
gotten us so badly mixed up again,
we cannot find the door, when we
arise from our slumbers without a
light. To sleep in one corner of a
room during winter, and then move
in another and be waked up at night,
and try to find the matches, while
going in the opposite direction from
the mantle, run over chairs, strike
your toe, and stoop to grab it, and
come in contact wdth a chair post, is
not calculated t3 preset ve ones
smoothness of disposition, or cauae
him to think sweetly.
Toby is shipping peas early this
ear. He has sent off several lota by
the Moou light Itoute, consigned to
lirer Itabbit. He says that thing has
ot to be stopped, as he gets no re
:urns. S we provided him with
loaded sliells with which to send a
"tracer." What he wants to do is to
get in sight of the gentleman who
aas appropriated his goods, and he
will put him out of business.
The river having been rather full
most of the time lately, gives rise to
favorable conditions for fish trap?,
when the water falls. Mr. Lon Dail,
o ir neighbor, has made some fine
iiduls, getting 12 fine ones at one
ime, lust week.

Thin Skin Formed Over Body and

CURED IN ONE WEEK BY (
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"When my little girl baby was one
week old she Lad a bkiii disease. A
thin skin formed over her body and
under it was watery blood, and when
she was washed it would burst and
break. She wad in that condition for
weeks, and I tried everything I could
think of, but nothing did her any good.
When she was three months old I took
her to San Antonio to see a doctor, but
the doctor wo wanted to see was not
at home, so my sister pave me a cake of
Cuticura Soap and half a box of Cuti
cura Ointment, and told mo to uso
them, which I did in time. I used
them three times, and the humor began
to fade, and in one week she was sound
and well, and it haa never returned
since. 1 1 hink every mother should keep
the Cuticura Remedies in the house.
Yours truly, Mrs. 11. Aarou, Benton,
