Suppose that evil thoughts were weeds That rankly grew apace. And every dream of selfish deeds Should blossom In dittgrace. While every Irnpulae to be kind. To ease some other's woes. Should bud and blossom In your mind A far and fragrant rose. Suppose, that every idle whim And every thought of scorn Should find its fruitage in a grim And poison-laden thorn; While every purpose to uplift Your soul from sordid ways Should burst into a snow-wnite drift Of tender lily sprays.

"Dan," said mother, "will you please run over to Mr. Willis and see if you can buy six quarts of strawberries." Dan was more than willing. Mr. Willis lived about a quarter of a mile away, and had almost a farm right there in the city. It was several city lots upon which he raised the most delicious garden things, and cold them to a few favored custom ers. Dan lived in a flat that had no garden at all, for the tiny yard was planted with grass, and no one was allowed to dig it. Mr. Willis had plenty of straw berries to sell, he assured Dan, and he set out to pick them. Dan went with him into the garden, and he was very much pleased to be allowed tc help, especially as Mr. Willis said that pickers might eat what they want ed. The boxes were soon filled with big red berries, and the fun was over. "Oh, dear, I wish I had a straw berry bed!" sighed Dan. "Do you?" said Mr. Willis kindly. "Well, now it's too bad you have to live in that tucked-up place. But say, you could have a strawberry bed next year right where you are." "In the flat!" cried Dan incredu lously.. "Sure, in a flat. I had one once," said Mr. .Willis. "Do you want to do it?" "Yes, I do," said Dan. "If you're sure it won't take too much room." , "It will take just enough room for a barrel to stand." "Oh, that could be on the flagging back of the house," said Dan. "All right. I'll tell you what to do, though you needn't make your garden until September. You run home now with those berries for mother, and come back some time when you can stay a whole morn ing." Dan went home, but the very next morning he was back. "Now," said Mr. Willis, "I'll tell you about it first, and afterward you can help me and earn what you will need. There's the barrel. You can roll it home this morning if you want to. Then sometimes when I am passing your house I'll bring along boxes of good earth in the wagon, and ycru can put the earth in the barrel. Gather up some sweepings from the pavement in front of your house to mix with it. Then when your barrel is full of rich soil you will have to bore holes about an inch in diameter, and about four inches apart all over the sides of the bar rel. In September you can plant strawberry plants in the holes. And we'll arrange it so that the plants will give you a crop next June. That's what you can help me about if you want to, and I'll give you enough plants." "Oh, I do," cried Dan, fairly pranc ing in his eagerness to begin. "Come out to the strawberry bed then," said Mr. Willis. Out in the garden Mr. Willis show ed him the strawberry runners reach ing out, with little new plants on the end of them. Mr. Willis wanted a number of these tiny plants placed in small pots so that they might make a good growth through the summer, and be ready to transplant in the fall. He showed Dan how to fill the pots with earth and plant the young strawberries without separating them from the parent plant. So Dan help ed him all the" morning. When the J ' ' . :. , . plants were potted he went home very happy. It did Beem pretty long to Septem ber, and then again to next straw berry time. But It came as ail good times do. In September Dan had his barrel quite ready, and then he went to Mr. Willis. The little plants which had been growing In their pots out In the garden all summer were now separated frem the old plants. Mr. Willis planted his in long rows in the garden, but Dan put his in baskets and carried them home. Then he transplanted them carefully into the holes in the barrel, and watered them well by pouring the water In the top. They never drooped at all, but went on growing as bravely as If they were back in the garden. The next spring the plants all start ed out again. Then came the white blossoms, and soon after the red ber ries. There were not many berries that year, but there were enough to make it interesting to Dan. But you should have seen the barrel the sec ond year. Then Dan could go out and gather berries for the whole family for breakfast. Since that Dan has never been without a barrel strawberry bed. There are some ad vantages about it, too. He never loses a crop by frost or drouth. He can cover the barrel on cold nights, and pour water in the top when It is dry. There are no weeds to pick, for the holes in the barrel allow only the strawberries to grow. Try one yourself, boys. It is an interesting garden even if you have plenty of room. Almost any straw berry grower will give you the plants for the asking, if you wish to start such a bed. Zelia Margaret Walters. THERE'S ANOTHER SDDE. "There's another side!" said the minister's wife softly. "How do you know?" asked the visitor who had told the discreditable little, strictly in confidence, as she had herself learned it in the bosom of the Wednesday afternoon sewing circle. The minister's wife had not been present, and it was only right that she should be put right about this family of new-comers in the par ish. "Some things had come to the ears of the sewing circle that were not well not exactly " "There's another side!" repeated the minister's wife, not so softly this time. In fact, there was a notice able little ring of indignation in her tone, which died out in a sort of wondering pity as she noticed the challenging look of her caller. "You're glad there is another side, aren't you? Why, of course you are! And, you see, I know all about it!" "You weren't at the meeting!" said the other stiffly. "If you had been, you " "No, I was there at the house. And I saw oh, Mrs. Babkit, if yeu could have seen what I saw!" "I saw, too with my own eyes! That daughter of theirs is an opi um " "She isn't their daughter not any relation; not even a friend or a friend's daughter, just a poor girl who had been sick so long and so terribly that the doctors themselves had made her a victim of the opium habit. And they have undertaken to try to cure her. They have given up their home their very lives to it. They don't say a word about it. I just found it out with the help of the doctor." The visitor rose suddenly almost unceremoniously. For a moment the hostess looked troubled and aghast. Had she spoken sharply, discourte ously even? .Her mind fled back over the interview as she faltered: "You are not going yet? You oh, you aren't offended at anything I've said?" "Yes, I'm going. Offended I? I'm going round to see all our la dies, every single one of them!" "And tell them " The minister's wife held her breath for the answer. One may be very bold, but it sometimes means a great deal to offend "the ladies." "And tell them," said the caller, gathering her wraps about her, "that beautiful 'other side! " "Oh!" breathed the minister's wife gratefully. "And tell them, won't you? that there is always an other side always always! And it is our Christian business to try and find it." Zion's Herald. ALL THE WAY ROUND. "She's my seventh in three months," young Mrs. Crosby an nounced. Her face was worried, but her tone self-satisfied. "Of course, it's hard, but some things I will have, if I get worn to a bone training new help. As for cooking-dishes, I do this. While my maid Is out on Thurs day, I ransack her pantry and pull out every kettle and pan that has been put away in bad condition, and when she comes in at night she finds them stacked all over the kitchen ta ble and sink." - "Oh!" exclaimed Mrs. Robinson, whose model housekeeping is ac knowledged by even her dearest friends. Then the bent to her em broidery. The word had slipped out unaware. "Don't you think It terres her right?" Mrs. Robinson hesitated. "Ttey come home so tired," she answered, as If apologizing for her own soft heartedneas. "They have to crowd so much into their one free day. To tell the truth, I always contrive a lit tle surprise for Thursday night. I've done it with every maid I've had for years. Perhaps she finds a conveni ent bit of tinware that she's been needing, or new dish towels on the rack something improved, you know. And if I have any flowers at all in the house, 1 put at least one blossom in the kitchen to welcome her home." Of all sentimental! Do you mean to say you'd do that and leave a half washed frying-pan out of sight in the pantry?" "No no. I'm afraid I'd wash It and make it as shiny as I possibly could. I kellsve more in models than critics, myself. And there's always the question whether we may not have given a maid so many other things to do that scouring-time has been crowded out. It's hard to see all the way round a thing with one giance, don't you think? We have to take a peep from both sides." "H'm!" said Mrs . Crosby, doubt fully. "It sounds to me as if you'd spoil a servant in no time, but if I thought 'twould work " "Hilda is certainly a treasure." Mrs. Robinson filled in the pause. "I expect her to stay with me till she marries. My last two have. She's my third in seven years." Unidentified. THE CRICKET AND THE LION. One day the lion was out walking in the woods. As he was stepping near an old rotten log, he heard a tiny voice say: "Oh, please don't step there. That's my house, and with one step more you will destroy It." The lion loked down, and saw a little cricket sitting on a log. He roared: "And' it is you, weak little creature, that dares tell me where to step? Don't you know I am the king of beasts?" "You may be the king of beasts, but I am the king of my house; and I don't want you to break it down, king or no king. The lion was amazed at such dar ing. "Don't you know, you little weak ling, that I could smash you and your little house and all your relatives with one blow of my paw?" "I may be weak, but I have a cousin no bigger than I who can mas ter you in a fight. "Oho! O, O!" laughed the lion. "Well, little boaster, you have that cousin here tomorrow, and if he does not master me I'll crush you and your house and your cousin all to gether." The next day the lion came back to the same spot, and roared: "Now, boaster, bring on your valiant cousin!" Pretty soon he heard a buzzing near his ear. Then he felt a sting ing. "O! O!" he cried. "Get out of ray ear!" But tke cricket's cousin, the mos quito, kept on singing and stinging. With every sting t he lion roared louder, and scratched his ear and jumped around. But the mosquito kept on singing and stinging. The cricket sat on the leg and looked on. At last he said: "Mr. Lion, are you satisfied to leave my house alone?" "Yes, anything! anything!" .roar ed the lion, "if you will only get your cousin out of my ear!" So the cricket called the mosquito off, and then the lion went away, and never bothered them any more. Good Housekeeping. Fortunes in Faces. There's often much truth in the saying "her face is her fortune," but it's never said where pimples, skin eruptions, blotches, or other blem ishes disfigure it. Impure blood is back of them all, and shows the need of Dr. King's New Life Pills. Try them. 25 cents at all druggists. SPECIAL TRAIN VIA SOUTHERN RAILWAY From Raleigh, N.
