The Alrfarin' Pirates Tale.
' I us'ter fly in a pirut ship," says the alrfarin'
tar, says he;
' She was manned by the bloodiest alrynauts
that ever man did see;
She'd six wings on her starboard side, If I
rightly recolleck, .
And I was the cap'n of the craft, and I walked
the parachute deck.
"We boarded a ship a mile above the top of
old Pike's peak
'Twere a Chinese crew, and they walked the
plank too bloody scared to squeak;
We found six million taels aboard, and I cached
'em then and there '
In the midst of a big black cloud that bung like
an Island in the air.
" The very next week our pirut ship hit the
' Flatiron Building shoal,
And grabbln' a parachute saved me but I was
the only soul;
Sence then I've been a driftln' round a-hopln'
to strike that cloud,
Where I hid the gold in the strenuous dsys of
the airship pirut crowd.
But the cloud ain't near Pike's Peak no more,
but it's driftln' round the earth.
And It's leadin' me a merry chase, and I'm los-
in' weight and girth;
So take the advice of an airship tar when oil
on a freebootin' flight
Don't hide yer gold upon a cloud unless it Is
anchored tight." ;

Middle -Ag-e.
O, father, what is middle age? " asked little
Richard Roe ;:
" I've asked at least a dozen men, but no one
seems to know; -I've
seen it printed many times, but never have
I met
A person who acknowledged he or she had
reached it yet." t
" I'll tell you what it Is, my son," young Rich
ard's pa replied;
" It is the age at which a man of 50 turns aside
To give his friends to understand that he is just
as keen
And gladly boyish as he was when he was
seventeen. - -
41 It aUo is the age at which a man of sixty-five
Pretends that he expects that he will presently
arrive
The age the man of eighty thinks he reached but
yesterday
The age at which a woman throws her powder
pun away-"

PINEHURST'S HOME GARDENS
Continued from Page 6)
Plymouth Cherokee roses, Photon
ias, cotton lavender are all worthy of
note here.
Persimmon Indian currant and fine
specimens of the red bud give distinction
here.
Radcliff Near this are fine Bootam
pines, a good memorial rose border and
plants of the deciduous Dentzia.
Sycamore There is not a sycamore
in sight, but a good red bay, dogwood,
and a dwarf Scotch broom are near the
piazza.
Tremont Persimmon trees, winter
Jasmine, and a willow give this lot its
distinction.
Waldheim Cherokee roses and a line
of tall white cedars between this cottage
and the General Office distinguish this
cottage.
Walnut The Scotch broom and the
native dwarf cane are most noticeable
here.
Mr. and Mrs. Tufts Even a large
house on a small lot and near the side
walk line can be given much privacy by
the judicious use of such narrow grow
ing trees as - cedars. An attractive
white flowered Indian Azalea is here and
very good magnolias. In the roadside
shrubbery is the native yellow jasmine
in abundance.
Mr. and Mrs. McMillan The be
ginning of a garden plan is represented
by the line of shrubs that sit back from
the sidewalk in which are choice varieties
of old camelias that came from the Mass
achusetts Asricultural College con
servatory. '
MRS. Peet On this place is the finest
group of yellow stemmed bamboos, sev
eral fine plants of the small leaved holly
(Ilex crenata) ; the large leaved privet,
the climbing Eleagnus of which the
other plant is on The Carolina, the Chi
nese Abelia, the golden bell, Thomberg's
spiraca-wistaris, and a very vigorous
native hickory tree is on the lawn.
Mr. and Mrs. Spring The ground
cover of ivy and small leaved myrtle
or periwinkle about the building will so
develop as to give this place distinction
as well as the formal shrub ramble in
the grounds.
Mr.and Mrs. George F. Blake Two
pyramid Chinese arbor vitaeas guard the
entrance walk, and in the roadside shrub
bery is a vigorous sweet chestnut tree. .
Mr. and Mrs. VV. L. Hurd This has
been recently replanted with the char
acteristic shrubs of the Village, making
it most attractive.
Mr. Frederick and Miss Bruce At
The Oak is the only well ordered garden
in Pinehurst. While almost every home
ground has some special plant or other
feature to give it distinction, only here
has there been the interest and courage
to break away from a treatment of home
grounds that was coming to be the con
ventional thing, and furthermore to do
this in such a way as to secure the de
sired seclusion of such an out of door
compartment of the house, and at the
same time permit the passers-by to enjoy
a passing glimpse into the garden.
Many I am sure will follow, in the
footsteps of Mr. and Miss Bruce and the
New Pinehurst will be distinguished by
simple and distinctive formal gardens
as well as its informal plantations.

Advanced Civilization.
Primitive settlements of the man at
tached themselves to their fields and
shelter and gradually learn to believe
their particular location the only cor
rect one, latitudinally and longitudi
nally. The Esquimaux transplanted in re
cent years in New York City, pined for
the cold and blubber of the ice pack and
wonder that any man could exist in
happiness away from them ! It's only
in recent years that gregarious man has
learned to wander to travel and find
out better envirbnment than the place of
his birth, and thus the bohemianism of
the winter, spring and summer resorts
of the United States.
On a forty below zero day in Maine,
one often hears it remarked "this is good
for us !" Like bears in their dens they
find a special zest and repose by their
firesides which the contrast outside ac
centuates. The home thus becomes the
focus and indoor life the rule.
Advanced civilization has demon
strated the necessity of life in the open
which spells exercise and in spite of
man's attachment to the soil he has be
come nomadic, and has doubtless added
correspondingly to his longevity there
by. There is a bond between men from
the same town or state when they meet
in other lands, which is often not felt at
home. Thus the sojourner learns to
miss but little, of what he most values at
home the kind neighbor and the faith
ful friends,' and yet finds his provincialism
fading and his horizon broadening as he,
the oftener leaves his nest.
The Grecian philospher replied to the
man who informed him that he had
never left his own village, that when he
reached Heaven and was asked about
the beautiful world he had lived in, that
he might feel ashamed to inform them
that he had never seen any of it, except
the town of his birth.
It is the broadening horizon that gives
perspective and gets men out of the ruts
of environment. Success to those who
by initiative and enterprise are making
home and life attractive for their fellow
men away from home! Ice and snow
and cold and zero weather may be good
for some, but Pinehurst offers climat
ically what is better for the many.
As civilization advances further, man
will increasingly follow the wisdom of
the birds and fly north and fly south
as instinct naturally dictates.
Lincoln C. Cummings.
- Too many Questions.
The fallacy of asking too miny ques
tions is generally followed by much
embarrassment.
A guest stopping at a hotel came out
and took his. hat from the hands of the
hat keeper, asking :
"How do you know that is my hat?"
"I don't know it, suh" said the boy.
"Then why do you give it to me?" he
insisted. "Because," replied the boy,
" you gave it to me !"
