> MR. USHER GOES ON STRIKE e r No Vegetable Garden for Him Thio Year If He Know* Him***. and s He Think* He Doe*. j “A seed catalogue arrived in thf* morning's mall," remarked Mr* Diher | to ber husband. "We might plan out; our eprtng garden while these long winter evening* last." "We will start the Are with the | 1 seed catalogue In the morning," re- ; turned Usher "There will be no gar den tbi* year. It 1* all we can do to buy vegetables without buying seed*. I Last year we bought sl6 wqrth of seed*. sl2 worth of tools and about ' nine dollars' worth of digging. » And we bad to buy our vegetables I Just the same. "This year we »ball do away with the seed, the machinery and tbe hired man and bare more vegetables "Darn It! Last spring after tbe man I had dug nine dollar* out of me, and -1 the hardware man had tooled me out I ' of sl2, and tbe seed man had seeded ! me to the tune of $lO. I went out one I balmy Saturday afternoon to look at I my garden There was nothing to be ’ I seen there except one beet and a few ( million weeds I "While engaged in killing the mil. < lions of weeds I exterminated the beet 1 crop with one fell swoop of my trusty | ' but inaccurate hoe'" ■ But the vegetables are bo sweet t i and fresh out of your own garden"' | pleaded Mr*. Usher. | , "Oh. yes, they are gweet and fresh,' I all right,” bleated her husband. "We | had a tomato bush last spring. We bad the bush while tbe stores bad the tomatoes We didn't buy any tom a- I toes We had our own and they would I soon be ripe. j "Hucksters brought tomatoes to our ! door, and the neighbors bought toma- j toes piled up so high that they spilled | on rbf sidewalk ’ “I went out and looked at our bush I We had two little green tomatoes that ’ looked like peas. When tomatoes were ' I a nickel a peck one of those tomatoes | sickened and died, and the other got I nearly ripe on one side. "When Aunt Eudora brought us five ■ 1 bushels of tomatoes f, vm her fa r m ■ our tomato bush took a sudden start j I and shed tomatoes in abundance as I long as Aunt Eudora's tomatoes lasted. ’ I "That's the way it is with our gar- ] den The digging around is all the j fun we get out of it. "Anybody who thinks that digging I is fun has a keener sense of humor ] than I have.” The Broken •‘Conspiracy.” The "conspiracy of silence" is bro | ken. Os that no one can doubt. The phrase may be suffered to lapse into oblivion. In its day It was a menace. I and few of ns would now advocate the I deliberate ignoring of things not to be ! denied. Few of us would care to see • the rising generation as uninstructed In natural laws as we were, as adrift « amid the unintelligible, or partly Intelligible things of life. But surely I the breaking of silence need not imply j the opening of the flood-gates of speech. It was never meant by those 1 who first cautiously advised a clearer i understanding of sexual relations and - hygienic rules that everybody should: chatter freely respecting these grave | issues: that teachers, lecturers, novelists, story writers, militants, dramattists, social workers and magazine ed- ' ftors should copiously impart all they i know, or assume they know, to the world, writes Agnes Reppier in the | Atlantic. The lack of restraint the j lack of balance, tbe lack at sober-1 ness and common sense, were never I more apparent than in the obsession , of sex which has set us all a-babbling about matters once excluded from: the amenities of conversation, ——————— Selected Bit*. The late Henry Townsend Martin was one day describing to a New York I reporter his adventures in the London slums. “Slum butcher shops," he said, "are very interesting, especially on a Saturday night, when the Sunday is being bought "Once in 'The New Cut’ I stopped before a dreadful looking stall of meat There was a platter of particulariy vile stuff called selected bits.* These selected bits the butcher was offering to an old lady for threepence, but she insisted that this was too high. “ 'Take 'em for tuppence, then,' said the butcher. 'Best selected bits, a platterful for tuppence. You can't do bet ter nor that.' “ 'I don't know.' said the old lady. 'lt seems rather high.' "'Will ye give a penny tor emf "Still the old lady hesitated. “ 'Here,* said the butcher, 'here, hang it, ma am, I’ll turn my back while you pinch 'em.’ ’’ Career of “Pig-Iron" Kelley." William D. Kelley, one of tbe found era of the Republican party in Penn sylvanla. and for many year* a conspicuous figure in the public life of the nation, was born tn Philadelphia 100 years ago. He started life in humble circumstances. Through his own exertion he obtained an education in the. law and began the practise of that profession in his native dty. In 1856 he left the Democratic party and helped to organize the Republican party in Pennsylvania. He served in ■ congress from 1861 until his death in 1890, his continuous service making him the "Father of the House" tor several sessions. He was a radical protectionist, and his anxiety tor the pro- ' tection of the iron interests of Penn- ' sylvania gave him the familiar name. ■ "Pig-Iron Kelies." I
