The dog prov- ed an apt. pupil and soon was doini .'arious tricks besides Parnlfll! hi5 KGGP by doing chores for his mas- ‘er. so: Prince first broke into print when he learned to visit the local, post-office each morning and bring,‘ iome the family mail. As a cattle dog he would put most of the shop- herd breed to shame; but tho thing that earned him his vise to fame was sleuthing for escaped foxes. The. number of foxes Prince captured is not on record, but cer- tainly the total was large. When foxhounds failed to run down their prey, as often happened. Smith would be summoned and Prince entered the case, This high-' ly intelligent animal would over- take his enemy and then by a clo- ver twist of his paws throw him rompletcly off his feet. By this time, the cunning fox knew he had met defeat, and all Prince had to, do was stand over his prcy till.’ somebody in the posse came along and recaptured the escaped prison? er. 000 \\'hen Prince rlierl Smith purchas- ntl a fine shepherd pup from our! deputy Minister of Agriculture. \\'.

Last spring a strange cat took n fancy to the Smith brand of chic-j liens. Sparky spotted the thief, "and, one morning before the family arose, seized the cat and broke- its‘ spine in his powerful jaws just as ‘the feline was in the act of snatch- ing another chick. Sparky is a stay-al-home anlmah. an unusual trait in dogs.

Gordon Macmillan I have been requested to tell you something of the arranging and placing of plants ln a. border. We will suppose that you have chosen a well drained spot with a nice background of trees or shrubs or perhaps a fence or wall cover- ed with vines. Of course we must have sun a good part of each day and the size nt this border will be determined by the time you have to spend on it, and it can always be enlarged. The width is quite important as you need many plants to fill in as others fade, and perennials as a rule bloom for a very short season. Annuals will help, planted near ; the front of the border and bulbs will also prolong the garden season. Good design in the gardcn is good taste in your plant material and thc arrangement of lt. U I lt is necessary tn have some knowledge of the habits and form of your plants and this comes from ' experience and a good gardener is always learning. There arc many splendid books on all phases of gardening in our ivoiidcrful library and I have learned much from them. Also send for the bulletins from the Division of Horticulture, Ottawa. Those are iron and they cover a wide range of subjects. The taller plants in the border shouldhe at the hack of the other low growing plants but not in a straight. line, bring tltoni forward here and there, thou the time of blooming cnters into the picture. When a plant ls through and is cut back to keep your bokler looking well at all times, you may have a trllcr variety in front of a later blooming low growing plant. a - s the spire-like blooms Lupine, There are of the Foxglove, hock, 'l'halic'trum and Lilies and Delphinium.

She says I don't know enough about married life to en- ter into it. However, we think we can make a success of it after we are happily married. My boy friend's mother ls dead and he‘ needs someone to lovr him. Should we go on with our plans, or listen to my » '1 mother. D-R‘ ANSWER: Liston to your mother, for she is trying to save you from committing a folly that in all likeli- hood will wreck your wliole lifc. No girl at your ten- der age. is fil for marriage. You don't know what you are going to be yourself when you are a grown woman, nor whabkind of a husband you will want, nor how to handle any one of lhe‘n'ulli0n problems that a wife confronts every day. Child-marriages are simply defying Fate and it. is no wonder that so many of them end 1n the divorce court. For it takes more stability of character, more knowledge of life, more patience and forbearance than any youngsters have to make a success of living together. CHILD'S VIEW You are thinking about marriage from the point of view of a little girl playing house-all good times and lollipops, and having a swanky wedding and getting presents and going off on a wedding tour. But marriage isn't. like that for a teen-ager. It is work and worry. Hm’! MV- ing to slay at home when your feet ache to dance, and having babies, and wrestling with grocery bills and cook stoves and crying over what your husband says about your cooking. Believe me, daughter, there ls nothing that is more sure to end ln disaster than for two children to get married before they are fitted for lt. Marriage is for grownups, not for kids. DEAR MISS DIX: I was engaged to a widower for two years and everything seemed rosy until he told me that he expected me to continue to work after we got married so that I could buy all of my own clothes and put money in a joint bank account. He said that I made more money than he did and that we should spend mlmi and let him save his. He also told me that he would expect me to help his daughter with her housework, ns she had a baby and lt was too much work for her to take care of lt alone. He ivaulcd me to work, come home and do all the housework, help his daughter, buy my own clothes and pay board. He never took me out but once a week and then it. was tn n cheap show, and the most he ever bought me was a 5 cent bar of candy and he split lt between his daughter and hie. He said it cost money to take a girl out. Sn I gave him the air. l would rather he an old maid the balance - of my life than to he with a misor who ivoulrl count every cent I spent, and who expected mc to be a domestic slave. CATHERINE. ANSWER: iRlght you are, Catherine. That kind of a man only marries a woman to get a household drudge and he begrudge: her even the food she eats. Unfortunately, nowadays there are many slave-driving husbands who do not only force their wives to work outside of the home, but ln it, and who take from them every cent that they earn. And why any wife stands for such treatment ls a mystery no sang pergon cnn golvm DEAR MISS DIX: I have a problem which I would like you to help me solve.

Even grand-daughter spoke of lt, when she quickly shrugged off her coat to remain with us to dinner. “This la one dreary day!" she commented in a mature way which set her grand-father and me to smiling. It was indeed. Not that we minded the cold winds and dampness that obtained beneath clwded skies, for a farmer's Wife can usually find a chore or an interest in keeping with any weather but our thoughts were with those who had been per- haps confined to school by day, or office or store to whom ln a long anticipation “the 24th" had meant so much. c 0 e This was their first holiday, and now the weatherman had been chary of his wares. But neither fair nor cool breeze sweeping in with tangy breath from the sea or river, or to us down from the hill- tops or along fields, could lessen the significance of the day. Year by year as we see it, it seems to receive an added respect to the memory of one now only a legend or lines in a history to some and yet even there, though touched by drab pens, exceedingly winsomc and wise. I I I “This is a holiday at home" wc recall having commented casually on our outing which had taken us this time of year to the States last Spring, when notwithstanding the kindnesses received and the rare delight of the place we visited we found ourself a bit lonely for the sound of the water through a WGSIE-Kflll! on the dam and Ford's bark, hailing the appearance of an enrly angler at hilltop. "Oh, _ves", the American replied kindly, “I've heard of it, but for the moment I've forgotten its meaning, Was there a Queen - - - one time?" "Yes," we replied, "there was a queen!" I I I The tulips pleased only to open wide to let the sun look into their hearts remained tightly closed to- day, and we fancied that in the coolness and damp the lambs com- plained with pathetic hleats as at times they came running to cuddle in closely beside their mothers at pasture in the meadow by pond- side. “And will they bite?" one of a pair of agile, feminine, city ang- lers, nice girls. came up the short- cut to ask us about the lawn at the time. “Nn. ewes won't bite," we replied, thinking that Jamie or grand-daughter would have chuck- led over the question. "Well, what will they do?" they followed the subject, watching them gather about a salt-lick that Jock had been careful to supply. "Ewes won't harm you", we pointed out, "but if there happened to be n ram ln the flock then he - - -" "Might bite?" one supplied. I O I “No," we laughed, many a try- ing encounter and escape returning to mind, "he wouldn't blte—-but he might bunt you!" we said, "And would that hurt?“ one asked with much interest. "It would be wiser not to let things develop so far." we explained, "but if he was threat- enlng-well, you have to lie down and very flat, for ln that position he can't hurt you, until someone comes to your rescue-or he moves away." "And that wouldn't be too funny, would it?" she laughed, and added, "well, may we catch one of those dear little lambs to pet it?“ This led them a spirited chase which as we had expected was with- out success. The same ewes and lambs that became so disturbed at the friendly advances of strangers. come at a call to our farmers and knowing well their voices are con- tent to follow wherever they lead. I I I There were periods the farmers were engaged ln spreading manure, an endeavor which James observes "\von't be done ln a day or two!" Now ln his old armchair, he chats with Jock at the end of their day-Jock has a lantern by chair-side. "We must be fairly slow this Spring", James off- ers. "I mind many a 24th when we had our seeding pretty well done-and not n pickle sown so fir!" We think sometimes thlt James is akln to that warrior who ln advanced years, returning in mind to the scenes of the past to "shoulder a crutch and show how fields were won!" - - - Now our holiday speeds to its close, a day which gave us much work for our hands and yet left us time to remember that even In our day, llv- ed a small lady, a great Queen. known to the endl of her Empire and beyond as Victoria-The Good.
