y ¥ A Picturesque Corner Can Be Cafved Out in One’s Garden by a Careful Study of This Plan. ART IN GARDEN MAKING By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN. One m take the most expensive garden decoration that money can buy, as is shown in the picture which ac- companies this little story, and get from it an idea that does not have to depend upon the purse for its develop- ment. In the picture ts shown one of the prettiest bits of decorative garden art in,America. Aside from the bit of statuary in the center, nature and small expense supplied the rest of the setting. Note the grouping of the bulb plants In the foreground and the con- summate art with which the gardener worked in the background. It will be seen that he has worked in masses in both directions. He has made his effect-in the curved row of bulb plants merely by massing; the prefuse background has been grouped much as a florist or a country boy pre- paring a bouquet for his sweetheart from the wild flowers of the wood, would assemble cut flowers to get a loose and graceful arrangement. There 1s an absolute lack of appearance of studied effect. But the study is there just ¢he same. It is given to the task of getting away from the stiff arrange- ment indicated by the Mother Goose jingle: How does your garden grow? With fairy bells and cockle shella, And pretty maids all in a row. Reel art is always the nearest pos- sible approach to nature. Nobody ever Ww nature set out a lot of plants in lar form, The gardener who de- ned this garden worked to have his massing background take as nearly as possible the direction that nature would give them, One may substitute a very modest center decoration for the statuary and sul keep intact the design. I am glad to be able to give this wonderful de- sign by so famous an artist for the u of the many readers who constantly try to make a gardén something more than a mere place to plant things. ODD BITS OF FURNITURE The big shops are showing more than ever odd pleces of furniture for gift purposes. More and more people ure coming to appreciate the value of the occasional furniture, It finds ex- pression this winter in pottery vases, single chairs, stands for flowers, candle sticks, handy tables, fireside steols In walnut and oak, and in drop- leaf tables that can be made to do duty for all manner of purposes. In- 4ividual bits of erystal are aiso mvch j sought, in many cases the selection be ing made from such stock as will per mit other pieces to be added fron time to time as the occasion may are. DO AWAY WITH ROSE PESTS To do away with rose pests mix by rapid stirring a tablespoonful of coal- oll with a pint of very hot, strong soap suds, and when well mixed add this to enough hot suds to make a gal- lon. Mix a pint of unslakef lime with a quart of water and when settled pour he clear lime water into the coal- oll emulsion, adding to this a tea- spoonful of paris green, stirring it all rapidly and thoroughly. Keep this mixture well stirred when using and spray or syringe the leaves, under the upper side with plenty of the mixture. It will be good for the bush, if not healthy for the bugs and slugs. FOR AN ATTRACTIVE HALL One of the most striking halls that have been designed recently shows a background of natural wood. In the instance in question the wood is gum. When treated with stain and wax it takes on an antique, dusty, brown tone that makes it a perfect background for decorative purposes. An antique rug, in low tones, with a like design for the stair carpet, gives a rich appear- ance. The hangings are deep mul- berry-colored velvet, trimmed with galloons of dull gold. Dark walnut furniture is used. 3 HOW TO TREAT AMARYLLIS As soon as amaryllis bulbs come from the dealers they should be placed in damp moss and kept near a window in a temperature of about 60 degrees. They should be watched with care un- til growth starts, then they should be potted, using six-inch pots for the av- erage bulbs. A turfy loam, enriched with some well-rotted manure, makes the best soil to be used. To this there ought to be added some sand for the purpose of insuring drainage and to prevent the backing of the soil. The major portion of the bulb onght to be above the top of the soil. After the bulbs have been first pot- ted they should be given a little water —merely enough to prevent the soll | from drying out. The pots should be placed in a sunny room, near a win- dow. As the plant progresses, the sup- ply of water should be increased. THE CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE Walter Scott’s Tale Ten Minute Classics Famous Tales and Legends Told in Brief Form . i. MULLER : { Copyright by J W. Muller of War in Lorraine The chain of French forts from } pearance, he was outlaw and doomed Verdun, now being so fiercely fought | death without hearing, for, to Nancy, which form one com- bined system of defense for French Lorraine, lie in a region famous in history and legend. None is more thrilling than jhe capture of Nancy by the Swiss. This episode and the destruction of the Burgundian army are-a fine part of Sir Walter Scott's “Anne of Geierstein.” Charles the Bold, ruler of Burgundy and Flanders, duke of seven dukedoms, count of seventeen earldoms, was at the summit of his eminence In his grip he crushed the estgtes of Bur- gundy and Flanders, He was invyad- ing Lorraine and already had added to his titles that of duke of Lorraine. He menaced great Louls of France and boasted openly that he would nail the hide of the old fox to a stable door. He was bargaining with Margaret of Anjou for the lovely kingdom of Pro- vence, ruled by her mild old father, Good King Rene, in exchange for which he promised to make war in England on the house of York and ré- establish Margaret's house of Lancas- ter. And with all these affairs on his hands he turned lightly, as to an ex- cursion, to make war on the Swiss, In vain did the duke of Oxford, who was In his camp as Marguret's envoy, advise him that these rough moun- taineers were bears who might well ruin all his greater plans. He roared with fury at the intimation that his chivalry of Burgundy, his mailclad mercenaries from all Europe, and his new and wonderful fire-spitting can- non might fail to annibilate the Swiss, who. fought on foot with arrows and mammoth, clumsy, two-handed swords, He sald to the Swiss deputation that had come to beg for peace: “A deputation of your most notable persons who shall meet me on your Trontlers with halters around their necks and their swords held by the points, may learn from me on what conditions we will grant peace.” “Then farewell, peace, and welcome war,” said the undaunted Swiss dele- gates. “We will meet you on our fron- tiers with our naked swords, but the Hilts, not the points, shall be in ouf grasp. Charles of Burgundy, we bid you defiance, and declare war against you in the name of the Confederated Cantons!” Margaret’s nephew, Ferrand de Vaudemont, whose heritage was the dukedom of Lorraine, joined with the Swiss. Charles laughed’when he heard it, “On to Neuchatel!” he said. “We will teach these beggarly peasants a lesson!" i At Granson, near the great lake of Neuchatel, the beggarly peasants caught Burgundy’s army in a narrow pass and so fell on it from all sides that by nightfall the shining host was {n mortifying flight. The check merely infuriated Charles. Before midsummer of the next year he had ready a new army of at least sixty thousand men with one hundred and fifty pleces of cannon. They entered the land of the Swiss, who had called on the Free Cities of the Rhine to help them. At Morat, near Berne, the Bur- gundian cannon battered the walls around Swiss ears; but the artillery, novel though it was, failed to terrify them. It plowed great gaps among them, but before it could fire again the survivors rushed in with’ those clumsy five-foot swords and hewed maticlad men down as if they were buplings. Charles himself had to ride for his life with the steer-horns of Uri, which the Swiss blew as war trumpets, braying behind him as he fled. ven he was stunned for a time; but when word came to him that Fer- rand and the Swiss had dared to leave their mountain fastnesses and “had overrun Lorraine, taking the city of Nancy, he roused himself and laughed again, gleefully. “They have trapped themselves!” he cried. “I swear that I shall destroy them utterly before twe weeks have passed. Three days before Christmas his army sat down before Nancy in a strong position. That night there was a great commotion in the duke’s tent. When his officers rushed in, they saw him standing undressed, with his sword in his hand. He roared that strangers had been by his bedside. The bodyguard was incredulous, for there were many there who could swear that they had not closed their eyes. But he pointed to a table. Pinned toit with a dagger was a parch- ment signed with three crosses, Ev- eryone presep* recognized at once what it was, and even in that armed camp many of them trembled; for the parchment was a,summons from the dreaded Vehm-Gericht, the mysterious, mighty secret tribunal of Germany, whose secret, unknown and powerful judges exercised a Jurisdiction that awed even emperors. ‘The summons «Jed on Charles to appear at a given place and time un- attended and deliver himself to the officers of the tribunal, who would lead birc to the place of trial. Failing ap- “I know from what quiver this ar- row comes!” said Charles, his lips white with rege. “It is shot by that degenerate noble, Albert of Gelerstein, I St. George of Burgundy! Nothing 1 save him after such an insult as this! I will hang him to the highest steeple in Nancy and his daughter shall choose the meanest herdboy in my army for husband Little more than a week later, on the Ist of January, 1477, in a bitter dawn of ice and &now, there came a sound like the roar of an avalanche. The officers rushed to their posts and were cut down by men who appeared he: there, ev The artil- lerists manned their guns, and found that they had been spiked. The Swiss poured through, A red glare broke out and lit up the scene. The Qargun dian camp had been fired at four ends When day broke the duke of Oxford found the body ‘of Charles, duke of Burgundy, lying mired by a waterhole, and near him, in the disguise of a Bur- gundian man-atarms, lay the body of Count Albert of Geierstein, the avenger of the Vehm-Gericht, “Anne of Geierstein” has for its hero and heroine the son of the ex- tled duke of Oxford, the loyal Lan- castrian, and Anne, daughter of the strange and eccentric count of Gei- erstein (Vulture’s Rock), a castle in the *Swiss Alps. The novel is not one of Scott's great ones, but it is worthy and sound; and it possesses a sentimental interest to his admir- ers because it represents what may truly be called the sunset of his genius. He had his first paralytic seizure in the year following its publication. EYES OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE Backward Student Rapidly Makes Up Lost Ground When Astigmat- ism Is Corrected. The oldest boy in the class had been called upon to read and had pro- duced humiliation on the part of his teacher, who was entertaining a vis- itor. The boy bent over his book, studying out the words one by one. Smaller children read the lesson off quickly, . ‘Thoroughly despairing of Tom, for that was the dull boy's name, the teacher addressed the visitor: “What would you do with a hopeless pupll lke that?” “Have his eyes examined,” the an- swer came quickly. “Why, I never had thought of that,” gasped.the teacher, and then with the thought came various recollections of Tom as he sat in his seat crouched down over his book and her sharp ad- monition to sit up straight; of his ut- ter failure to copy problems or sen- tences written on the board; of his in- ability to learn, which came not from lack of trying, but from what she had termed “dumbness.” The teacher visited Tom’s father and mother, After considerable per- suasion they consented to take the boy to an oculist. Tom was found to be suffering from astigmatism, which caused the words on a printed page to double and dance before his eyes. A pair of glasses corrected the*difficulty, and Tom returned to school able to see a8 well as any normal boy. He is still handicapped by being two years behind his grade, by a painful Iack of self-confidence and by a reputation of dullness, However, all of thése handl- caps are being rapidly overcome. A child who needs giasses needs them at once and not several years later. To wait until he has grown older on the plea that he will break his glasses or outgrow them is tg do him an irreparable injury. Priestly Humor. The guests at the silver jubilee of Rev. James Lynch of. St. Martin of Tours parish, Brooklyn, learned, in a very simple way, of the secret of his great success amongst his people. Here is his speech, which, for cold and un- romantie truth-telling, has never been surpassed: “Dear brethren: At my silver Jubilee I was anxious that you should ‘make a fuss over me.’ You have actually made a fuss over me. I am grateful. When the memory of the glit- ter and glamour of this day shall have passed away, you may forget that the bishop was here; you may forget the beautiful sermon preached; you may forget the beauty of the church and the sweetness of the music, but you will never forget that it was the one occa- sion since my arrival here some years ago that, on entering the pulpit, I did not talk about the collection.” That Swampy Section.
