Slow Stephan
Visiting
Katherine
They all laughed at Stephan with
thft careless unkindness of youth and
the burden of their laughter was that
he was so slow. He even was slow
at resenting their fun at his expense.
Like most big persons, Stephan moved
ponderously and his speech was heavy
ard slow. Something in his mild blue
eyes seemed to question, but that
wag all the notice he took of the
others' • taunts.
The reason that he had so little
time to devote to worrying over his
countrymen's opinion of him was that
Stephan's mind was taken up with
Rosa to the exclusion of all else. He
had fallen in love instantly with her
pert little smiling face and charming
ways. Rosa darted across the line of
Stephan's vision and left him gasp-
ing, figuratively speaking. Sometimes
he gasped in reality—that was when
Rosa turned the batteries of her
quick wit upon him and left his mind
whirling because of his inability to
reply to one speech before she at-
tacked him again. She laughed at
him along with the others, yet she
did not seem displeased at his de-
votion.
Stephan was good looking, although
this fact had never occurred to him.
He was modest, and allowed himself
to be elbowed out of the way by
others more audacious if less worthy.
Rosa was always surrounded by ad-
mirers and Stephan lurked dismally
in the background, patiently waiting
for a glance in his direction. Rosa's
glances came his way at times.
"What's the matter, George?" asked
Bleeker when he and Wadley met at
the same cafe table last Tuesday
noon. "You look like the last run of
shad. Have you been Bick?"
"No, I've been up in the country,"
said Wadley. "You know Katherine
Morgan's people have a cottage at
Sunset lake. Well, Katherine invited
me to pass the week-end there. She
said it was a quiet, restful place, so I
decided to break away from the busi-
ness grind for two or three days, If
I lost my job for it"
"You did right," declared Bleeker.
"Everybody needs a change once in a
while."
"Well, I had a change, all right,"
said Wadley, dismally.
"Didn't It agree with you? Was It
dull?"
"Dull! I'll just tell you what Kath-
erine, the adorable, the untiring, ab-
solutely indestructible Katherine, ar-
ranged for my pleasure.

PRESERVE THE PEACH TREES
Stella, who was Rosa's most inti-
mate friend, jeered Rosa for being
fond of her slow admirer.
"Why do you waste time on Ste-
phan?" demanded Stella. "He is so
big—and so slow! He never dances
or anything! He just sits and looks
at you!"
"Maybe that's it," Rosa answered
with a toss of her head.
Stella shrugged her shoulders. "1
like some one who is gay, myself,"
she said. "Some one like Josef."
Rosa smoothed her apron and
frowned. Josef was very attentive to
her. He had sparkling eyes and a
little mustache, which he kept curled
and sharply pointed, and he made
pretty speeches on the spur of the
moment and was very sure of him-
self. Rosa flirted with Josef and led
him on, but that was merely girlish
coquetry, and she shrank from any
thing more. Of late Josef had
wearied her.
Stella, watching Rosa, burst out or
a sudden. "I suppose you think you'll
catch some one grander than Joser—
but let me tell you—"
Rosa turned on her. "Oh, Josef!"
she mimicked. "Why don't you mar-
ry him yourself if you think he's so
fine? I would If I liked him as much
as you do!"
Stella, routed, retreated, scarlet of
face and vengeful of mind. Rosa, as
If to prove her power, was kinder to
Josef and paraded him before Stella
and the others. Perhaps this unusual
leniency on her part really pleased
him, for he seemed more natural and
sincere. Rosa even thought she had
misjudged him. There seemed more
to Josef than she had surmised—per-
haps he was not such a shallow man
after all.
Before she knew how it happened
she found herself engaged to marry
Josef. All the other girls envied her
and the excitement of preparing for
the wedding bore her up. Rosa as-
sured herself that she was happy.
This usually was after she had caught
a glimpse of Stephan, in the back-
ground as usual, looking dumb devo-
tion at her.
Stephan had a very sober face these
days. The thought of him irritated
Rosa strangely. Once when Josef
spoke slightingly of him Rosa had
started to reply furiously, but bit her
lip and was sullenly silent. She knew
Josef would not care for her anger.
She had grown to feel that he did
not care deeply for anything.
Gtephan had been asked to the wed-
ding, which was at the church at an
early hour, but he was not there.
"He'd be late to his own wedding!"
some one laughed. "So why not at
another's?"
Some one else was missing—the
bridegroom. At first there was only
restlessness on the part of those who
were waiting, then came whisperings
and surmises. After an hour a mes-
senger was sent and reported that
Josef had not been at home for two
days.
Stephan arrived as they were trying
to calm the hysterical Rosa, desolate
in her wedding finery. It was an hour
and a half after the time set for the
wedding. For a moment Stephan
looked at the weeping girl and his
hands clinched. Then quietly he
walked to her side and, brushing the
others aside, bent over her.
"Rosa," he half whispered, "look at
me—It is Stephan. Forget that wretch
of a Josef! I'll have the papers to
marry you in half an hour if you'll
gay yes! You know that I love you!"
Rosa's little hands clutched his
sleeve and she went on his shoulder.
A wonderful happiness was stealing
over her. "I—I'm glad Josef is not
here!" she whispered.
Drains Immense Watershed.
The Missouri river drains a water-
shed of 580,000 square miles.
"It was 8:30 Friday evening when
my tr^in arrived. Katherine was at
the station with a carryall full of
young people, who welcomed me most
warmly. We drove to the cottage,
where supper was awaiting me. After
I dispatched that and was looking
longingly at one of the porch ham-
mocks Katherine announced that we
were all to go down the shore a half
mile to a marshmallow roast.
"If there's anything sicky sweet In
the name of food that I particularly
detest it's marshmallows, but, of
course, I expressed my delight at the
roast and away we went. After about
ten pounds of marshmallowB had been
consumed and the beach fire was get-
ting low Katherine suggested that we
have a few lively games to warm our
selves. Although I was really too
tired to move, I joined in the romp-
in gs and tore back and forth across
'he beach like a schoolboy for a half-
hour or so.
"At 6:30 the next morning a rap at
my door woke me from a sound sleep
" 'Aren't you going for a dip?' called
Katherine, gayly. "I take a swim ev-
3ry morning before breakfast.'
"In about five minutes I joined
Katherine on the pier. She dived into
lhe water and I followed, my teeth
•hattering. She struck out across the
jay. It was only by superhuman ef-
orts that I managed to keep up with
^er. I had not been in swimming
before this year, and I never was a
strong swimmer. I proposed that we
run home on the beach and Katherine
bet me a box of candy that she could
beat me. She won.
"After breakfast she challenged me
to tennis. We played six sets before
lunch. I was too tired to eat and I
longed to stretch myself In a ham-
mock, but Katherine said she was as
hungry as a hired man, and she knew
I must be starving, so I sat down at
the table and was making a fairly
good meal when Katherine told me to
hurry, for she had arranged a four-
some at golf with two friends of hers.
"It was 5 o'clock when we finished
playing golf and Katherine said we
should just have time for a swim
before dinner. When I was dressing
after the swim Katherine knocked at
my door and told me to put on my
dancing pumps, as we were going to
a hop in the evening.
"We went to the hop. Katherine
was as blooming as a rose. She in-
troduced me to every girl there and I
danced every dance on the program
and six extras. I don't know how I
managed to walk the mile back to the
cottage without falling by the side of
Katherine, who appeared to be doing
a Marathon, so briskly did she walk."
"I hope you got a rest Sunday,"
said Bleeker, sympathetically.
"A rest! Katherine had planned a
walk around the lake. It was just
seven miles, and we got home in time
for a 1 o'clock dinner. I was deter-
mined that I should sleep all the aft-
ernoon in a hammock.. But it was
not to be. Katherine asked me to row
her to the far end of the lake to pick
water lilies. We got into weeds
where I could hardly move the boat
an inch without breaking my back.
"In the evening Katherine had a
crowd in for a Welsh rarebit and I
was allowed to cut up four pounds of
cheese. It was hard work. One of
the girls came unescorted and Kath-
erine and t rowed her home across
the lake at midnight and walked a
half-mile to her house and back.
"It didn't seem more than ten min-
utes after I got into bed when Kath-
reine knocked on my door to see if I
was ready for my morning swim. I
answered brightly that I had already
been in. Then I began throwing my
things into my suitcase. At breakfast
I inquired about the first train to
town.
" 'But George,' Katherine protested,
'I thought you were going to stay over
today. There's a lot of things I want
you to do. We were going to play in-
door baseball and '
"'I'm terribly sorry,' I interrupted,
'but it's imperative that I return to
my office this morning.'
"It was imperative. I knew that if
I didn't regain the rest and quiet of
my desk telephone immediately I
should be a total wreck. I fled and
Katherine's last words to me were an
invitation to return for my vacation
in September."
"Will you go?" asked Bleeker.
"Not unless I've been to a rest cure
tlrst."
May Not Yet Be Too Late for Effec-
tive Warfare Against the Borer—
Its Habits.
The borer pest kills peach trees In
the city lot oftener than anywhere
else because the town man as a rule
knows nothing of grief ahead until
the tree is ready to topple over in a
wind, rotten at the ground. Washes
and wrappers have been devised to
control the peach tree borer, but
Leonard Haseman of the Missouri ag-
ricultural college says the best way
is to swat It with your hand. The
best time, he says, is some time this
fall, a good point to keep in the mem-
ory. *
The gum on the peach tree down
near the ground is an unmistakable
warning that the borer is getting
busy. Mr. Haseman says the search-
er can easily detect the presence of
the borer as a rule by the masses of
peach gum just at the surface of the
ground. The borer has tunneled
through the bark and has commenced
to feed upon the live bark and sap
wood. Sap flows through the hole in
the bark, and coagulates in the alT,
forming the so-called peach gum.
The remedy almost suggests Itself.
Dig away the masses of gum and find
the entrance to the tunnel. Follow
the tunnel with as little damage to
the tree as possible and smash the
borer on sight. It is a small, milky
white, grub-like caterpillar. Most of
them are about half an inch in length
in the fall, being less than half-grown
when winter sets in.
The peach tree borer in the adult
stage is a moth. The moth, appears
from early July to the middle of Au-
gust and closely resembles a wasp,
having clear .wings and yellow and
black bands about the body. The moth
hunts up a peach tree and deposits
eggs about the base. The young bor-
er or caterpillars soon develop and at
once begin to tunnel into the bark
and wood of the tree. Here they feed
and grow. On small trees often a
single borer will completely girdle a
trunk if not put out of business before
It matures. Often dozens or more
will attack a larger tree.
The borers continue their tunneling
all fall. Then they go below the sur-
face of the ground to establish them-
selves for the winter.
NEW WORLD BEING CREATED7
Planet Jypiter Attracting Attention of
Astronomers—Red Spot In-
creasing Rapidly.
The planet Jupiter, whose volume
Is 1.279 times that of the earth, and
superior in dimensions and weighs
to all the other planets put together,
is just now attracting the attention of
astronomers. M. Glacobini of the
Paris observatory, who has made a
special study of Jupiter, has de-
scribed a red spot which possesses a
relative fixity, but within the last
year Its mobility has Increased to
great proportions, and its longitude
by about thirty degrees. That Is all
that we can say scientifically. Is It
really the formation of a new conti-
nent? Can we draw this deduction
from this phenomenon so difficult to
seize? It Is possible, but who can say
so with certainty? M Camille Flam-
marlon, however, expresses himself
with far greater confidence In this
matter: "We are assisting at the
creation of a world. Under our dai-
sied eyes a new world is being created
In the Infinity, and in Jupiter we hail
the world of the future."

SHIP WITH PERFORATED SAIL
Authorities Differ on Subject of Alloys
Ing Air to Rush Through Holes—
Idea Still Used.
Some time ago the theory was ad-
vanced that if a number of small holes
were made In a ship's square sails,
allowing the wind to rush through, the
usual accumulation of dead air would
be prevented, and the sails draw bet-
ter. Authorities, however, differ on
the subject, many believing that the
advantage derived, if any, does not
compensate for the inevitable weak-

beck.
"Oh. no—I don't want to do that I"
"Why not?"
"Do you want me to go?" Inquired
Dalbeck, In accents of deep reproach.

"Then of course I won't go," Dalbeck
said with a skillfully revealed sigh.

NOW THE ARTIFICIAL SPONGE
BENEFIT OF UNITED ACTION
Central Organizations Can Do Much
to Upbuild Any Town or
Community.
There seems to be strong need for
central organizations where delegates
for the various municipalities may
meet and by comparison of notes de-
termine where mistakes have been
made and the proper method of pro-
cedure, says the Ix>s Angeles Times.
These meetings also stimulate activ-
ity where indifference or municipal
lethargy are responsible for lack of
progress In many eastern states
great good has been accomplished
through state federations.
New Jersey was the first state in
the Union to enact a model shade-tree
law. By the act of 1893, It provided
for the planting and care of shade
trees on the highways of the munici-
palities of the state. While the in-
crease in the number of shaTle-tree
commissions during the last few years
has shown the growth of Interest in
the subject, the actual results accom-
plished by the shade-tree commissions
have not been uniformly successful.
The various tree boards have been
working in an independent way, and
bo the maximum results for the good
of the state have not been secured.
It had been felt for some time that
there ought to be some co-ordination
of interests among the various tree
commissions in order that the ade-
quacy of present laws might be stu-
died. the general questions of policy
considered, and h«#p extended to new-
ly-formed shade-tree commissions, and
efforts made to extend the movement
for the planting and preservation of
shade trees in the state. New Jersey
now has a very effective shade-tree
federation.
Process of Making It Consists Princi-
pally in Action of Zinc Chloride
on Cellulose.
An artificial sponge, the outcome of
German ingenuity, is now to be had,
says the Scientific American. The
process of making ft consists prin
cipally in the action of zinc chloride
on pure cellulose. This results in
pasty, viscous mass, which is mixed
with coarsely grained rock-salt.
Placed in a press mold armed with
pins the mass is pierced through and
through until it appears traversed by
a multitude of tiny canals, like the
pores of a natural sponge. The ex-
cess of salts is subsequently removed
by prolonged washing in a weak alco-
holic solution. The artificial sponge
swells up with water, but hardens on
drying, just like its prototype; It is
said to be eminently adapted for filter
ing water for sanitary or industrial
uses and it can be employed for all
the purposes that are usually assigned
to the genuine article.

How to Care for Trees.
With trees, as with all other living
things both animate and inanimate, it
is far easier to form than to reform.
"As the twig is bent so the tree in-
clines" Is all of truth and none of er-
ror. Too little attention is paid to the
training of street trees. Before the
winter season sets In they should be
deprived of top heaviness so that when
the soil becomes softened by winter
rains the excessive top will not catch
enough wind to blow the trees over.
Over-heavy tops that receive the full
force of the winds are apt to be torn
or suffer serious splits, aside from the
danger of blowing over, and all these
evils may be visited upon a single
tree.

cottages, and the matter was referred
to him.

kind of a scratch as a white one! Did
