I never heard of transplanting pota toes, which of course is no indication that it lias not been done. At any rate I know 11 lias now been done, and sue cessfully, and that by a tramp gar dener that fell into my place one day when I particularly needed him. lie did not fall from heaven, however, bul from the river road, which is a very different thins:. Any one who knows anything about river roads will appre ciate how different. Before the advent of the tramp gar dener I had a man who knew every thing—except how to garden. This man's omniscience was only equaled by his mendacity, as Is apt to bo the case. A know-it-all is nearly always a liar. lie lias to be to keep up liia rep utation. This man planted the potatoes when no one was looking and got two roVs where one ought to be. A man who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before inay be a benefactor, but a man who makes two rows of po tatoes grow where there is room for only one should be called a shorter and uglier name. At any rate, when those potatoes came up that is what the man in question was called. Later 011 the tramp gardener sized up the situation. He never had heard of transplanting potatoes either, but that did not discourage him. He iirst prepared another plot of ground and carefully dug holes large enough for the hills. Then, a hill at a time, he carefully took up every other row of the potatoes and removed them to these new hills. This he did by insert ing his shovel deep under t lie entire hill, lifting it so as not to disturb the roots. As a result every hill kept green, and that part of the potato patch now looks as well as the other. It remains to be seen whether it will bear us well, but I see no reason why it should not. If it does, some weeks of time will be saved, to say nothing of the seed potatoes, and that tramp gardener will be entitled to pat him self on the back. Is This Fancy or Prophecy? Julia Ward Howe, author of the "Bat tle Hymn of the Uepublic," recently dreamed a "dream that was uot all a dream." She saw a new era suddenly dawn upon the world. Men and women, as under a divine inspiration, Joined to tight back evil in every form. Such a crusade had never been seen since the world began. That brother hood for good explained all history in its culmination. It gave it reason for all tin; past, crowning it with glory. And why not? The best, the most intelligent, men and women in all lands have seen that there is nothing in wrong; that it does not satisfy, that it is but an empty shell, a hollow un reality, a diet of husks. Why should they not join to beat it back? That would be a movement worth living for. I have overcome it few habits in my life, and I have done it by seeing their nothingness. They had no meaning. In that far they were unreal. What power had they over nie, a real being? To retain these puerile habits, I said, would be like a grown man playing with a baby's rattle. That made the battle easy. Indeed, there was no bat tle. The habit dropped away of itself. Moonlight and Mysticism. What is there about the moon that makes people think about love and ghosts, eternity and infinity and otlier pleasantly uncanny things? Sometimes when I see the moon shining across the broad river 1 feel a million years old. I get a real shivery sensation that I have seen that same 1110011 with other eyes and in other lands before the Sphinx lost her nose. Xow, that is no way for a twentieth century man with a good digestive ap paratus to feel. What is the connection between moonlight and mysticism? Any one who thinks he can explain is welcome to try. "Mike." The wandering gardener that drifted into my place at the beginning of the summer, along with the birds and the lioboes that sift into the country as soon as the days grow warm, has taught nie some new things in human nature. The only name lie answers to is Mike, but as he was born in Kliodc Island and is as much of a Yankee as an Irishman, I cannot determine whether the original baptismal for mula of that abbreviation was Michael nr Misaac. In addition to his other good works Mike lias endeared himself to the goats by talking to them in a dialect they understand and by carrying them green and tender branches several times each day. In consequence they know even the dents in his old and battered hat and call to him half way across the place, crying in that pene trating a:ul mournful note that makes the voice of the goat near! half hu man and more than half diabolic. To tin. little girl Mike t>■'!■■ stories of the Mother Fairy that ha her home in the secondhand wildcn: <at the upper end of the little slanting farm. The boys he teaches to fish and set traits and, when they think it Is not work to pr" wo-" 1 ". The love of children and of dumb things, like charity, is sufficient to cover a multitude of sins, of which Mike also has his inherited and ac quired share. There is his wanderlust that has made him tramp most of the dry parts of tile earth and, not content with that, has driven him to sail before the mast over the wet parts. There is likewise his recurrent thirst that at the end of a period of months takes Mike out of the world for at least it week. To the Only Woman Mike one day paid a tribute to her more unworthy half that—well, it really does not mat ter what he sit id because lie dashed it all by the mournful postscript, "lie don't understand such old fellows as me." If I do not, it is my fault and mis fortune. Have I been so eager to find the light for myself that I have forgotten "one of the least of these?" Have I loved humanity so much In the mass and the abstract that 1 have failed to care for them in the individ ual and the concrete? If so. I have missed the way. 1 must find my brother man in him that fal ters and stumbles. Poor old Mike! The wanderlust at last will be too much for him. He will take to the open road, disappearing as he came. But his lesson will remain. That has burned Itself home. Unconventional Gardening. Honestly, I have hopes that people are going to get over formal, straight line, mechanical and unnatural gar dening. It is time. Here I read an article from the Washington Star actually advising people to take a spade and chop holes, angles and curves in their straight borders. What are we coming to? This same article says that the Japa nese and other orientals have us beat en a uiile as landscape gardeners for the reason that they follow nature, have curves, jogs, different levels, rock effects and other things In line with the way that nature and God do things. This is most hopeful. If a sufficient number of writers will begin talking in this strain we may do something. The only thing needed is to put our souls into our gardening. When we have a spirit in doing anything wo get away from mechanical and forced effects. How I Got the Don't Worry Habit. I have learned since I lived with the soul of things that people do not need to be unhappy unless they desire to be. All this is good if rightly seen and rightly placed. God is actually run ning things, and running them right. There is satisfaction in a thought like that. 1 used to lie disturbed about the way the world is being managed. I thought God was off the job every now and then, that things were going wrong and that the politicians bad to make them right. Now I have come to the conclusion that a competent engineer is in charge, and I am not so much worried. Understand nie, 1 believe that God works through people and that we must stand true to him, true to our soul impulses, true to righteousness, to liberty and ti> humanity. But there is no need of losing sleep about the uni verse going to the demnition bow wows. It is like this:l used to watch a gang of men doing some gigantic work —building a railroad or erecting a building—and every now and then I became disturbed with the thought that they were not doing in it the right way. Then 1 reasoned with my self in this wise: The man in charge of that job knows more about it than I do. He is experienced and takes every part of the work into considera tion. lie is not making a mistake, and there is no occasion for nie to bother my head about it. It was a comfort ing conclusion. I am a part of the social machine, and to that extent my responsibility goes and no further, in public mat ters i am legitimately interested. There 1 owe my duty to my country and my state. I also owe my duty to the Supreme—that I keep my heart open and receptive to his will. But I owe it to nobody to worry. I owe it to nobody to interfere with his pri vate business or to be concerned about it. This is 11 constructive world and is going right. My greatest concern is to bo constructive myself and to keep step with Cod and humanity. That is one of the lessons I have learned from my little farm. This is it universe oft.'.act justi e. Were that not true it could not exist. Injustice simply means incomplete justice, and no incomplete tiling can be permanent. Only that which is whole and perfect is durable. If there could exist one wrong not ultimately righted, the orderly course of things would be disturbed and the destruction of .all would inevitably result. The world wauls tilings that are gen uine. It wants people who seem to lie what they are. it is tired of preten sion, of cant, of faklrisnt. It is sick of the g-iotly good. It yearns for a 111 He wholesome common sense. It needs more warm hearted, broad minded, sincere goodness—the real thing and not the counterfeit. I once dreamed of a perfect rule of life that God would give toman, and this was the form It took: "Aspire to nothing the world ran give. Aspire to all that I can give." Death is not a terrible thing We die often. Back along the years we see the gliosis of our dead reives. .TAMES A. Cold Spring-o!:-the Hudson. X. Y.
