Mrs. Hales and her daughter, MissMildred Watson, after spending sev-eral days in our city, will leave soonwith Mr. Hales for their ranch homethirty-five mles northeast of Malta.In speaking of the past productiveseason, Mrs. Hales said they had notattempted any "dry farming" stunts,but were greatly pleased with whattheir garden produced, raising andmaturing nearly every kind of gar-den vegetable. Out of thirty-eightpumpkins that matured, one pump-kin distinguished itself by growingto be five feet in circumference andso heavy that two men failed in lift-ing it. The catalpa trees that Mrs.Hales is experimenting with, grewvery rapidly this first season of theirtransplantation, and met winter con-ditions in proper shape.

TOM SUBSIDESOh, Tabby, I sure did not mean to offend,Nor was I concerned how your visions did trend.With my heart full of pain, my eyes full of tears,I sorrow to think that you lost your poor deprs.Don't blame me for snatching their Mousling or

(rat,Oh, no, my dear Tabby. I'm not that kind of a cat.Much rather would I, for your kittens provide,And hunt for their dinner with you by my side;But for me, alas, there is no such a boon,As to walk the back fence, by the light of the

[moon,With you, Madam Puss, to join me in song,And awaken nights echos, as we stroll along.When to my bass voice in cheerful meow,Your soprano, would blend in full toned mew-yow.It was not indigestion, nor yet was it booze,That caused me to answer your plaintiff mews;For with poor, lonely Tabbies, I never would spat.But always behaved like a gentleman cat.If you'll be real good and forgive me this time,I never again will break into rhyme;In fact, my dear puss, I did it to tease,But find that my wit can't compare with Maltese,So I'll lie by the fire, leave the back fence for you,Nor answer again your plaintive, me-ew.
