tiser steal into Gleanings' columns under 

 false cloak — and lie makes it pretty lively 

 for the editorial force if they ever per- 

 mit it, however innocently done. He's 

 always, always, warning against the false 

 and evil advertiser. Well, recently he has 

 been investigating the claims of those 

 " strong men," with gTeat muselies and 

 powerful chests, who advertise to make over 

 any man physically by their gymnastic les- 

 sons and training courses — and publish 

 their own Aehilles-like busts to prove it. 

 In the same category, Mr. Root has been 

 searching out the advertised claims of those 

 wonderfully shapely women who print their 

 own pictures to prove that they can surely 

 direct their sisters everywhere how to be 

 just as shapely — at so much per direction. 

 In his investigations of these much printed 

 " fair women and brave men " be wrote to 

 a certain famous editor in New York ask- 

 ing for the truth about their claims, and, 

 in referring to one of the most widely pic- 

 ture-i^ublished woman-bust promoters, he 

 said to this editor : " I have had my eye 

 on her for years." What do you suppose 

 he got back from that editor? Well, he got 

 a letter larruping these men and women 

 frauds in general; but at the very tail of the 

 letter he also got this : " I observe that 

 you say that you have had your eye on her 

 for years. As for me, I am frank to say 

 tliat I think the eyeing of such characters 

 is liable to take our thoughts away from 

 the more serious duties of life." At a 

 distance of 500 miles, no one could quite 

 hear that editor chuckle as he put this 

 stinger in the tail of his pen creation; but 

 we've heard some local chuckling around 

 tlie office here by the worldly who have 

 seen the letter. The only point is that A. 

 I. Root thought no evil when he wrote as 

 to having his " eye on her " — absolutely 

 none. I am not so sure about the New 

 York editor fellow. Don't blame him, tho, 

 for being unable to resist the temptation of 

 putting in the twister. 



We here aroir d the office have under- 

 gone some modiiieation of our views re- 

 garding dandelion honey production. We 

 have been whacked and whaled about our 

 now stx'ictly former views on this subject 

 from Marengo, Illinois, to Middlebury, Ver- 

 mont, and back again. So you might think 

 we would feel disposed to be mighty ret- 

 icent on the whole dandelion question. 

 But we aren't, and want to try once more 

 by remarking that the festive dandelion is 

 a versatile little cuss. Experience (evolu-
