THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE 



IN THE PEACEFUL 



PRECINCTS OF BOTTOM'S 



ORDINARY 



"The trouble" said old Adam, 

 "is that good or bad porridge, it all 

 leaves the same taste in the mouth 

 arter you've once swallowed it. I've 

 had my -pleasant trespasses in the 

 past, but when I look baclnvard on 

 'em now, to save my life, I cant 

 remember anything about 'em but 

 some small painful mishap that 

 al'ays went along with 'em and 

 sp'iled the pleasure. 



"Thar was the evening I dressed 

 up in my best clothes and ran off to 

 Applegate to take a yellow-haired 

 circus lady, in pink skirts, out to 

 supper. It ought to have been a 

 fine glorious bit of wickedness to 

 remember, but the truth loas that 

 I'd pvt on a new pair of boots an 

 one of 'em pinched so in the toes 

 that I couldn't think of another 

 thing the whole blessed evening." 



'Tis life, that's what it is," 

 commented Solomon, heaving a sigh 

 that burst a button-hole in his blue 

 shirt. "An what's mo' than life, 

 it's marriage. I've known a man 

 to throw himself into the river from 

 sheer love before marriage, an two 

 weeks arter the woman had taken 

 him, to fall out with her because 

 she'd put too much shortenin' in 

 his pie-crust." 



"It's all love befo' marriage and 

 all shortenin arterioards," observed 

 Betsey Bottom with scorn.

BY ELLEN GLASGOW 



The Miller 

 of Old Church 



C.A story of Virginia in the period which has followed 

 the Civil War. It is a picture of Southern life when the 

 bonds which held together the older social organization 

 were snapping, one by one, under pressure of shifting 

 fortunes, and the common people were rising in impor- 

 tance through the acquisition of wealth and political 

 power. 



CAbel Revercomb, an outstanding figure among the 

 plain folk, is the character whom Miss Glasgow draws 

 with such conviction as the Miller of Old Church. It is 

 his love story that she tells — the romance of a man 

 whose soul is purged of its imperfections by virtue of 

 the love he thinks he has abandoned. 



CThe Miller is a type of this newer social order, where 

 birth yields to merit and ability, and the chronicle of 

 his love and uprising is the finest thing Miss Glasgow 

 has done.

r-Horsford's Hardy Plants— j 



Autumn planting begins in August. Many of the early 

 flowers are ripe then. Trilliums, Eremurus, Dog's-Tooth 

 Violets, Dicentra.etc, may be set then as well as other ear- 

 ly blooming bulbs like the daffodil. These plants, set 

 when quite dormant, are very likely to give good results 

 in the North, My Autumn Supplement, ready last of 

 August, will offer many inducements to those who wish 

 to plant liberally. Ask for it and spring catalogue.
