who overheard our conversation, "it's
true, every time, gentlemen, that
white cats are deaf"
'Prove it," said some one who did
not believe it.
II can prove it as easy as rolling of
a log. My old aunt, down in the
State of Maine, raised a white cat,
and she's alive and kicking yet-the
cat, not my aunt-fur's l know, and
she told me-my aunt, not the cat
that the animal was so deaf she could
not hear the clock strike-fact."
"That's nothing" said a mar on
the other side OF the car, who had
been listening intently. at don't
prove that the hull race of white cats
Is deaf. Why, we had a white cat in
our family-l raised it mysclf-and it
heard so well we had to stop the
clock"
There was a long silence, then some
one piped feebly:
why"
Because she thought every tick
was a mouse in the wall. and she tore
all the wall paper off trying to get at
it.

hour, then the man who knew white

Roses on Their Own Roots,


There is 10 dOut but many lose
their hardy rose bushes out doors
through their having been grated or
budded or a strong stock. TO those
who are aware OF the fact and know
how to treat them, a weak grower on
a strong foster root may be benefited.
But the general trouble arises from
strong side shoots springing up from
below the graft or bud. The ama-
tcur, delighted with this evidence Of
thrlftine; IS in his plants, allows it to
grow on, waiting hopefully for the
flowers that never come. Its greater
vitality kills out the weaker growth
OF the grated rose. Hence, except
you know the rose is on its own roots
and not worked on a stronger growth,
always look with suspicion on a
strong sucker coming up from below.
BY close observation, il a bad shoot,
~ ma easily De known Dy an entirely
different appearance of leaf growth
and If so, then cut this interlopcr out
II you want to preserve the good rose.
The safest way is to grow roses only
on their own roots. Most of those
raised in this country are Of this
class, though not all. If you do not
know by looking at the plant, better
ask for roses on their own roots. The
only trouble is that n very often
gets much larger plant on these
worked roses for the same price than
such as have been raised from cut
tings.

Thus Chicago has seen her Columbian

model of architectural excellence. 1t
is located just across from the fair
