understand as his share that he would
superintend my labor in the stoke-hole

two men could accomplish, and it was

As L have limited, Evans was a sort of
impenetrable mortal. aud with those cross
eyes you could never tell what he was
thinking about or looking at. He was
slave to his groG. and all he drank never
seemed to unsteady his legs or loosen his
tongue. but it showed itself In bad temper
and quarrelsome humors at trifles. In
Paramaribo he laid in a stock of Dutch

him from violence, and even then he sue
ceeded In butting himself about in frantic
paroxysms. Morphine was nOt then in
use as sedative and there was no allevia-

Thorn pson and had battle with him dur

Mrs. Theodosia B. Shepherd of Ventura
IS the wife of successful lawyer OF that

WORK eight or nine years ago with no IDEA
OF doing what she has since accomplished.
but more with view to securing the out
of-doOr employment which her failing
health demanded, and to supply herself
through exchange with everything that her
great love for flowers demanded. She Is
not an orchardist. but grower of plants,
bulbs and seeds. From the little garden
plat where she at first worked for health
and pleasure the undertaking has grown
under her hands until she now cultivates
from ten TO twelve acres of her specialties.
She has greenhouses and lighthouses for
the chOicer varieties. and does a large
wholesale business with Eastern and
foreign seedsmen besides her retail trade.
She is said to have the largest and finest
collection of choice plants in the State
not Of trees, but of ornamental plants,
bulbs and things in that line.
Mrs. Shepherd this season grew $500
pounds of sweet peas of different varieties,
her first year Of growing them. She grows
the Egyptian papyrus, French canEas,
smilax seed, cobra and roses and vines OF
every description, besides every variety of
ferns and orchids. Beginning with peither
capital nor business experience she has
built up a Furnishing industry and
opened up an entirely new field for femi-
nine energy.
Mrs. Shepherds personality is as inter
esting as is Der work. She says of herself
that she is "a crank of the first water"
Her friends know her as a progressive
woman in every sense of the word. She is
happily married, the mother of four grown
children, three of them daughters, who
have been of great assistance to her in her
work. She has not allowed herself to de-
generate into mere business woman, but
