Otis Abel, of the WinOna Con-
struction Company, which also does
street paving. was in the city yester-
day on the way to Alabama. He stat
ed that the people Of Winona are
greatly pleased with their street paw
ing. There only asingle layer of brick
was put down, but in Mankato it
would be necessary to lay two courses.
The cost, he thought, would depend
entirely upon where the brick was
purchased. There was the usual op-
position to paving, but three months
after it was done every one of the
"kickerS" was satisfied and was pc
titioning to have other streets paved.
During a season of financial stringen-
cy Winona spent $4,000 in street
paving. Paving can be done cheaply
now, and if the payment is extended
over several years the burden would
be lightly bourne.

THE NATIONAL FLOWER.
How the Rose Of Sharon Became ths
Rose of England.


Rose of England
That the rose is the national flower
of England. and was accepted as such
at the conclusion of the wars of the
roses. when the red rose Of Lancaster
and the white rose OF York were united
BY the marriage of the representatives
of the two warning houses. most read
ers OF history know. How this flower
came to be the badge OF either house,
not many people even guess. The few
students who suppose they know It's
history say that the white rose came
TO the house of York through the fam
lily OF Clifford. whose device II had long
been. and beyond whom il cannot be
traced. The red rose, il Is supposed,
dates back to Eleanor OF Provence,
queen Of Henry Ill, and was ber per-
sonsl device, assumed for love Of the
beautiful Provence roses Of her native
duchy. and transmitted 20 her descend
ants Of Lancaster.
But in the recently published life a
Dean STANLEY. devoted student ot
historic traditions. q new and pic
turesque origin is assigned 20 the na-
tional flower. He gathered the story
while visiting IN a chateau in the little
town CT Provins, France, and believed
il 20 be correct According TO IL, the
red rose Of England was never .
Provence rose, but instead was Q rose

A Pompous Little Chap.

Alfonso, king of Spain, is now a lit
tie more than eight fears of age, and q
pompous little chap he il, which is not
to be wondered at when Spanish eti-
quette is considered. His slumbers are
watched throughout the night by the
Monteros de Espinosa, body OF men
who for four hundred years have en-
joyed the exclusive privilege of guard
ing the king or queen from sunset to
sunrise. They are bound by tradition
to be natives of the town of Espinosa,
and must have served with honor in
the army. They lock the palace gates
with much ceremony and solemnity at
midnight and open them again at seven
O'Clock in the porning. Naturally,
Alfonso thinks he is a great little man.

THUNDER-STORMS.

Words of Encouragement for Timid or
Seryous Women.
II is not altogether unreasonable or
unnatural that we should sometimes
he seriously affected by thunder
storms. A severe storm brings rs near
the possibilities of disaster, and that
thought is sufficient 20 intimidate a
nervous or delicate woman.
Some women-who under far more
trying circumstances show great nerve
and self-control-are almost prostrated
from nervousness and excitement dur
ing a storm. and can find no closet dark
or safe enough in which 20 conceal and
alleviate their fears.
Very often the electricity in the at
mosphere has an uncomfortable infiu-
ence upon the nerves, and women are
hardly responsible for what they do.
1t certainly makes il easier for them.
and for those around them, If they act
as they feel. At the same time they
should remember the example they
show TO others, and how easily those
who are ignorant, and especially the
little children who are around them,
will partake OF their fears.
Every day we are exposed 20 dangers
more serious thar those caused bv
thunder-storns. The accidents from
lightning are very few. The fact that
the storm is beyond all human control.
and so awe-inspiring TO see and 20
hear is the foundation of our fears.
The accidents that may occur on the
railroad trains, the street cars. and in
riding and driving we rarely stop 20
consider. and vet we are exposed 70
them far more often. and under many
more chances of danger, than we are
in the rare occurrence OF severe thun-
der-storms
In an ordinary house one place is as
safe as another during a storm To sit
