flowers, with one exception, were yellow

were more specimens of the Escbscholtza

perfectly with its near neighbors, monkey
flowers and Indian pinks. The pretty

shining blue balls was raised high above

crowned with the delicate bunch of bright

There was only one specimen of that
pretty little lemon-yellow flower that has
a dozen common names, but is known to
botanists as Baeria gacillis. 1t was al
most hidden from view beneath bunch of
graceful ferns, but when uncovered raised
its head on its slender stem and shone in
the sunlight as IL made of gold.
The only red flower to be found was
what is known as pmpernell. It is tiny
and delicate plant with frail stems. but
tipped with dozens of blossoms that look
like drops of vermillioD. Hosackia was
also seen.
There were several varieties of snmber-
colored flowers, such as the Silene gallica
and the Stachys bullata. Both OF these

and was in reality something OF an oddity,
it did not contain many OF the most oeau-
tiful flowers that grow on Marin County's s
hills. There was not q single specimen OF
the many varieties of orchids that grow to
perfection, but they were not far OF. In
fact, the orchid is an exclusive flower and
grows by itself, or with only its own kind
for neighbors.
To find wild flowers even in Mill Valley
it will NOT do to keep too near the picnic

There will be plenty of inducements as

Just keep on little further and whatever
is wanted will be found growing by the

Tie orchids will not be found until

they will be discovered back IN some Of

HALF-MARRIED FOR AN HOUR
Curious Predicament Caused by Too
Quick Kiss.

On Saturday at Dunmow parish church
the wedding of cOal-porter with young
woman formerly employed at the vicarage
was interrupted In a curious manner.
The bride and groom were kneeling at the
chancel steps for the first part of the cere-
mony, and as they rose to 60 to the CON-
munion rails to conf plete the rite the best
man, probably thinking. it was all over,
burriedly snatchcd a kiss from the bride
in accordance with an old custom which is
still observed In many country towns.
The officiating clergyman, the Rev. c. G.
Matters. curate in charge, was most indig-
nant at the proceeding. and ordered tho
wedding party to leave The church for half
an hour. The partially married couple
fingered about the precincts for that pc
riod of time. when the offended clergyman
returned, and after ndmonishing the best
man, who is the brides brother-in-aw,
for his levity in interrupting the service in
the manner he had, he proceeded to finish

Like the cooking-school girls, each boy
b as his own desk and tools and every
thing is in beautiful order. The objects
made are copied after models. These
wooden models hang upon the wall ard
those for the first year are veIy simple in
design and construction. The pupils draw
the model first and then construct it, The
first exercises are all in that feat, dear to
the boyish heart, of whiting. Occasion
ally one of the sharp knives cuts too deep
and then a new start is taken. but in all
the work nothing is done without pur-
pose. There are few accidents. The
knives are sharp, but the boys are careful,
and in q certain cupboard there is lint and
plaster for accidents. As the pupils in
crease iu skill the models increase in
difficulty. For each model there is differ-
ent tool and different exercise, and the
boys are quite old enough to understand
that they are learning something more
than how to use a jack-plane. Towel
racks that roll beautifully. hand-carvsd
paper knives and picture frames are
among the things turned out. When the
twenty copies of the original model are
finished they are labeled and collected.
| Then each pupil is allowed to look
over the entire list and select the one he
thinks best Usually the decisions are
very just without favortism. At first the
lads were inclined to select as best that
piece of work which had been most care
fully saudpapered and finished off. After
awhile they began TO use their squares.
reasoning logically and quite unassisted
that a rough piece OF work could be sand
pa apered afterward, but a model not on the
square could never be remedied. The best
piece Of work is kept at the school. The
others are taken home by the workers, so
each boy hopes his work may be among
the BEST but not on the very apex.
The teacher of the sloyd class is
bright, very interesting young woman.

A NIGHT Scene in the Aims.

There was no moon, and while the
ground under foot was almost undistln-
guishable, the vivid starlight made all the
encrcling peaks clearly visible. Just
across the deep gulf of Randa. which had
the backness of pail, arose the colossal
bulk of the Weisshorn, and the W bite chaos
of crags and glaciers leading up to it
seemed to fuse An almost phosphorescent
glimmer. while from behind rhe black
pyramid of the Matterhorn the Milky Way
rose straight toward the zenith, like q
flaming sword. The dead silence would
have been oppressive had it not been
broken now and then by the mnffied roar
of a torrent somewhere down below, which
came at intervals on some stray current of
air, like the hollow rumble of a distant

calculations of ultimate success, if

that Democrats who participated in

implies political non principle. The
candidate assuming this position in
effect asserts, that he himself 10 ad.

none, and he proposes to pursuade
the Democratic voter that the adop.

to do even if it does involve viola.

Of most sacred character. No one
will truthfully deny that each and
every one Of the men who cast a
ballot in the primary on the second
day of June exI ressly or implicitly
pledged support to each of the nom.
inees of said primary. In round
numbers 5000 voters cast ballots in
this primary, and by this act give
pledge of support to the nominees
of the party. There are 5000 voters
in McLennan county. This leaves

this from the 5000 pledged to sup
port the nominee and you find the

him of 5000. Now in order to sue.
ceed the Independent must hold all
of the 200 who did not vote in the
primary and in addition he must be
able to persuade over 1900 men to
go back upon their pledges and vote
for him. Is this right? Let the
man of principle answer to his own
conscience.
