The Morning Star Garden Pea.

! discarded all others, planting the
Morning Star for both early and
late. Although they grow a couple
feet in height they require no
bushing ifgrown in sheltered situa-
tons where the wind cannot blow
too strong. We always have peas
to use two weeks earlier than our
neighbors who grow the dwarf
sorts.
They are very prolific and con-
tinue to bear a long time. If you
grow your own seed and wish to
keep them early always leave a
a row to ripen, never picking any
from it for the table. In this way
you have for seed the first peas
that form on the vines and they
are well matured. This is a good
rule to follow in saving seeds of
all kinds.
We do not plant our peas in

row and drop the peas quite thick.
They grow just as well and pro

amount OF ground than when
planted in the old way. If you
haven't faith enough to plant all,
try one row this way.
We have found these peas very
nice when cooked dry in winter.

NOTED PALM INJURED.
Government Plant Once Owned by
Washington May Die.

Washington, March 24.-Washington's
sage palm, which was taken from the
White House conservatory some time
ago and placed in the court of the pen
sion building, near the fountain, was
returned today to it's old quarters in
a very dilapidated condition. Every
vestige of foliage had been stripped
from the big sage, which is the oldest
plant owned by Uncle Sam, and the Pc
culiar atmosphere of the pension build
ing had caused it to begin decaying at
the roots. It will require a couple of
years of tender care and watching to
restore it to a semblance of it's former
vigor This plant derives its name
from the fact that it was formerly own
ed by Washington, who had 1t placed in
the greenhouse at Mount Vernon, where
it was always a source of qualification
to the first president.
AS far as can be learned it was orig
inalIy imported from Cuba, and when
it came into the possession of President
Washington it was supposed to be over
a hundred years old. 1t has been in
the possession of Uncle Sam for nearly
a century, having been purchased at a
sale at Mount Vernon about the year
1900 It is fully as thick around as the
thigh of a well-deVelOped man, and I'M
til taken to the pension office building
a few months ago was covered at the
top with a crown Of the beautiful frOnd-
age of the sage.

EDISON SOLVES A PROBLEM
Makes Millions of Dollars Worth of
Gold Ore Available.

Springer, N. M, March 24-MessrS.
Stein and Gable of EliZabethtoWn have
gone over to the Rio Hondo, near Ami
zette, to begin active operations on the
Iron Dixie a. large vein of low grade ore
that they control on Gold hill.
A letter received a, few days ago by
Mr. Stein from Thomas A. Edison, the
wizard, states that his tests in remOv-
ing the magnetic iron with his separa-
tor was complete success. This means
that the millions of tons of 81 ore in the
district that was considered valueless
can now be mined and concentrated at
a profit Edison will lend his services
this summer to the owners of the Iron
Dixie which also interested Mayor Eu-
gene Fecket of Washington, D. c., and
a number of New York capitalists who
are closely interested in many ways
with Edison, and will be the means of
bringing abundance of capital to the
ElzabethtoWn district this summer.

EARLIEST ON RECORD.
Navigation on, Lake Superior Opens
Two Weeks Ahead of Time.

Duluth, Mimi. March 24.-Navigation
on Lake Superior opened today, just 16
days earlier than any previous season
on record. It is expected that by the
first of next week the entire Rockefel-
Ter fleet will be moving, as viii also the
Whaleback fleet.
The first boats to clear were the
Whaleback No. 1877 and the steamer
Rockefeller. Both went out late this
afternoon for Two HarbOrs, where they
will take on ore at the Duluth and
Iron Range dock. 1t is expected that
they will clear for Lake Erie ports to-
morrow evening.
The barges Constitution, the Victory
and the Fanda came out of the yards
of the American Barge company today
after undergoing extensive repairs and
will leave for Two Harbors tomorrow
to take on ore. These boats will take
all the ore that can be gotten down
from the VermilliOn range for a week.
The shipment of ore from the Chan
deler mine began yesterday and is be-
ing rushed to fill several big orders for
Chicago and Pittsburg. The shipping
of this ore was hurried somewhat on
account of a threatened cavein of the
stock pile.

A CERTAIN CURE POR PILES.
Safe and Effective in Every Form of
This Common and Annoying
Disease

Many people suffer from piles, be-
cause after trying the many lotions,
salves and ointments without relief or
cure. have come to the conclusion that
a surgical operation is the only thing
left to try and rather than submit to
the shock and risk of life of an opera
this is no longer necessary, the Pyramid
Pile Cure, new preparation cures
every form of piles without pain, in
convenience or detention from business
1t is in the form of suppositOries,
easily applied, absolutely free from OPT
UNI, cocaine, or any injurious substance
whatever, and no matter how severe
deaden1ng the nerves of the parts, but
rather by it's healing, soothing effects
upon the congested membranes.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the most
effective, the safest and most extern
sively sold of any Pile Cure that has
ever been placed before the public
and this reputation has been secured
by reason of its extraordinary merit
and the reasonable price at which it is
sold, all druggists selling it at so cents
and 81 per package, and in many cases
single package has been sufficient.
A person takes serious chances in
neglecting a simple case of Piles as the
trouble soon becomes deeply seated and
chronic, and very frequently develops
into fatal incurabIe rectal diseases, like
fstula and rectal ulcers.
Any druggist will tell you the Pyra-
mid is the safest, most satisfactory pile
cure made.
The Pyramid Co., Marshall, Mich,
will send to any address a treatise on
cause and cure of piles, also book of
testimonials.

New York. March A.-One of the per-
picking questions that has come up in
Queens borough is who shall receive the
dollar tax" which has heretofore been
levied on all funerals entering the ceme-
teries in the old town of NeWtOwn. and
which paid into that town treas
ury. The tax was levied to reimburse the
town for the wear and tear upon its high
ways by the constant stream of funeral
professions. and was collected by the
cemetery officials, who, at convenient
times. turned it over to the town clerk.

SCORES MIR. MANSFIELD.
Carrie Keeler Complains of Harsh
Treatment at His Hands.

treatment at HIS Hands
New York. March 24.-Actress Carrie
Keller, who held up THE Devils Dis
cip1e" in st. Louis last Monday night
because she could not get an assurance
from Richard Mansfield that her posi-
ton in his company would last the full
season, told her side of the story today
at her home in this city. She said:
IT have been used to gruff managers
and know that one must not expect
overpowering polite treatment from a
man who is directing a rehearsal, but
never heard a stage manager use such
language as Mr. Mansfield or show such
utter disregard for decency in dealing
with his people. I bore it for several
weeks and should possibly have swal-
lowed my indignation for some time
longer had not heard that he intended
to drop me in St. Louis. I determined
to checkmate that movement So I
waited till the last moment Monday
night and then refused to go on unless
my salary for the whole season was
guaranteed. Mr.. Mansfield stormed
and sWore, but I insisted.
There was only one thing they could
do, aside from yielding to me, and that
was to read my part. So they did that.
Judith AndeFson's lines were read, and
you can imagine what kind of a per-
Torrance it was. If Mr.. Mansfield had
shown the slightest desire to give me
ordinary decent treatment I should not
have done what did,
