its Development Since It's First In
Production.
When the plant was introduced, about
1910, it was only the small daisy-like
flower, now only seen as rule in cot
tage gardens, which was highly priced
as novelty. The taste for growing
and showing it began early, and before
1860 there were many chrysanthemum
societies in existence, among them the
Stoke Newington, which formed the
nucleus of the National society. Yet it
was not until 1859, when the plants suf-
fered severely from early frosts, that
there was any idea of growing them
under glass. The japanese variety was
noticed in 1864 as a novelty, "very Curl
Gus and interesting, but scarcely orna-
mental" How little did the author of
these remarks suspect that futurewas
before the plant he SO summarily set
aside Three years later, however, we
find japanese varieties recommended
with pompom and incurved, and since
then they have increased in favor, says
Longman's Magazine.
The gorgeously colored mop-like
blooms now exhibited every autumn
would certainly astonish that writer
of 30 years ago. The golden and bronze
shades of the chrysanthcmum suited
the taste of the promoters of the high
art" aesthetic movement OF a few years
ago, which, IL it had no other merit,
helped to bring this flower moro for
ward and revived the culture of sun
flowers, which we're fast becoming ex-
tinct in our gardens.

BORING FOR RABBITS.
A Wire Cable and II Ditstock the Out

A Wire Cable and II Bitstock the Out
ft-speaking Tubes Used.
It has remained for La Crosse
sportsman of an inventive turn of mind
to provide rabbit hunters with an in
animate substitute for ferret, the use
of which is prohibited by the game laws
of Wisconsin, a bitstock and flexible
wire cable attached to a perforated iron
bulb being capable Of driving bunny"
out of his subterranean home.
At this season of the year rabbits are
in their prime, and within small radius
of Milwaukee they are extremely plen-
tiful, but the weather is unfavorable
for hunting. In Waukesha county. and
particularly in the immediate vicinity
of Pewaukee lake, between Watertown
and Madison, west of Racine and in
Dodge county, Milwaukee hunters en-
Joy their best sport in December and
January, and with the first fal! of snow
a great many rabbits were killed by
local sportsmen. In spite Of the laws
forbidding the use of ferrets, hunters
have evaded the vigilance of the game
wardens, but unless they are securely
muzzled the rodents seize the rabbits
in their burrows and enjoy feastwhile
the hunter impatiently waits above for
the temperance of his quarry.
With the new hunting apparatus,
however, the hunter is equipped with
device which is sure to drive the game
to the surface and give him shot. The
cable is flexible, but sufficiently rigid
to cause the iron bulb attached to it
to rotate positively throughout the en-
tire length of the burrow, following
each ramiffcation with lateral, snake
like motion, and does not become en-
tangled in the roots of bushes or trees.
A depth of 20 feet can be reached sue
cessfuIly, and those who have used the
device say ii is infallible. The bulb
should first be placed in the burrow
where the rabbit has taken refuge and
then the bit brace revolyed to the
right. pushing on the cable at the same
time. The bulb will follow all the de-
viations in the hole until it strikes the
animal. WHICH DecOIuCS SultCiGHtlJ
alarmed to leave its refuge and take
to the open. To withdraw the apparat-
US the operator should continue to re-
volve the brace to the right, but pull on
the cable. The threads On the bulb and
coupling are made right-handed, as are
the strands of the cable.
If a hunter desires to smoke rab-
bit out of his hole he can fill the iron
bulb with cotton waste saturated with
kerosene or powdered sulphur, and then
heat the metal until the filing begins
to smoke. After inserting the cable in
the burrow one Of the holes should be
closed, and the rest is easy, providing
the hunter is proficient in the use Of
gun.
This winter a number of hunters have
also used section of garden hose,which
they insert into the rabbits burrow
and then use the hose for a speaking
tube. A horrible racket is created by
this method, and the game is scared out,
but the cable and bulb is said to be

"Well, I amt no blame fool, and l
reckon that's so. Go on with your
preachin', but I won't stand no abuse"
"My friend, I did not come to abuse,
but to talk of love. Listen to me-"
Then in the simplest way he told the
story of the Saviour of man. His words
were warm and poetic. The Saviour
had not come to enforce aw-He had
violated law made by the hard-heart-
ed. lie was the gentlest and bravesi
of all the universe. He had blessed
thief. "And if He were to come upon
earth now, the rich man, the man of the
law, the banker, the railroad king,
would be as hard toward Him as the law
that crucified Him."
"Wait mint" cried Abe. WAS it
the law that killed Him?'
Eyes, the law; and the rich and the
powerful gloried in it."
"Why, l always lowed that He was
the law"
Gle was the law OF gentleness and
love, but not of legislatures"
SEQ ahead You are gettin' next to
me-"
When the sermon was done Abe came
forward and said: 81 reckon l must
be the ignuntest man in the world.
Why, the Christ you tell about loves
poor brute like me-"
Eyes, He died for you"
"And for Sam and Dave and the rest
of us?"
Yes, for you all"
well, now, they didn't tell me that
before. That always told me that He
hated sin and would send me to hell,
and I couldn't love no man like that.
I can't help bein' ignunt-I never was
in a school,"
"Will you come to church tonight?
We are going to hold a revival"
81 don't know what that is, but I'll
come and help you hold it, don't care
how hard it tries to git loose. Now
let me gityo' boss for you and fetch him
up to thedoor."
At night the Lighthorns were there.
They asked many questions during the
services; and al last, when called upon
to pray, Abe said: "Fellers, it amt no
part of coward to pray to man that
give His life for you. He could have
been rich and powerful if lie had want
ed to go with the high-headers, but He
stayed down with the poor and needy,
and I'm going to pray to Him"
On the following Sunday there was
Il wedding in the church. you fell in

an to The bride.
Not so very quick" she answered.
81 met him when was over in his coun-
ty, and we have been engaged six

HurriedIy Married Couple Grateful
to n Mutual Acquaintance.
Most old sayings have more or less
foundation In fact, and probably of
none can this be more truly said than
Of the adage: Marry in haste and re-
pent at leisure" Nevertheless the fair
les are sometimes good to couples who
wed without conventional elaboration,
as is proven by the story related by the
best man at a recent wedding. about
as quick a wedding as ever heard OF, y
said he, was one in which l was the
matchmaker. 1t was about four years
ago, in a Louisiana country town. [
won't mention actual names, but shall
say that Percy Allen, of the country
town, and Miss Jessie Milton, visto:
from New Orleans, met each other.
You know how it is in the country;
young people don't have to climb gar
den walls to be able to converse to-
gether. Well, in week Percy and Jes-
sic were on pretty friendly terms, but
nobody suspected them of anything
more than friendship and they them
selves had no suspicion of anything
more serious. Now here is where l
come in; it was l who fixed them for
life. By the force of suggestion, as
in the case of Beatrice and Benedict,
caused them to see each other in an
entirely different light. We three were
walking down the street together. Sud-
denly looked with Il very critical eye
at Percy and Jessie and said: What
fine couple you would make. l never
saw two persons better suited for each
other Percy laughed awllwardly, Jes-
SIC blushed. Il would be perfectly will
ing, said Percy, but 1 don't know
whether Jessie would have me- Jessie
laughed. 1 wouldn't mind she an
swered. Get married this evening,
then,' put in. Have snap. 1 shall get
the license to-day But l have no
clothes ready remarked Jessie. We'll,
if you wish to put it off, remarked
Percy, we shall make it tomorrow
When we reached the house Jessie went
into the parlor to receive the visit OF
a young man. Percy came to me. lie
was agitated. He said: L wonder if
Jessie was only joking? l wonder if
e-would-have-meY 1 think So
| answered. She has told me that she
likes YOU AS result Percy waited
until the young man left, and after
half an hours conversation with Jes-
sic matters were arranged. By noon
of the next day they were married and
on their way to New Orleans. 1 ac-
companied them to help Percy out. OF
course, Jessie's people raised all man
ner of row, but when they discovered
that Percy was nice young fellow
and able to support wife, bless you,
my children followed and champagne
was opened. Percy and Jessie are
happy couple to-day, and they prob
ably wouldn't have had gumption
enough to come together unless / had
been there. Until events proved thatit
was a happy union was in mortal ter
ror because of my share in the affair."
md you may be sure would never play
such a part again. Marriage is much
too serious matter to be entered into
in that way."-Chicago Chronicle.

A Case OF Observation-Disclosures .

There are couple Of lawyers who
have adjoining office roms in Il certain
downtown block. Both men. while able
practitioners, happen to be exceedingly
absent-minded. The other day both en-
tered the elevator at the same time,
and were lifted" to the floor on which
their offices are located. Each entered
the others office. An hour or so elapsed
and a couple of women were taken to
the floor, and made their way to the
offices, one passing intooneofthe rooms.
and her companion entering the other
office. The women were strangers TO
each other. Later in the day the two
lawyers appeared at the courthouse in
company with the women, and each
filed a complaint for divorce. Each of
the women CHANGED for the first time
to address their attorneys by name in
the file room at the county clerks Of
flee, and not until then was it discov-
cred that each of the seekers for divorce
had intended to employ the other law
yer, and by accident had entered the
wrong Office. Said one of the attorneys
nfterward to the Picllings man: IF it
hadn't been for my Observation-Disclosures

is will have to depend upon getting an
