A Weed Garden.

1t Is remarkable how many really beau
tiful flowers are discsrded because ordina-
rily they are classed as weeds. A woman
who has plenty of land and taste for ex-
perimentng made weed garden" this
year which is a great success. She
doesn't know the names of all the out
casts she has gathered in, but she noticed
last year all the wild things that grew
and lowered neglected by the wayside.
and transplanted those that appealed to
her most strongly.
The main reason she urges. that
they attract so little notice when grow
ing wild is that they are not massed and
arranged as we place cultivated flowers
to get the best effect. Now, that is what
have done. A wild flower or a weed as
IL is scornfully termed. that is too fragile
to be thought much OF will make a deli
cate. feathery mass which will be vastly
admired when planted together by the
score or more.
Even such a despised thing as the COM
mon ragweed is worthy OF admiration IL
you happen TO look at II Alright, and IL
is finely effective as foliage for cut
flowers.
This weed gardener has provided for a
succession of blossoms from violets and
dandelions 10 golden rod and late fall
grasses, and nothing has repaid the gar
dener's efforts with better results than
these absolutely free iowers.-Boston

The Three Cases Against R. W. Theo.
bald Dismissed by Judge Mogan.

Judge Mogan rendered his decision yes-
terday in the three cases OF misderneanor
embeZzlement against r. W. Theobald. in
which Charles Sladky. ex-proprietor Of
the Hammam Baths. was the complain
ing witness. The amounts alleged 10
have been embeZZled were SIS 40, $37 and
SIS all on August 6. 1895.
The Judge dismissed the cases He said
II had been shown that on August %.
1885. a balance had been struck between
Theobald and Sladky and $3.50 was the
amount due. Theobald and his mother
had as security for that amount assigned
to Sladky their interest in the Ben Io-
March II last that Sadky had sworn to
the complaints for Theobald's arrest a
few days after the Ben Lomond Ranch
Company had brought suit against Sladky
for an accounting, showing that there
was something in the claim OF the de-
fense that Theobald's arrest was actuated
