the Begonia Vernon and it's seedlings

doubtless be lost to the world. The
florist canont always grow what he
likes.
The amateur class, however, is The
great conserving element The COIN
mercia1 motive being absent, the ama-
teur can keep d variety whose flower
he likes even if the plant has poor
habit. Not poor taste but practical
reasons compel florists to discard
some of the finest flowers. Hundreds
of varieties of chrysanthemums are
discarded because they are too tall or
require too much stalking or disbud
enough together DIN the modern meth
Cd for cut flowers where the total sal
able product of a whole plant is one
tinbranched stem and one flower. The
amateur can afford to keep varieties
with bare or dropping necks if he
likes the flowers. He may be willing
ITO stake and tie such plants, and per-
haps he may like the droop of the
stems so much that he does not mind
the stakes and the strings. Perhaps
he likes the great hollow cone lead

There are certain classes and ideals
that are peculiar to the artist and ann

the daily changes of an expanding
flower in one of these artistic sections

This watching of daily changes is
one of the chief rewards of cultivat-

GOdkins Wins His Suit.

The famous logging suit Of
John f. Monahan against ohm
Godkins, which has been unning
the gauntlet of the United States
Circuit and District courts In
Milwaukee and Oshkosh and the
Court of Appeals in Chicago
since 1895, was decided in the
United States District court at
Oshkosh, Sept, 9th by the court
directing a verdict for the defen-
dant. The case will be appealed.
The suit was brought by Mon
ahan to collect SO, 200 which he
claimed to be due on a logging
contract. The costs involved in
the litigation are at the present
time over $4,000 in addition to
the amount that will have to be
paid the attorneys i'll the case.
In a contract made in October,
1892, Monahan agreed to cut
and haul to the Wisconsin river
2,5OO,00O feet of logs before
March 20, 1898. He hauled g.
100000 feet and placed them in
the river and left 100000 feet of
logs scattered about in tn e
WOO Is: He then brought suit to
collect the balance due on the
contract, So, 200. Payment was
resisted, on the ground that the
logs which had been left exposed
in the woods had been ruined by
reason of worms getting into the
wood. The first trial was had
in the United States District
court in Milwaukee, in Novem-
Der, 1895, and resulted in a YER
dict by the jury for the plaintiff,
which was set aside by Judge
Seaman. The case was again
tried at Oshkosh in July, 1896,
which resulted In a verdict for
the plaintiff. This was set aside
by the United States Court Of
Appeals in Chicago, and a new
trial was had in Milwaukee in
Milwaukee, in May, 1899. III
the latter trial the jury, after be
ing out for two days, failed to
agree and was discharged. The
case came up in the United States
court at Oshkosh, and after oc-
cupying the time for three weeks
was finally decided in favor of
the defendant yesterday Each
of the trials has taken from two
to three weeks, and a legion of
witnesses have been examined.

w. H. Stubbings out of Jail

The following clipping we take
from 4 a Chicago paper which
might be of interest to some Of
our readers:
Wilson H. Stubbings, who was
a prisoner in the county jail in
default Of payment of a judgment
for $l64, 919 in favor of Mrs. Pc
truella Durham, has been releas-
ed by Judge Clifford on habeas-
corpus writ. The law requires
that the board of the debtor
while in the Jail be paid by the
creditor holding the Judgment.
It was shown that Mrs. Durham
had not settled with the sheriff
for the last two weeks.
Mrs. Durham was the daugh-
ter of a wealthy lumberman who
left her a fortune of 100000.
Stubbings was her guardian and
she sued him for money loaned.
In April last he was taken in
custody for failure to pay. 1t is
said that he has trans ferred all
his property to Mrs. Durham.

It was harder than poverty,

On the roller suspended,

And it tapped on the wall like a

And daily took on more mixer

Until one windy morning,
Without any warning,
