Beautiful Flowers of the Autumnal
Season.-Autumn, the season when the gol-
denrod and the Virginia creeper are in their
glory, is again with US. 1t is the one season
of the year when the seeker after the beautiful
in nature does not have to go into the gardens
to delight his tastes of sight and smell. With
the first cool weather the trees lose the coat of
green which they have worn all the summer,
and take on the flaming reds and yellows. In
the woods and along the streams are sights
made by Mother Nature which no artist can
ever hope to reproduce. 1t is to places of this
kind that one goes in this beautiful season.
Perhaps the most beautiful of the glories of
fall is the goldenrod, the admirers of which
are so numerous that it bids fair to be adopted
as the national flower of the United States Its
claims, perhaps, have been more strongly
pressed than those of any other flower. Few,
however, realize that it has more than eighty
varieties of which forty or more flourish in
our neighborhood.
Next to the goldenrod. in point of beauty, is
the Virginia creeper. Everybody is familiar
with its five-pointed leaves. which will become
brilliant crimson later in the month. The
delicious black huckleberry, with its spotted
oval leaves, may be found in rocky and moist
places. Another favorite with The young and
old is the win.ergreen, checkerberry, or noun
tain teaberry, which may be found in album
dance around Baltimore, as is the elderberry.
There are few schoolboys who have lived in
the country who have not vivid idea of the
resources of the stalk of the elder in way of
popguns and blowguns.-B Baltimore Americdn.

the terrible flood and hurricane in Texas, on
Saturday, September 9Th. Since then Capt.
Morrison brother, Mr.. Alex. M. Morrison,

sister-in-law in which she says:
"Our house fell on us about o'clock, but
we got out and stood near until George Ia SOM
could hitch to heavy wagon and take us over
to our next neighbour whose house was still
standing. The lumber was whirled all over
and around us, stunned the two horses which
fell fiat, and within two inches of George, but
he moved, fortunately.
"We are now living on the charity of q
friend-homeless, houseess, naked and ruined
utterly Bessie "a daughter) is without shoes,
as she started to walk the half mile through
the water up above her knees. She lost the
shoes she had on and the wind took the few
garments she started with.
1.-The house we are living in is the only one
standing for miles, and it is badly wrecked.
George is going to try to gather enough lum-
Der to build one room out of the trash, but, of
course, cannot hire help and will have to do
it with what help Bessie will be able 70 give
him. As oil crops failed because of the rains
that fell during the spring and summer,
don't know what we will do for food"
The above letter was written on Tuesday
after the flood. Capt. Morrison, who's 70 years
of age. is engaged in farming at Angleton.
Relatives OF the family here at once made ar
rangements to relieve their necessities.

Cincinnati, Feb. l4.-In the circuit
court OF the United states, Judge

mary injunction In both OF the cases
from Kentucky. Judge Taft COM
pleted the delivery OF his opinion at
300 p. M. and occupied less than q
half hour In delivering almost 1000
words. While thecourt held that no
Injunction would be issued under
these bills, yet IL also held that after
the cases had been heard In the state
courts, they could get In ON error for
review In the United States Supreme
court. After the decision was an
nounced. former Governor Bradley
and his associate counsel announced
that they were unable to state what
would be the next step OF the repub-
lican state officers of Kentucky.

consultation ln the law library after

mate possibility OF hearing of these
cases In the United States court as
indicated by Judge Taft, or of the
final result, but at present the coun-
sci could not say what would be the
next procedure.

In the District OF Columbia the au-
