which the dame from the Hub proudly re

that In Boston a conductor requiring a fare
from a STANDING passenger must stop the
car If requested to do so. This, OF course,
in q closed car, for on the open car nVe
sitting passengers and no "staudees' are
allowed TO each seat, with the curious ex-
ceptions that men may ride on the foot
boards. both sides of the car being open,
and men and women may stand on the
rear platform. 1t is really funny to hear
New York women, who at home rail- at the
custom Of having passengers stand between
the seats, make their moan as car after

gers, passes them on Boston streets. mo

the car does stop the conductor viii help

out the names of every one Of the streets

streets on opposite sides Of the way. Then
he will call out both. Some of the combina-

are given on the cars. But there are trans
Ter stations. If a woman has occasion TO

New York women do, at transfer points,
but otherwise she must go straight through.
She will probably find half a dozen ways

car travel IN Boston are curious. You take
a car on the street level marked elevated"

the elevated tracks. But then in a very
short time it deScendS into a subway, for
the truth is that the cars on the Boston

TO ROSES.
New Method of Caring for ~So-CaIIed
Hardy Bushes
z. Rexford, in Lippincott.

r. F.. Rexford, in Lippincott.
Roses are generally considered hardy
plants, except at the extreme North, but the
fact is, lew varities are sufficiently hardy
to stand the severity of winter north
of Philadelphia without protection. They
may come through safely for some years
in succession. Then a peculiar season hap
pens along and our bushes are almost
ruined by il. In order to make sure of
wintering them well it is quite necessary
TO protect them in some way. Some per-
sons gather the stalks together and wrap
them in straw from the ground up. This
method is not always satisfactory. The
best system of protection for the rose of
which | have any knowledge is that Of
bending the bushes down upon the ground
and covering them with soil to the depth
Of five or six inches. This plan, however.
is adapted only TO locations where surface
water will run away readily. Stagnant
water about rose branches in spring, be-
fore il Is safe to uncover them, will always
severely in1ure them In bending down
the bushes, preparatory TO covering them,
great care should be taken not to break
or crack the stiff and somewhat brittle
stalks. Make your bends slowly and gent
ly i'm order TO allow the branches TO accom-
modate themselves to the strain put upon
them. When you have them fiat upon the
ground, lay a piece OF sod upon them 10
hold them in proper position until you can
give them their final covering. Lay them
all in the same direction and as close to-
gether as possible to economic in cover
ing material. Old and large stalks and the
great canes of the climbing roses are ex-
ceedingly difficult TO manage without in
juring them. To avoid the risk OF breaking
them, as the result Of too abrupt a bend,
[ would advise heaping earth against the
base of the plant. on the side toward
which the stalks are TO be bent, and bend
ing the bushes over il carefully and slowly.
This substitutes curves for sharp bends
and greatly simplifies the work Of caring
for stubborn plants. If soil is used as COW
ering, let il be as light and porous as posi-
BILE. Leaves are excellent, IL one can get
enough of them. Lay boards or evergreen
branches or wire netting over them 10 pre-
vent their being blown away. The harder
sorts of hybrid tea roses should have their
tops cut of close TO the ground and be
covered with at least a foot of leaves, con-
fined within a pen Of boards o. an old box.

However bad the condition of the sugar

Lett CT from Fayetteville

Dear Editor:
 Thinking by your aid, 1 might give some information to the youth of Woodruff and sur rounding counties, regarding the opportunity of an education at the State University, 1 pre- sent the following.
 The doors of the University of Arkansas have been and are still open to the young men and wom- en of the state.
 The present term was opened Sept. 17th 1902 by an inaugural address of the new president, Henry s. Hartzog, l.. l.. D. and also the introduction of seven new members of the faculty re- presenting different depart ments.
 The purpose of the University is not only to train the intellect ual powers of the youth but also his physical being and moral character.
 It is never too late to enter, for there are new classes continually being formed. If anyone has put off coming on account of being too late, he has formed the wrong idea.
 Trusting this may be an ad- vantage to some one, I remain,
