For the Tin Weddjno,

The question, What to send on the
celebration of a tin wedding?" may be
solved to the satisfaction of some
puzzled shopper by the pretty water
lily watering cans shown in the large
shops. They are of enameled tin and
ccme from Germany. The can is made
to represent large water lily bud
delicately shaded from a rosy tint to
pale pink. The handle is formed by
curving green water lily stem; the
spout is also a stem ending In a par
tally open pink bud, through the per-
forations in which the refreshing
spray is scattered. The choice of the
water lily is particularly apropos, and
one of these pretty cans, which come
In various sizes and in different shades
of pink, and also in cream. would
make an acceptable gift to the woman
who does not happen to celebrate her
tin wedding.

IMPROVING ON NATURE.

For years the scientific gardener
has been gathering apples from pear
trees, and picking cherries and dam
sons off the same branches. and.
though the quest of the black tulip
has so far been in vain, the blue rose,
We are told, has at last arrived at
Kew Gardens. Years ago horticul-
turists were interested in the an
nouncement that nurseryman at
Essy, in Slavonia, had secured a wild
rose from Servia which was said to
give blooms of deep violet blue, and
that. after two years of cultivation,
the rose retained it's color. But there
is still an uncertainty whether the
blue tint was natural or produced by
chemical means, in the same way as
another horticulturist is known to
have produced black rose. Most
people will be content. no doubt, with
the red. red rose that sweetly blooms
In june and nobody will very much
deplore the failure of the efforts to
produce roses of black, or blue, or
green or any other unnatural color.
More pardonable. perhaps, is the
hobby of the man who would grow a
universal fruit tree. Even this, of
course, is contrary to all laws of ma
ture, and ought by natural law to be
abolished. But there is a farmer in
Herefordshire who insists. it is said.
on gathering-not grapes from this
ties, but pears and plums and apples
from cherry trees. Many years ago
the enterprising farmer grated these
alien fruits on to his cherry tree. and
oy careful cultivation the four
branches have been brought to full
fruition. Many of the visitors to
Naples have seen famous tree there
on which oranges and lemons grow
side by side,-St. James Gazette.

Place so men in any spot where they
see no other members of their own

astrous, so far as the maintenance of

where there is darkness for half the

privation, the ruin of good-felloship
is an absolute certainty.
The members of Polar expedition
are selected because they are strong

those men shut up amid the ice, ir-
active and with insufficient amuse

consequence. Recent literature OF
fiction has teemed with protagonists
whose claims upon the sympathetic
consideration of readers consisted
mainly In successful evasions of for
nal and constituted justice
His Early Career.
There is no lesson or moral that is
not perfectly obvious in Tracy's ca
reer and end. The dispatches say
that the members of the posse who
were in at the death are quarreling
over the geographical disposition of
his body-not than anybody is ami
mated by desire to give it decent
burial, but because there is a fear
OF crookedness in the dividing of the
considerable reward the state of
Washington agreed, to pay for the
cadaver. The most charitable and
reasonable supposition is that the
man was hopeless degenerate
that a fibre of his moral and ethical
being had been twisted and tortured
in such manner that he was without
consciousness of right or wrong ca
cept as they were distinguished by
the law which he spent the greater
part of his life in defying and violat-
ing.
He had lived under aliases here
and there. Some of his kinsfolk
have been described as good. gentle
jewellers in New York city. 1t is
known that Tracy was never a big
thief-never a man who went after
large booty-and this would seem 10
argue that he was simply a moral
anarchist, lacking In intellectual guiu.
ance. He was a thief in a small
way ten years ago in Cincinnati. and
afterward was in a punitive institu-
ton In Chicago. He went to Colo
RADIO in 1896, became a rustler. and
killed one man in quarrel and an.
ether in abiding arrest.
He afterward killed a deputy sher.
lift who tried to arrest him for the
earlier murders, was jailed in Aspen.
Col, escaped after stunning the gaol-
er with blow of his fist, became a
highwayman in Utah, and went to
Seattle to become the associate of
petty criminals. He drank and
gambled whenever he had money .
but was not dissipated with regard
to- women, although the northwest
towns like Seattle swarm with the
worst.
He Joined Merrill at Portland. and
there shot detective who tried to
arrest him for highway robbery. The
two We're captured, but Tracy stole
a locomotive, and managed to get
away for a week Of liberty before he
was recaptured. After conviction
he cowed his jailer with a revolver
and engaged in pistol fight with a.
deputy. That was his last fight be-
fore being taken to Seattle to serve
the twenty-year term, three years
ago.
There is no question that we shall
have Tracy on the stage, and. in the
course of few weeks, in the dime
novels; but the world in general were
better had somebody able to take
the mans measure. spiritual and emo
tionai, known him and observed him

Traey's Mental Makeup.

The pity OF all is that now that
he is dead, there is to be found no
body with an opinion worth having
who knew Tracy at all well-that is.
we'll enough to give us clear idea
o. the manner of man he was at
heart and in spirit. From what can
be learned, he would seem to have
been a very low order of being, o
cially and mentally; yet, one forgets
the ruthless wickedness of the man
III consideration of the unuuest,oned
courage and bravery and grit he dis
played. II is not easy to despise a
man who fought so valiantly against
odds that were reinforced by legal
right. common justice, and popular
sentiment. Whether he had any
emotions or not We cannot now
learn; but he does not appear to have
left any passing sentiment of regret
IN the hearts of those whom ne en-.
countered in life. He must have
known that escape was all but i'm.
possible; yet, he did not become ter
roriZed by mere force of numbers at
any time, and took chances that were
really brilliant in their daring.
II may have been that, in spite of
his ferocity, savagery, and lack of
conscience. the man took some intel
lectual JOY out of the flight. pursuit,
and battling that ended In his death.
With slim prospect of success, he
had run away from seventeen years
of prospective Imprisonment at hard
labor. To be recaptured. he knew,
meant an addition to the sentence,
even had he not effected his escape
by killing four men before he left the
confines of the Jail. Surely. he hao
nothing to live for; but just as sure,
