EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have no

at least 20 men were with them; where

which was much aggravated, despite my

From the Farmers Review: Those
who have grown the Ageratum in the
garden, where it is always admired be-
cause of its delicate and beautiful col
or, may not know that it is a good
winter bloomer. But it is. Indeed,
with me it has proved to be one OF
the best. It blooms profCsely ana con-
stantly Its feathery blooms are ex-
cellent for small bouquets, and in COM
binations with flowers whose colors
harmonic with its lavenderblue tints
it is exceedingly useful | look on an
old plant from the garden in late Sep
tember. | cut away the greater por
tion of it. In a short time new growth
came to take the place of the old, and
soon buds appeared, and the plant has
not been without blossoms since.
Everybody admires it, and do not
see how they can help doing so, for
daintier or ore lovely flower it would
be hard to find among all our ANIMALS.
By and by am goirs to root good
many cuttings from my old plant, for
next summers use in the garden. If
branches are laid down on the soil and
lightly covered with earth, roots will
be sent out at the joints, and after
ID little the branches can be cut away
from the old plant and you have an
independent plant which will come
into bloom early in the season, when
put out in the garden.
wonder, every season, why it is
that so few persons grow Celosia, or
Cockscomb. While we have more beau
tiful flowers, we have few that are
more peculiar or more brilliant in
color. Fifteen or twenty years ago
we had but one or two varieties. These
were red and yellow. Often they had
next TO no comb" and therefore were
often disappointing. But nowadays
we have several shades of scarlet,
orange, and the comb" has developed
into plumes and feathery tufts which
afford SO much variety that no two
are exactly alike; therefore we do not
tire of them because of monotony or
sameness. The little bracts which we
liant color, are very lasting; and if
the heads of clusters of flowers are
cut while in their prime, and properly
dried, they are very useful in winter
as "immortelles." A round bed filed
with Celosia will attract a great deal
of attention in summer, after it be-
gins to bloom. If the bed is bordered
with Madame Salleroi geraniums, the
contrast will be extremely pleasing.

ATTORNEY GENERAL GIVES
OPINION ON LICENSE LAW

Attorney General Hamlin has rem
dered an opinion that the law of 1901
eXempting soldiers from the payment
of license to peddle refers only to
honorably discharged soldiers of the
| civil war and restricts them to work
for themselves alone, and never in any
instance to act for another in any
capacity while enjoying immunity
from license fees. There has been
much controversy over this law.
The opinion Mr. Hamlin just render
ed which will serve as guidance for
all the city and town clerks of the
state in the future, provides that the
only soldiers who can take advantage
of the law are those honorably dis
charged from the war of 1861. No
regular army soldier can claim the
benefits of the statute. The opinion
in full is as follows:
BY the act of May II, 1901, all eN-
union soldiers and sailors honorably.
discharged from the military or ma
rine service of the United States are
permitted to vend, hawk and peddle
goods, wares, fruits or merchandise
not prohibited by law, in any county,
town, village. Incorporated city or
municipality within this state without
Il license; provided, said soldier or
sailor is engaged in the vending,
hawking and peddling of said goods,
wares, fruit or merchandise for HIM
self only.
Under this law | am of the opinion
Il soldier or sailor of the class there
in mentioned may sell goods from
stand or may hawk and peddle them
about the streets of city and from
house to house; but such persons
must conduct the business themselves
and for themselves. They cannot con-
duet business for other persons, nor
can they employ other persons to con
duet the business for them. The act
applies only to eN-union soldiers and
sailors of the war of 1861. y soldier
who was honorably discharged from
the regular army, and who is not an
eN-uniOn soldier or sailor. cannot
claim the benefits of the law. Very
respectfully, ii. j. HAMLIN,
Attorney General.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE NEEDFW .
TO THE COUWTRY'S PROSPERITY
Banker Frederick D. Holder Declares 1t the Thermometer of a
Nations Commercial Standing and that EUery Bank viii
Soon Habe to Haze a Foreign Department.

Dealing In foreign exchange has become a necessary
department for banks, and the number of national and
State banks that have opened exchange departments
has grown very rapidly. The time is near when every
bank OF any Importance must have a foreign department
20 supply the needs OF Its depositors and retain its GUS
toners.
The foreign GREATS that have been availed OF during
the past year to help pools in stock transactions have
been so large that European bankers have expressed
fears for the stability of our stock market and of our
financial arrangements to carry and finance the ship
ment OF our crops.
Foreign exchange is, so to speak, a thermometer OF
the Importance and prosperity of a country. indicating
the standing and magnitude of a nations commerce.
I'VE must not forget that our commercial success has
been encouraged by the means of loans extended to IFS
by all European nations. and conservative management
and sound principles are the two things most desired in
our advancement to the first place among nations.
"Of course we shall have our bad as well as our good
times, but this year seems destined to demonstrate that
our commercial supremacy is of the future and not Of
the past"
