 To be sure: for hasn't Kentucky been cursed with layout quite as demoraliz- ing and destructive of public peace and order as the Tillman gang dared to be-? l; probably required assassination in both States to purify the atmosphere Kentucky has been steadily growing bet ter for several years and let us hope that the blood of the murdered Gonzales will put the mark of Cain indelibly upon Till manism in South Carolina

How Plants Protect Themselves.

Plants have developed almost as many dodges for perpetuating their existence as animals. only we don't so easily rec ognize them. Every seed. bulb or tuber is not merely a reservoir of material for the plant that is to grow out of 1t, but also a mass of fuel for supplying heat necessary to the sprouting seedlet. More than this. If you look at the early spring buds and flowers YOU will notice that those which are likely to be exposed to frost. such as catskins or willow and hazel. are well protected by thick GOV ering of soft material.

Beveridge and Complimentary Gifts

Boston transcript (RepO
 The action of Senator Beveridge of h. diana in returning to the company 300 shares of copper stock sent him as compliment Is not a sudden splurge of virtue for campaign purposes only, but is consistent with the young statesman's invariable rule of conduct. He accepts no railroad passes, telegraph franks or oth- CT complimentary" gifts. In other words. he is sensitive as to his responsibilities in office. His case is rare enough to make it worth noticing.
