PRUNING ROSE BUSHES.
Valuable Suggestions by Prof. 8. +.

versal Interest.

Next to rich soil, the number and
perfection of the blossoms produced
upon rose bush depend upon the way
in which the canes are pruned. Fig. 1

ance of the bush pruned just after
planting.
If every large specimens or prize
flowers are desired, these strong canes
must be cut back to two or three buds.
but if the bushes are grown more for
decoration or quantity, rather than
size, these canes must be cut as shown.
In allowing strong canes to come up
from the base of the bush, the lower
down they come the better. If budded
or grated, one must watch and de-
stroy any that start from below the
bud. as these will produce only single
flowers and take all the strength from
the shoots starting. from the bud or
graft.
As shown in the cuts, the bud must
be set below the surface of the soil four
or five inches, which will check this
tendency of the growth of the stock
and encourage a growth of roots from
the bud or graft.-Prof. S. 7. MAYNARD.

speak of him in whispers AS soon as
his wounds were healed he set out to
reap vengeance. He wandered over
plain and prairie, he hid among the
hills. he padded up and down the
rivers. He moved mostly by night, and
not week went past that he did not
tally at least one. He killed Wounded
Bird, Little Buffalo and Red Sum
three prominent chiefs. In one year he
killed thirty-four Sioux warriors. He
waylaid them by day and crept into
their villages at night, and Grey Eagle
offered twenty ponies for his capture.
dead or alive. In way he was a great
protection to the frontier. If a raid
was contemplated and it was discovered
that THE Shadow" as the red men
called him. was aware of it, the affair
was abandoned at once.
Old Harper's deeds of holiness were
counted by the score, but perhaps the bold
est was entering a village on the Repub-
lican river one night during a thunder
storm. He made use of knife and TOM
ahawk alone. and killed five men and two
squaws. When the alarm was finally given
he hid behind trees and Wigwams until he
had shot down six more warriors. thus
making his score thirteen. The fact that
no Indian dog would bark at him and
thus give an alarm was greatly to his adj
vantage. One night he got among herd
eight of them. During the two years that
he ran loose, as it were, he killed nearly
one hundred Indians, set fire to and de-
stroyed four villages, and caused the death
of about seventy ponies.
This record would have satisfied rhe
vengeance of most men, but Harper felt
that things were going too slow. He had
also figured it out that he had little to live
for, and he determined on a grand coup.
He had trapped for furs while wreaking
vengeance. and one day he appeared at a
frontier town with about $3.50 worth of
choice skins He also had a. pony loaded
down with plumber taken from the In
dians. All his goods were taken off for
powder in kegs and two horse outfit.
There was over two hundred pounds of the
powder. Before driving away Harper stat
ed to q friend that he was going to kill a
hundred Indians at once, but did not give
particulars. He Joined a. body of emf
grants and continued with them until well
into the Indian country and then cut loose.
HI left the party at night and drove off
at right angles to the trail, and no one but
the Indians ever saw him again,
A Sioux chief named White Bird was

dous explosion occurred. According to the
Indians it shook the earth for miles
around. OF the war party so were killed
outright, ten crippled for life, and thirty
burned and otherwise injured. Over sew
enty ponies were also killed.
1t was the heaviest blow suffered
by the Sioux tribe, and it resulted In a
treaty with them that was observed on
their side for the next five years with the
utmost fidelity. The body of the old man

of Clusters death there wera still among
the followers of Sitting Bull about twenty
warriors who were present at the explosion
and several of them were blind of an eye
or had suffered in their limbs. Sitting Bull
himself was not there, but he was carrying
a piece OF wood from the shattered wagon
as charm against any further tragedies
of the sort. He lost this iE his battle
with Custer and from that time on he
was plunged Ia despair and predicted that
his end would soon come. His second

THE POWDER WAGON.

When old Jake Harper left Missouri
by the Overland Trail to make a home
on the Kansas frontier, taking along
his wife and two children, he knew the
risks he ran, He was known as de-
termined, obstinate man, and one with
out fear Perhaps if he had never been
drawn into argument over the matter
he would not have made a move, but
when his neighbors heard that he wa
thinking of a change. and one after an
other sought to dissuade him, he sold
his farm in Missouri and Joined an
emigran train.
It was a Clear, case of pig-headed-
ness. his going at all, and his takir g
up a claim right in the midst of the
Indian country was nothing short of
criminal recklessness. The frontier was
dangerous enough, but he was miles
beyond it. It wasn't fortnight before {.
war party of Indians appeared and at
tackled. 1t is a matter of record that
the old man and his wife killed six
warriors. The children had been killed
at the first fire. When the wife re-
ceived a bullet the husband managed
to break through the lines and mount
horse and escape, though he was
twice wounded.
