Study Conditions.


ITO properly beautify our homes
the chief object is to cover up the
ground. Before buying plants study
the unsightly objects, such as white
washed fences, stables, outbuildings
land corrals, then put in stakes where
you need trees or shrubs to hide
them from the road or house. De-
eide what kinds of shrubs or trees
you need; do not use too many spe-
cies, but plant in groups of four or
six together. Having prepared a list,
select only young and vigorous plants
mot generally over two feet high. on
| IN such kinds as succeed with little
| irrigation or care. If possible
try and obtain some of our native
shrubs such as the holly Hetero-
meles), the sumach (Rhus ovata) and
the wild cherry (Prunus illicifolia) !;
they are evergreen with bright shin
ing leaves, shedding the dust in sum
mer. We may sum up by repeating
the following rules: Start onlyw
young. healthy trees and shrubs;
plant in groups to hide unsightly OBJ
iects; choose such plants as stand
ldrought; and, above all, never butch
er' or trim up, rather cut back and
Eshorten so as to induce your shrubs
to cover the ground.

TALES OF THEATRE

Miss Henrietta CroSman who will
be seen at the Illinois the night of
Thursday, March &c, was an army
girl. She was born at United States
post and spent her early life in gar
risons. Her childhood companions
We're the young West Pointers who
had had recently joined their regi-
ments, and they taught her to ride
and shoot until she was as expert as
they. Miss Crosman has always been
enthusiastic over out-of-door sports
for women, and she is not only
skillful horse-woman. but she is a
famous swimmer and yacht-woman.
Few persons can handle sail boat
with more readiness than she, and one
of her chief delights during her sum
mer holidays, is to go out in weather
which would deter many seasoned
mariner. Miss Crosman is a genuine
advocate of out-of-door exercise for
girls and women, and believes it is n
health giver and beautifier. The
gowns which Miss Henrietta Gros-
man wears in 1.-THE Sword of the
King" are maryels of beauty and ar
oused great admiration among the
women who saw them at the Grand
opera house in Chicago. They are
made from fabrics which cannot be
duplicated in this country. The exact
material is not in existence in the
United States except in Miss Cros-
mans costumes. All were especially
made for the Chicago engagement,
and are said to be far more hand

SHELLS CRIME is NOT MURDER
Slayer of Israel Greer Gets a Light
Sentence,

Lew Shell, who shot Israel Greer on
May 10Th, the latter dying two days
thereafter, will not be punished for
murder but, instead, will serve SEN
tence of one year in the changing for
involuntary manslaughter, such being
the verdict of the jury in this case yes
terdaY,
The verdict is generally approved,
as the opinion prevailed that the shoot
ing of Greer was accidental.
The case was entered upon IN supe-
rior court early yesterday morning and
occupied the entire session, the jury
returning verdict of involuntary man
slaughter at late hour.
Shell shot Greer while in the act,
either of handing him an old pistol for
examination, or pointing the weapon
at him while so doing. Greer asked to
see the pistol, declaring jocularly that
it would not shoot, and, with the
statement that it would shoot
Shell handed it over the counter to
the other negro.
OF course it shot, as all old pistols
and unloaded guns do when they are
tempered with.
1t was the general opinion that the
shooting was accidental, but if Shell
pointed the gun at Greer that fact may
have played q part in the result of the
trial. 1t is a misdemeanor to point a
pistol or gun at another, and had not
Shell done this, whether with or with
out intent, the bullet would have
missed Greer
Several hundred colored people wit
messed with greatest interest the pro-
gress of the trial.

semi-annual clearance sales of fue
clothing there were those who pre-
dicted that it would be a losing VEN
ture, inasmuch as fine and stylish
suits were sold below regular price
and often at absolute cost. But Dun

these clearance sales ever since. Yes
terday his forces went through the

A power of fearful, sweet suggestion lies,
We see it all-the pictur' that your mem ries

And the vision is so nat ral-llke we almost

The voices that were hushed but yester-

Would sleep through all the changeful,

To waken into melodies like Christmas

An to claim the ready tribute of our

Why, the robins in the naples an the 10

The brook that chased the trout adown the

An the swallows in their nests beneath
