During the past few years when
Shasta Daisies were being bred

state, more admiration has been
bestowed upon them by visitors
than upon any other Towering

and with good reason tor today
no other flower can compare in
extent of usefulness. Their first
qualification is hardness. They
can be grown ont OF doors by any
body where it is not cold enough
to kill oak trees. Second, they
are perennial, blooming better
and more abundantly each season.
Third, they can be multiplied
rapidly by simple division and
they are not particular as to soil.
Fourth, they bloom for several
months-in California nearly all
the year. Fifth, the flowers are
extremely large and graceful
averaging about a foot-more
often-in circumference, with
three or more petals of the purest
glistening wilderness, on single
strong, stiff, wiry stems, nearly
two feet in length. This particu-
lar grace and remarkable white.

The Children's Chase.
You remember. Kitty Keys,
You cannot forget, know,
How we chased the butterflies
In the land of long ago.
Happy children were we then,
On the Peacham hills at play;
Careless of the tolls of men,
Happy children all the day.
There we chased the colors bright.
Through the fields of waving green,
Der the clover out Of sight,
Down the sunny slopes between.
Little thought of faces tanned,
Fretted feet or frock's disgrace;
l, with ready hat in hand,
Laughing, leaping, led the chase.
Let the breeze of summer sing
How it met my playmate fa1r,
Like a fairy following
Here and there and everywhere.
Now! the beauty seeming ours,
Eagerly pounce upon
Nothing but forsaken flowers;
Far away it fiutters-gone,
Up and after undismayed,
still we faster, faster run,
Till-'tis where the maple shade
Bars our pathway from the sun
Kitty stops. hear her say
Answering my quick surprise:
II at keeping house will play;
You may follow butterflies"
Would your table wait me there
Berry-spread for my returns
Little did know or care
l, the beauty, could discern.
And l followed far beguiled-
Bound to catch the willy thing:
Till it seemed as though the child
Like his hope had taken wing.
Comes whisper lightly straying:
Round that maple-shaded spot,
Other little ones are playing
ktty's children are they not?
He who chased the butterflies
In tne play.fields of his birth,
Still is chasing flies,
Ger the deserts of the earth.
But he hopes to live once more.
When the years have done their best,
And the weary race is DER,
On the Peacham hills at rest.

unusually cold and rough, but Mr. Will

paper on Common faults of rural
Schools" in which she said reading gets
too little attention and poor readers are
the result; too many things are taught

scholars, too little expected of them.

EAST BARNET.
A Terrible Death.

The people of this place were shocked
last Friday to hear OF the burning and
death of Mrs. Emily Norris Bosworth of
Rochester, N. Y. She was alone when
the accident happened, but it is supposed
she was cleaning a sofa pillow with gas
oline in the kitchen and had an oil-stove
lighted, over which she had some fruit
steaming and it is thought the heat from
that iguited the gasoline. She ran out
doors screaming with her clothes all on
fire and when the neighbors saw her she
was rolling on the ground trying to ex-
tinguish the FIRE. One of them took a
quilt off the line and wrapped it around
her and put out the fire. She was taken
to the hospital Thursday afternoon and
everything was done for her that could
| be done, but she died from the effects OF
the burns Friday morning. She leaves a
husband and three children: Arthur E.,
and Raymond W., aged IL and 16 years,
and one daughter, Mary Claire, aged ~;
also two sisters, Mrs. F. H. Potts of St.
Johnsbury, and Mrs. Lawrence Snyder
| of Rochester, and three brothers, Fred,
Herbert and Arthur Norris. She was a
devoted wife and mother, and her whole
| life has been a beautiful Christian life.
Most of her life until she was married
was spent here, and she has many dear
friends that extend to the family their
heartfelt sympathy in their great attic
ton.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 13.-Today ten
cars on the Wentworth Avenue Elec-
trio line started towards the center
of the city. The first car was in
charge of Police Captain Shippy and
body of policemen, and each OF the
other cars was in charge of a lieu
tenant or sergeant and twelve po-
Gcemen. On the way the cars ran
slowly between two danse lines of
the strikers and their sympathizers.
No stones were thrown on this run,
bu there were jeers and cat calls for
the police and non-union crews. The
presence of the police on the cars
evidently had the approval of Mayor
Harrison, and this thought especial
ly enraged the strikers and their
frieGds. The cry was frequent all
up and down the line. Garter Harri-
son will never dare facs the south
side again"
All day the striking street railway
employees and their sympathiZers
have been active in stationing pick
cts along the lines of the railway
companies because of the desperate
efforts the company has made to
start their cars with heavily increas-
ed police protection. All day they
sullenly watched the preparations
that were being made to guard the
cars. Four teamsters have been ar
rested for attempting to block the
way of the cars. At one time five
union men boarded the cars and paid
their fares, and during the round
trip used their influence to avert vio-
ence. The cars that have been star
ted have made the return trip al
most on schedule time.

About four months ago a man by
the name of Curry Skeen. of Coving-
ton, Virginia, mysteriously disap
peared from this city. and it is very
likely that he was the man who was
found murdered a few days ago in
North Spring River with large
rock weighted to him.
Sheriff Higgins has been notified
and he has already communicated
with Sheriff F. NJ. Turner at Coving-
ton, Virginia, and with Mrs. George
T. McClintic at Midland, Texas. who
is a sister of the man Skeen. and he
will inquire as to the whereabouts
of the said Skeen.
The facts are given below.
About four or five months ago
when the RECORD was a morning
paper, two men came into the Rec
ord Office in the afternoon and in
quired for Robert 7. McClung. the
local editor, saying he was from his
old home in Virginia and knew him
well. The man that called for Mr..
McClung was roughly dressed and
was in a state of intoxication. He
was informed by Miss Helen Marsh
that Mr.. McClung would be on du-
ty at o'clock. Soon after Z o'clock
the stranger that was with Skeen
came in and asked McClung if the
said Skeen had been in. and claimed
not to know his name. The stran-
ger said, 'I came up from Pecos
three days ago with man, and we
have been drinking together. How
ever, | do not know his name. He
says he is from the same town as
you are from in Virginia and was
around this afternoon to see you,
and the young lady here told him to
come back at o'clock. He has
several hundred dollars on him and
l am afraid he will be robbed
The stranger described Skeen, but
McClung was not dreaming of see
ing Skeen, and consequently could
not think of any one that he knew
that answered the description. Alb
out o'clock the same night in walk
ed Curry Skeen. and he was in COM
pany with the stranger. McClung
said MY goodness. Curry Skeen,
where did you come from?" and he
replied, 81 came from Midland, Tex
as, where I have been visiting my
sister, and have been here several
days. | would have been around to
see you before this. but l have been
drinking and have not been able to
do so | heard you were in the news
paper work, and as you are busy l
will not bother you tonight, but will
here for some time and will get
position on a ranch or with some
lumber camp" AS he said good
night he departed with the stranger
and that is the last seen or heard OF
Curry Skeen and the stranger in
Roswell.
Skeen did not turn UP the next
morning. and McClung's suspicious
were aroused, as the stranger said
Skeen had several hundred dollars
with him. and a diligent search at
all of the hotels and boarding houses
the same day in Roswell failed to
find him. The next night all of the
saloons in Roswell were visited and
after diligent search the missing
man was not found. and McClung f.
nally concluded that he had left on
