why is it that some persons can grow
plants well under conditions where others
would fail with them?" Because the per-
sons who succeed have the "knack," which
being interpreted, means that they study
their plants and the conditions under
which they must grow them and adapt
the means TO the end In other words.
they do the various little things which
modify existing conditions to such an ex-
tent that it practically amounts to over
coming them. The person who really loves
flowers will work in all ways to make them
comfortable If this can not be done i'm
one way il possibly may i'm another and
the woman who sets about 1t with a will
will find the way to accomplish her pur-
pose. Sometimes so great are the Difficult
ties overcome that it really seems as if
the plants were loved into successful de-
velopment. And, indeed. in one sense. they
are. Without that love they would most
certainly prove failures.

indianapolis playgoers will have their
first opportunity this evening TO witness a
presentation of David Belasco's spectacular
drama, "Du Barry" with the distinguished
American actress, Mrs. Leslie Carter, in
the title role. The engagement at Eng
lishs is for the last three nights OF the
week with a Saturday matinee, and mol
cations point to series or very large audl-
ences. "Du Barry has been looked upon
as one of the greatest dramatic successes
of the last two theatrical seasons. 1t en-
joyed a phenomenal run in New YORK

and producer, has not allowed himself 10

Good Housekeeping.
There is one detail in which Americans sin

is the overlooking OF their houses with

this line, but "Oh. reform it altogether

little refinements and formalities that
seemed like affectations TO us, but which 1

Once, at table, when we asked her to take

we had much ado not to look amused-and

should have looked. In fact since she went
away we've used 1t among ourselves some

 Scottsboro, Oct. 23.-(Special. )-- Several mysterious fires have occurred in the Kyle Springs neighborhood in the past few days.
 Thursday night last, the fine barn, together with the entire contents, he property of T E. Sanders. was de- stoyed by fire involving loss of sew eral thousand dollars. On the next night. Friday. Pearl Sanders, a son of J, F. Sanders, lost his new barn by fire with everything it contained; also about thirty-five hogs that were in the barn for the night.
 The fires are thought to be of in- cendiary origin. The loss falls heavy on these two hardworking farmers. No clue as to who the guilty parties are. There was no insurance.

PUBLICITY AND SUPPRESSION.


 It is curious what different ideas pec- pie will have about a newspaper tell Ing or not telling the truth. Just let one make an untrue statement about a citizen, whether he or she is prominent or not. and see what a bobbery will be kicked up about it. It matters not that the paper itself was imposed on, and printed the article in good faith; that will not appease or mollify the offend- ed citizen. But just let a newspaper publish the exact. plain and unvarnish- ed truth about everything that comes within its knowledge. Let 1t print all that it can learn about the people, men nity, and the other bobbery would be as a gentle zephyr to a whirlwind com pared to the latter one.
 And yet in this latter case the editor has been strictly fair, truthful and impartial. He has shown no malice. has not exaggerated, and has not print ed a word that is not strictly true, but he would almost be mobbed, If not quite. if he printed all things that come to his knowledge, and just as they come. The truth Is that most people do not know how much they owe to newspaper forhearance as well as to newspaper energy and effort. That they are sometimes imposed on is true, and that they sometimes do harm in cpnsequence of the deception practIced on them. or the transformation fur nished them, even when the editor is careful and conscientious as man can be, is also true, for humanity is not perfect and human intelligence not in- fallible.
 And yet, if those who condemn the paper for sometimes making mistakes, or for being imposed on. would but reflect little they would see that there is a large balance on the other side of the ledger. They would see that fam iiies might be estranged. homes broken up. and friends and neighbors set by tue ears, if the papers should tell the acts and sayings, with names and dates, of all the people in any community. If 1t were possible for every person to hear everything that every other per- soF says, we may form some idea of Ea4 trouble that would ensue. If 1t were possible for each one of us to know what all others are thinking, there would soon be a cataclysm in this world of ours.
 The result in either case is just what would take place. on a smaller scale, if a prominent paper, with a good corps of reporters and correspondents. should set to work to get all the information 1t could about the people of both sexes and fetch 1t out in cold print. None but the newspaper people themselves know how much they hear and how much they fail to print Names and facts which would make interesting reading are suppressed because of the trouble that publicity would cause. Many an incident that prurient pub IIc would gladly read of never gets into type. Many a slip made by man or woman comes to the ears of the news paper man. but gets no further.
 People may complain that the news papers sometimes make mistakes{ and hat a& others they fail to print all the iews but many have cause to be thank uI for what is not printed
