SENATOR HOAR DIED POOR.

Lived in Boarding House at Washing
ton-Cottaxe HE Home.
It would be idle to impute to the
late Senator Hoar all the virtues OF
to deny him his share Of failings, says
writer in Booklovers Magazine. He
was very human man. His passions
were strong and his judgments posi-
tive. On some public measures he was
unduly dogmatic. Often he INDUCED
in personalities; his partisanship was
bitter. On occasion he could even be
waspish and distinctly disagreeable.
Ordinarily he was not only affable
but his courtesy was notable. Unlike
many Senators, he was exceedingly
approachable. He usually sat at the
head Of the long table in his commit
tee room, meeting all corners with ur-
banity, treating the humblest with as
much consideration as the mightiest.
Descendant Of line Of distinguished
ancestors running back to Roger Sher-
man, he early showed capacity for
high service. He died in harness after
service in Congress extending over
thirty years and was SO poor that all
this time he lived in boarding house
in Washington and had only modest
cottage at his home in Worcester. Last
February I overheard him say with
the utmost frankness that he could not
make small purchase because he had
found that his bank account was over
drawn and he must send his salary to
make it balance. It was just after
he had buried his wife. He left a
small legacy in worldly goods, but the
nation has seldom had a richer herit-
age in character.
That he should have been maligned
and misunderstood was inevitable. He
gave hard blows and took them freely.
He asked no consideration of any one.
He stood on his. own feet. He feared
no man, besought none and believed in
others as he believed in himself. This
does not mean that he was aus:ere; on
the contrary, he was one Of the kindli-
est of men. He was not ambitious In
the ordinary sense OF the word; he
cared little for the things which most
men look upon as prizes. Had he SO
desired he might have made fortune
at the bar and retired with dignity to
the bench, whose highest honors he
frequently refused.

Flowers In Waste Places.

You can grow flowers anywhere II
you only know the proper kind for each
location. There is no portion of the
earth's surface that cannot be covered
by some kind of plant growth, nor a
situation so desperate that it could not
be redeemed with the life and cheer and
color that flowers give. You have only
to select the right variety of seed and
you will find that there is no clay too
tough, no sand too hot and dry, no
rocks too devoid of soil, no winter too
severe. If you have a swamp and are
afraid of it, you can transform it into
water lily pond or bog garden. Ii
you own bit of woods you can fill it
with wild flowers. In the heart of the
biggest city ten inch hole can be
made in the pavement, as they do in
Boston, to cover the wall of the house
with vines. The slums have their win
dow boxes, and houseleeks grow upon
the singles of roof. Even the dump
heap that you pass daily need not be
an eyesore. Put package of sunfiow-
er, poppy or morning glory seed IN
your pocket, and scatter the seed over
he offending spot. And of all the
people who enjoy the transformation,
YOU will enjoy it most.-COuntry Life
in America.
