Papagoes and Pimas largely subsist
on the fruit of this cactus. The stems
of this cactus grow from six to twenty
feet high.
Perhaps the queerest cactus of all
America is Cereus greggii of Arizona,
known to Mexicans as lara matraca.
Unlike any other cactus, it has a very
large tuber in place of fibrous roots,
and it resembles a great sugar beet
below the surface, weighing from two
to fourteen pounds. The stems are not
more than two to four feet high as
thick as a finger and covered with
very short spines. The tuber is me-
diCinal, used externally in Mexico. It
is the Arizona night-blooming cereus
fragrant, the flower white and large
as a saucer.
Englemann's hedgehog cereus known
as Echinocereus engelmanni, grows in
clumps of from. two to twenty joints,
having very large brownish white
spines, from one to one and a half
feet in hight It's brilliant rose-col-
ored flowers, very fragrant, appear in
April, and by the latter part of May
are followed by a. crimson edible berry.
Of the size and flavor of a large straw
berry.
"Opintia' is the prickly pear family,
of which we have many species of va
rious colors. The flat-jointed bea- in
some cases fine fruit, while the round
branched often twisted like a rope,
have a woody fruit unfit for food.
These are met with on the desert, ia
bleland and mountains But most of
these are seen together cultivated on
the cactus farm near Phoenix.

Samuel Milton Jones, Mayor of To-
ledo, o., whose death was reported in
the dispatches of July 70, was one of
the most picturesque figures in Amer
lean public life. He was elected
Mayor of Toledo as a Republican He
was reelected in 1899, 1901 and 1908 as
an Independent. In 1900 he was non
partisan candidate by petition for the
governorship of Ohio, but was beaten
The Golden Rule was Mayor Jones'
maxim in politics. For this reason he
was often called Golden Rule Jones' -
Though great friend of the poor, he
was one of the wealthiest men in To-
ledo.
He was born in Wales SIS years ago
and was brought to the United States
by his parents when he was 8 years
old. Even in childhood he was COM
PEELED to work on account of the pow
erty of his family. He made his money
largely in oil, laying the foundation
Tor his fortune in the Pennsylvania oil
fields. After his removal to Toledo he
became proprietor of a big manufac-
turing concern. He paid good wages,
and at the end of each year made each
of his employees a present of a check for
a proportion of the profits.
Mayor Jones was in favor of free
schools. libraries, baths, park and kim
dergartens, of an eight-hour work day,
with minimum wage of 81 so; of ade-
quate compensation for public fran
chises. and of non-partisan boards of
public appointment for the conduct of
all public Institutions. More than that,
he believed IN the universal observance
of the Golden Rule in the conduct of
all business public and private. He
said he knew this plan was success.
because he followed it absolutely in the
conduct of his oil and manufacturing
business and other enterprises.
This platform was not made of pa
per to support him merely during cam
paigns. 1t embodied the principles of
his life. He observed IL before he went
into public life at all, and he observed
it after he became Mayor of Toledo.
Some of His Epigrams.
Here are some epigrams from his
campaign speeches:
1T would pay us a thousand times
better to provide work for our own
people than to purchase instructions
from Spain"
Il do not believe that God intends
a man should waste his time looking
for work. Adam didn't"
Modern society is organized war
fare, and there is no hope of escape
from these conditions by more war
fare"
THE government must get rid Of
the last vestige of aristocracy."
Police courts are charnel houses for
the destruction OF human souls. You
cannot coerce people into righteous
ness"
THE word gentleman is becoming
intolerable"
THE Golden Rule is the original OF
every decree Of human liberty that has
ever been spoken. and only Is we base
our conclusions on IL and build our so
cial and political relations true to It's
eXacting demands can we hope TO make
any progress In the settlement of the
industrial question or to take one step

him down for vagrancy. We turn the
hose on him and then arrest him for
being wet. What kind of a system is
that?"
City Councils are just as good as
the people are, and let the people make
known what they want and any City
Council will fairly represent thena."
MIR. Jones' Eccentricties.
Many amusing stories are told Of
Mayor Jones' conduct in private and
official life, and the Mayor was fond
of relating some of them himself.
For instance he was an enthusiastic
advocate of physical exercise. Upon
one occasion, in an argument with
friends in the crowded lobby of Tole-
dos most prominent hotel, the Mayor,
in demonstrating his excellent physi-
cal condition, stood upon his head on
the tile floor, much to the amazement
of the large crowd surrounding him.
Some of his calisthenics before a
colored poet-Paul Lawrence Dunbar
created an embarrassing scene. Dun
bar was visiting the head physician
of the lunatic asylum at Toledo.
Mayor Jones happened to visit the in
stitution and was told that the poet
was there. He was delighted to be
given an opportunity of meeting a
man whose literary work he admir-
ed.
Dunbar" said the physician in adj
dressing the Mayor, lis upstairs and
is not feeling very we'll to-day; but
go up and see him, if you please"
Il know what's the matter with
him." replied the Mayor, as he ran up
the steps to Durbars room.
Rushing into the negro's apartment,
Mayor Jones rather Inceremoniously
opened the conversation by observing:
The trouble with you, my dear sir
is that you don't take enough exer-
else. Here is what you should do"
and the Mayor began a series of gyra-
tons and calisthenic contortions that
amazed the startled poet.
While Mayor Jones was swinging
his arms about and bowling and bend
ing, Dunbar was edging toward the
door. Finally the colored man gave
a jump and ran out of the room and
downstairs to his host. informing the
latter that an inmate of the asylum
was at large and that he must be
captured. Matters were finally
Strengthened out. and Mayor Jones aft
erward told the story with great glee
to his friends.

appealed to him in other ways and he
knows the plants wherefrom come
good fruit, those that bear good water
for the thirsty desert traveller and
those useful to the architecture of the
aboriginal householder. Arizona has
become the source of supply for cactus
for most of the botanical gardens of
the world. and this demand for plants
has increased till a lucrative industry
has arisen from what would seem to
the uninitiated one of the most I'M
promising floral fields of the world.
The most prominent of the cacti of
the garden is the saguaro 1t is one of
the landmarks of the desert. Its large
white flowers cover the end of every
branch in April and May, followed by
a greeniSh yellow fruit, which, when it
bursts, discloses a scarlet pulp filled
with black seeds. This is very nutri-
tious.
Another species of far greater use,
If not attraction, is Cereus thurberi
or PLAYA of the natives, which was
named after the late DR.. George Thur
Der. editor of the American Agricul-
turist of New York. Its northern
limit is 115 miles from Phoenix in a
southwesterly direction, and extends
into Sonora southwark. The flower
is white, nocturnal and smaller than
that of the saguaro.
The fruit of this species is of de-
licious taste, and for months is the
support of tribes Of Indians, who then
feast upon it, The pulp is also dried
for future use, and a syrup, as well
as an intoxicating liquor. is made
from the fresh fruit. The Yaquis,

BRYAN DISCUSSES THE
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Former Candidate Analyses the Planks and
Finds Them Sound

Lincoln. Neb., July 14.-W. j. Bryan
to-day made public the following
statement relating to the Democratic
platform adopted at St. Louis:
THE plank on Imperialism is posi-
tive, strong and satisfactory to the
entire party, and this question be-
comes the paramount issue of the cam
paign.
THE tariff plank is good. but it
was made so on a close vote in the
committee and largely against the OPP
position of Mr.. Parker's adherents The
plank which was voted down favored
"A wise. conservative and business-like'
revision. made with due regard to eX-
listing conditions The committee
thought that these qualifying words
emasculated the plank, and left it so
weak as to give no hope to tariff re-
formers.
1.-The antitrust plank is a good one.
It demands the enforcement of the
criminal clause of the criminal law
against the trusts; it demands the
abolition of rebates and discrimina-
tions, and it demands the withdrawal
of the interstate commerce privileges
from trusts when once convicted.
THE plank is infinitely superior to
the Republican plank, and with d
President who desired to destroy the
trusts. would be a sufficient plank.
but as this trust plank was also SUBJ
stituted by the full committee. there
is reason to fear that it may not be in
keeping with the ideas of the candi-
date
1.-The labor, plank is all that could
be desired. 1t declares against gov

May Open Richmond Branch.

Richmond, Va, July 14.-Accordng
to a telegram from Norfolk, Armour &
Co. will open a branch slaughterng
house here to relieve the meat situation
in Virginia during the Western pack
ing house strike. At the local branch
of Armour & Co, however, nothing
had been heard of such contemplated
move. The prices of meats here have
risen very little, so far. Pork remains
at the ante-strike figure. There are
various and extensive slaughtering
houses already at this point and the
work there is practically unaffected by
the strike in the West.

eminent by injunction; it favors arbi-
tration and the eight hour day and
denounces the methods that have been
resorted to in the Colorado strike, but
as these planks We're added in the full
committee, some uncertainty exists as
to the candidates position.
THE platform declares in favor of
the reduction of the army. Upon this
the committee was unanimous. The
sub committee reported plank in
favor of an increase of the navy. but
this was stricken out in the full COM
mittee.
THE platform has a plank in favor
of the enlargement of the scope of the
interstate commerce commission and
in favor of irrigation.
THE general clauses of the plat
form excite no dispute, and the appeal
against the introduction of a race is
sue ought TO have weight with the
sober, thinking Americans.
ION the whole, the platform is good.
From a western standpoint, its great
est defect is that it makes no men,
ton of the money question. An at
tempt was made to secure plank OPP
posing the melting of the silver dol
lar, opposing the asset currency and
branch banks and expressing a pref
treince for the United States note
Ordinarily known as the greenback)
over the bank note. but having refus-
ed to put in a gold plank, the commit
tee was not willing to have any phase
of the money question alluded to.
while the motion to reaffirm the
Kansas City platform was voted down,
there was a considerable vote in fav-
or of its reaffirmation and the western
members of the committee, together
with a few from the South, stood to-
gether, and secured enough changes in
the platform to make it a presentable
document and worthy of the support
of the party"
