verandas and great, cool rooms open to the air.
In the cottage summer lived two children with
their father and their mother and their friends, the
of Sausalito.
Nowhere in California, the home of beautiful flow

garden. They climb everywhere, the house and

the shingles with which the cottage is covered There

children loved the most and every morning
they would cut great punches of them and fill every
vase and jar in the diningroom covering the break
fast table, and even their mothers chair with the
blooms. But that before Chang the Chinese ser
want came to help about the house.
Chang silent as are most of his countryn1en
He ran about the house in his straw sandals making
sound unless he spoken Then he would say
"Me?-Yaes-velly WE'LL and go on about his work.
1t was he who reformed the arrangement of the
flowers in the dningroom, One morning the children
tered them the table. Chang watched them with
apparent unconcern but when they had left the room
he gathered up all the roses and took them out into
the pantry There he selected great pearl rose with
a long stem, got fiat bowl of cut glass, put
thing into it. and stuck the stem of the rose into the
substance at the bottom Afterward the children found
that this substance and that it stuck to the

That is the of the art and is considered
of the most valuable that the cultured Oriental can

VIM. Thornton Fined $50 for Stealing
Railway Property,

Mounted Policeman Creagh's inquistive
turn of mind yesterday afternoon led to
the arrest of William Thornton, about
forty-five years of age, on the serious
charge of theft. The officer was riding
through South Washington, when he saw
Thornton staggering beneath a heavy bag
which he carried on his shoulder When
called on for an explanation Thornton de-
clined to be obliging. and expressed his
contempt for the officer by using profanity.
Dismounting from his horse, Policeman
Creagh took the bag from the man, and
found that it contained several coupling
pins and brake handles bearing the stamp
of the Southern railroad The round house,
not far distant, was visited. and 1t was
learned that the things had been taken
from the yard. Thornton was sent to the
station house, where he remained over
night, appearing before Judge Kimball this
morning on the dual charges of theft and
disorderly conduct.
The court heard the facts from Police
man Creagh, and then called on Thornton
for an explanation. His statement how
ever. did not satisfy the court, and fines
amounting to SIS were imposed on him.
Imprisonment for forty-fve days was
named by Judge Kimball as the equivalent
to the fines.

F. A. wALPoLE DEAD.
Botanical Artist of Agricultural De-
partment Victim of typhoid Fever.

Frederick A. Walpole the botanical artist
of the Department of Agriculture, died May
II, 1904. of typhoid fever, at Cottage Hos
pital, Santa Barbara. Cal He was consid-
cred the best plant artist in the United
States. his drawings having been used to
illustrate various reports published by the
Department OF Agriculture and the Smith
sonian Institution, well as the narrative
Of the Hartman Alaska expedition.
Mr.. Walpole was born in Essex county,
New York, IN 1851. and at an early age
moved with his parents to Illinois and later
to Portland, Oregon. where he was en-
gagged for some years as artist of Htho-
graphic establishment. In 1898 his draw
ings OF plants came to the notice of tho
Department of Agriculture and procured
for him the position which he has since &C.
cupied. His method was to make lis
drawings from living plants growing UNI
der their natural wild conditions. His sum-
mers were spent mainly in the field. and
his winters at the National Herbarium IN
Washington. where he completed and per-
fected his work.
The greater part of his drawings remain
unpublished. including remarkable series
of colored paintings of the native poisonous
plants of the United States now on exhibit
ton by the Department OF Agriculture at
st. Louis. Mr.. Walpole's death Is regarded
as an irreparable loss to botanical science.
He leaves only son nine years of age,
his wife having died In this city six years
ago. The interment will be at Portland.

DENIES THE RUMoR.
Mrs. Claiborne Says Danes Will Not
Bar Daughters From Membership.

When the recent meeting of the National
Society of the Colonial Danes was in pro-
gress in this city a rumor was current that
resolution had been discussed which IL
carried, would have made Ineligible to
membership in the society all members of
the Daughters of the American Revolution.
The object of such action would be obvious,
since the danes have acquired the reputa-
ton of being the most exclusive patriotic
society in the country.
Mrs. Herbert A. Claiborne of Richmond.
Va, the president of the Colonial Danes.
says, however. that there was no such reso-
luton discussed during the meetings.
Many of the members of the Colonial
Danes says Mrs. Claiborne. "are also
members OF the daughters. 1 am member
and SO are several of the national officers
of our society and We have no wish to bar
from membership in the danes any of the
members of our sister society"
1t Is evident from this that the informa-
ton of the discussion of such a resolution
as has been mentioned was from a source
not in utilization with the daughters.
