They took with them . Scotch collle

Times The collie and the cat nad
been warm friends for several years
and had fought each others oatues
with courage and impartiality.
After the family reached their new
home the collie was evidently lone
some. One evening as the family was
gathered about the open hre some re-
marks were made about this, and the
man of the house patting the collie on
the head, said: Il am sorry that we
did not bring George with US. You miss

peared. Three days afterWard ne came

Both seemed somewhat excited, and
the collie showed marks OF battle.

status quo was at onR resumed.
Out OF curiosity inquiry was MADE
by the family, both at their old resi-
dence and along the line Of the main

developed the fact that the dog ap-
peared at the old home, very deliber-
ately and very distinctly induced the
cat to start on the journey with him

GROWING HT-BLAcK ROSES
Secret Long Sought by Florists Has
Been Discovered by an Eng
lishman.

Florists in New York were greatly
interested in the recent announcement
that an Englishman has discovered
how to grow jet black roses. q feat
which has been vainly attempted for
many years. II a dozen Of them could
be offered for sale to-day in the city,
says the Baltimore Sun, leading florists
agreed that there would be no difficulty
In obtaining $1,000 for the bunch.
On q few estates along the Rhine
practically black roses have been
grown for the last ten years, but all
efforts to eliminate q reddish tint In
the center Of the bud have so far
failed. No secret has been more close
ly guarded by the German gardeners
than this one of developing even q
comparatively black flower. Visitors
are allowed to look at the bushes and
buds on special occasions, but what
ingredtent has been put into the soil
to bring about the abnormal color has
not been told even to close friends.
In California a specialist has also
been partly successful in producing
roses practically black, but, according
to announcement in London, 1t re-
manned for a peddler Of shoelaces to
attain perfection. 1t was said to-day
by New York florists that undoubtedly
the color is the result Of a chemical
introduced in the soil.
The same principle, however. is said
to be involved as in the development
Of blue hydrangeas. which are pro-
duced by putting iron into the soil in
which the plants are grown.
The black blossoms would be most
popular as indications OF mourning,
but it was agreed by florists that the
day is yet distant when any one Of the
freaks will be seen in their windows.

WORRIES OVER ROYAL SON
xxnx Of Spain Kept Track Of By His
Mother When Visiting
Abroad.

Prstty stories are told Of the anxious
mother of King Alfonso, concerning
his visit to France. She was so afraid
that he might wander astray In some
InsxplicabIe way in wicked Paris that
she wrote q letter In her own hand to
President Loubet, putting her son I'M
der his personal care.
She said that he was fatner and
knew better than all the others how
10 watch over him. She was so afraid
that he might hear and see things
that might make him too wise in the
wicked ways of the world. 1t was she
herself who chose the programme and
the subjects to be performed before
her son on the gala nights given at the
Opera and Coincide Franchise. Ell

dered II everything would be all right
in this independent republic OF France.
Everything was all right, for the
French have . cult for children, and
the young king is still regarded as a
boy, for whom all French mothers
have q soft spot, and this made him
all the more welcome, in that there is
no woman, even in the laboring class,
who does not know what an admirable
mother he has and how anxious she Is
to have her "Bubi," as she calls him,
return to her as worthy Of being called
her darling as before. It must be with
heartbreaks that a queen like the
queen Of Spain delivers up her boy to
the state, and to feel that he Is more
the son Of his country than her own.

LONG SERVICE OF FARMERS
Laborers in England Who Have Held
Places Fifty Years and
More.

There are some remarkable records
Of long service in the annual prize list
just issued by the Huntingdonshire
Agricultural society, which makes
monetary awards to the laborers who
have been longest in the employ of
their members on the same farm.
The list shows, says the London
Standard, that there is one man still
30 employed in the county who has
reached the age Of Is years. His name
Is Peter Sheridan, and he has been en-
gagged on the estate Of the dukes Of
Manchester at Kimbolton for As years.
But he does not take a prize, as his
length OF service. is exceeded in an
other case by ten years.
Another old servant, still at work, Il
Is; there are two "a years old, one 81,
one 6S, and several over so among the
competitors. The first prize goes to
Thomas Allsop, who, now IS years Of
age, has been on the farm o. Mr.. Harry
Cranheld, Of Buekden, for So years. The
second prize taker is George Allen, Is
years OF age, who has been 81 years
with the Heathcotes, Of Connington.
The third in honors Is Philip Win
terton, IS years old, who has been with
Messrs. Coleman and sons Of Wood
walton, Just half a century. His son,
Edward. 80, takes a prize in the Junior
laborers' class, having been 81 years
on the same farm as his father. There
are other cases Of laborers having
commenced work at eight years Of age.
