Here's a Rose for Mourning

From the New York Evening Mail.
Mourning roses may become poular,
now that Dennis Tapley, cripple, who
peddled key rings in the streets. and
whose hobby was the cultivation OF
flowers, has developed coal black
variety that experts say is wonder.
For ages naturalists have been trying
to produce a black rose, but never at
tanned their object. Tapley now de-
clares that by his method he has per-
fected bud with petals as black as a
ravens wing.
This, he asserts. he does without the
use of chemicals. He has named the
rose the Mourning, and he says 1t is
bound. to bring him wealth.

Stokes, his brother-in-law, Robert
Hunter, and others are at work
spreading the tenets Of Socialism

man who inherited his money instead
of earning it, and Hunter, who welded
Miss Stokes. worth several millions, is
referred to as obtaining his money by
marriage.
