sure that this particular voice stood
for face fair and womanly. Then he
would recall recent letter from his
son. Aunt Mary would come fora con-
sideration.
But finally an inspiration came to
him. Reggie was having a birthday.
Ellen, with characteristic heedlessness,
had forgotten this important event and
had arranged to join a house party for
the very night. But this should not
stand In the way Of proper observ-
ance of TIE occasion. Reggie should
have birthday spree, and the guest of
honor should be this central girl. with
whom the two children had held many
little talks across the wire.
She accepted the invitation sent In
Reggis's name. She rode out in the
runaS,out driven by the suspicious Tim.
who t:,d made unpleasant remarks to
his wife about old fools and pretty
girls And she finally entered the
door opened by Mr. Dickson himself
He gave a sigh of relief. which was
drowned In the tumultuous greetings
Of the children. She was just what he
had dreamed Of. but what he had not
dared to hope for. They had a merry
evening. and when the two children
were sitting down, one on either side
Of her. to hear what Reggie described
as corking goblin stories. the sound
Of latchkey fell upon Mr.. Dickson's
ear
He rose uncertainty; SO did Margaret
Baxter. and SO did the two children.
And that was the scene upon which en-
tered Charles Dickson, general repre-
sentative for the Excelsior Hardware
company, just returned from hard
trip on the road. He looked at his IA
ther, who flushed He looked at Mar
garet Baxter, who smiled. He looked
at the two children, who shrleked ST.
multaneously and made a rush at him.
When he had escaped from their
embraces his father started to make
the necessary Introduction, but the
younger man waved him aside.
"T have known Margaret for some
tme-in fact long before you knew
her When the children have finished
their frolic and gone to bed I-well. We
win explain this matter to you"
Mr.. Dickson. Sr.. looked from bis
sons dancing eyes to Margaret BaI-
tsr's flushed face and remarked dryly:
'Tt won't be necessary. And while
Miss Baxter Is finishing that goblin
story you had better telegraph to Aunt
Mary. Tell her she need not come.
We've changed our minds"

In the act of conveying food to his
mouth while eating dinner last Tues
day A. F. Goddard, guard at the
penitentiary, was stricken with paraly-
sis in the officers dining room of that
institution and fell to the floor in an
unconscious condition. He was con-
veyed at once to the prison hospital
and DR.. F. N. Carrier summoned to
attend him. An examination revealed
the fact that paralysis was complete
and but little hope was held for his re
covery. The unfortunate man is a
brother of Judge Goddard of the state
supreme court and is the father of Miss
Gertrude Goddard, until recently stem
ographer at the Fremont County Bank
and now visiting relatives at Burlin
game, Kansas. 1t was ascertained yes
terday that the afflicted man has
Bright's disease and that fact so COM
plicates affairs that fatal termination
is regarded as inevitable. Up to SIX
O'Clock last night Mr.. Goddard had not
regained consciousness and it is be-
lieved that he has but a short time to
live. Judge Goddard is expected down
from Denver at noon today.

q most interesting field OF thought and
work. AS good an authority in floral
matters as Eben L. Rexford presents
the pleasing example shown in the
cut through the Ladies' World This
shows flight of steps running up
garden terrace with alternantheras in
three colors on each side. There is a
narrow strip of dark red, a wide band
of light red, then another narrow band
of red and an outside border of
green and yellow variety.
The beds are kept closely sheared,
but the outside row is allowed to grow
to some height This has much of the
effect of the frame in a picture, serv-
ing to emphasize the brighter colors
and separate them distinctly from the
green of the grass.
The alternanthera is a low growing
plant which florists propagate exten-
sively In spring for carpet bedding.
1t Is of compact habit and II kept well
trimmed soon forms a thick, velvety
mass of foliage which gives solid
color effect such as few other plants
can produce.
Plants should be set quite close to-
Sether-not more than three inches
apart-and they should not be allowed
TO get more than that many inches
high.
There are several varieties-light red,
pink. dark red. yellow and yellow
green-all of which are pretty. but the
e3ear reds and delicate, soft pinks are
most effective In work of this kind.

Formal devices in flower planting. or

term it, seem to be attracting favor
again. In this style one may achieve
pleasing triumphs or perpetrate glar-
ing atrocities. Fanciful devices when
pushed to the extreme are rather a
dangerous experiment for the average
amateur. but when presided over by
good taste and good sense this form of
flower gardening may be not only very
handsome and uniquely attractive in
fts results, but it affords the gardener

The Missouri Mule.
rom the Chula (Alo.) News

From the Chula (Mo) News.
A mule from Chulu brought $3.50 on the
st. Louis market few months ago. This
mule from Chulu has as many ancestors as
anybody, but from now on. as far as he Is
concerned. there Is a full stop: the lid is
on. as Mr.. Folk would say. nothing doing
OF course everybody knows that Missouri
leads the world on mules. and Chulu town
leads Missouri. that's why we talk. A
mule colt will bring from S75 to 500 on the
streets Of Chulu. about 81 pound. They
are seldom offered for sale. however as q
mule was never known to get old or sick
A mule is always worth his flve-year-old
price, He can always do anything he could
ever do. At thirty-flve he looks the same,
acts the same. Is the same and matches his
five-year-old platonic thirty-second twice
removed accidental, half grandniece.
His noble ears and mealy nose,
His giistenfng coat and polished toes.
His fine straight legs and ribs Of steel.
His muscles tense as when you, feel
A monster warship's iron keel
His tendons OF the strength 1t brings
To twist q million catgut strings
He drags the battle engines forth
And proud to prove on field his worth,
He dies ike one Of noble birth.
A faith portrayed In form and face.
To divorce mountains from their pase.
He dies at last a giant king
OF all the creatures earth can bring.
And leaves no child his praise to sing.

class day poem In the chapel of the univer-
sity Samuel T. Harris was the orator
OF the occasion. Poet and orator made 50
favorable an impression on their fellow
members of the senior class that the latter
met on June IL and adopted these resolu-
lions:
Whereas. the exercises of our class day
have passed OFF In a manner both pleasing
and honorable to us a class.
Resolved, that we tender our sincere and
hearty thanks to Mr.. Samuel T. Harris,
our orator, and to Mr.. John M. Hay. our
poet. for the able and graceful manner In
which they have performed their respec-
tive parts.
Resolved. that we request copy of
the Grafton and of the poem to be printed
for private circulation"
A committee of three. including the pres
ident of the class. Joseph Henry Gilmour.
was appointed to wait upon the two gen.
tlemen concerned and secure the manu-
scripts of their efforts. with permission to
print them. Evidently the appeal was sue
cessful, for the poem and the Grafton APP
peared together in a small pamphlet printed
