PROFITABLE WORK

IL That OF Growing Niolets, Which Are
I'm Demand In Winter.
Florida Agriculturalist Our form
er contributor, East Florida, wrote
something OF her experience with Vio-
let's to Home and Flowers.
Niolets may do well in sunny loca-
ton through the winter, but we pre-
fer lath shelter over them in hot
weather. And as it is too much wo k to
take il down and put 1t up each fall
and spring, we leave it all the year
and they seem to like the partial shade
even in winter.
As all violet growers are invited to
the symposium, ! gladly accept the in
yitation.
About the FIRST OF September l have
the ground spaded and fortified, US
ing well decomposed droppings from
the poultry house. Then the ground is
marked off into rows abouta foot apart
and the plants, one in a place, are
planted the same distance apart.
In the evening the hose is turned on
the bed until it is thoroughly watered
This is repeated every second or third
evening during dry time, as violets
luxuriate in moisture.
Occasionally leaf mould is sowed be-
tween the rows, thus protecting the
violet roots and fertilizing them at the
same time The leaf mould intensi-
fies their color and gives the foliage a
deep green appearance. Soapsuds
from the weekly wash, SCOT from the
stovepipe and chimney, tea and coffee
grounds, ground bone and liquid man
ure all add to the size and fragrance of
the violet. be
In bed enclosed by wire netting,
perhaps the patch was 25x55 feet-five
California violets we're plInted, and
they bloomed and grew to their hearts
content They We'd with one another
in they length of their steams, as
though a premium had been placed on
stem growing.
After a time Russian violets we're
planted In one part OF the patch, and
they eventually crowded out their
neighbors, taking entire possession Of
the land, thus exemplifying the say
ing that possession is nine-tenths of
the law" In bossoming time they
were a mass of blooms as il magi-
clans wand had been passed over the
bed, and their fragrance was waited
on the air some distance.
The path afforded an abundance OF
violets from December until Easter,
and on one day I ,150 we're picked.
Violet culture is a remunerative EN-
ployment as the flowers always find a
ready sale, their beauty and fragrance
being appreciated by the tourists.
An abundance Of water, rich soil
and a sunny location, meet their re-
quirements exactly. .. 40.

the most attractive features OF the

reunion prove that the brigade will
meet again in the city, and prepa-a-

the reunion a great success. Capt. j.

mander of the brigade, would shortly
issue an official call for same on dates
convenient to the veterans and the fair

CAPT. MUITE HELD UP.
Mr.. Moote Refused Hold Up Hands and
Highwayman Fired, But Missed Aim,
Columbia State.

An unknown highWaynan, wear
ing a long black overcoat which
reached to his feet and enveloped
his body, and with a pair OF auto
nobilists goggles over his eyes, at
tempted to hold up Capt. E. S.
MOTIF, the we'll known Southern
railway conductor, near the corner
of Elrnwood and First avenue, at
$40 o'clock Tuesday night and
when Capt. Motto grappled with
him the local RafAes fred at him at
distance of a few feet and ran,
making his escape.
The young man passed Capt.
Motto without speaking and after
taking two or three steps beyond,
suddenly turned and in a gruH
voice ordered the conductor to stop,
and at the same time commanded
him to put up his hands. Capt.
Motto, thinking that he recognized
the voice of an acquaintance and
that it was a jest, turned and asked
what he meant by such behavior.
Another stern order to throw up
his hands brought him to a tull
realization Of the situation. He de-
manded to know who the man was,
Ibut was told that if he did not put
up his hands the robber would
shoot. Instead of doing as he was
told, Capt. Motto dashed at his as
sailant. attempted to overcome him
but the unknown retreated out OF
his reach and threatened to kill him
if he did not throw up his hands at
once. In his efforts to get a hold
on his man he. caught the robber S
pistol By the n1uzzle but it slipped
through his hand. Seeing that he
was unable to get his hands on the
elusive crook and thinking that ne
might get him in reach by srbter-
fuge. Capt. Motto held his hands
partly up and told the gentleman OF
the goggles, if he wanted them any
HIGHER he could come and put them
I'D: but instead of doing so he or
dered the captain to turn around.
This strategy having failed, ne
again rushed at the young man,
but his grasping fingers came just
near enough to feel the goggles on
the man yes and to cOse WITHOUT
taking hold Of anything. The
would-be highwayman leaped back
out of reach and at the same time
pulled the trigger of his already
cooked revolver; there was blind
ing flash and report. but the bullet
fortunately went wide of its mark
and the robber turned and ran at
; full tilt toward Elnwood avenue.
! where he turned westward toward
the baseball park and was soon lost
to view.

MIIIIonaIres sun In the Making

About thirty years ago the late Rev.
DR.. c. A. Bartol bought a large lot Of
shore land in Manchester, Mass. He
had it divided into two parts, and each
rart divided into house lots. After he
mad sold most of one part he had the
lots in the other half cut in two.
One day when he was overlooking
the work an old native OF Manchester
came along and asked him what he
was doing. On being told. the Man
chester man asked: How much are
you going to ask for them now?"
"Just the same" DR.. Bartol replied.
The other man looked at him in as
tonishment, and exclaimed: What
do you mean to tell me that you, a
minister Of the Gospel. would do
thing like that?"
The doctor looked at him. and with
one of those smiles which we who
knew him remember so well. said
MY man, God has got all through
making shore land, but he has not got
through making millionaires."

His Guests We're Gentlemen

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
just appointed a young man to a posi-
ton in the Bureau of Forestry who
can tell some stories which shed a
light on the finer character Of north
ern Tennessee. This young man, who
II a beardless youth, is the son of
lumberman, and he was selected to
keep camp through the winter when
the men were home resting from their
hard work of the summer and tutumn.
One day in the dead of winter eight
horsemen drew up before his hut and
asked If they could stay all night. He
assented. and not only sheltered them,
but the next morning he got ready a
fine breakfast Of corn pone and bacon,
with coffee, seasoned with condensed
milk and sugar.
The men were very grateful, but
they showed no signs of moving of,
and their host got uneasy as night
came on. The visitors were all heav-
fly armed with Winchesters, and he
had nothing but a pistol, so he al
lowed them to stay for the night and
again gave them breakfast Then he
