FATHER GIVES AWAY BRIDE
Marine Band Plays Wedding
March - The Interesting
Event Described.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt, eldest daughter of the pres
ident of the United States, was mar
ried to Representative Nicholas Long
worth, of Ohio, at noon Saturday in
the east room of the White House.
The most distinguished statesmen
Of the land, lights of literature. lions
of society and captains of industry
men and women from every walk Of
life and from almost every cline and
corner of the globe-came to pay
homage to the happy couple and to
swell the throng at the most brilliant
wedding the capital has ever seen.
Thirty-seven foreign ambassadors
and ministers we're in attendance to
extend the Fluctuations of their SOW
ereigns and peoples. Cabinet officers,
senators, the bridegroom's colleagues
in the house and the intimate per-
sonal friends Of the Roosevelt and
Longworth families in Washington,
New. York and Cincinnati were in
cluded among the fortunate thousand
invited to witness the marriage.
ASSemDlage LIS Brilliant.
1t was an assemblage of the elite
in public and social life. Rivaling the
splendid floral decorations of the IA
NOUS state apartment were the gold
encrusted costumes and flashing or.
ders of the diplomatic corps, to say
nothing of the varicolored toilets of
the women guests.
The White House never looked more
beautiful than it did in its gala dress
of bloom and verdure. For more than
a week florists and decorators had
been moving tropical plants into place
and weaving garlands for the great
event. The result as revealed when
the doors were opened Saturday morn
ing amply repaid all the care and

Floral Decorations Ella borate.

The floral decorations were more
elaborate than any heretofore have
been in President Roosevelt's admin
istration. While unnecessary space
in the great apartment was not taken
up with decorations, as every inch
of it was needed to accommodate the
guests, two huge vases of rare design,
each filled with Easter lilies and fern
fronds, occupied each of the mantels,
and two handsome tables. one each
at the north and south ends of the
room, bore Jardinieres OF Towering
rhododendrons
At the great center windows, di-
rectly opposite the main entrance Of
the room and overlooking the east
terrace, a superb floral bower had
been contrived with exquisite skill
and artistic taste. A semi-circular
platform II inches high was con-
structed before the windows. On this
the ceremony took place, so that all
in the room had practically an I'M
obstructed view Of it. The platform
was carpeted in green, of handsome
design, and over the carpet was
thrown with artistic carelessness an
elegant oriental rug, designed in GU
rious and intricate figures. In colors,
red predominated. Banked back of
the platform and next to the windows
were palms, selected for the beauty
and closeness of their leaves. This
group of palms was fringed at the
base with astilbe japonica. Forming
background were dracena sanderii,
of green and white, and gorgeous
Easter lilies. Above the platform
there was garlanding Of greenhouse
smilax and asparagus, with scores of
the loveliest bride roses Nesting in
the green. The effect of the whole
was exquisitelv beautiful.
The decorations of the main CORR
dor were beautifully artistic. The
inches were filled with decorative
plants, stately palms and tree ferns.
The two great jardinieres between the
columns along the corridor were
planted with handsome rhododendrons
in full flower The blossoms were OF
purple and pink and the plants were
so arranged in the jardinieres that
they formed a living screen just II
inches high. Behind this screen was

BARREN STALKS of CORN.

s - ~AA1AAS
There are two causes for the many
barren stalks found in the cornfield.
One Is the planting of seed Of such low
vitality that it is unable to do more
than send up a stalk and produce q
tassel. Another and more prolific
cause for the barren stalk may be
found in the lack. Of available plant
food, three stalks and sometimes four
being competitors for an amount Of
plant food which is only equal to the
production of one good stalk and one
good ear. This emphasizes the fact
that much Of our corn planted on poor
ground Is planted too thickly. It Is
easy to understand that these barren
stalks. carefully cultivated and cared
for, become in this manner the very
worst weeds that there are IN the corn
field. robbing the one stalk Of moisture,
fertility and sunshine. We are aware
that these barren stalks. which some
times amount to as much as 20 per
cent Of the stand Of corn In the field,
have been hitherto charged up to de-
fecdve and weak seed, but the more
we examine this question the more we
are convinced that it Is not 90 much

available plant food. This Is true: II

MANY PRESENTS FOR BRIDE
ENTIRE WORLD REPRESENTED
s AMONG GIFTS.
Fill Two Rooms at the White House
Some of Most Impor-~
i! tant Ones.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Presents
came to the bride from the occident,
the orient and from the middle world.
She is rich in gifts. and richer per-
haps in the knowledge that back of
the gifts was warmth of affection
and admiration.
The wedding presents fill two of the
upper rooms of the White House,
where they are guarded by detectives
and only the privileged few allowed
to- see them. They vary in actual
money value from the homemade gift
Of the family servant to the jeweled
present of the German emperor.
From all over this country there
came expressions Of the intention Of
people to send presents which may be
classed generally under the head of
freak" gifts The word went forth
politely that perhaps it were better
that these manifestations Of good will
should, not be sent, and as result
most Of them remain with the own
T President Roosevelt tried to let It
be known delicately that costly gifts
from the representatives Of foreign
governments should not be sent to his
daughter, but the intimation in part
failed of effect, and gifts were re.
ceived from various foreign sources
| that in intrinsic value are worth
something more than a small fortune
Cousins and other relatives to the
| last degree of kinship have remem-
! bered the bride, and watches, clocks,
pins, bracelets, vases, fans, laces and
| bric-a-b rac of all kinds and condi-
tions have been received at the White
House. The principal gifts are as
! follows:
The gift of the president and Mrs.
| Roosevelt to their daughter is a
corsage ornament Of emeralds and
diamonds.
Congressman Longworth's gift to
his bride is necklace of diamonds
artistically, mounted. The stones are
perfectly matched and weigh about
three-fourths of a carat each.
The gift of Mrs. Longworth, mother
Of the groom, to her daughter-in-law
| is diamond necklace. 81 ,-...
The gift presented by the vice pres
ident and Mrs. Fairbanks is full set
of Belique bouillon cups, exceedingly
rich in workmanship, the cup part
being of royal Worcester ware of I'm
usual delicacy, in stands Of beauti-
cally wrought silver, each cup and
stand being as high as wine glass.
The secretary Of the treasury and
Mrs. Shaw selected Sevres choco-
late set as their offering, the work
manship being among the most artis.

FARM WASTES.

The farmer can we'll afford to pat
tern after the manufacturer in the
matter Of being vigilant and inventive
In the way Of trying to utilize the
wastes of his business-waste acres of
land which produce nothing but weeds,
waste Of the fertilizers in the barn
yards, waste weeds in the fields, waste
along the line fences, waste for want
Of little thing, waste in granaries
and cribs from leaks and vermin,
waste in keeping and milking cows
which only just barely pay for the food
which they eat, waste in buying on
credit and running up store bills, waste
IN poorly stacked hay, wasted fodder.
in the cornf1elds, stacks, or rather,
piles, Of good straw spoiled for want
Of proper stacking waste in burning
green wood and Juggling, water where
the wind should force it where it is
needed, in trying to make first quality
beef and pork out of poorly bred and
often poorly fed steers and hogs, and
the waste which is inevitably asso-
ciated with a man being little be-
hind with his work. There is great
deld for work along all these lines, for
it Is the dollar saved as we'll as the
dollar earned which has much to do
with farm profits. The manufacturer
keeps the sharpest sort Of an outlook
for the wastes of his business and is
ever alert to adopt methods for the
utilization Of waste products The tail
ings Of the gold and silver mines, the
possibilities and economic value Of city
garbage, the Stag piles Of the blast fur
mace, the sawdust from the sawmills,
the offal Of slaughter houses, the grease
In the wool Of the sheep, have made
enormous fortunes for the men who
were wise enough to take hold Of these
heretofore waste products, while cot
ton seed, once used as fertilizer alone,
coal tar and the byproducts Of corn
used in the glucose factories represent
millions of money invested and other
millions in annual dividends. A man
is always well and periodically en-
gagged when he devises method to
prevent or utilize a waste, and no
where in the whole country is there q
larger field for effort along this line
than on the farms Of the country. The
wastes on many western farm would
constitute a good years income for the

AWFUL BILLS.

The doctors, before the formal
monthly session of the medical 50
ciety opened, talked about the bill
for $4,000 recently presented to tn,
estate of a dead millionaire by a ia
nous physician.
"A big fee?" said an eye specialist,
Yes: it was big fee. There are
men who, working ten hours day
their whole lives long, don't earn SO
much money. At the same time 1t
was not. historically speaking, a big
fee at all.
For history tells us, with an en-
vious licking OF the lips, that there
have been bigger fees.
For instance, Dr.. Thomas Dims-
dale. for yaccinating the Empress
Catherine III of st. Petersburg, got

year for life. Am

DIR. Gale Yowski. the ophthalmolo-

$4,000, with travelling expenses ana

THE GARDEN OF TOYS.

By the boreal pole where old Santa
Claus lives - 81 gk&
In his cottage of taffy and glass,
In the summer his sleigh is well
packed away
And his reindeer are pastured on
grass.
There the Saint reads his books
and the Saint smokes his pipe
And leisurely hours he enjoys;
But of mornings he goes with his
rakes and his hoes
To the beautiful Garden of Toys.
oh, the Garden if Toys is well plant
ed with seeds
OF every plaything that's out;
Long rows of tin whistles and horns
thick as thistles $40
And pop-guns, beginning to sprout
The marble-plant, too. is just bring

AS the Saint showers the lot from
his watering-pot
In the beautiful Garden of Toys.

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.

MAGNIFICENT Crop Return for the
Year 1906.
The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many of our jour
nails and public men to sit up and take
notice, to use current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
numbers of settlers have flocked to the
prairie provinces of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportuni-
ties are open to all who desire to avail
themselves of them. sss2
The greatest factor in attracting set
tiers lies In the inherent richness of
soil and suitability of climate for pro-
ducing what is universally considered
to be the finest wheat in the world
the mo. hard" of Canadian growth
and other cereals that rank in the very
first class. This year the sharvest re-
turns were: Wheat, 90O00,000 BUSH
sals; oats, 76,000,000 bushels; barley,
100000 bushels; and when it is con-
sidered that the entire population of
the three provinces-as evidenced by
the cuiquennial census just completed
lis only $4,000, it is easily seen that
the lure of the Canadian West is in its
agricultural potentialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district is within easy reach
of outside markets, and that good
prices for all lines of farm products
rule practically from the commences
ment of agricultural operations. This
is factor which did not prevail when
the earlier settlements in the West
were made in Canada and in the Unit
ed States, and has given great i'm
petus to Canadian Western settlement
in recent years. m
The free grant system of homesteads
which prevails in the prairie provinces,
by which every settler who is able and
willing to comply with the conditions
of actual settlement (by no means on
tlOuSJ Is RlN Gu NV tClCS lIct, cACtDt
$40 for entry, is great drawing card,
and in the last fiscal year gathered in
over $4,000 additional to the West
ern population, of which 57,796 were
from the United States.
The further fact, as is strongly
brought out by the agent of the Cana
dian Government, whose address APP
pears elsewhere, that a splendid COM
mon school system, practically free, pre-
walls throughout the entire country,
and is easy of access in even the most
remote districts, is another great in
ducement to the settler who has the
future welfare of his family in mind,
and this, coupled with the fact that
Western Canadian law and order are
proverbial. completes circle of good
and sufficient reasons why the tide of
immigration has set in so steadily to-
! ward the country to the north of our
boundary line.
