gloves! He'd had a close shave and a shampoo,
and the massage artist had rubbed out some of the
swelEn from under his eyes. Didn't look much like
the haS-been that done the dive under my couch.
'Well!' SAYS l. This is where the private cinch
comes in, Ell? Doc, YOU We got head like horse
Il should think he'd be ashamed of himself
says Sadie running off with silly old woman!
The Sullivan temper had got the best of her After
that the deep lard all over the cook stove.
Aunt Title throws four cat-fts to the minute. Then
Doc steps up puts manly halfway round her
belt line and lets her weep on his Sunday coat.
By this time the preacher all broke up. He
was nice healthy-lookn young chap, one of the
strawbry- blond kind, with pink-and-white cheeks
and hair soft toy spanlels. 1t turns out that
this his first call to spiel off the spcin service.
Il trust" says he, that no one has any valid
objection to the uniting of this coupled"
L will convince you OF that" says Doc Pin
phoode, speakin up brisk and coc6y, by putting
to this young lady few pertinent questions
Well he did. AS cross examiner for the defense
he a regular Joe Choate. Inside of two minutes
he'd made torn mosquito netting of Sadie's kick,
shown her up for rank outsider, and put us both
through the ropes. " Now, says he with kind
of calm, satisfied, Ive-swallowed-the smile,
we will proceed with the ceremony
Sadie cryin' with the mad in her, she
bein hard loser at any game. You're an old
fraud, that's what you are" she spts out. And
you're just marrying Pinckney's silly old aunt to
get her money.
But that rolls off Doc like damage suit offm
corporation He had down and out. In five
minutes more he'd have two hundred pound wife
and fifty thousand-dollar income.
1t strikes me, says he, over his shoulder that
if | had got hold of fortune in the way you got
yours young woman, l wouldn't make any COM
ments about mercenary marriages
Well say, up to that time had half-baked idea
that maybe wasn't called on to block his little
game, but when he begins to rub it into Sadie sours
Doc right away.
Hold on there, Doc" SAYS l. I'm give in that
you've got our case quashed as it stood But maybe

When every blossom IS Plucked, and none is left
to produce seed, the vegetable species, whatever it
may be, is doomed to speedy determination. Thus
it has been with many of wild flowers, the most
beautiful necessarily suffering most, and the
woods and fields, erstwhile so gaily carpeted and
attractive to the eye in charming variety of colors
are left barren and unadorned.
To make the mischief worse, rural districts in the
wild flowers to supply the local markets, and the
efforts of the people engaged in this industry-foral
'pot-hunters," they might be called-are largely
accountable for the desolation in this respect of
many suburban regions. The holly has nearly gone;
the frnged gentan, ultramarne of hue, has all but
disappeared; and it is rarely nowadays that one
sees the lovely wild orchid known as the lady's-
slipper-almost the only conspicuous orchid native

DOPULAR sentiment in behalf Of the wild
Il flowers is rapidly growing. There is already
society for their protection which is gaining
members all the country, and of the States
awhile ago passed law forbdding anybody to
pluck otherwise interfere with the climbing
fern, the most beautiful of our native plants Of
this order, which though plentiful in former days,
has been weL-nigh exterminated through being
gathered wherever found for decorative purposes.
1t is the same way with the trailing arbutus
which in some parts of the United States is better
known as the May-fower. To extent it has been
protected by its inconspicuOusness but its dainty
little blossoms, which among the earliest har-
bingers of spring admired that at that season
of the year people search the woods for them pluck
ing everyone that can be found Thus, and through
other cause, the charming plant has disappeared.

door," saws Sadie. Shorty must stop this
It's out of nv line says |, but | II help.
We made a break for the front door and butted
right in lust as though they'd sent us cards. 1t
wasn't very light inside but down at the far end we
could see little bunch of folks standin' around
if they was watin' for somethn to happen.
Sadie didn't make any false motions She sailed
down the center aisle and took Aunt Illlle by the
arm She dumpy, pie-faced old girl, with
plenty of ballast to keep her shoes down, and lot
of genuine store hair that was pulled and waved
like the specimens you see IN the SlXth-aVe. show
cases She was actin kind of nervous, and GRIMM
a silly kind of grin. but when she spots Sadie she
puts on a look like the hired girl wears when she's
been caught bein kissed by the grocery boy.
You haven't done it, have your! says Sadie.

just as soon as the rector gets on his other coat
Now please don't Mrs. Winfield, says Sadie,
pettin waist grip on the old girl and rubin her
cheek up against her shoulder in that purry coain
way she has. You know how badly we should all
feel if it didn't turn out well, and Pinckney-'

Oh, yes, of course says Sadie, soothing her
down; but Pinc1ney says

RIVE THE WILD FLOWERs--By Rene Bache

to these 1atitudes, which was common only few
years ago.
Travelling by rail through the marshes of New
Jersey in late summer, one sees the otherwise I'M
attractive landscape gorihed by multitudes of pink
marshmalows exquisite of hue and somewhat
sembling wild roses. The winding stream banks
lined with them. and here and there whole meadows
are transformed by them into the loveliest of par
terres One longs for chance to disnount from the
train and pluck them. Yet, if such thing
practicable, all of this beauty would long ago have
disappeared 1t has been preserved by its inaccessi
bility. If the region within reach by excursion
lists, they wo,,d soon pluck the last marshmallow,
and nothing would be left but desert.
1t is against the people who are loudest in their
professions of love for wild flowers that the flowers
themselves most need protection

as though you were
ashamed of something?"
Say, it was a slick game
of talk that Sadie handed
out then, for she was play
in for time. But Aunt
Title was no come-on.
d" Null doesn't want to
wait another day says
she, and neither do |, so
that settles it. And here
comes the rector now. y
"Lookslike we'd played
out our hand, don't it?"
" Wait!" says she. Il
want to get a good look
at the man"
He was trailin' along
after the minister, and it
wa n t until he was within
six feet of me that | saw
who it was.
Hello, Doc!' says l.
So you're the dear
Multi, are your"
He near jumped out of
his collar, Pinphoodle did,
when he gets his lamps
on me. 1t only lasted a
minute, though, for he
was a quick recovcrer.
" Why, professor
SAYS he. This is an I'M
expected pleasure.
" | guess some of that's
right, " says |.
And say, but he was
dressed for the joyful
bridegroom part!-strip-
ed trousers, frock coat,
white puff tie, and white

some one else has got an int rest in these dons."
Ali" says he. And who might that be? 80
Mrs. Montgomery Smith, says l.
1t a chance shot, but it rung the bell. Doc
goes as limp a straw hat that's been hooked up
after dip in the bay and his eyes took on that
shifty look they had the first time l ever saw him
Why" says he, Swallowin' hard and doing his
best to get back the stiff front he'd been putin
up why, there is no such person"
No?" SAYS l. How about the one that calls
you Monty and runs you under the couch?"
It's he" says he. She's nothing to me-"
oh we'll saws l. that's between YOU and her
She says different. Anyway she's come clear up
here to put in her bid; it's moren fair TO give
her show. III just bring her in. /"
As l starts towards the front door Doc gives me
one look, to see if | means business Then Sadie
says, he turns the color of pie-crust, drops Aunt
Title if she a live wire, and Jumps through
the back door like he'd been kicked by mule |
got back just in time to see him hurdle five-foot
hedge without stirrin leaf, and the last glimpse
got of him he headin for a stretch of woods
up Connecticut way.
Looks like you'd just missed assistin' at case
of bigamy says | to the young preacher, as we
was brngin' Aunt Title out Of her faint
Shockng" says he. Shockingl' as he fans
himself with a hymn book. He was takin' it hard
Aunt Title wouldn't speak to any of u.s. and as we
bundled her into her carriage and sent her home
she looked as mad as settin hen with her feet tied
Shorty, says Sadie, on the way back, that was
elegant bluff you put up
Lucky my hand wa mt called says l. But it
rough on the preacher chap, wa MT it? He had
his mouth all made up to marry some one. Blamed

And who would you have picked out Shorty?"

sit just as close on the
back seat of one of them
big benzine carts as you
can on a parlor sofa; and
with Sadie snuggled up
against me l felt like
it was always goin to
be summer, with Sousa's
band playin' somewhere
behind the rubber trees.
First thing l knows we
fetches up at my shack in
Primrose Park and | was
standin' on the horse
block, alongside the bub-
bic. Sadie'd dropped both
hands on my shoulders
and was turnin' them eyes
of hers on me at close
range. Francois, was look
IN Stra1ght ahead, and
there wasn't anyone in
sight. So l just took a
good look into that pair
of Irish blues.
" What a chump you
are, Shortly" she whispers.
=" All, quit your kiddin -
says l. But | didn't make
any move, and she didn't.
-" Well, good-by," says
she, lettin out a long
breath.
A" By-by, Sadie" says I,
and off she goes.
Say, l don know how it
was, but I've been feelin'
ever since that I'd missed
somethin that was comm
to me. Maybe it was that
bull pup I forgot to buy.

KANSAS CITY on NEARING.


While there has been no doubt that
the western railroads have been guilty
Of unlawful determinations I'm favor OF
the Standard OIL company, the definite
proofs have just been put on public
record before a committee OF the Inter
state Commerce commission sitting at
Kansas City. The testimony before It
establishes beyond a peradventure that
the roads operating in the new south
western oil fields have maintained a
lawless and outrageous league with the
Rockefeller octopus in it's purpose to
monopolize the product Of that region,
in pursuance OF which a most intolerable
system of rate and other gross dis
ordinations has been mercilessly en-
forced against independent producers
and shippers. In nowise save so far as
the forms under which It was carried
on had to he varied does the system
exposed afresh differ from that by
which the giant monopoly earlier
crushed competition in the Pennsylvania
and Ohio oil regions and has since main
tanned itself. II anything were needed
to deepen the impression Of its criminal
character as shown by the documentary
evidence and the testimony Of witnesses
who have come forward to tell the
facts, that would be supplied by the
preposterous evasions and disclaimers
by Standard Oil officers and agents
summoned before the commission as to
truth obviously and necessarily within
their knowledge.
The disclosures at the Kansas City
hearing emphasize here in the heart OF
the west the vital connection between
unrestrained railroad rate discrimina-
lions and monopoly tyranny. But the
most startling feature is the extent to
which such practices have been carried,
in the very teeth Of the existing federal
laws prohibiting them, for the purpose
Of dominating the newly discovered rich
oil district in the southwest on the one
hand and the general consuming public
on the other.
In the light Of such revelations it is
no wonder the people of Kansas revolted
and put forth great effort for relief
through their legislature last winter.
But that legislation, although it has ac-
complished not a little, within the juris-
diction of the state Is demonstrated to
have fallen far short of a full measure
of relief, because the interstate charges
on which the oil producers depend for
an outside market are still subject to
manipulation. thus reinforcing the de-
mand for congressional action in con-
formity with the Roosevelt program.

sad Injustice of Suspicion.
Chicago Chronicle

In the death of former Speaker d. B.
Henderson we are reminded Of the sad in
justice there may be in a suspicion. When
Mr.. Henderson. at the height of his popu-
larity, refused reelection to congress and,
OF course, sacrificed the speakership and de-
clined to give any reason for IT, his decision
was generally suspected to be due to some
sort of scandal His enemies" 1t was said
have required him to resign as the price
of concealment." 1t looked quite natural
but the real explanation was that Mr.. Hen
dersons mind and memory were failing
Sometimes when he was in the speakers
chair he would forget who or where he was.
His reasons for concealing 1t were that it
would hurt him in his profession and that
he had hopes of recovery.
