History Records No More Heroic
That Made Soldiers Preside
Under General Funston.

There has been unlimited criticism
Of the national guardsmen and they
have been compared unfaVorably with
their regular comrades. This is not
altogether fair. The California ma
tional guardsmen have the making of
splendid soldiers. They are not vet
Grams now, and It would take a long
campaign to make them 80. They we're
gathered up from the farm, the work
shop, mill, office and university, and
pushed into the smoke and confusion
under conditions more trying than bait
tie, and told to be as steady and show
as ripe judgment as the regulars. Like
young recruits on outpost in a lonely
land, there were times when the temp
tation to hear the sound of their own
rifles was greater than they could
Withstand. Most OF the stories OF
wanton shooting on the part Of any Of
the troops proved, however, on being
run down, to have originated in the
superheated imagination Of somebody
unused to the severity Of military
regime. It is q shock to a free, self.
governing American city to suddenly
see all law, all government, concen-
trated in the person of a young man
with magazine rife, pacing across
the street, stopping vehicles, pedes-
trians, civil officials, and all, and de
recting the coming and going Of all
classes with impartiality. It gives
the average citizen a peculiar aud per.
haps not altogether an agreeable sem
sation to have this young man shout

squad" and be made to contribute his
services for half day or more to
the general good, unremunerated. A

be directed by a mill hand with a
gun to take a broom and clean up a
furlong or so of sidewalk or remove
the debris Of brick building with q

FOR THE GARDENER.
The China Aster Seems to Belong to
Autumn and May Be Started
Outside.

The China aster is one of the flowers
which it seems to me belongs to early
autumn rather than to summer. Con-
sequently, do not deem it worth while
to plant it inside in order to hasten it's
period of blooming. l should rather
have these flowers through September
and the first half of October than
through July and August, but if one
wishes the early blossoms it is a simple
matter to start the seeds indoors, choos-
ing the Queen of the Market, which is
the earliest Towering strain of asters.
One can now get these in a variety of
colors.
During the warmer days the plants
will be greatly benefited if the boxes are
set on a sunny porch out of doors or on
the ledge of an open window. They
will thus be more vigorous and hardy
and will endure the transplanting into
the garden much better. Be careful not
to apply too much water to the soil,
keeping 1t barely moist but not wet, and
also do not try to force the plants too
rapidly in a very warm room. Most of
them will thrive better in a compare
lively cool temperature. Care must be
taken to shade the tiny seedlings as
they are starting, in order that they
may not be dried out through the direct
action of the sun. Do not have more
plants than can enjoy the full benefit
Of sun and air.-Good Housekeeping.
