LOST DURING HONEYMOON.
Couple in Philadelphia Become Sep

Experience

PhfladelDhia-"Is this the place
where you inquire about lost persons
in the city," asked an excited young
man who rushed into the Tenth and
Thompson street station. Sergt- Acker
informed him that he was correct
Are you lost or have you lost some
body?" Queried the police official
~I've lost my wife" replied the
young man, who said he was Edwin
Simpler, of Selbyville, Del. Isn't it
awful?" the DeIawarean continued;
we were only married last week and
came to Philadelphia to spend our
honeymoon. missed my wife Is
minutes ago. We were on Broad street
and as ! passed Fairmont avenue |
turned around to say something to
Mrs. Simpler and found that she was
gone.
Acker took description OF the
woman and Simpler was seated in the
sergeant's room to await word OF his
missing better half.
Fifteen minutes had hardly elapsed
before woman entered and told
Sergt Acker that she had lost her
husband.
His name is Simpler, is it not?''
asked the sergeant.

said, IF you Philadelphia. police aren' I

The Rose Garden and
How to Care for Ii

The amateur win find II advisable
instead Of propagating rose plants to
buy good one or two year old plants.
if he wishes to add rose bushes 10 his
garden. They may be had for low
pyices. The younger ones viii pro-
duce fewer flowers the first year, but
they win be very satisfactory and in
the second year will be at their best
They should be obtained when the
gardener is ready to set them out in
beds. preferably In April. although
they may be planted later. The beds
may be OF any size and form. 1t
should be in the open. where plenty OF
sunlight may reach the plants. II IS
an advantage to have It protected
from high winds. as there then viii
be less trouble from mIldew. The
soil should be rich loan, well drained.
When the plants are set out, thor
oughly water them. so as to settle the
soil well around the roots. Rapid
growth should follow. The only
further treatment necessary is to keep
the soil well stirred around the
plants II the summer Is dry ana
warm a layer OF pine needles or fine
manure may be put on che soil
around the plants. This would make
less cultivation necessary; the ground
would not dry out as rapidly. For
many varieties OF the rose which are
not entirely hardy an additional COW
ering should be put around the plants
for protection in extreme winter
weather. In the spring this covering
composed Of manure preferably
may be spaded into the soil and win
act as fertilizer. In covering the
plants for the winter care should be
taken not TO allow the tops Of the
plants 10 be bent down under the
weight OF the protective material ard
snow which may come later.
