The best means to interest the chill
dren in flowers is TO give them gar
den for their very own one that they
can plant and tend themselves, after
it has been dug and rolled by some
older person, and in which they have
been prompted to plant such flowers
that appeal to children for some in
herent reason. Children do all love
flowers, but not all alike, but prefer
those which for some reason, aside
from themselves, appeal to the in
stinct for knowledge which is i'm
planted deeply in every rational
child.
No matter who prepared the gar
den for them, the children should be
at hand AND the various processes
to them as they are perfor-
med. They should be told that to
dig up the soil for purpose, and
they may inquire, as one did Of me:
''Who digs the ground for the wild
dowers?" Explain that the various
plants and weeds or grass growing

artificial Ingredients of which it is
and we dig it up ever:
spring in order to replace them, and
. areate it in order that it may alb
'orb nitrogen, one OF the things it
must have.

JAMES SCORES PAYNE
He Defends The Paducah Custom House 10
q foreeful Manner

= Washington, d. c., Feb. %. TIL
House refused to adjourn in celebra
ton of Washington birthday and it
members participated in a genera
field day of debate on the army appro
priation bill. Speeches took a wide
range.
The day concluded with lively
discussion Of the Payne bill to abolish
customs districts. Mr. James, of
Kentucky, called him to account for
statements regarding Paducah, Ky.
II was easy to explain, he said, why
no customs were received there. 1t
was not port Of entry, simply port
Of delivery. He charged Payne with
ignorance regarding the whole sub
ject. To turn the matter of abolish
ing ports over to the president, he
said, was abdicating the Legislature
power. He had been informed the
president would turn the matter over
to the secretary Of the treasury, he in
turn to his second assistant and the
assistant like over to the janitor.
James then asked for assertions that
he (Payne) was against graft. He
recalled Payne's objection W h n
Gillespie, of Texas. wanted to read to
the house the proof of illegal combi-
natiors among railroads and remark
ed
The gentleman was not against
graft regarding railroads, but he is
against it when il comes to rivers.
He seems to have natural antipathy
to water" (Laughter.)
The gentleman from New York"
remarked Mr.. Payne. referring to
himself, fought to be very popular
in Kentucky"
''0h, we don't use water for any
thing down there but to float boats
on, remarked James. That's the
reason We want you to pull down our
ports.
Pipe lines are made common car
rlers and subjected to the regulations
of the Interstate commerce act BY a
bill introduced yesterday by Repre-
sentative Rhinock, OF Kentucky. Mr..
Rhinock said OF the bill:
The purpose is to force pipe lines
to accept oil from all wells and to
deliver to independent refners as well
as to the Standard Oil Company"

On Saturday and Monday nights
the Harmony Lady Qusrtette gave
an entertainment under the auspices
Of the Marion Graded School at the
School Auditorium. These people
came highly recommended BY the
Central Lyoeum burea, from whom
they we're engaged, but when a most
select and refined audience OF Marion $
best citizenship heard them on Sat
srday night We were convinced that
the half had not bocn told. They
are pronounced by the best musical
and literary talent Of the town at be-
NIX the finest artists that have ever
appeared in Marion. After their
srst engagement il was decided that
they were TOO good TO let go, so
hey were procured for second en-
gsgement.

Impression in our town. They ac-
eeptcd an invitation 10 attend church
Sunday night There Miss Gertrude
Kirksmith delighted the large audi
ence with "0hl Shining Light.
Not to say something individually
about these artists would be to make
an incomplete report.

manager of the company, played the
violin with master.hand and also
aid her part we'll ip the vocal quar-.
tstte.
Mise Gertrude kirssmith, the 10
loist, Was greA, also With the viola
and in the vocal quArtette.
Miss Lillian kirtsmith, IN her
sIrlish way, simply charmed tho aud.
ience with her auic solos and also
played an important part in the quar-
lite 81 instruments.
Miss Daisy Higgins, the accom-
PIANIST, besides being able 20 make
the piano fairly talk, was inimitablc
IN her solos and in the vocal quar-
tette possessing rare contralto voice
that had had splendid cultivation.
Mis- Alenc Dunbar Wcolscy, the
rcadcr. in her rend cring Of the
Preacher wife on the Frontier
and other selections simply had her
sudicnce at her mercy. and compelled
Il alternately to laugh, cry aud think,
three things that an audience likes
10 do. She too, sang beautiful
-oprano in the quartette
All these ladies impressed our pco-
pie very favorably, no, only a. al.
