Love for His Master.

dead in battle, and his horse stopped
right there and would not move. Dur

but the horse attacked every conner fu-
riously with both teeth and heels. At
length they reported to Napoleon that
it seemed impossible. to remove the
body without iniuring the horse. Napo-
leon ordered a guard to protect the
horse and see what he would do. Dur
ing the entire night he stood by his
lust about daybreak, he shifted it over
from head to foot, and then the thought
seemed to daw nupon him that his mas

dashed off on a gallop, plunged into the
river Danube and was drowned. .

/ group. One division, known as Erio-
gonum, ildurishes on desert or semi
arid and sandy regions without alkali
They have bare, branching, thin and
often threadike stems, leaves, some
times woolly, forming a rosette at the
base of the stem, and spikes OF pretty
pink or white flowers.
Many OF the knotweed order, Poly
gonaceae, have peculiar, three winged
seeds as shown In our common dock,
Rumex crispus, whose heavy spikes OF
brown fruit hang all winter to feed the
birds. The broad-leayed dock Robtusl-
folus Is very similar. Medicine. The
Smartweed, Polygonum amphibium, Is
another, with pink flowers and smooth,
pointed leaves.
Most interesting OF the order, per-
haps, Is the most common of all, the
group called knotgrasses. The trail
ing knotgrass, Polygnonum aviculare.
Is found In dooryards, covering waste
places and rubbish accumulations with
an elegant laced carpet Of jointed
stems, and producing an infinite num-
Der of seeds for the birds. Certain
erect knotweeds also are not uncom-
mon. Most of the order have jointed
stems, which are sheathed by papery
coverings.
sALTBUsHEs AND GREAsEwooD.
An interesting group of desert shrubs
described In n former article are the
saltbushes: the shadscale, the Utah
saltbush: the Tumbleweed, Amarantiis
alba; the winter sage; the rolling salt
bush, Atriplex expansa, and the prick
ly pear, Opuntia humifusa, with rose
like flowers. All OF these may be used
as folders; but the CROSSWORD, Sarco-
batus yermiculatus, seems worthless
THE PIGwEEDs.
Many of our fall weeds belong TO
the order chenopodiacea, all weedy
looking and apparently worthless, but
supplying great abundance OF bird
food Ten kinds of pigweed were
found by the normals on the uni
versity campus and school garden.
The saltbushes are pigweeds, as are al
so the red-root, the amaranth, the
Russian thistle, and several mealy-
leaved plants that grow In cultivated
fields and on alkaline plains.
THE MUsTARDs.
The mustards, which have seeds in
pods. form another familiar group or
easy study, and OF well known medi-
cinal qualities. The water cress. the
black and the yelloY mustard, tho
shepherds purse, the false flax, Came
lima saliva with pear-shaped pods on
short pedioels, the bushy stan
leya plnatifida of the fields, with
purple flowers. long pods and cut
leaves, these are ali common and in
teresting weeds when observed and
grouped together. The radish. pepper
grass. etc, belong here.

there Is greater reason for studying
