Dumas Love for His Portho..

Like Balzac, Dumas was fond of his

overwhelmed.

Fruit shade and ornamental trees,
grape vines and small fruits should
be planted as early In the spring as
the condition of the ground will per

the early spring rains and be ready to
withstand the drouth, which generally,
follows. They should never be plant

this will cause it to bake and harden

Peach, cherry. pear and apple trees
will often bud In transit, and If while
in that condition are Immediately
planted, they will hardly ever fail to
grow. When planting trees it has
been my habit to tramp the dirt
around the roots, but some prefer CIV
ing them water and settling the dirt
in that way. Both methods are prac-
teal.
Last spring we planted quite plat
of Cumberland raspberries early in
March. The ground would freeze
every night and we could only plant
during the afternoons. To our surprise
we had twice the growth this last sea-
son we have ever had before To be
able to do this one must have plants
from his own growing, as it would be
too early to ship them safely Straw
berries could not be planted so early,
as the ground would heave from freez-
Ing and destroy the plants.
My observation has been that the
early-set plants make the best growth
early, and that shallow cultivation
should follow setting, no matter at
what time the setting is done. One
should never plant when he has to
mud in" the plants. 1t is better to
heel in the plants and wait a few
days, as soil right for tree planting

GRACE SMELL WEEDS
HUSBAND NUMBER SIX

SAN FRANCISCO, June Mrs.

Coffin-Layman Snell-Love is the
name that tells the story of the
most married and oftenest-divorc-
ed woman in the world. For the
sixth time Mrs. Layman, who was
the daughter of the late Amos j.
Smell, wealthy real estate man OF
Chicago, has married in Ventura,
Cal. Her latest husband Is Hugh
M. Love. a young California news
paper man.
Miss Smell began her matrimon-
ial career in 1884, when at the age
of 16 she married Frank Hixon Cot
fin, a dancing master. They were
forgiven by her father, and lived
together ten years, during which
time three children were born.
They were divorced in 1884 on
grounds of incompatibility, but four
years later, at the bedside of their
dying child, they were remarked.
They were again divorced in 1899,
and the same year Mrs. Coffin be-
came the wife of J. c. Walker. a
hotel clerk whose voice she had
cultivated. She also gave him
$4,000 and then discovered that
he was not her affinity. They were
divorced in 1900.

Garibaldi, the great Italian patriot,
who died On the Island of Caprera

homage to his genius. There were
also some demonstrations in this
city, in Milan and in other italian
cities, where Garibaldi has many
devoted admirers.
