To the Flower Children.


Although the work taken up with
the children this season has not been
entirely satisfactory. having fallen
short of being success in the pri-
mary idea, that of interesting the chill
dren in the beautiful work of growing
flowers for the sick-yet it has been
very satisfactory in many ways and
has given pleasures untold to many
little ones. 1t has also taught them
that even very young children can
grow flowers, and when once they have
learned to grow them, kindly thoughts
for those so situated as to be unable
to do so, and the love OF giving will
follow as a natural consequence. 1t
has also given many who did not &C.
cept the offer this season the desire
to do SO next year. which is gratifying
In the extreme. AS before stated, the
work will be continued and hope to
enlist hundreds more of our little folks
in the band of beauty workers next
year.
The Five Dollar Prize.
In awarding this prize, many things
were taken into consideration. First,
the desire of the little worker to fill
all obligations, the manner in which
they grasped and entered into the soul
of the work. and their consequent
desire to help carry out the entire
plan as presented to them.
Second, the success attending their
effort to grow ANIMALS from seed.
Third, their success in transplanting
pansies and chdysanthemums.
Fourth, the care and cultivation Civ
en- all kinds of plants. also the ar
rangements of beds.
The Successful Ones.
The little daughters of Mr. and Mrs.
F. P. Nash, have been awarded the
prize; and the enthusiastic and faith
full manner in which they entered into
and carried out the work. consequently
the success attending their efforts, is
worthy of, and has given them. re-
wards compared with which the little
piece of gold which is but souvenir
to remind them of their success, is as
nothing.
Efforts Worthy OF Mention.
In the matter of transplanting, Miss
Dorothy Smith was most successful:
yet, as is ever the case, there were dis
appointments attending her success.
Her fine bed of pansies were attacked
by the pansy worm and considerably
damaged. Strange to say no where
else have seen pansy worm during
this entire season.

Whisky That's All

Son of Former United States Senator
and Attorney General Garland,
Warns of Whisky When
Caught
At thirty years, William Garland, son
of Augustus H. Garland, former United
States senator from Arkansas and attor-
ney-general of the United States under
President Cleveland, occupies a cell in
the city hall, accused of attempted rob-
berry.
"Whisky first; morphine second and
last
In those words he briefly told the
story of his downfall today Unshaven,
his clothing ragged and soiled, starva-
ton showing in his features, he sat be-
hind bars and wept as he warned 9TH
ers against the course he had taken.
Garland was arrested while lettering
near Hyman Berg's jewelry store in
State street, carrying a brick wrapped
in a newspaper. He has confessed he
intended to break the window with the
brick and try to steal some jewelry.
The story of a similar robbery was
printed in the paper that covered the
brick.
The prisoner said he had never tried
to be a thief before. He was trained a
lawyer, educated in St. Johns Academy,
Washington.
Boys" said Garland to the report
ers, tears streaming down his face,
'never touch whisky. Then you won't
want morphine
His hands trembled and his words
were broken. He said he suffered
agonies for want of the stimulant and
drug to which he was a slave.-Chicago
Journal.

The Foolishness of a Fool

'The anti-saloon leaders are not
without their troubles, also. While
protesting to favor the ballot for wo-
men in all local option elections, yet
they are at the same time distressed in
mind at the bare thought Of such
thing. 1t is generally believed that the
majority of the women would vote
against the continuance of the tax-pay-
ing saloon, and in such an event as the
passage of measure clothing them
with the ballot, what work would be
left for the Anti-Saloon League to do?
Presumably, the smaller towns and
cities would be cleared of the open, le-
gal and tax-paying, e-producing
saloon, and once they were gone, what
valid reasons could the collectors of anti
saloon church money give for asking
further contributions to put down the
saloon? Divine and Spirit News, Jan.

THE GREAT SOUTHWEST.

Southwestward the course of en-
pire is taking it's way. That regions
expansion is greater since 1900 than
it was prior thereto. Not only are
Texas and its two territorial negh-
bors on the north keeping up their
old gait, but Arkansas, Arizona and
New Mexico are showing an increase
not previously touched.

MAGAZINES
FOR MARCH
THE CENTUR

Two articles of kindre d interest in
the March Century are Sylvester BaX-
ter's plea for Art in the Street" and
Charles de Kay's description of "The
New New York Custo m-house." In
the evolution of this great building
architects and sculptors are working
to secure the maximum of utility and
beauty. The numerous pictures seem
to prove that civic art has made a
long step ahead-the civic art having
for it's chief end to make utility the
vehicle of beauty, which Mr.. Baxter
urges in his article on Art in the
Street" Pictures by Jules Guerin
and Malcolm Eraser of results al
ready accomplished add to the live
interest of Mr.. Bakers treatment on
the subject.
Recent death touches with pathet-
ic interest two features of the March
Century, the first of William Sharp's
"Route-notes in Sicily" and Joseph
Bucklin Bishops memories of his
friendship with John Hay. In this
Mr.. Bishop reveals sympathetically
something of the qualities hat made
John Hay SO loved and honored by
all whose lives touched his. Some
of the last work William Sharp did

tribution on THE Jews in Roum-
ania," by Carmen Sylvia, as she is
known to letters, while in her proper
person she is Roumania's charming
queen.
The March installment of Mrs.
Humphrey Wards Century serial is
crowded with incident, the coming of
Phoebe Fenwick to London, her
tragic disappearance, Welby's mar
riage, the death o fMme. de Pastour-
elles's husband, eFnwick's successes,
uuarrels and troubles. Mysteries

November the time comes, known to
hunters as the mad moon," when
the birds seem to be frantic in their
flights, as they have been known
many times to fly into towns and
even cities, where they generally
dash themselves against some build
ing or object, usually breaking their
necks in their mad rush for conceal
ment. Whether the restless nature
shown at this time indicates an in
stinct of the bird wanting to migrate
is not fully understood, but there is
one fact, however, and that is, it
scatters and mikes the broods, so that
~in-breeding to any extent is impos-
sible. At this period of the season
the birds will not lie close, so a dog
can find them, but flush wildly ahead,
before the dog has even had a chance
to make game. B. Cooper in Rec

limbed Lassiter. Jose casting his eye
about for way of escape, saw his
opportunity, and lodged round the
table, whereupon the Sheriff, who had
rushed at him, collided violently with
the Englishman.
When two bodies meet in such
manner it is usually the smaller one
which suffers; but in this instance, to
the establishment of the cowboys, the
Sheriff staggered backwards while the
smaller man stood like a rock.

ed John, in the most disagreeable man

whose ribs had severely suffered by
the scientific insertion between them

"Will your" said the Englishman
sneeringly, then do it."
He changed his position, his chest

and advanced his left foot a few in

AS the word was spoken, the Sher-

upon the Englishman like three

lunged at him heavily twice; but he

was parted skillfully, the second

was what his soul craved, and he ad-
vanced to the bar, where with the
praiSeworthy intention Of conciliating
a great man, invited the Sheriff to
drink. 1t was a serious blunder-not
that Lassiter had the least objection
to accepting whiskey from anyone,
even a Mexican at ordinary times, but
today he was on his dignity, and the
attitude of his neighbors forbade con-
descention, even inviting aggressive
measures. Finally, to complete Jose's
discontinue, he inadvertently trod
upon the officers foot.
