that the epithets are true.
Thousands of insects, particularly
bees, swarm among the fowery mas

root, and when frozen down during
the winter cold, these roots send up
again vigorous sprouts in early spring.

Nursing mothers and over burdened
women in all stations of life, whose

mothers will find it especially valuable
in sustaining their strength and promot-

It priceless boon to prepare the sys-
tenn for baby's coming and rendering
the ordeal comparatively painless. It

cleansing and pain relieving. It de-
stroys the bad odors arising from sup

them in the best possible condition for

In treating all open sores, or ulcers,
boils, carbuncles and other swellings, It
is important that DR.. Pieroe's Golden
Medical Discovery be taken persistently
to purify the blood and thereby remove
the cause of the trouble. Il Is in the
blood that the great battle Of health has
to be fought. The ulcer and the sore
are simply the scarlet flowers of disease,
with roots running down into the blood.
These roots must be eradicated or the
disease will break out afresh. ~0olden

AS Eli Sees It.

A correspondent of Coleman's Rural
World has had an experience with a,
hired man which is, unfortunately,
not uncommon. These careless tool
breakers are too numerous to be at all
pleasant.
Eli was chopping up an old apple
tree the other day, and was beginning
to realize that a man of 60 can't chop
as we'll as he could when he was only
80 years old. A young man came
down the road, climbed the fence and
wanted to know if Eli wanted to
"hire a hand" He was willing to
work for 81 week, and gave the
name OF a man he worked for last
year, so l ust engaged him for a week
and turned the ak over to- him. l
went over to the wood lot and fixed
up a. Little fence, coming back past my
assistant just at dinner time. He had
been cautioned that the wood must be
cut just Is inches long, but much Of
it was four inches longer, and he said
the ak was dull Now, even Ben
Blaze, who got mad at Eli bcCause
he would not vote for Ben for road
supervisor, would not accuse Eli If
using a dull ak, but we took it to The
shop and ground it. I went about
some odd jobs, and about four O'Clock
the new man came leisurely down to-
where [ was with the news that he
had broken the ak handle Anybody
is liable to break the ak handle. so
told him to help me clean out ditch
along the road, and the next morning
set him to work grubbing. [ furnish

with handle of hedge wood, and YOU
can have my new $14S hat if he did
not break that handle before ten
O'Clock. In the afternoon we drove
some fence posts and he dropped one
post on my pet corn, and just os we
got the last post securely driven, he
made a parting stroke and broke the
maui handle.
The next morning it was showing.
so he took his wagon and went to
town. l went in after dinner and

point of view, for not only does it
flower with more freedom, but the
bracts are of a richer purple in hue.
None of the plants exhibited by Mr.
Harris, as seen by me in 1904, were
in larger than eight inch pots and
some were in three inch pots, yet
every ONE was clothed with flowers
from base to top, some of the shoots
being over yard long. People
crowded around these plants and eX
carnations of their admiration seemed
endless The flowers in the open air
here in Florida are denser, much
brighter, clearer and dazzling. In my
opinion this is a plant of immense
value, not only for cultivation in pots
for the conservatory in temperate
cline, but also for growing in the
garden and even as a large plant in
tropical and semi-tropical regions.
Apparently it grows as well and will
bear the shears as well as a Privet;
add to this the beauty of it's flowers
(bracts) and it's free Towering nature,
also the fact that it is as easily pro-
pagated from cuttings as Privet, and
we have a plant which possesses all
that could be required in a fence
plant in warm climate. Indeed, a
veritable jewel for Florida gardens!
Mr. E. N Reasoner writes me
about this plant as follows:
"B glabra Sunderland does we'll in
Florida and blooms when small; it is
far ahead of the old b. glaibra, which
hardly ever blooms here (Oneco, Fla.).

brick red flowers, now doing we'll, but

saw it in several places in California
last year and as it is so different
from others, is particularly interest
ing. I like the B. spectabilis best,
and here is not ever in flower. The
color is the richest royal purple.
The last sentence indicates that
there is another and still more beauti-
full species that does well in Florida,
B. specta'bilis. l have lately not ex-
perimented with it, but the name Of
Mr. Reasoner, the pioneer of Orna-
mental horticulture in this state and
the head of a firm of worldwide
reputation, is sufficient to- take up it's
culture With confidence.
Antigonon Leptopus is at present
a solid mass of exquisite rose-color
ON many verandah. This beautiful
climber, a native of Southern Mexico,
is now a universal favorite in all
tropical countries. In its native
country people call it Rosa de Mon

Miguelito, and in his ''Note Book of
a Naturalist in the Island GUAM"
Mr. VIM. E. Stafford informs us that
this beautiful rosy creeper is called

FUNSTON TELLS HOW
HE ASSUMED CHARGE

Washington. May 8 The following
is quoted from personal letter receiy-
ed from General Funston by one of his
friends among the officers at the war de-
partment:
In taking the action did on the
morning Of the earthquake, marching
the troops into the city for the purpose
of aiding the police and fire depart
ments, knew that | was acting without
warrant of law; but the constitution and
the laws were not framed for the pur-
pose of dealing with the conditions aris-
ing from earthquakes and tremendous
conhagrations. Fortunately, We had a
el-headed lot of officials to deal with.
The swift and efficient work of the
army during the terrible three days and
nights of fire have made great impress
sion on people here. The orders to the
troops were transmitted by mounted
messenger, all telegraphs and telephones
being put out of business, but in an
hour and half we had them patrolling
the downtown streets.
The staff officers here have shown
up splendidly. and it would be hard to
make distinctions between them"

ANOTHER MESSAGE MAY
BE SENT ON STANDARD

Washington May s--The Standard
Oil trnst has fallen, indeed, upon evil
times.
President Roosevelt will send to con-
gress on Tuesday the second section
of the Garfield report. The first sec
ton convicted the trust of demanding
and receiving rebates. which is punish
able by fine under the Elkins act; the
second will charge that the Standard
Oil Co. has been guilty Of conspiracy
in restraint of trade and commerce, an
offense which carries the penalty of
dissolution and fine and imprisonment.
1t is the purpose of the department
OF justice to institute proceedings against
the trust and its officials, both on ac
count of its action in receiving rebates
and in conspiring to crush out compe-
tition.

BABY WAS
ABANDONED
LITTLE GIRL FOUND
ON A PORCH
Dining Car Conductor at Grand Forks
Was Picked Oat as q Good Man to
Bring Up the Child Lived Near
Depot.

Grand Forks. N. d., May ga girl
baby, probably week old, we'll dressed
and warmly wrapped up, was left on the
porch of the house at SIS Alpha avenue
last night. The house is occupied by
F. T. Jewell, dining car conductor
on the Northern Pacific, running b.
tween this city and Pembina.
Shortly after 9 O'Clock the cries of
the abandoned baby attracted the atten-
ton of Mrs. ]. r. Parsons, living next
door. and she went to the door of her
own home to investigate, with the result
that she found the baby on the porch of
the Jewell home, having been placed just
within the porch screen, the screen door
being left open.
She notified Mr.. and Mrs. Jewell of
the find, and the waif was taken to
Mrs. Parsons home. The baby was
warmly dressed, with flannel skirt and
underclothes, neat linen dress with
baby cap to match A quilted WOODEN
blanket was wrapped around the little
one and heavy shawl completed the
covering. Tucked beneath the blanket
and shawl was found bottle of milk,
and the loss of the nipple probably led
her babyship to raise the disturbance
that attracted Mrs. Parsons to the door.
Officer Benson was called and he
found temporary home for the baby
where it will remain until an investiga-
ton is made The officer describes the
baby as pretty one, neatly and warmly
clothed. with every indication that it
was abandoned by some one of evident
refinement There was not mark on
any of the clothing, and nothing found
that would throw any light on the aban-
donment.
The Jewell home is less than two
blocks from the Great Northern pas
senger station, and it is believed that
some one who arrived on one of the
several evening trains left the babe on
the doorstep to the tender mercies of
the world, and probably left either on
the same train or later one.

STANDARD OIL USES
DUMMY INDEPENDENTS

Columbus, O., May Sin a prelimi-
nary report of his findings as to the
methods of the Standard Oil Co. in
Ohio, Attorney General Ellis says that
though the Standard Oil trust. in obed-
fence to the decree of the supreme court
OF Ohio, reorganized in 1890. cancell-
ing the trust certificates then ontstand-
ing and putting all property they repre-
sented in the hands of the Standard Oil
Co. Of New Jersey, it has continued to
violate the Valentine Steward anti-trust
act just as before. In that reorganiza-
ton. he says. it incorporated depart
ments OF business separately. The Buck
eye Pipe Line Co, he says, does all the
Standard Pipe Line transportation, the
Union Tank Co. carries all its oil by
cars, the Solar Refining Co does its
manufacturing. while the Ohio Oil Co.
collects crude oil from wells in the field.
That these concerns represent the same
interests is shown by their tax returns
that are all made on the same day on
similar forms. and they are already rep
resented by the same attorneys.
