Ten Thousand For One Experiment

Burbank's achievements with the
daisy are more fascinating than a
fairy tale. From England, Japan,
Germany, Australia = everywhere
where daisies grew-he got seeds of
the best varieties, not few, but hum
dreds, thousands. These were care
fully planted and watched with clos
est care. They were all going to be
slain, but out of their death was to
come new daisy, larger, more beau
tiful, more hardy, and that would
flower in every climate perennially.
The result was his Shasta" daisy,
one of the most beautiful flowers
ever seen-of clear brilliant white,
great size, the centre of pure yellow
resting upon slender, yet strong
stems. Ten thousand seedAI required
for this one experiment? Yes, and
often the ten thousand become fifty
thousand before he gets what he
wants. 1t is this large dealing that
has differentiated Mr.. Burbank s
plans from those of other men, He
speedily learned that great results
are not to be obtained from made
quate methods. The ten thousand
daisy seeds were only a starter. Mil
lions and millions of daisies were
grown from these seeds, and it was
only after the experiments were
completed, and the habits of the
Shasta" permanently fixed, that the
experimental plants were destroyed.

TRANSFORMATIONS
Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing is Abandoned.

1t is almost as hard for an old
coffee topper to quit the use of coffee
as it is for a whiskey or tobacco fiend
to break off, except that the coffee
user can quit coffee and take up
Postum without any feeling of loss
of the morning beverage, for when
Postum Is well boiled and served with
cream, 1t Is really better in point Of
favour than most of the coffee served
nowadays. and to the taste Of the CON
noisseur 1t is like the favour of fine
mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee Is left off and
Postum used. for the reason that the
poison to the nerves caffeine has
been discontinued and In its place is
taken a liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements of nourish-
ment.
II is easy to make this test and
prove these statements by changing
from coffee to Postum. Read sThe

speech at the banquet given him by

most important event in the history

dated by United States Minister Al
fred Buck in the late '90s, when he
Issued his appeal to American resi-
dents to respect Japanese laws and
institutio&s, viii h made Buck the
NEST popular of Ministers.
Taft's speech is regarded as restor-
ing the warmth of the old national
friendship. The japanese who at
tended the banquet and who were
representative of all classes, are
unanimous in commencing the speech
as reassuring beyond expectations.
Taft's fearless and outspoken treat
ment Of the dreaded topic appealed
strongly to the admiration that Amer
lean sincerity has always commanded
here.
Marquis Matsukata, leading
member of the Elder Statesmen, said
that the speech ought to end all talk
of war, for it had voiced the true
feelings of both sides.
The speech of welcome at the BAN
quet was made by Baron Shibusawa,
governor of the Bank of Japan. He
said the japan csc regarded the Amer
leans as their own people and he
wished Mr.. Taft so to tell their broth
ers over the sea.
Secretary Taft's speech was in part
as follows
II wish to express my heartfelt
thanks for this magnificent evidence
of good will. Since my visit in 1905
Japan has been through a titanic
struggle, but peace is dawning. The
Americans are proud that Mr.. Roose-
welt, with the prestige of the Amer
lean Presidency, FASTENED the end of
a peace that is honorable to both
Japan and Russia.
Japan has proved as great in
peace as in war. She has taken first
rank among the nations Her growth
from hermit nation in fifty years is
a marvel to the world. The Amer
leans are proud of Japan. She has
always had the cordial sympathy and
effective aid of the United States.
The names of Perry, Harris, Bing-
ham, Grant and Roosevelt are insep-
arabic from Japan's attainment OF
her position as a world Power.

The word war is not allowable in

do not hold that war is entirely I'M
justifiable when international griev-

But war is hell, and only a great
cause which cannot be settled by
diplomacy justifies it.

old word for cabbage and "horye"

deliberate assimilation of the Latin,

SHERIFF KILLED BY A BOMB
Before Death Brown Said West
ern Federation Had Marked Him.
Told How He Had Been Swallowed on
Account of His Connection With
Steunenberg and Adams Cases.

Baker City. Oregon. Harvey K.
Brown, ex-sheriff Of Baker County,
died from wounds received in the
bomb explosion at his front gate two
nights before.
The Western Federation OF, Miners
was accused of instigating the death
of Brown in an ante-mortem state
ment made by the victim. Fhe out
rage was in many respects similar to
that which killed Ex-Governor Steu-
nenberg, of Idaho. The ante-mortem
statement was taken by the district
attorney, and was as follows:
i was on my way home from up
town last night when met man in
front of my house, and spoke. The
man made no reply. This man was
about five feet ten inches tall; his
weight was 165 pounds He wore a
brown suit and celluloid collar and
was clean shaver.
Il have been conscious of having
been followed for three weeks, and |
have no doubt that those who at
tempted my life are persons connect
ed with the Western Federation of
Miners, and that / was marked for
death on account of my connection
with the Steunenberg and Steve
Adams cases =
The town is much excited. Practi-
caily no business is being transacted,
and the people are gathering in pub
lie places to discuss the crime.
Brown arrested Steve Adams at
Haines when the latter was wanted
as a witness in the Steunenberg case,
and he testified at the trial Of Adams
in Wallace, when the latter faced a
jury ON the charge of having MUIR
dered a claim jumper. Friends of
the ex-sheriff say that he frequently
mentioned the threats made against
him.
