An Effective Plant.

The elephants ear is a tender herba cious
perennial with very large, bright green
leaves, a native of the Sandwich Islands
1t is very effective as an ornamental bed
ding plant particularly useful for planting
around the corners of buildings and for a
screen for some Objectionable object 1t
is also effective in borders or beds and out
stems is remarkable. The height depends
much on the fertility of the soil and the
amount Of moisture at the plants disposal
during the growing period.
Often these plants grow to a height of
ten feet and the leaves are often three to
four feet long, while in poor soil they NAV
not be more than four feet high with much
smaller leaves. For subtropical gardening
the tubers should be planted out early in
June into thoroughly drained, warm, light
and rich soil. A plentiful supply of water
should be applied. especially In hot wealth
err and an occasional application of LIQUID
manure would do much for the NERVOUSNESS
mulch of well-rotted manure is of great
benefit. When cold weather begins or soon
after the early frosts all of the leaves
should be cut down to within three or four
inches of the ground and a few days after
this the tubers should be taken up and
exposed to air for few hours until they
become dry. They can beestored away In
the greenhouse or any other place where
they will be protected from frost and at
the same time In not too dry an atmos-
phere The elephants ear Is easily propa-
gated by the division of tubers, which is
usually done at the time of planting.

Balmat tells, seemed to be happy in the
thought that he could SO easily set aside

for Lucien. who had not heard the details
before the conference between himself and
the Mexicans. He said their offer would
be most tempting one had he been I'M
acquainted with the kingly office Even
then. he said, he was fiattered by the prof
fer. for it indicated that the family, in al
its troubles, was well thought of in Ameri-
ca. But, said King Joseph, I told them

not take single step for another
1t appears. however. that some of the
others at this forest court did not fully agree
with the ex-king, for Balmat recounts that
Prince -Murat and Prince Lucien (Charles
Luclen) both urged that the acceptance of
the crown of Mexico would be the entering
wedge of the great American empire of
which they had been dreaming. To this Jo-
seph demurred intimating that if his broth

world the proposition Of the Mexcans
would be of different import King Joseph
said that he (the he here undoubtedly re-
fers to the prisoner of st. Helena) would
take hold OF the Mexican proposition as
quickly as he would doff his chapeau, but
that as for himself (Joseph) there remained
no longer an ambition to wear the purple,

King Joseph, than ever l was in Europe
or ever would be in Mexico "
But while Joseph would apparently give
little consideration to the offer of the Mex
lean people for himself, it appears that he
did communicate with friends in Engi and
France and Spain toward the end of obtain
ing Napoleon's views. That the situation
was made clear to the former emperor at
his island prison, and that he was in touch
with his friends in America, is evidenced by
the fact that letters were received at Nat
ural Bridge by Joseph. saying that Napo-
leon was deeply interested in the establish
ment of great empire in the new world,
but that his more immediate concern was
his release from St. Helena.
That the great emperor of the French
actually hoped for and looked forward to
his eventual arrival in America may reason
ably be inferred from the last letter of Cen

On the next day, however, according 10
Balmat, the hunt was again taken up, and
this time Joseph Bonaparte had the salts
faction of killing deer. I'VE neared the
other end of the lake and several shots had
been fired by Goodar, but each time he had
failed to hit the mark. You are not an ex-
pert shot, colonel; let me try at the next

a big deer with antlers came into the lake
not more than eighty yards away and be-
gan to feed on the lily pads. King Joseph
steadied himself in the boat Che was in the
other) and brought the deer down. Hastily
we rowed, all of us, to where the animal
was struggling in the water, intending to
haul it into one of the boats; but the king
Bumped into the water before his boat got
near and carried the deer upon his Shout

to shoulders, and the water was not tod
warm, but he did not seem to mind It, and
was apparently very proud. That night we
enjoyed a fine meal of venison and King

TAFT TALKS OF BURROWS
 RACE AGAINST JOHNSON

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 12.-In an in- terview printed here today. Secretary Taft says. concerning the contest for Mayor of Cleveland, O.:
 There can be no doubt that MT. Burton's election Is of real importance to the city and the State of Ohio. This contest cannot be viewed with indiffer- ence by the Republican party at large. The continuance of a strongly in- trenched adverse organization in the largest city in one of the leading States of the Union. should be prevented. It is of the highest importance to the State organization and certainly the Republican party at large cannot help but view the situation with concern. "
 Has the endorsement of Represen- tative Burton's candidacy any relation to the election of successor to United States SenatorY' MT. Taft was asked 1.
 '-No. no; 1t does not relate to thaA at all."
 What do you think of Mayor John son as a public man?" was another question put to the Secretary.

FRENCH WIN VICTORY
GENERAL DRUDE SURPRISES MOR-
 HOGAN CAMP AND BURNS TT.
MoOrs Made a Stubborn and Brave stand But Were Finally Made
 To Retreat to The Woods.

Paris, Sept. 12.-war Minister. Pic quart today received the following dis patch from General Drude. commandant of the French troops at Casa Blanca:
 T am pleased to notify, you that, thanks to land fog, we have been able to surprise the Moroccan camp at Moors were disposed and fled to the hills, followed by the shells of our ar tillery and effective projectiles from the Gloire. On our side one man was killed and six were wounded"
 The attack was carefully planned and was based largely upon the observance of the Moorish positions from mili- tary balloon. The allied army, which was divided into two columns, left camp at o'clock in the morning leaving several companies of infantry to defend the base of Casa Blanca. The first column was composed of four companies of regular infantry, several companies of sharpshooters, a battery of artillery and all the cavalry. The second column consisted of six com panies of infantry and battery of artillery. The march was skillfully carried out under the cover Of a fog until half way to Taddert, when the fog lifted and disclosed several large bands of the enemy The allies then charged several large bands of the enemy at the point of the bayonet and although the Moors resisted with their old-time courage. they were finally compelled to retreat in the face of a superior force and both of the columns of allied troops advanced to Taddert.
 After the bombardment of that place by the French artillery as well as by the guns of the French cruiser Gloire. which fired seventy-five shells. the allied infantry advanced on the Moor fish camp where the enemy was making a steadfast stand. A short engage ment followed and the Moors fled in wild disorder pursued for several miles by the regular Algerian cavalry In the French service. The Moortsh camp was completely destroyed. The exact loss of the Moors Is not known as they carried away many of their dead The allied army returned to Casa Blanca
 When the Moors saw their camp in flames they set fire to all the farms and woods they could reach and soon the country surrounding Taddert was covered with smoke and flames. Gen. eral Druds who has recovered from his attack of fever personally conducted the military operations. When dis- astrously beaten the Moors disappeared among the hills.
