HIS CONTRIBUTION.

Stories have been told of buttons, tacks and various extraneous substan- ces found in contribution boxes. but it is seldom that a church member strikes blow so severe as was that deliver ed bv Amos Budd of Potterville on one occasion.
 It was at the close Of a missionary sermon that Mr. Budd. whose wont It was to contribute 10 cents to each of the charities to the support of which the church subscribed, was seen to take a blue slip from his pocket and look at it keenly and affectionately
 When. after slight but evident hes itatiOn. he dropped the slip carefully folded. into the box, Deacon Lane who was passing it, could hardly refrain from an exclamation of joy
 ''The Lord will bless you. Brother Budd," he said when the sermon was over, hurrying down the aisle to over take the prosperous grocer

A CHRISTMAS BAZAAR
 SOME PRETTY BOOTHS
Conducted by the Ladies Guild of the Episcopal Church Last Evening.

The Ladies Guild of the Episcopal church held a Christmas Bazaar last evening in the guild rooms in the rear of the church. which during the course of the evening drew quite large num- Der of buyers of holiday novelties and useful articles. A pretty and varied display which only the ladies know well how to make and assemble filled the several booths. The rooms were specially decorated for the occasion and the booths erected bore the dis tinctly feminine touch. The doll booth presided over by Mrs. H. A. Tritle and Ms. Henry George was trimmed in white and blue colors. Among the other attractive displays was that of fancy work in charge Of Mrs. S. l.. Easterling. Mrs. George w. Vickers and Mrs. Holbrook. It consisted of aprons, handkerchief bags. rag rugs and many dainty articles.
 The candy booth was in charge of Mrs. Jesunoffsky and it's wares were nearly sold out early in the evening. A notable display was that of burnt wood work which was truly a finished product of art and e:osrt. It was placed on display by Miss Mcclellan. In this some booth was some very pretty hand painted chinaware. the entire be- ing presided over by Mrs. J. .. A. King and Mrs. Elizabeth Kendrick.
 The punch bowl conveniently placed was in charge of Mrs. l.. Morgan Dar- by. Beyond in roof decorated appro- priate to the style of refreshments which was of the Mexican cuisine in cluding tamales and coffe, were the dining tables under the supervision of Mrs Webster Street. Mrs. I. T. Stod- dard. Mrs. Frank Ainsworth and sev- eral young ladies. The drapings of the room were the national colOrs of ,he sister republic and Mexican 2e- rapes.
 The bazaar was very successfully conducted under the praiseworthy en- ieavor of the Ladies' Guild and many a bright and pretty gift purchased will make someone glad with the coming Of the Christmas time.

Early in life he became interested es-
 peciany in the cactus family and plac- ed himself in possession of about all 1 the information that could be procured
 plants in the botanical gardens of both
 this country and Europe. Germany be-
 ing lis native land, and having many
 relatives there now in similar lines of activity His medical education has been of great value to him and his original investigations have been of ! considerable value to medical men by his connection with well known schools and societies. He is a student by na- ture a-d lis work as a botanist and entomologist is well known among students. The doctor has turned thou sands of insects and thousands of
 plants into thousands of dollars in
 money. but the money has all been put
 back again into bugs and plants. As
 he pointedly remarked. money is only
 good to bur things with and he only
 wants to get hold of it to the limit of
 his opportunity of buying something
 useful" Doubtless he could buy more Q .
 but to get the money would be to sacri-
 flee valuable time from his studies, in
 commercializing the objects of his
 study. He sells many carloads of cac-
 tus in a year and by devoting himself
 strictly to selling cactus he might dis
 pose of a great deal more, but his
 greatest pleasure is not in receiving
 the check for the price of it; it is in
 knowing that he placed some rare
 specimens where they will do the most
 good. had the pleasure of studying
 these specimens and being able to give valuable information concerning them. and then if the check is large enough to enable him to secure more speci- mems. he IS satisfied.
 Doubtless the reader by this time ex- poets a detailed description of the cactus orchard" bGt if so. he will be disappointed. There is nobody in town 1 fully competent to describe that ex- cept pr. Kunze, and he is too busy getting more cactus, and raising his ! fruit trees, for he has side line of horticulture that is worth while. In general though. the cactus gardenis only a small tract of ground. two or | three acres peTHdpS, anu lS SuIIOuitueu l by a hedge of agave plants. Within the enclosure are thousands of cactus plants a description of which will not be attempted. At first glance. only a few are seen and the visitor may for a moment feel disappointed. but with
 the doctor as a guide the wonders of
 the place grow on the visitor as he ad-
 vances. Hundreds and hundreds of
 little plants. many the young plants of
 large varieties, but many more of va
 rieties that never exceed from three inches to foot in height, are met with few at a time. in beds under this tree or that. some of them in the protect
 ing mass of the native grass. some re- gently planted and some well rooted
 in their adopted homes.

KUNzE ANU CACIl
 SYNONYMOUS NAMES 5
A Few Facts Concerning Man Whose Life Has Been Devoted to. Scientific Research.

4 couple of years ago there was a story in this newspaper about the 'cac- tus orchard" O. Dr. P. E. Kunze, a half or three quarters of a mile south of the intersection of Seventh Avenue and the Santa Fe railroad tracks. A visit was paid to this interesting place thu, other day by a reporter for The Republican. and pr, Kunze extended most hearty welcome and devoted a couple of hours of his time to conduct ing personal tour through the grounds.
 Feeling that the visit might be an imposition on the time of man who is living to make every moment pro- ductive of some good result the doctor was asked if he liked to have visitors. He replied that his chief object in life was 10 acquire knowledge and paH it along to others who would appre- ciate it and make good use of it. He therefore welcomes every seeker after information. and will gladly tell the inquirer anything he can for his en- lightenment He has no time for trf- flers. however and in truth nobody else should have. It might be added. however. that strangers who visit the place should keep an eye out in ap- preaching. for his big black dog which is the best behaved animal in the world so long as he knows the visitor has been welcomed by his master, and comes quickly up to be Datted on the head, but a tresoasser or one who seems to be a trespasser is apt to be required to show his passports before he gets ver- far.
 Speaking again of pr. Kunze's desire to disseminate information, there is an illustration of it in the final dispo- sition of the remaining copies of a book he published on the cactus. He sold them all at a moderate price to d certain Chicago gentleman of wealth who is interested in scientific things and he in turn presented them to a large institution possessing a scien- tific library where they will always be kept available for consultation by sci entific men and not be ultimately lost in the second hand book stalls as many quite valuable books have been. The publication of his book like all his oth- CT employments. was for the diffusion of knowledge. rather than for financial profit. He has published other books but this is spoken of only in illustra- tion.
 The doctor is a regularly graduated physician and has good credentials. having been a former practitioner in New York and elsewhere. But his chief enjoyment is in original research especially along the lines of medicine. botany horticulture and insect life.

It Is more of cooking fruit than for uncooked table serving. having a coarser meat.

Morbid tendencies in most instan-
ces should be resisted, as they have
bad effects, especially is this true as
to children and young men and
women. Illustrating the insistence
that such tendencies should not de
allowed to possess the young nor be
gratifed, the Telegram praises the
following by the Baltimore Sun re-
lating to the recent lynching at Cum
berland:
The people of Cumberland are
probably as humane. as law-abiding
and as free of morbid tendencies as
the people of any community of the
same size in this country. Yet it
was stated In the SUMS dispatches

10000, Including many Sunday
school children. closely. examined the
body of the murderer as II lay at

an attempt was made to close the
shop, but the crowd threatened to
force the doors and they were re-
opened" Such an exhibition of NOR
bid curiosity on the part of adults Is
incomprehensible in a city with so
intelligent and refined d population
as that of Cumberland, But 1t is
simply amazing that Sunday-school
children should have been permit
ted to crafty a curiosity which ought
not TO be encouraged even on the
part of adults. The effect upon
these children cannot but be harm
fui. because It tends to make them
callous-to accustom them to blood
shed and to deeds of violence. If
the murderer had ben executed ac-
cording to the laws of the State and
the prison regulations the sentence
would have ben carried out in an or
DERBY way in the presence OF only
such persons as are required. There
would have been no curious crowds
peering into his coffin. Lynchlng is
the result of an excess of passion
and, like excuses of all kinds, it has
demoralizing effect upon all who
are brought under its influence. 1t
is to be hoped that never again may
the spectacle be presented in Mary

mitted. If not encouraged. to gaze

In NInssnchnsetts.

The Massachusetts, Democracy is
hopelessly divided and there is no
possibility of its carrying the state.
Democratic authorities say there is
no hope now OF winning. the breech
being so wide between the Bartlett
and Whitney factions. From the
Democratic standpoint Whitney was
regarded strong on account of his
advocacy of tariff revision. but with
it he sanctions and encourages rail-
road merging. and this latter more
than Offsets the former. The other
faction takes no stand on the tariff
at all.
The Republicans are united. hav-
ing taken neutral or middle grounds
on the tariff and are working
shoulder to shoulder for overwhelm-
ing success. Senator Lodge, astuts
politician and statesman, has har-
monized his party and the Repub-
licans are more confident than ever.
The action of both wings of the
Democratic party in Massachusetts
shows that the old bird wants to
flop both ways, and in her efforts
has Topped herself away from the
nest altogether. 1t is a good thing
she is not in the Louisiana cane
brakes, or the President might clip
her wings.
