At one time climbing roses were

the wistaria when young, allowing the
stem to take its own course. and when
it grows older it is very crooked for
several feet from the ground; but if
care is taken at the start to train it
properly it will grow straight. The
way to do it is to keep the leaders

Among wistarias commonly grown
may be mentioned Wistaria Linensic,

early spring, before foliage starts to

June, after the foliage is well de-

with Clematis you must note carefully

other varieties require but little
pruning, save, of course, keeping the
dead wood cut out. Another matter
to watch with the Clematis is to keep
them tied out. Don't let the shoots

CLIMBERS. AND VINES.
Effective for. Porches. Walls and Old
Trees-Some Varieties and Habits.

No matter how unpretentious our
homes, nothing adds so materially to
their adornment as climbing vines. Any
house of a cottage character is i'm
proved by the judicious planting of
suitable climbers. Churches are also
greatly beautified by a few vines.
Vines are not only beautiful, but a
positive necessity to many places.
Probably you would not be a BILE to use
your porch were. it not for the shelter
from the burning rays of the sun af-
forded by a strong-groWing climber.
Perhaps you have an unsightly wall or
building you wish to hide. There the
climber is in order. Or if you have an
old tree you wish to cover, or a summer
house or boat house you want beauti-
fed, something to flower on the front
porch and many. other places might
suggest themselves to our minds we
go over the grounds, and we would be
indeed at a loss to know what to use
were it not for climbing vines, and
when judiciously planted, nothing can
take their places.
Nearly all climbers thrive best in a
sunny situation, especially those that
bloom; and nearly all want good rich
loan to grow in. If your soil is barren
and poor first take out. Is inches square
and replace with good garden soil, into
which you plant your climber. 1t is i'm
portant to keep the grass from the
roots of climbing vines and occasionally
loosen the soil around them. If you do
not take this precaution they are apt.
especially with stems, to be cut off with
the sickle when the edges of the grass
are being trimmed.
In selecting vines consider the loca-
ton. Some vines suitable for climbing
over a stone building would be utterly
unsuitable for a porch, and a vine that
would look pretty climbing over
trellis on a porch would never lend
itself to tree-draping.
The climbing hydrangea is beautiful
planted against an old tree. 1t has the
pretty, shiny foliage of the hydrangeas,
and when several years old bears white
clusters of fiat flowers 1t is rare, prob
ably for the reason that few plant it
in the right location. It is somewhat
tender and should be planted in shell

Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 5.-Homer
Heath, the University of Michigan, one

started suit against Druggist E. E.
Calkins for $4,000 damages for the loss
of his arm.
Heath is best known for his remark
able leap of 22k feet at the conference

performance under his physical handi-
cap was one of the sensational athletic
performances of the year.
Up to April Is, 1905, Homer Heath
had two strong arms. He was doing
work in addition to his university du-
ties as assistant photographer for Drug

McGINNITY HAS RETIRED.
The 'Tron Mans. Absence, a Severe
Blow to the Giants.


New York. Feb 5.-Joe McGinnity,
pitcher of the New York National
league club and one of the greatest
twirlers that ever stepped into a box,
has retired from baseball Reports
received here today from McAIester,
l. T., state that McGinnity's father has
just died and that the pitcher will take
charge of the business which the
elder McGinnity had built up into a
large enterprise. iEssr Hf.sas
For the last two years McGinnity
has been considering the question. of
retiring from the great natiena1 game,
.andflit WAS a1l III thsf tentrea ties of Man
ager McGraw, to Whom he is sresponz
sible for his success in the baseball
line, that he agreed to pitch for the
Giants in 1905 and 1906.
This year the New York club sent a
contract to the rIron Man. as he is
known all over the country, but it was
not returned. It was feared by the
New York club officials that McGin-
nifty would not return to the diamond
owing to worry over his business in
the territory which interfered with his
pitching to some rextent last season.. !
The loss of McGinnity is the severest
blow the New Yerk club has sustain
ed since the famous controversy be-
tween Andrew Freedman the former
president of the New York club, and
Amos Rusie. Owing to a slight differ
ence in salary, Rusie refused to join
the team, and when he finally resumed
pitching his long absence from the
field and his careless mode of living
rendered his arm useless.

st. Louis Cub Players said to Be Dis

st Louis. Mo-, Feb. 5.-The effects of
fictitious and other foolish offers for
baseball players is beginning to have
serious effect among some of the Chi
cago cubs. Two of the National league
champions. Artie Holman, utility man
and star of the worlds series, and
big Ed Reulbach, leading pitcher of
the National league, are baking on the
terms offered them for the coming sea-
son and it is claimed they will return
their contracts unsigned to President
Charley Murphy.
Neither of the players will say what
terms have been offered, but both are
sidestepping and backing away from
the documents, claiming they expected
better treatment after the great work
they did in 1906 o.v.e -

Gus race courses in England expend
nearly 100000 a year for mainten-
ance and labor.
Though not as expensive an amuse-,
ment as in America, the public here
being enabled to see first class racing
at much less cost than similar sport
would cost in England, the horse own
err here finds it a costly game, because
labor and food are much higher here
than in England.
A first class trainer would ask about
twice as much to train a horse as is
charged in England. Travelling ex-
penses for owners and horses are a
very large item, especially for the rank
and file of the turf, who race all sea-
son, and cross the continent twice a
year.
Hence. if the public of Great Britain
spends $52,616, $50 a: year on racing
the American public certainly spends
even a larger sum, taking! into ac-
count, of course. all the tracks of the
country. The same arguments ad-
vanced lin England by the friends of
