CONCERNING ROSES.

A rose tree breathes through its leaves.
In dusty weather, therefore, the plant
should be kept clean with frequent spray
tngs.
The best soil for roses is two-thirds loan
and one-third manure This soil should
be at least eighteen inches deep.
Curled up leaves mean a maggot is at
work. He should be caught and killed at
once. or he will kill the tree.
The budding OF roses should be lone In
the early morning or at sunset.
Mix guano with the rose trees water
when II is in bloom.
Never try TO grow roses from seed. II
takes too long.
Rose beds hould not be prepared in wet
weather. .
Never plant a rose tree in q windy place
Rose bushes SHOULD be syringed daily In
May.
Roses that front north do not thrive.

had the usual fringe of humanity
strung along the running board, and
the woman resignedly prepared to

youth arose and rendered her his place.

In due time several seats were va

Had Done ENOUGH.

In a western Kentucky town Ben Wat,
son had saved the life of Myra Under
hill. Miss Underhill had been over
turned in a creek with a swift current.
and the act of young Watson was a
very heroic one. He had saved the life
of the girl after she was sinking for
the third time. and had barely strength
to pull himself and the young woman
to shallow water.
The new soon spread, and Ben Wat.
son was hailed al the real. live hero Of
the village.
Aunt Tabby Wilson, the oldest Nom-l
an in the village, the mother OF the lit,
tie colony, vas loud In praise of the
heroism Of the young man, and at once
declared that Ben and Myra must get
married. Ben saved Myry's life" she
said, "and now they must marry and
be happy ever afterward, just as they
do IL in the storybooks."
But Ben demurred; the arrangement
did not suit him, says Harper's Week
ly.
why not marry Myry, Ben % said
the old lady. "She is yours, and we
must have a wedding"
"She is a nice girl, all right replied
Ben, but / don't think we oughter
marry. Seems to me-" he went on, II

chairman of the board OF direct
orS Of the Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific railroad, who had an interview
Monday with President Roosevelt and
members Of the interstate commerce
commission regarding the railroad sit
uation, told President Roosevelt that
the agitation and legislation in various
states, regarding &c fares, and the re-
duetion in freight rates, have made it
almost impossible for the railroads to
negotiate loans on their securities. He
declared that The railroad men are
willing that the supervision of the
railroads be centralized in the national
government"
That" he added, would restore
confidence, and give the people to un-
derstand that the railroads wish to
observe the laws, and it would stop the
hostile legislation in various states"

There is nothing in the "tW0-cent
fare" nor in penny postage" to the
farmer, except that he will have the
reduction TO pay in increased freight
rates to the roads and in taxes to the
Government The farmer is not a
traveller; he is shipper; he is not
interested in fares; but he is vitality
interested in the man who pays the
freight" 1t is the meandering poll
tician-not always a party politician
either-who is interested in the re
duced fare. He wants to make his
ways to all public meetings cheap and
the fool farmers" can make it up to
the railroads, you bet and he will
have to do it, too.
