The Century Plant.

The century plant, so named because
of the popular idea that it blooms but
once in a hundred years, in one sense
makes good its name, for it blooms
only once, then dies. In the genial
climate of southern California it reach
es maturity and blooms in fifteen or
twenty years, while in colder climates
the period may range from forty to
fifty years. There are many species of
the agave family native to northern
Mexico, where it is called the maguey
The plant furnishes 'pulque," the ma
tional drink of Mexico. At the time of
blooming the plant throws up a single
stock of rapid growth to the height of
twelve to twenty feet, from which the
tassel-like flowers spreut forth. This
great flower stalk draws all the SAP
and vigor from the body of the plant
wi. h soon withers and dies.

HOW He SLEPT.
His Experience With Noisy and Per
sistent Cuckoo Clock.


sistent Cuckoo Clock.
Wertz recently was presented with
an old fashioned clock. That evening
he hung it on his bedroom wall, wound
it up and after admiring it awhile
went to sleep. He was drifting into
very pleasant dreams when he was
startled.
"Coo-coo, coo-coo.'
Wertz sat up with a start, but in an
instant recovered his wits and listened
to eight more coo-coos with foolish
grin. Then he lay back and went to
sleep again.
He had got into a fine doze by the
time the thing went off again. This
time he didn't grin.
Wertz is a light sleeper, and, though
he tried to get used to the thing, he
gave up after the cuckoo had announc-
ed o'clock and got up and stopped
the clock.
Next evening Wertz junior, who had
not seen the clock. went to look at it.
"Why, it's stopped" he said. What
is wrong?"
Wertz senior stroked his chin.
Maybe 1 didn't wind it this morn
ing" he replied. "Ferd," he continued
generously, IF you will promise tc
wind that clock every morning I'll lei
you have it for your room"
Wertz junior was delighted, and the
transfer was made.

COURT TODAY
Macy and Fox Kept Busy
Divorce Cases Set.

There was court at both ends" as
the clerk expressed it today. The
Deiser-Parker case occupied the at
tention of jury and Judge Fox in
the circuit court room the entire day.
The argument was begun late this
morning and continued throughout
the afternoon. TIL case went to the
jury at about o'clock.
While this case was holding forth
in the circuit court room, Judge Macy
of the Randolph circuit court, was
holding probate court in Judge Fox's
private office. Judge Macy was hear
ing the case that developed from the
report of the administrator in the set
tlement of the Nye estate. Judge Ma
cy was appointed by Judge Fox on q
change of venue, because the latter
had heard there were some objections
to him.
The divorce cases of Devers VS.. De
vers and Renk VS.. Renk were set fol
trial today, also. Owing to the de-
mands of the Deiser-Parker case the
court did not expect to be able to heal
them.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 14.-Gover-

Thanksgiving proclamation, in which
he said in part:
The year now closing has been
crowned with goodness. Material
possessions have increased. Riches

He has led us into the knowledge of
His truth. and has made the light OF
His countenance to shine upon us. He
has saved us and blessed oar inherit
ance, and has Taught us the value OF
integrity and uprightness.
I'VE have not always understood
Our ways have not always been His
ways. But we are finite. and He is
infinite. We see but dimly, are
sometimes impatient and often mis-

and tell of His Wondrous works.

ONE FIGHT is REPORTED.
FORMER MAYOR OF cIENFUEGos
KILLS A LIBERAL OPPONENT IN
HEATED ARGUMENT IN HAVANA
-NATlvES PEACEFUL.

Havana, Nov. 14.-Cuba's national
election is being held today and the
indications for a victory for the lib
eral ticket headed by Gen. Jose Mig
uel Gomez and Alfredo Zayas, are
bright. Within the last twenty-four
hours there has been marked depres-
sion in the confidence of the follow
ers of Gen. Mario Menocal and DR..
Rafael Montoro, the candidates of the
conservatives.
Gen. Menocal last night claimed
there was a probability that the con-
seryatives would carry the provinces
of Pinar del Rio, Matanzas, Santa
Clara and Camaguey, with total OF
fifty-nine electoral votes. He con-
ceded the province of Havana to the
liberals, but placed Oriente in the
doubtful column. The liberals claim
all the provinces with the exception
of Pinar del Rio and Matanzas.
Handicaps for Conservatives.
In the August elections for provin
cial and municipal officers the con
servatives carried only Pinar del Rio
Matanzas and Santa Clara for COVER
nors by small pluralities over the ri
val factions, the Miguelistas and Fay
istas and apparently they will not
likely be able to prevail against the
united liberals, although Gen. Memo
calls military prestige doubtless will
attract many voters who hitherto have
been following the standard of Gen

The polls opened at o'clock this
morning and will close at o'clock in
