The amateur gardener. whose love
for flowers is often disproportionate
to her means Of buying the new sorts
she covets, may often make her garden
return a profit in cash, as well as in
satisfaction.
Cannas are so popular that there is
always a ready market for good, we'll
grown tubers, especially for the dark
colors. By starting in with good stock,
and keeping 1t true to name, or even
by having good plump roots that are
mixed" n may often make advan-
rageous sales to neighbors or t near
by seedsmen. They multiply quite rap
idly, but the demand. at present, seems
to keep pace with the increase.
The secret Of success is to have the
tubers sound and firm. And this is
secured by giving them proper care
through the winter. Pack them in sand
In a dry, f%rost-proof cellar. They will
keep firm and plump. affording Gus.
toners ample proof Of their intention
to grow.
Dahlias, too, are in favor again. and
are shown In some charming new col
orings and forms~ The same treatment
applies to the care Of these tubers
through the winter.
Gamma seeds are very hard to germi-
pate, and, while stock may be raised
that way, 1t is always doubtful how it
will turn out. 1t may prove inferior.
so the best way is to depend On the
propagatlon of the roots.

In view of the comment which is going the
rounds of the state press relative to the SUI
preme court, it is pleasure to reprint the fol
lowing regarding Chief Justice Start and JUS
'tice Brown, which we clip from the Winona
Republican, Herald, of Dec. 23rd:-
These are two on the Minnesota
supreme court bench whose judicial upright
ness and personal integrity can never be inn
peached by any charges brought against the
court We refer to Chief Justice Start and JUS
tice Brown, two OF the supreme courts ablest
members whose records have ever been above
reproach. Chief Justice Start is serving his
third term, and as compliment to his personal
worth as jurist and citizen he was re-elect-
ed as the unanimous choice by the people of
the state without regard to party. The people
of Southern Minnesota, among whom he has
lived nearly all his life, know Judge Start to be
a man of the highest integrity, so absolutely
honest and just and so careful of his reputation
as judge that he must feel keenly the
founded charges brought against court he
has so long presided over 1t is said of him, so
careful is he of this judicial honor, that he
goes to bed every night owing no a dollar.
Whatever he buys, be it ton of coal or goods
from a store, he pays for when it is delivered,
fearing that he might day have before
him case in which a man who had given him
credit was interested, and might be Influenced
in his decision thereby. There is not citizen
in Minnesota who, for a moment would be-
leve that Chief Justice Start would do any
man, any client before the supreme court an
in justice or stoop to do dishonorable act On
der any consideration.
Judge Brown is the same kind of man
jurist and citizen, and the records of these two
veterans of the bench are above all suspicion
Both enjoy the highest esteem and confidence
of the people of the state"

won the club expects to reimburse it
self for great deal of the outlay for
the robes.
Besides the kings and their handsome
robes. a long procession Of comic
floats keeps the spectators interested.
These floats and the attendant para
ders are cleverly got up as satirical
shaft aimed at some local or national
abuse. 1t is safe to say that the exor-
bitant demands of the iceman and the
coal dealer will figure in the parade.
A familiar figure that is looked for
each year in this parade is a survivor
of the disaster to the Maine, who.
mounted on enormous stills and wear
ing the uniform of a naval officer,
stalks the entire length of the line, a
towering giant on whom all eyes are
focused while he passes. This tall man
usually receives as much applause as
one of the Wearers of the prize win
ming costumes. Other sights that have.
come to be looked for each year are
the airship corps, club that turns out
in imitation of flight of airships and
sails along the line, doing various ridic
ulous stunts; the men from the mines,
who march with picks over shoulder
and sooty faces, giving a somber touch
to the gay scene; the Metropolitan
Opera House chorus, collection of
200 pound Shooters dressed in filmy
lace and carrying diaphanous sun
shades over their heads to shield from
the winter sun compilations baked
brown, in their daily work of carrying
the bod or scrambling around scaffold-
ing. The police do not have much
extra work on New Years day in Phil
adelphia, and the city is as quiet as
ever the day after.-Brooklyn Eagle.

WANT KNIGHT FOR
VICE PRESIDENT
Coast Republicans Believe Choice
Would Go Far Toward Healing
= Breaches Already Made
In the Party
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June ia motion was
sprung among the California delega-
ton this morning for the nomination
of George A. Knight of San Francisco
for vice president. Several leading Re
publicans of the state have been urg-
ing upon Mr.. knight to enter the race
but the latter has not yet given con-
sent to the use OF his name. His back
ers, however, say they will not wait
upon this but will go ahead and launch
his boom. They claim they will be
able to line up practically all of the
western delegations behind Knight and
to present a formidable front to the
convention.
The Californians are urging that their
candidate would be the choice of no
faction and would do much toward
healing some of the wounds that have
already been caused
In addition to joining in the long dis
tance telephone representations to Sec
retary Taft in opposition to the selec-
ton of Senator Dolliver as the vice
presidential candidate, National Com
mitteeman Hart today sent the sec
retary the following telegram:
please discourage talk of Dolliver.
It means practically anarchy in Iowa
and almost certainly a Democratic
legislature. You can't afford to up

FAcTloNAL FEELING RESULT
OF VICE PRESIDENTIAL TANGLE

CHICAGO, June 15.--The vice presi-
Dental tangle has developed factional
feeling in Indiana and Iowa. The situ-
alton In the two states is not identical,
but in both Indiana and Iowa there are
prominent Republicans on both sides
of the question as to whether the state
should bid for the honor of naming the
running mate for the presidential nom
inee.
The latest phase of the Iowa situation
Is in danger if some of Governor Cum
Minis following show only lukewarm
interest in the state campaign for the
election of B. r. Carroll as governor,
and other Republican candidates for
state offices, If opponents of Cummins
continue to bar the way to Senator Dol
liver's nomination for vice president.
The ticket headed by Carroll was named
at state primaries, at which Senator
Allison defeated Gov. Cummins for
seat In the senate, and the state ticket
Is not regarded as friendly to Cummins.
While Gov. Cummins and his friends
would be expected to support the choice
OF the Republicans of the state as ex-
pressed at the primaries, it is believed
there might be serious detection in the
Republican ranks If such direct slap
at Cummins as that proposed by the
Iowa delegation is given. In fact, men,
bers Of the Iowa delegation today re-
ceived from Iowa some suggestions
which were construed as thinly veiled
hints that trouble may be expected un-
less there Is a change of program on
the part OF the delegation.

"FAINTING BERTHA" AGAIN
ESCAPES FROM CUSTODY
Clever Pickpocket Dlssulses Herself
as Female Drummer and Tries
to Reach Home Of Mother
In Iowa

CHICAGO, June 15.-A dispatch TO
the Tribune from Peoria, ILL.,, says:
Bertha Lebecke, alias "Fainting Ber-
that" who made her escape from the
tuberculosis tent at the Bartonville
asylum at Bartonville Saturday, was re-
captured In this city yesterday. Bertha
was well disguised as a female drum
mer when arrested. She said she in
tended to go to the home of her mother
in Council Bluffs Iowa.
This is the fifth time Painting Ber-
tina" has escaped from her asylum
guardians, and she has in addition a
record for several clever disappear
ances from the Nevada (Mo.) asylum.
Bertha Lebecke, 2S years old. is con-
ceded by the Illinois state authorities
and the police to be the most trouble
some criminal ever within the state.
"Fainting Bertha's" favorite scheme
of robbery is to pretend she has tainted,
and SO we'll does she practice the deceit
that everyone near her rushes to her
assistance. While they are ministering
to, her apparent needs she robs them OF
whatever she may And in their clothes.
They never suspect until they have sent
her on her way recovered
Bertha stole $1,000 worth of goods In
two days after escaping from the Elgin
asylum December rs, 1906, and taking
train for Peoria. On the train she
tainted and robbed the conductor. In
Peoria she robbed three stores, regis
tering at three hotels under assumed
names and escaping with the goods.
