WIND STORM
Struck Massillon Uproot-
ing Trees and Tearing
Down Wires-Prop-
erty Loss Small
OTHER NEWS NOTES

Massillon, May 2S.-A severe wind
storm that closely resembled a cy.
clone, struck this city at o'clock this
evening. The gale lasted about Is
minutes and in that time considerable
damage was done about town. So
violent was the storm that great trees
were uprooted and wires torn down.
1t was feared for time that the prop
erty loss would be large but the wind
died down before any great amount
of damage was done.
AT other small places near here, the
velocity of the wind was even greater
than in Massillon At Navarro some
damage was done mainly by the up
roofing of trees and the tearing down
of wires. Canal Fulton suffered
slightly in the same way.
William Ritnour aged IA years, and
Ralph Cristy, aged IS, were arrested
by the Massillon police today and held
on the charge of robbery. 1t is al
leEed that they robbed the cash regis
ter OF a New Philadelphia saloon last
night and they were wanted by the
police of that city. According to the
story they told the Massillon police,
they wanted to go to Cleveland to
get work and In order to secure funds
for transportation they we're compelled
TO resort to robbery. After getting the
cash they left New Philadelphia and
came to this city where they spent
last night in a barn.
This morning they were captured
along the B. & o. tracks by Patrolman
seifert who had been informed of
the robbery by a telephone message
from New Philadelphia. They were
brought to the police station in the pa
troll wagon and held until this after
noon when they were taken back to
their homo W Chief Espect Of New
Philadelphia.

CHEER FOR THE WINTER.
Conservatives and Windo7r Gardens
for the City Home.

-ro,r, hoI,sas are now recruiting their con-
Bervatories and grouping their window garue1o
preparatory to bringing some of the green anu
cheer of summer days into the nome atiioS
phere when skies are cold and gray Faos anu
fashions play a more important part in the
making of a conservatory and window garden
than the average person would believe. Orchids
for instance are as much the necessary thing
in Conservatives of to-day as roses were III
the Ions ago, and certain varieties Of tropical
ferns and palms are preferred above all others
at the present time. and likely to be until
something new in the horticultural world comes
forward 10 claim greater homage
Only a few persons can afford to collect ana
cultivate rare and numerous varieties of or
chids because they require expert treatment
but d great many can enjoy the possession OF
some Of the more hardy and popular Orchids
such as the Cattleya and several North Amer
lean varieties. Golden orchids and white and
green ones are now the latest fad, but this
fancy has not displaced the beautiful mauve
colOred blossoms.
In planning a winter garden indoors, whether
upon a large or small scale, one should always
select the plants with reference to the sort of
heat and moisture intended for them Some
flowers and plants such as geraniums, begonias
aIyssum araucaria pines, certain varieties OF
ferns narcissus and a few bulbs. will stand
good deal of cold air and amount OF house
dust that most other plants would not survive
In the same way dry. hot air calls for the selec-
ton of growing things that will thrive in it
and few do The new violin rubber plant, the
common rubber plant. araucaria pines and
geraniuIns will endure hard usage and neglect
in the way of providing moisture better than
will plants used to decorate house
Among the fashionable and beautiful topic
palms now in great favor is the coco de mer.
or double cocoanut, about which many legends
have existed. Inhabitants Of the Seychelles
Islands, in the Indian Ocean, greatly prize the
double fruit which they find floating on the
water For centuries George V Nash, Of the
Bronx Botanical Gardens, relates. the ancient
people of those islands where this fruit was
to be found insisted that il grew upon a tree
which lived under the and which instantly
disappeared if any dived down to see it
Other heather people were firm in the belief
that the branches of this tree hourished above
the water near the island OF Java, and that a
monstrous bird lived in the treetop and flew
every night to the adjacent islands to any
ship which had the i'll luck to stray that way.
It killed and deyoured tigers, elephants and
sailors by way OF dessert 1t is told that sailors
about the Indian Archipelago were careful to
avoid this deadly spot.
The princes Of Hindustan and the inhab-
ttants Of the Maldive Islands believed the nuts
to be protection against pOisons and to serve
as an antidote to practically all ills The soy
