Mr.. Evans and HIS Banana Plant.

Mr. Charles T.. Evans, supcrin-

cral hobbies he rides during his leis.
ure moments-one of them being
flowers and their cultivation.
Just now he is very much clated
over a banana plant that grows in
his front yard and cXcites the envy
of the entire neighborhood.
The banana plant has seven ban
anas on II and a committee of in
terestod florists among the ladies of
southwest Ardmorc, upon a close ,ex-
animation of the plant, vouchsafed
the fact that the banana stalk grew
there and was not surreptitiously
purchased from a grocery store and
placed there during the dead hour
of the night The south wind has
whipped the leaves in shreds, and
adds rather than detracts from the
appearance of the plant.

So hard to live this life
When mercury is rising
Until 1t breaks the glass,
All my apostrophizing

No heat would fill with loathng

Thorc'd be- no high-bom poses
All stiff with etiquette.
Therc'd be no soft compunctions
To make the conscience sore
Thcred be no social functions

Thore'd be no Lords or Ladies'
To snub MS on the street.
Therc'd be no thought Of Hades
For conduct indiscrcct.
Wed all be brothers, cousins.
And sisters, aunts and sich.
And uncles by the dozens,
And no one poor or rich.

But just happy clan,

MURDERER GETS
HIS FREEDOM
WIFE DIES OF BROKEN HEART
AFTER TRYING TO SECURE
HIS RELEASE.

Eau Claire, Wis, Oct. 17-After
serving eleven years of a life sen
tence for murder, Christian Miller
will probably within a few days be
released from Waupun. A quarrel
over some tomato sprouts late one
April afternoon in 1898 caused the
conviction of Miller. William Taylor,
who lived OH the second floor in the
house with Mr. and Mrs. Miller,
kicked the sprouts downstairs from
he hallway. Miller objected ana
when Taylor knocked him downstairs
with a hammer he returned with an
AK and battered down Taylor's door
and split his head open.
NiIlers heart-broken wife tried for
years to secure his freedom and got
a promise from Judge O'NeiIl that at
the end Of ten years he would sign
an appeal for pardon. He has kept
his promise.
But the wife is dead. The appeal
for pardon, signed by the judge VINO
sentenced him, the attorney who pros
ecuted him and the one who defended
him has been favorably acted on, but
Miller will be released to enjoy his
freedom alone.
When Miller entered prison he
could speak nothing but German. Now
he speaks English fuently.

NOT PROFITABLE.

Washington, Oct. Automobiles
have displaced carriages to such an
extent that carriage builders will be
obliged to quit the business or de-
vote themselves to the construction
Of automobile bodies, was the state
ment made yesterday by Maurice Con
molly of Dubuque, president Of the Car
riage Builders National association.
which convened in annual meeting
here.
The situation presented by Presi-
cent Connolly in his annual address is
so serious that many carriage manu-
facturers have relinquished business
Or directed their energies along some
what different lines Mr. Connolly
said that the demand for horse vent
cles has so fallen off as to eliminate
them largely from the market
William l.. Hall, assistant forester
Of the agricultural department, warned
the association that the supply OF
wood used for the bodies of carriages
and automobiles has diminished so
rapidly that in 20 years it would prac-
tically be exhausted. He suggested
that the association cooperate with
the national and state governments
to conserve the supply of hardwood
and prevent it's waste.
