why? Because it would be "separ-
ationist movement" which would Sub
stitute Gaelic for English" Ireland is
already separated from England, not
only by water, but by the fact that it
Is not part of Britain. 1t is a separ-
ate and distinct nation which has never
been absorbed by England as Scotland
was. The United Kingdom Of Great
Pljtain and Ireland IS the official title
CT Edwards kingdom. The object Of
the linguistic movement is not to re-
place the English by the native tongue.
Two languages are better than one,
ond every nation should have it's own
language. The Gaelic is not archaic"
l.y long shot, though it is the Oldest
spoken language in Europe. 1t is now

ly been drinking and fell from his seat:
his head going between the wheel ana
shaft, where his neck was broken. The
back OF his head was bruised by the
continued humping Of the wheel, and
his back and shoulder were also torn

horse having continued on homeward

was in a buggy.

brother and two sisters.

in Hallville and many were attracted
by the finding Of the body. Whether
Mr.. Main was alone during his ride
into Hallville is not known. but II Is
supposed ne was, as no one had report

spied the team going along driverless,

HANDSOME ROSES
Grown in New Addition to Mrs. Lam
mans Greenhouses by Gardener
BessIey.

For almost a week now the new rose
house which Mrs. William c. Lanman
had built last spring as an addition to
the greenhouses at her Washington
strets residence, has been producing
its first crop of choice blooms to re-
ward the expert care of Gardener
Charles T. Beasley, and makin~ an
individual rose show OF which any
gardener may be proud. The daily
pickings average from 100 to 1875 of
these lovely flowers, each as perfeEt
as the most careful nurture and every
advantage can make 1t.
Mr.. Beasley has devoted his atten-
ton especially to a few new varieties
with which he stocked his house, the
pink Ny Maryland. the pink and the
white Killarney. My Maryland, and
Ideal pinl rose, and Killarney, both
pink and white. nearly as fine as the
the first named varieyt. His $50 plants
arranged to the best advantage on
four benches of varying height are the
pictures of thrift and vigor, witnesses
to the expert care that has been be-
slowed upon them with such fine re-
suits. With Mr.. Beasley the pink rose,
My Maryland, is an especial favorite,
for its prolific Towering, as every
shoot produces a bud.
This abundance of these queenly-
flowers is almost entirely enjoyed by
others than the owner. as Mrs. Ian
man sends large quantities of them
to the hospital. to the Halle club.

friends.
Roses are not the only things which
Gardener Beasley displays with pride.

countless other varities of plants.
