2-5YEAR FLOWER SEARCH.
Pennsylvania Botanist Gets Specimen
Of Rare yellow Moccasin.

After searching vainly for - years
for a flower of which he was fond in
youth, but which ceased to grow in this
vicinity years ago, George Redles. oi
POI Wister street, secretary of the Ger
mantown Hospital at last succeeded,
and now has specimen of the plant
growing beside the west wall of his
house, says Philadelphia dispatch to
the New York Herald
The flower is the yellow moccasin, the
botanical name of which is Cypripedi-
UNI parviflorum. Transplanted from
the vicinity of Branchville, ~. j., to it's
new soil il had fiourished and Powered
d few days ago, just in time for the
recent meeting of the Germantown
Horticultural ociety, of which Mr.. Red
les is 81 member.
During the quarter century of his
search MIR. Redles went to many parts
of this state and New Jersey, where he
had been told, the flower he sought
grew, always without success. until
chance led hiEl to the. object of his
quest. And then. by good fortune, he
obtained the last ,plant. of a cluster
which. he believes, IS the last to be
found in this part of the, country.

Cluster Brown" at Cascade Park.

At Cascade Park theatre for one
week beginning this evening we are to
have Buster Brown his dog "Tige
his mother, his grandmother, and his
large retinue of pretty girls. Buster
Brown is the most successful hero of
the pictorial fiction. Successful as
pictured in the prints and more so
when idealized upon the stage, and
this success can be attributed to the
fact that the many strenuous events Of
his many sided career appeal to every
one in an audience, from the ragged
urchin, perched up in the gallery to
the staid man of business occupying
the higher priced seat below; every.
one who sees Buster recognizes the
human nature in him. The boy de-
sires to emulate him, the man is car
ried back to the days when he too be-
came involved in boyish scrapes that
suggested the slipper cure to his moth
er. Then, too Buster as a stage
creation, fairly eXudes mirth-his
career is a dance--a laugh-a song or
march,-a perfect Kaleidoscope of rap
idly moving changes. each one of that
entertaining kind that evolve pure
wholesome enjoyment. Master Reed.
who plays Buster is conceded to be
without peer in the character.
Mark Twain once said There is
nothing in the world like a boy unless
it is another boy 1t is the exact APP
plication of the above trite saying
that enables one to solve the question
as to the limitless popularity of r. F.
Outcaut's famous boy character BUS
ter Brown 1t is because Buster is
the living. breathing prototype OF
many another boy. Grandfather rec
ognzes Busters traits of fun and mis-
chief at once and is carried back to
the days of some of his own FRANKS
The youngsters admire Buster because
he is a manly little chap worthy of
youthful admiration and emulation. 1t
is because the character, Buster
Brown is a real boy that we love him.
and it is for the reason that those who
exploit him in the play form have sur
rounded him with clever people sup
piled with gorgeous costumes, catchy
songs and music and pretty girls that
the public has accorded such hearty
patronage to the stage.
Miss Eta Williams, talented young
singer a member of the cast and
resident of Waterville, will make her
initial bow to the people of her home

friends. who have heard much of her
