THE SO CALLED
 CENTURY PLANT

A widespread miSapprehension exists about the so called century plant which is that 1t blooms only at the eX- plratlon of a hundred years, says the Chicago News. Another misapprehen. sion is that 1t takes the plant a hun dred years to get Its first flower and then blooms every year. Still another Is that 1t is a cactus The truth about the plant Is as follows: It is an agave, not cactus. It got It's name, century plant, from the fact that 1t was for merly believed to attain Its growth and bloom only after hundred years, but 1t will mature In ten years with the soil and climate both favorable, In less favorable situations 1t natures in about seventy years. The plant is re- markablc for one tbing especially. It blooms as soon as 1t has attained its full growth. whenever that may be, and then dies. But the bloom Is wor- thy of from ten to seventy years to produce 1t, for it has stem about forty feet in height No wonder 1t is called "agavc," which in Greek means "uoble"<

Ting questions on marriage and home
life to be -n5vered by the congrega-
ton is getting much practical wisdom
in the replies, says the Baltimore
American. Among some submitted
are the assertions by the majority
that wives have as much right to the
money as the husband, that there
should be no distinction of sex in the
treatment of children at home, and
that parents should not unduly sacri-
flee themselves for their children.
But is is highly probable that this
wise Chicago congregation, like
many others, is quicker to see the
light than to pursue the path it so
clearly Eliminates.

AN uNFAvoRAslE COMPARISON.

1t is well known that Alaska has
been a source of revenue to the
United States almost from it's pur.
chase. AS matter of fact, for many
years the government enjoyed a large
revenue from Alaska without expend-
Ing dollar except for officers to col
lect the revenue, says the Manchester
Union. To the present time the re-
ceipts are out of reasonable proper
ton to the money that is expended
Tor the benefit of that great and val
liable territory. BY way Of con-
trast the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
states that the Canadian figures show
that the Dominion government has ex-
pended in the Yukon 100000 more
than it has ever received from that
territory in the way of taxes of every
kind and character, land sales and
royalties on gold production. 1t is
further asserted that lin police pro-
lection and in the matter of construc-
ton of public works for the develop
ment of the country, the Canadian
government has made a record out of
all comparison greater than has the
government of the United States"

KILLS S, WOUNDS MANY
FeIIed With an Ircn Bar After His
Fearful Work, lc Terribly Beaten
Before Subdued.

With a maniacal shrek, John Muir
ply turned from pig-sticking to man
killing in the North Packing e Pro-
vision Co.'s slaughter house in Somer-
Vile. Mass, and driving his fellow
%orkmen before him, slew five of
them and wounded four others.
Two of the wounded were reported
later as dying.
The dead are: Hubert Smith, ne
gro; James Catre, negro: Thomas
Grove, all three of Cambridge; Mich
ael Janicus, Somerville, and an un.
identified white man.
The wounded are DR.. Daniel c..
Hayes, government Inspector. of Wal
than; John Cheevus and John Lewis,
of Cambridge, and John Patterson, of
Somerville.
According to some OF the workmen.
Murphy had been acting peculiarly for
some days, but returned from his din
ner apparently in normal condition.
Shortly after 2 O'Clock he suddenly
uttered scream and sprang at DR..
Hayes, waving his 15-inch razor-edge
knife in his hand. He cut DR.. Hayes
a deep cash on the neck, stabbed him
over the heart and terribly slashed
him. The terrified workmen rushed
for. the door, but Murphy ran after
them, slasning right and left. Every
man whom he struck went down With
a groan. The crowd plunged down
stairs with Murphy after them and
at every landing he cut SOMEBODY. On
the second floor one of the workmen,
an Italian, seized heavy bar of iron
and felled Murphy. but he was quick
ly on his feet again and wounded an
other man.
On the street floor he was given
another heavy blow on the head and
his knife was wrenched from his
hand. Two police officers came in to
assist the workmen and Murphy was
given fearful beating before he was
finally overpowered and taken to the
police station
Murphy is so years old, weighs 200
pounds and was regarded as one of
the strongest men in the plant. He
had been employed at pig killing for
some years by the North Co. He is
married and lives in Somerville.
The wounded men were hastily
taken to the Cambridge Relief station,
where it was reported that there is
very little hope of Dr. Hayes or Chez
vus surviving their wounds.

Saturday at his home in Kalamazoo.
His death was most untimely and un-

THEY VOTED ONCE
WITHOUT RESULT
THE ELECTION OF WARDEN FOR
JACKSON PRISON WAS
FRUITLESs.
THE BOARD CANDIDATES
Death o. Col. Footc, Commander OF
G. A. R.-Notes on Various Matters
of Interest.

The board of control tried to elect
a warden to succeed ex-Warden A. N.
Armstrong last week. 1t didn't try
very hard, however, and the ballot
showed that each of the three mem
bers of the board and Gov. Warner,
as well, had a candidate. Gen. w. T..
McGurrin, of Grand Rapids; Ray Hart,
of Battle Creek, clerk of Calhoun coun-
ty; Wesley j. Thomas, of Paw Paw,
and ex-senator A. j. Peek, of Jack
son, each had a single vote. Three
votes are required TO elect, and after
taking the single ballot the board
quickly postponed further action for
two weeks. 1t wanted to put off more
in two weeks to take up other matters
and decided to make another effort
TO elect a warden at that time.
The board, and especially the new
member, Judge Adams, of Kalamazoo
manifested pronounced "Missouriness'
in passing upon the usual stack OF
monthly bills.
Warden Wenger has been furnish
ing paroled prisoners who have nc
money with funds to buy tickets to
their former homes, and asked the
board If he was doing right. Gov
Warner said the legislature had
passed an act authorizing the warden
to furnish a ticket and 81 in cash, the
money to be returned by the paroled
prisoner, and failure TO repay being
made violation of the parole and
ground for his return to the prison.
And that was the smallest thing
the state of Michigan ever did" said
Mr.. Navin. Suppose the poor devil
is taken sick and cannot raise the few
dollars that the state has invested for
him ?"
But the matter still is in allegiance.

Obedience.

Prompt and .unquestioning obedi-
ence is the corner stone of the foun-

give orders properly who has not

found that the men who have won
their way to positions of power and
responsibility have invariably been

who promptly did as they were COM
manded without questioning. 1t is

A young man in Brooklyn is suing

photographing and measuring him by
the Bertillon system, when he was
proved innocent of any crime. He
claims that his personal pride, self-re-
spect, legal rights and nervous sys-
tenn were injured to that extent,
which collective wrongs certainly call
Tor some substantial soothing. On
the other hand, the police hold that
persons are thin-skinned to an un-
justifiable extent who cannot pass
over little mistake like being ranked
among the criminal population.
