No Tree
in Seymour Park
Order to Workmen
Their BoughS Sacred to DR.. Miller's
Love and Amusement Buildings
Will Spare Them.

Two construction gangs began work in
Seymour park Thursday. one to erect a
dozen buildings and another To make boule-
wards about the lake. thus converting the
former home of DR.. George l.. Miller into
an amusement park.
Not a tree is to be touched, the instruc-
ton OF the company to the landscape gar
dener being that the valnuts, oaks and
elms, as well as the fruit trees, have al
most sacred boughs' and must not be cut
down nor trimmed under any circumstances
in Difference to the wish of Dr.. Miller, to
the father of Omaha and lover Of trees.
Because OF this rule the buildings will be
somewhat scattered, as open places must
always be selected where buildings can be
erected without cutting trees.
The boulevards which are TO be macad-
smised also follow for the most part the
drives laid out by DR.. Miller, who almost
thirty years ago planned to make the park
the beauty spot and popular Suburban resi-
dence district of the city he practically
founded. One wide boulevard is being cut
along the brow OF the hill above the lake
from which all of Omaha can be seen
plainly though the distance is more than
seven miles.
Around the site where DR.. Miller's hand
some residence which was destroyed, by
fire stood will be erected a large number
Of bungalows, which will be rented for a
nominal sum to those who wish to live In
them. On the opposite hill a camp ground
is being planned where free sites for tents
will be furnished, together with electric
lights and water and sewrase connections.
The management OF the park has. de-
cided the admission will always be free
and anyone is at liberty to visit the place
any time. 1t will open jun IL.

HILL Gets The PRIZE CORN
Secures Kernels That Won in EXPOSE
ton and Will Plant Them.
THEY GO TO HIS MONTANA FARM
President Of the Great Northern Rail-
road VIII Redeem Grain of
BIeat state as His Father
Did the Horses.

L W. Hili, president Of the Great North
ern railroad, has at last fallen heir to the
prize corn Of the 1905 National Corn ex-
position.
Mr.. Hin is already heir to a few rail-
roads and a lot Of directorships in other
Institutions, as well as to a few sections Of
fine Montana land and several expert
mental stations, but he now has the prize
seed corn added to his string Of good
things in this life.
Many years ago, when Montana was new
and the distinguished father Of the present
president Of the Great Northern had built
a railroad which financiers called Hills
folly" the horses and cattle on the great
ranges were run down strains. They needed
the blood of fine bred and bis-boned horses
and cattle in the herds which had been
deRenerating on the Great Plains. James
J. Hin bought carloads Of the finest horses
and cattle he could secure and apportioned
them among the rancners Of Montana.
He infused pure blood into the herds by
buying prize stuff.
II is a coincidence that when Montana is
taking it's place as an agricultural state
many years later, the successor of James
j. Hill, his son, rs securing the best seed
corn in the world to send to the expert
mental stations of Montana, and thus ino-
culate the grain of the state with pure
bred corn"
Only at show Few Hours.
Mr.. Hill spent but a few hours at the
National Corn exposition and became in
terested. f. f. Faville, editor and pub
Usher OF Successful Farming. had bought
the Grand Champion corn, as we'll as some
$1,000 worth of other first prize seed.
Recently Mr.. HIN took the matter up
with the exposition and asked for but a
few kernels, IL he could secure them, of
the Grand Champion corn.
These ears contained 1000 grains of
corn. Mr.. Faville had them locked in his
safe, giving them out now and then to
some trusted friend. When he learned Mr..
Hill wanted to use some OF the corn for
seed he counted up and found he had 5000
grains. They cost him S16s, but the days
are few in which TO plant corn and Mr..
Faville sent the 5000 precious grains to Mr..
Hill with the compliments of Successful
Farming.
From Mr.. Faviile and the Nebraska Seed
company of Omaha. Mr.. Hill has also Sc
cured the firsts from Wisconsin, northern
Ohio and Illinois, as well as some choice
Nebraska corn and some Minnesota sec
onds.
All these varieties the railroad president
is to grow on his various farms and show
ing National Corn exposition in Omaha.

the history Of the altar piece painted
for her convent church In Prato. Fra
Filippo, who had been commissioned
to decorate this altar, asked the alb

as his model for st. Margaret. The
abbess consented this circumstance
Itself speaks for the curious manners
of the times), and thus in the long
hours OF posing and tete-a-tete an in
timacy sprang up between the pair
and under cover of the crowd, Fra
Filippo carried off the no longer I'M
willing LucreZia and she went to dwell
In his house, where her son Filipino
was born. The affair caused much
talk, even in those days, the more so
that several of Lucrezia's sister nuns
followed her example and Filippo's
house became the center of revolt
The pope's Intervention and that of
the powerful Medici were finally in
voked with the result that Lucrezia
and her companions were forced to
return to the convent, and by a curl
GUS irony of fate they were put to do
penance before the very picture which
had been the cause of their downfall!
