Among the Elowers.

To have cosmos bloom at Thanksgiv-
ing time SOW seeds of the mammoth
variety late this month and transplant
to rich soil when large enough. The
plants will begin to bud about frost
time when they can be lifted with a
large ball of earth, bedded in boxes
and protected until the buds open. If
placed in an unheated room or even in
a shed that can be lighted by large
doors thrown open In daytime and
closed at night, the buds will develop
satisfactorily. Keep well watered.
Candytufts sown now will bloom by
the middle of August and continue in
bloom until the frosts stop them.
These are snowy plants ard are quite
hardy, thriving remarkably well in
most parts of Colorado. The Rocket,
Purple and the Rose Carmine are the
most popular just nov. The first named
is white; the second purple and the
last rich crimson. Their blooms are
extra large and each is a great i'm
provement in size and quality of flower
ing trusses over the common varieties.
Tney require moist mellow soil that is
not too rich.
The petunia is of remarkably easy
culture and makes brilliant constant
snow. For beds where brilliant color
display is desired few ANIMALS surpass
the Shirley poppy. Its petals have the
sheen of silk. Some flowers are double
and some are single. The colors range
from purest white to scarlet. The mas
turtlum is old fashioned but it has held
favor against newcomers. 1t is one OF
the easiest flowers to grow, flourishing
in almost any soil where there is good
sunlight. Dwarf or tall l,nts in a
score of color combinations may be OBJ
tanned. The dwarf variety makes an
excellent border for shrubbery planta-
tion. Zinnias are large plants suitable
for back lows and hedges. They may
be obtsi ed in nearly all colors. They
flower profusely all season and flourish
where more delicate flowers would die
They do not require as much water as
do most flowers.

Smudging Efectiue.

There is no doubt but smudging has
saved much fruit this spring. Over
lower Surface Creek, Sunday, peach
orchards were examined that were
thoroughly smudged and it was rare to
find killed fruit bud, while parts of
the same orchard or adjoining ones.
where there had been no smudging,
shownd exactly the reverse condition.
Only here and there could be found
bud that would not drop off at being
touched. With apples it was different,
they not being advanced to danger
stage at the time of the April freeze,
and nearly all apple trees appeared IN
healthy bloom with fruit buds so thick
that they will generally have to be
thinned. 1t is reported that farther up
the valleys and mesas toward Paonia
and Hotchkiss, even the peach trees
that were not smudged are loaded with
live fruit buds, that apricots are
sweet cherries, plums and prdnes are
in good condition for excessive crops.
AS the days go by and the weather
grows gradually warmer, less apprehen-
sion is felt regarding danger to the
fruit crop, and in the event of no more
frosts, Delta county will certainly
have one of the biggest, if not the
largest fruit crop in its history. In
this event one mathematician has
figured that it will take six trains a
Hau nf on narh m hon H.. ..;%
over the North Fork branch during the
fruit season. That ought to help get
! US another railroad.

The Cause and Meaning
f"Mothers Day.

BY r. ]. CoFFEY, OF DELTA G. A. r. PosT.
You ask. why the Grand Army veterans say,
That they have adopted the Mothers Day
And mean to observe it each year in May,
AS long s their lives shall last
Well listen kind reader, and this 'old vet,"
Will tell so plain you will yer forget,
That each one of us was some mothers pet,
In the great Civil War of the past.
That dark, bloody war that lasted four years.
And deluged our country with blood and tears,
And filed all our mothers hearts with fears,
And our broad land with soldiers graves
While the flashing rifles and cannons roared.
And the bayonet clashed with the glittering
sword,
As the Boys in Blue" charged the Southern
hoard
Both armies of we'll trained braves.
Twas then our dear mothers would hide their
grief,
And write us fond letters to shed some relief
To her soldier boy-though they often were brief
| And stained with the tears she shed.
If wife, sister or sweetheart were near to unite
With mother when she those brief letters would
write,
Little gems of good cheer the sweet girls would
indite
| But alas. sent too late e-he was dead.
Or. perhaps while he lay in some hospital room
With the blinds shaded down to twilight
gloom,
Their letter would find him almost in the tomb
Still it cheered him and drove away death.
And that is the reason the boys who survived
From the dark, bloody war, have so lately con
| trived,
To name Mothers Day" and to keep it alive,
Til the last veteran breathes his last breath
! a.. LII
prayer
Thnt his children and grand. d.children cease mo-
to
The "Carnation flower on breast and in hair,
Each year when they call it in May
And the Grand Army Post, one and all vii
extend
The same right to each well wisher or friend.
Be it lady or gentleman-uniil il time shall end,
To honor our loved Mothers Day."

A 'THR|LLER' AT
 THE ELKS' THEATER
Drama Founded on a Real Tragedy Played Last Night.

To that particular class of melo- drama which is founded on some ac- tual tragedy which fills the columns of the newspapers for a certain length of time, belongs the drama Why Girls Leave Home,' played at the Elks' theater last night
 In Eastern Pennsylvania a year or so ago occurred the startling tragedy which was reproduced on the boards last night A wayward girl and a brother, whose efforts to protect her from wrong are resented, are the ba- sis of the play.
 It was written by Fred Summer field and the treatment of the sub ject, while at times daring, was on the whole cleverly and delicately handled. There is one strong scene in the play, the acting in which was perhaps above the average of the rest of the representation. The cast was a large and adequate one, num- bering among its members several well known people in the theatrical world.

It is not Overreaching the truth to say that some of the songs and stories interpreted by Carrie Jacobs- Bond at the School of Music last night were replete with the gentle philosophy of Thoreau and the de- licious humor of Riley. In addition they were delivered with the charae- teristic expression that reminds one of Yvette Guilbert's rendering on a "chanson."
 Mrs. Bond insists that she is not a singer but an interpreter of songs and stories. She has no "metfod" and has never received vocal in struction. A most engaging per- sonality and the truth that under lies every one of her songs and sto- ries is responsible for the apprecia- tion she received last night.
 When all of the songs had been sung and the stories told and the printed program finished, and Mrs. Bond had bowed her last bow of thanks for the generous applause, the audience reluctantly started to go home. Then with one mind they turned toward the stage and renewed the hand clapping. They stood in their seats and applauded, till finally Mrs. Bond appeared again and sang one of her songs which has probably heen more widely circulated than any other. It was Just a-Wearin' for You" Still another encore was demanded he1Cre the enthusiastic listeners were willing to leave ihe building.
 Perhaps one of the dearest and most charming os the characters that have enmiaate1 from Mrs Bond S i-laginatiol 's il at of My OI6 Man. Her little sttlies of the gentle oid man who say GlI that is good in Inc Ut rid a1t LCnc of the bad, were r.:- lated in susl a amer that at time: deg lrought tGat clutch to the throat ~l:iCli means that the truths have struck hone Ire visit the city Ie- porter makes to the old ma:Is. fam Is delightfully."- told. The C.! iAIn niiYscs the repoIter when he returns to tine city, h-cause the t.ir'rler ,.sta: iished Gn intimate acquaintance with the birds and they seemed to l like him. The last of the My old Man" series of stories in verse was An I've Got Home, "a little bit, that for sentiment and pathos could ! hardly be equalled.
 Some of the cleverest of Mrs ! Bonds songs were His Buttons Are Marked U. S." and Going to Church | With Mother" and May l Print a | Kiss?" | Several large bouquets were passed to Mrs. Bond during the course of the entertainment One particularly beautiful bunch of sweet peas was the token of appreciation of the Mu- sician's club.
 There is little more to be said about the entertainment provided by Mrs. Bond unless it 1t to emphasize the fact that the success of 1t was | due, not alone to her inimitable clev- erness and originality, but to her ir- | resistible personality
