The following poems by we'll

But the Irishman with his piece of
pipe will last forever and

TAFT AND ST, PATRICK
THE BIGGEST MEN,

When the president arrived at
the La Sale hotel he expressed
sympathy for the woman who had
dashed before his automobile. He
asked her name and was informed
that she gave the police the name
of Mrs. Jennie Mud. and her age
as 65.
The president was told that she
was being held pending an investi-
cation of her mental condition. She
told the police that Taft and st.
Patrick are the biggest men ON
earth" and also that she wanted to
ride on the front end of Taft's auto
mobile. In the course of the day
Taft encountered huge automC-
bile filled with militant suffragets
and bearing the sign. "No votes;

OSTRANDER FOR

BELIEVES FINAL DECISION OF
FRANCHISE CONTROVERSY
SHOULD REST WITH
PEOPLE.

"a suggest that the railroads
put the terminal rate question
up to a vote of all the people,"
said Councilman Ostrander to-
day. "a am just as determined
as ever to force terminal rates
from the roads at this time. !,
however, believe in the 'peo-
ple's rule and am willing that
the final word on this question
be by the people.
"The railways can secure a
special election on these fran
chises and want them to do
so. realize that the franchise
must come from the council to
be legal, but the roads can force
the council to grant the fran
chises by a referendum vote, as
was done by the Home Tele-
phone Co. If majority Of the
people want to support the
roads we can find it out in this
Way."

fair.
The slumbers of the president
were disturbed by shindy between
secret service men and a lineman
for wireless telephone company.
The lineman insisted that he
should install wireless telephone
in the presidents car. The secret
service guards of the president
ruled otherwise. The lineman en-
deavored to back up his argument
by waving a section Of rubber hose
as a shillelah, but was speedily sub
dued by the government agents,

Long John" Sullivan, chief of DO
lice, Is said to be ready to quit. His
reason is given as lack of support
by the mayor. Sullivan has said, to
his intimate friends, that he made
scores of enemies since going into
office in order to aid the Pratt ad-
minstration in a semblance of car
rying out its pledges. Now, when
the chief and the police department
are under fire, it is said that he has
found himself but poorly backed up
by the chief executive.
1t would not surprise some of the
knowing ones around the city hall
to see Sullivan throw up the job in
disgust almost any day. This last
attack, since the nlatron fight be-
gan, has worried Sullivan a great
deal and his buoyant spirits of a
few weeks ago have faded away.

that the head of the city govern

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

| Never pinch geraniums at the flow
aring joint-always one above or one
| below.
The most efficient remedy which
| has been found for the plum curculio
is arsenical spraying.
For heavy clay soil there is no
better apple than York Imperial.
Winesap does better on lighter soil.
Friendly cooperation of all the or
chardists in fruit growing districts is
as desirable as it is difficult to secure.
Spirea Japonica can be fastened at

See that the roots are kept always
moist.
The mixed border is very interest
ing and may be made beautiful II
proper skill is used in grouping the
plants.
GIoxinias may be raised from seeds
or propagated from stem or leaf cut
ting. Has blossoms of many colors
and is easily cared for.
The lawn is the principal part of
the home grounds and no planting,
whether of flowers, shrubs or trees,
should mar it's unity or scope.
Four pounds of resin, two pounds
tallow and one pound beeswax melted
together and pulled like molasses
candy makes grating wax. Use it
warm with creased hands.
Many plants are effective in indi-
vidual borders, among which are as
tiers, salvias, calladiums, hollyhocks,
irises, cannas, hydrangeas and the
hardy perennial phlox.
In these days of tree planting it
cannot be repeated enough that newly
planted trees need plenty of moisture.
If the air is dry they can only get
water through the roots, hence they
need it often.
Tobacco has been grown success
fully in Mexico for hundreds of years.
The soil that produces it year after

come exhausted.

Civilization and Missions

There is d question that is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral well-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
resentative of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man of government and trade, and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per-
manent and continue blessing to any
people if, in addition to promoting
their material well-being, it also
stands for an orderly individual liber-
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in single genera
ton has been remarkable.

members of the commission being
General Candy. Captain Jack asked
for a parley with the commission, and
the request was granted. AS soon as
General Candy and his fellow commits
sion members met the Indians Jack
and his following opened fire and
killed every member of the peace
party.
The Modocs then took to the lava
beds of the northwest and it was
found to be impossible to dislodge
them by means of direct assault. The
troops engaged. against the Indians at
the first were cavalrymen, and all
their operations had to be conducted
dismounted.
A battery of the Fourth artillery, to
which Lieutenant Howe was attached,
was sent to the front, and the Smelling
of the Indians position was begun. 1t
took long time to dislodge them, for
the lava beds were full of caves which
made excellent bomb-proofs.
Finally, however, starvation did
what shells could not do, and the Mo
docs surrendered. Captain Jack, Scar
Faced Charlie, Jim and one or two
other Modocs were hanged for the
murder Of the peace commissioners.
Brigadier General Howe entered
the United States Military academy
as a cadet during the civil war. 1t
was only a few years after he was
graduated that the light battery to
which he was attached was sent to
the plains country and thence to Ore
gon.
After the Modoc war was over it
became the practise to attach light
batteries to eXpeditionary forces in
the field against the Indians, and
Lieutenant Howe served in the Sioux
campaign of 1876, a campaign which
saw the wiping out of General Gus
ter and three squadrons of the Sew
enth cavalry, the temporary triumph
of Sitting Bull and then the final
rounding up of several thousands of
Sioux warriors who had taken to the
warpath because of the invasion of
their country by the whites.
In the army General Howe is known
as one of the most proficient students
in the artillery branch of the service.
He was graduated from the artillery
school in 1873 and has served with
both the field and the sea coast
branches of the service.
The whole artillery system has I'M
dergone radical transformation and
with the introduction of modern rapid
fire guns for field service and the
heavy rifled breech-loading disappear
ing carriage guns of the coast service
the artillery officers have been COM
PEELED to adapt themselves to a con-
slant succession of changes. AS an
instructor and as a commanding Of
ficer General Howe has won great
prominence. His active service with
the army will end in December next.

VETERAN TO RETIRE
General Howe, Old Indian Fighter,
viii Quit the Army Soon.
Took Active Part in Fight Against
Captain Jack and His Braves
One of Few Survivors of
Modoc Campaign.

Washington.-Brig Gen. Walter
Howe, United States army, who re-
Gently was in command of the depart
ment of the east in the temporary abb
sence Of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, has
served in the artillery forces for 46
years.
General Howe is soon to retire from
the service under the age limit He
is one of the few survivors of the Of
ficers of the United States army who
took part in the campaign years ago
against Captain Jack and his fellow
braves of the Modoc tribe in the far
northwest.
1t was during the campaign against
the Modocs that artillery was used by
the white soldiers as a weapon of Of
tense against Indians who had taken
the warpath. At that time General
Howe was second lieutenant serv-
ing with light battery of the Fourth
artillery.
Captain Jack and Scar-Faced Char
lie, Modoc chiefs, and their following
resented the attempt which was made
to get them to leave land on which
their tribe had dwelt for years.
Peace commissioners were sent to
treat with the Indians, one of the
