An Australian Plant Pest.

Just thirty years ago lady at
Bright, Victoria, planted in her garden
few seeds of st. Johns wort sent
her from the old country. The lady's
intention was to have one or two of
the plants at hand for medicinal pur-
poses. The hardy weed, however, soon
spread beyond the garden. and before
anyone had grasped the magnitude of
the evil it had been carried by cattle
along all the main stock routes and
jumped the Victorian watershed into
Gippsland. 1t has now completely ia.
ken possession of something like co..
900 acres of agricultural land, and the
agricultural department of Victoria is
spending thousands of pounds in the
Iendeavor to eradicate it, some of the
methods tried costing nearly ESQ an
acre.-Westminst Gazette.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY

Is now here, the owner hav-
ing extended the time for
SIXTY DAYS ONLY for
the sale of the Monte Christie
Lands at the old price and
and terms, owing to delaying
of expected improvements.
Now, if you would Make a
killing" get busy.
Values are increasing so
rapidly in this Rio Grande
Valley that it is firmly be-
lieved by our most experience
ed farmers that these farms
that you can now buy for $50
per acre will be worth $500
to $1,000 per acre within a few
years. We have today over
500 purchasers on our books,
most Of whom bought with

are glad to state that all who
have mape an investment are
wild with enthusiasm over
their purchase of the Monte
Christie lands.

A Tray Cloth.

In the first place, a tray cloth
should fit exactly the tray for which it
is designed. Lay the tray over paper
and trace the outline of the bottom of it.
or draw the design upon linen mate
rails and with small stiletto punch
the holes, if your aim be the effective
Madeira work, being careful to secure
small and even openings. Now bind,
very evenly, each hole in the regular
eyelet stitch and finish the edge with
simple scallops. OF course, the de-
sign depends upon the neatness and
accuracy of stitch, and the amount of
work is regulated largely by the time
of the maker; but whether few eye.
let's or many, the charm of this simple
embroidery is indisputable.

is newt old things can ever be new.
1t is, at any rate. revival, and the
lace work, which is of the hand-run
variety, extends down the whole front
edge, like the border on delicate
lace curtain.
With the veil laid simply over the
top of the head and falling gracefully
down over the sides of the face, the
whole border of lace is in evidence.
Tulle, a little heavier than the
most perishable illusion, is chosen for
wells that are to be thus embroidered.

I FURNISHING THE POLITICAL
FIREWORKS.

Senator Perry. of Gainesville, is the
latest candidate for governor. Sena-
tor Perry PUSHES in where others fear
to tread. He believes, he says in his
announcement, that Georgia must not
be branded as reactionary." AS he
views it, ''the great progressive poll
cies of 1906" must be continued.
Senator Perry is unnecessarily dis
tu~bing his piece of mind by being a
candidate for governor. He hasn't
the ghost of show of being elect
ed. The fear that disturbs his sleep
and haunts the midnight hour is sim
ply Pigment of an imagination over
heated, in all likelihood, by a re-
perusal of the Smith orations of four
years ago. Georgia is in no danger
of any "reactienary' movement. Per-
rvs clarion cry to arms for fear that
the people will not continue to gov
ern this state is simply a vain repeti-
ton of the old cry of wolf wolf. The
people are governing in Georgia, are
governing well, are satisfied with the
results and propose to continue gov
erning along the lines that have mark
ed the state for the past year.
| Senator Perry leaves the result f
his candidacy to the will of God and
the votes of a patriotic people. Ii would
be sacril geous to attempt to read the
mind of God. But speaking for the
people we do not feel that we are in
curing any danger of being posted as
a false prophet by tipping the sena-
tor off to the fact that the votes will
be largely one way, SO far as he is con-
cerned. The senator need not unJely
rack his brain for material for an in
auguration address. He says he is
not an adept in politics, but he can
keep the flag of reform waving" The
fact that he is a gubernatorial candi-
date this year shows all too plainly
that he rally is not an adept in poll
tics, and as far as the flag is con-
cerned, it may be an ornament to the
senator's front lawn at Gainesville

king is in residence there, and it is

BRYAN RETURNS TO HIS
ATTACK ON HUGHES
Says He Did Not Expect to Escape the
Criticism for Former Comment.

Lincoln, Nab, May 23.-Mr. Bryan
says in the current issue of The Com.
moner:
Mr.. Bryan did not expect to escape
criticism when he called attention #
Gov Hughes record. When any one ex.
poses the attempt which the predatory
corporations are making to control the
government, the judicial branch as
well as the executive and the legisIa.
tive, he must expect to be denounced
not only by the corporations, but by
those who have been fooled by the cor.
porations. Mr.. Taft will not answer
the criticism that Mr.. Bryan made The
facts upon which the criticism is
based are admitted.
Did not Gov. Hughes veto the two
cent rate bill? Did not Gov. Hughes
lead the fight against the income tax
amendment, and did he not succeed
in defeating it in his own state
No other governor has undertaken
this, and even Gov. Hughes with all of
his influence succeeded in defeating it
by very small majority.
Gov. Hughes may not, as expected,
take the side of the trust magnates in
cases that will come before the court,
but if he does not he will disappoint
those who are most delighted with his
appointment; if he is not thick and
thin advocate of the so-called bust
ness methods which are deemed legit-
innate by Wall street, but which are
denounced by nine-tenths of people.

Why things are dear no two agree
All know they're much too dear!
