THoRNLESS ROSES

This is the day in which old adages
are being relegated to the scrap heap,
and the one about every rose having
its thorn will now havs to give way
before the advance o. science. 1t
seems that woman, Mrs w. J. Beggs
of Seattle, has succeeded in producing
this prickless variety. For years she
was neighbor Of Luther Burbank, the
California wizard; each tried to pro
duce the thornless rose, but without
success. Then Mrs. Beggs concluded
that the trouble lay in the climate,
and she moved to Seattle, where she
succeeded in producing flower Of
great beauty and Of fragrance which
is second to that of none Of the roses
which grow. The stem is smooth like
that Of a lily.-Pathfinder

Tragic Fate Long Puraues a Family

the present Cumming generation, was
a sailor Of Salem, Mass, and went
down with his ship when Miss Cum
ming was a young girl. Her tathel
was blown to death in a boiler eX
plosion in Salem. He.was a merchani
and simply happened along when the
boiler let loose. Only parts OF his
body were recovered. one sister was
breaking wood over her knee wher
she fractured her lneecap. The les
was amputated but gangrene caused
her death. Another was killed by q
snowfall in which a stone was i'm
bedded and third was caught while
packing a trunk The lid crushed hel
head.
The unhappy fate of the family
seemed to descend to the branches, fo'
one of Miss Cummings nephews was
lost in the San Francisco earthquake
in one of the collapsed buildings which
took fire. A brother of this lad, En-
sign Matthews, had perished on the
Maine in Havana harbor. These trag
edies so preyed on the mind Of the
mother, Miss Cummings sister, that
she became violently insane and is
now in a Massachusetts, asylum. Now
the last near relative Of Miss Cum
ming is in a hospital, and it is impossi
BILE to say whether she will escape
the family fate or not.

scheme being yellow; especially fitting
for this month as November claims
the topaz and the chrysanthemum; in
this instance 1t was also the brides
birthday month as we'll as her we'd

there was mound of yellow NUNS
kept in place by embedding the stems
in sand. At each place there was a
little yellow jardiniere containing one
stiff, straight little yellow mum" to
which the name card was attached
with yellow ribbon. The grape fruit
cocktail had a wee mum" in the CEN
ter of the fruit; around the stem of
the glass there was a fluffy bow OF
white tulle. The plates on which the
frappe glasses stood had wreath OF
yellow NUNS" around them and the
ice-cream was in boxes concealed by
petals of yellow crepe paper NUNS .
The candle sticks were of silver and
had yellow shades. At each place
were yellow slippers filled with sailed
nuts. Just the bridal party were in
