JUDGE WELLS of Prescott has been prevailed upon to make the race against Geo. U. Young for the republican nomination for governor. The republicans are making grave mistake in getting Judge Wells to enter the race. Geo. U. Young is the only hope of the republican party for governor, but it appears that his progressive views are not endorsed by the party leaders. How, ever, it will be found that Young will roll up big vote at the pri- mary, and secure tue nomination with ease. In the event of his nom- ination politics will be forgotten by thousands of democrats, who want a chance to vote for Young for gov ernor-Parker Post.

CARE OF HOUSE PLANT
PROPER WATERING THE MOST
IMPORTANT DUTY.
Water Should BE Of Same Tempera-
ture as Room and Not Adrlnls-

Spray the Foliage.

Watering is by far the most i'm
portant duty In taking care of the In.
door garden. Sickly plants. In six
cases out OF ten, are the result OF be-
ing watered Just whenever the owner
happens to think of II. A good per
centage Of the remainder are caused
by an excess of water. Too much is
as bad as too little. When over-wa-
tered the roots are unable to absorb
all the moisture. This causes the soil
to become soaked. thus excluding the
air Then the earth becomes sour, the
roots decay, and the leaves of the
plant turn yellow and fall OF. When
under-watered, the roots dry up with
similar results.
All potted plants should be watch.
ed. Rub a pinch of the soil between
the fingers. III II crumbles up with
out caking. then you know II IL time
to administer water; IL 1t cakes, then
there is still enough moisture unab-
sorbed The water should be af the
same temperature as the room in
which the plants are kept and should
be clear.
People who pour the hot water left
the bottom Of the tea kettle on their
flowers must not be surprised II the
roots are scalded to death. The plant
should be allowed to stand and drain
for some time. Then the excess in
the saucer or jardiniere must be emp
tied out. When the flowers are in
window boxes, by the way, holes
should be drilled in the bottoms of
the boxes in order to allow the excess
moisture to drain off.
Swinging is also important. All
plants should be so treated except
those whose leaves are covered with
hairs. The value of Swinging is that
1t helps to keep the foliage clean, the
breathing pores of the plants open
and the leaves and stems free from
insects.
On warm days this Swinging should
be done outside, putting the plants
where they can get the sun while TAX
ing their bath. 1t is better not to use
nozzle, but place the thumb ovel
the opening of the hose and spray the
water so that it may fall on the leaves
like rain. In cold weather this should
be done in the bathroom.
Plants with large and tough leaves,
such as palms and rubber plants, need
to be sponged from time to time. Do
this lightly and don't rub the leaves.

oBeYeD HIS ORDERS
Panama Policeman Told to Arrest
Any Person Jumping on or of
Moving Train.

The native Panamanians in the
canal zone do not in every instance
take kindly to the strange army of
| 10000 workmen who have invaded
their land. Even when affable and
obliging. they cannot grasp the pur-
poses of the white men, and their
efforts to serve are of little avail.
Hugh c. Weir, in "The Conquest Of
the Isthmus," illustrates the point
BY an amusing story.
A short time ago the railroad Of
fcials we're troubled by the number
Of unauthorized passengers on the
freight trains. In spite of the most
rigid efforts to solve the problem,
the situation was not improved, and
finally a number Of native patrol
men were stationed along the track
with strict orders to arrest any per-
son jumping on or off a moving
train.
Something less than day later
one of the guards stumbled into the
Culebra station in a much ruff1ed
condition, dragging after him a
vainly protesting captive. Beth had
evidently been through a rough-and-
tumble fight, and there we're unmis-
taxable signs that it had not been
finished to the satisfaction of either.
A crowd gathered on the run as
the guard explained to the station
Caught dis man hoppin' on
dat train about a mile down de
road, sah."
The prisoner endeavored frantic
ally to make himself heard, but the
patrolman threatened him into 81
lence with his stick. 'He was half
way to de roof when / grabbed him,
sah."
Again the prisoner struggled, and
again his captor produced the club.
''But | yanked him to de ground,
sab, just as you told me, and here he
am, sah."
With a desperate effort the pris-
oner finally jerked himself free. He
was the brakeman.

THE HANDKERCHIEF.

The fact that we all use square
handkerchiefs is due to fancy Of
Queen Marie Antoinette. Before her
time such persons as used handker-
chiefs were not particular as to the
shape; any piece of cloth, rectangu-
lar, triangular, oval or spherical,
would do, for the japanese usage of
paper was still unknown. The
queen expressed her preference for
an exact square, and on January 2,
1885, Louis XVI. published a de-
cree stating that thereafter the
length and breadth of handkerchiefs
made in this kingdom shall be
equal"
The revolution had little use for
handkerchiefs, SO that the law re-
NAMED on the statute books. The
shape of the handkerchief survives
as a memorial of Marie Antoinette's
taste, and those who wish to may
celebrate the one hundred and twen-
ty-ffth anniversary of the fashion.
