What tho Word "Ginger" Means.

At the very mention of the word
ginger" our thoughts usually ~evert
to those happy childhood days when
we would steal into our neighbors'
orchards, shin UP our fayorite apple
tree flor what young savage does not
have thorough knowledge of the best
apple trees in his neighborhoodO and
when we'll located where the leaves
and branches are thickest, and pro-
ceed to fill our poor "tummy" with the
very greenest of green apples; and
then when the little green fellows be-
gin to get in their revenge, run home
to mother and tell her that something
you must have eaten for dinner does
not seem to agree with your stomach;
sus.then mother dear begins to look
80 III he iatcis III t1oT miniature
drug store, located in the cellar way
or on the top shelf of the old cupboa d
that stands il the summer kitchen,
where tiny fingers cannot reach the
precious bottles, and finally picking
out bottle labeled after one of the
favorite islands of the beautiful Antil-
les, mixes concocti0n that will help
to soothe the awful gripping pain that
is causing so much trouble under your
waist.
=. This is the common association of
the word ginger. The majority of
people do not know the real meaning
of such a simple word, other than in
its most commonly applied sense.
Ginger is the stuff life is made of.
What is it makes a man brave the
bullets of the enemy Oil the field of
battle, that he may plant his country's
flag on the battlements of the en-
trenched forces? What is it makes a
man get up at 3 in the morning that
he may drive ten or fifteen miles and
be the first one on the lake when the
fish are biting, or makes him get up
at that unearthly hour so that he may
have tie grass cut before wifey has to
get breakfast? What makes him get
out and chase a baseball or golfball
over ter-acIe lot by the hour, and
all the tine telling you what per-
fectly delightful time he is having?
What is it makes a man spend weeks
another man on busi-
ness proposition, finally landing just

where he intended to? What is 1t
makes him do all these things, and
many similar stunts?
Ginger-that's what 1t is.
Some people call 1t nerve, grit, per-
severance, enthusiasm, and many
other similar and dissimilar names.
1t is all contained in the simple word
ginger. Ginger" is the single wo:d
in the English vocabulary that ex-
presses at once that a manor a wo-
man, either, for that matter-has real
live blood coursing through his veins.
1t means that he would brave the bit
ter cold Of the far north, or climb the
highest mountain peak. dive into the
deepest sea, or go aloft when the
seething flames spell death to those
who would venture in to save a life.
Without ginger the wheels Of com>
merce and trade, scientific research
and investigation, discovery, art, and
literature and all the other things that
90 to make life worth the living, would
be clogged with dust and humanity
would waste, falter and fade. Without
ginger the brain cells would turn to
punk, the red corpuscles would turn
to water, and we would be race Of
molly-coddles.
Say, have you got any ginger? You
you, l mean. Have you any ginger?
If you haven't any ginger, you had
better renovate your system and get
some ginger in your veins, if you want
to be in the race for the almighty dol
lar and claim success in any particu-
lar line. Get ginger!

Stricklin can get roots free for all who
want them. Now is the time to plant
A most unusual thing-not rightly
an evergreen-is seen at Mrs. John H.
Powe's: a Marechal Mel rose in full,
green summer foliage. This rose, as
everybody knows, is semi-evergreen,
with most of the leaves a broWnish
green; but the vine of Mrs. Powe is
as green and fresh and vigorous as
If it were April instead of January.
This is magnificent plant-by far the
finest in town; 1t has more blooms,
and they are larger and darker yellow
than any other vine around here, and
has never a rose with a wrinkled petal
or blighted outer leaves.
And now, with all our flowers, trees
and vines, what about the birds that
live in town? Who is doing anything
to encourage birds to build near them?
What are We doing to insure US one Of
our greatest outdoor pleasures-the
sight and songs Of birds? They are so
easily encouraged! and respond to
little kindness so soon! Put up box
or two for bluebirds; scatter a few
crumbs each day; allow no shooting
nor molesting of birds around YOU
then wait. A mockingbird nest in
the vines of YOUR riazz; a catbird
building in a bush beside your win
dow, and a family Of bluebirds in the
yard pay thousand fold for the little
trobule you hav taken.

that the New Zealanders" who gave
such a delightful entertainment here

arose there and If similar condition
had arisen elsewhere in the country
the result would have been the same"
He told OF the effort of Governor
Deneen to defeat Shurtleff. saying that
the governor had gone so far as to
tell members that unless they voted
against Shurtleff they would be de-
prived of all patronage.
In other words. the governor of our
state undertook to dictate who should
be speaker
crawford's Sharp Query.
why was not this fact put in the
record?" interiected Senator Craw ford,
so that Governor Deneen could make
reply as the senator is now making a
statement hera?"
Mr.. Lorimer said he could not reply
fully, as he had not been a member
of the investigating committee. Mr..
Hepburn protested against the aues
ton. but MIR. Lorimer declared he did
not object to questions.
Quoting MIR. Crawford's allegation
that he had organized the legislature
TO defeat Deneen. MIR. Lorimer said that
of "a republicans who voted for Shurt
left for speaker IL had at some time in
the contest voted for Hopkins for sem
ator.
If the theory that had been stay
ing up nights and conjuring up dark
lantern schemes be true. how can you
prove it by this record?" he asked.
Suppose that a president of the United
States should cali in the senators Of
his party and tell them whom he
the Senate, and that unless they did
his bidding they would get no patron
age; that every last man employed
should be dismissed.
Suppose president should fall so
low and that he succeeded in getting a
majority to the exclusion of one man,
what do you suppose would be done?
Why it would not take day to induce
the senators to cross the party line and
organize. The Illinois legislature did
what any sensible men would do-they
crossed the party line and organized.
Warm Attack on Deneen.
IF the governor had attended to his
own business, Mr. Shurtleff would have
been elected by a unanimous party
vote.
Mr.. Lorimer defended the speak ker
against the charges of corruption. He
said that i'm neither of his previous
terms had he assisted Shurtleff.
1 He owes me nothing. | was not on
more than speaking terms when he
went to Springfield to secure waterway
legislation. In view of these facts that
he should be known as my henchman
is the most absurd charge that i have
ever heard in the Senate or amy other
] body"
Mr.. Lorimer declared that it was un-
true that Shurtleff had been elected at
his Lorimer's) instance. On the con-
trary, he was Hopkins candidate and
was chosen by that gentleman's friends
/ at the Illinois house.
Mr. Shurtleff had pledged his sup
port for the Senate to a personal friend
of his. but Notwithstanding this fact
/ had been chosen speaker because OF
/ his standing Mr. Lorimer also con-
I tended that Shurtlcff had been friend
/ of Hopkins and supported him in his
first campaign for the Senate.

The Defeat Of Hopkins.

of his remarks. Mr.. Lorimer said there
had been an effort to cover the case
with a veil of suspicion. 1t had been
!. charged that some one person with a
powerful mind had organized the leg
islatnre to defeat Senator Hopkins.
Some senators have intimated that
the man with the powerful mind and
an organizing genius was myself. ne

serted. that he had been guilty of cor
rupt practices in his own interest.
Taking up one of Senator Crawford
charges, Mr.. Lorimer declared any one
who knew aught of the Illinois legis-
lature would not assert that he sought
to organize the legislature against
Governor Deneen. To organize legis-
lature SO as TO include democrats and
republicans requires effort. From
September 10 to November. he had
been confined to his home by illness
and had not been able to appear un-
