now, as to how Mr.. Cameron

tage to an outsider, the Arizona
boy not even getting the tradi-
tional mess of pottage, in ex-
change for his birthright, and
was thus betrayed by one chosen
and sworn to do his duty in the
premises. In this our delegate
in congress showed that, It that
early date in his official career,
he had his eyes and his heart
more set on the people of Massa-
chusetts than on the people OF
Arizona, and the logical conclu-
sion can only be that he should
look for it's votes in Massachu-
setts, where he gave his alllgi-
ance, rather than in Ariz ma,
where he did not give it, in this
mldshipman appointment case,
to say nothing of where he
should look for his votes in his
course in Washington on the
statehood matter, when and
where he bitterly opposed the
wishes of about 80 per cent OF
the people of this territory as
expressed at the polls. Tues

Congress Hotel, this city, the

1t is undoubtedly true that the sense OF
parental responsibility is diminishing rather
than increasing. Numerous conditions are
combining to encourage this spirit, and
these conditions may be detected in some
of the institutions of which America is SO

with large flowers, two or three
inches in diameter, ranging in
color from pale lemon-yellow to
deep, rich orange. The smaller,

frost. The flowers are generally
one inch in diameter and are beau

From the Greek and Roman

turtles the tunic, or little girl
dress, was the chief garment for
men. 1t was generally low-neck,
short-sleeyes, tied with a sash at
the waist, and fell to the knee,
but with the advent of the Nor
mans in England it gave way to a
pair of chausses or pants of bril-
liant orange or blue, ornamented
with red crisscross stripes, the
whole covered largely by a long
flowing robe and cloak, also of
different colors. The hats looked
like cheap glass-covered cheese

A WONDERFUL WELD

By the roadside leading to
Mycenae stands an old stone well,
which is said to have wondrous
powers of healing. Here almost
every day may be seen pilgrims
coming to seek its waters. They
drink of it, sometimes taking
away enough for bathing and it's
claimed it often cures their ills.
But what gave the water this
power? One time, so runs the
legend, a holy man called Ikar,
journeying to Mycenae, was set
upon by some wicked robbers who,
after beating and robbing him,
went away leaving the poor man
to die by the roadside.
Many travellers passed by,
too busy or too selfish to help
the injured man. At last Ikar
prayed to God to send aid. Sud-
denly he heard a sweet voice say:
Here lies good Ikar, who hath al
ways helped and been kind to 9TH
ers, We must now help him."
Ikar opened his eyes to behold

Have a flower garden, even
ever so small a one. You can at
least spare a little space for the
brightness and cheerfulness of
flowers. If you have not enough
room for a flower garden, maybe
you can find enough room for
beds here and there. Whether
you want the flowers for house
decorations, or just merely to en-
nance the attractiveness of the
yard, or for both purposes, so
cents will buy sufficient seed of
10 different flowers, which will
give you a supply of flowers all
summer long and up into the late
fall.
Don't forget a rich soil, pulver-
lied seed bed, and the dust
blanket spoken about in previous
articles.
Besides the following, there are
many others, but in our 50-cent
flower garden let us consider
these:
Tall nasturtiums, which can be
sown along a fence. They flower
heavily if given half chance, and
have bright, rich eolors.
Petunias are strong, rapid
growers and free boomers. Sow
early, thin out the young plants to
six inches apart and they will
soon cover the ground and make
a mass of brilliant colors.
Nicatiana, free Towering
plant which grows about two feet
in height and has long, tubular
white flowers, is an excellent
plant for growing in mass or mix
ed bed, and if taken up in the fall
cut back and ported, it will flow
err quite freely during the winter
Phlox Drummondi-Sow mixed
seed early in spring. 1t is very
effective grown in masses. The
type with the starred and
fringed" flowers are especially
fine.
Sweet Peas-By all means have
them; no flower garden is exactly
satisfactory without them. Plant
them deeply in rich soil and as
early as possible. Cover seed with
about two inches of soil and fill
in with more loose earth as the
plants increase in size. A heavy
mulch of straw about the roots tC
retain the moisture and to keel
the soil cool, should be added. Cut
