 sss4ss'' s;s9ss .sss sss ss sas 4 which have great poetic charm. For example, the poet Altar wrote '"Tha Book cf the Nightingale" telling how all t.le other birds appeared in anger before the throne of Solomon, asking him to destroy the nightingale, which would not allow them to rest by night, but poured forth it's lays when peaceful silence should re!gl all over earth. After prolonged ar gument the bird was acquitted, for it ex- plained with such pathos that it's untimely melodies could not be restrained because of it's frenzied love for the rose, passion so hopeless and undying that it could never be made voiceless. Another Per sian belief is that nightingales always die beneath rose bushes, stupefied by the scent. Jamie, a Persian poet, wrote of how the first rose appeared in Gulistan at the time the flowers demanded a new sovereign from Allah, because the drowsy lotus would slumber at night At first tho maiden queen blossom was shown white, and encircled with a protecting guard of thorns. but the poor nightingale fell into such an ectacy of love over her charms and so recklessly pressed his lovelorn hear. against those cruel thorns that his blood, so far as it could trickle into the flowers bosom, dyed it crimson"
 Another fancy states that the perfume of the rose was gained from cup of nec- tar thrown over it by the little god Cupid while it's thorns were those stings of bees used ty him as arrows in his wrath al finding some roses scentless, after all his trouble.
 The beds of the shahs of Persia in an cent times were filled with rose petals, which had to be often scattered lest they becarae uncomfortable. This must surely have been the origin of the familiar say ing: ''He would complain of bed of roses" It was also claimed that a rose liquor would "by one glassful make the sternest monarch mercfu or the sickliest mortal slumber amid his pains"
 The rose is emblematical of joy and love,

LEGENDS ABOUT THE ROSE

 The reputed origin of the moss rose is so pretty a tale that it will have a TO- mantle interest for all that love that old world and delightful member of the great rose family. It appears that in the long ago, the angel whose task it was to tend the flowers, weared with his 1abors, fell asleep beneath a rose bush, and on waking refreshed with its perfume and the shade It had afforded him, bade 1t ask for any boon it wished.
 ], Give me-" said the rose, some further charm" and the angel stopping picked some of the moss on which he had been Tying, and enveloped the flowers with it, telling them that this green covering, be- ing the emblem of modesty and humility, would make "the moss rose'' the fairest of it's species and it's queen for all time.

This most versatile lady was made much of over here, and Lord Mansfield, the owner of Caen Wood, who was then over 80, was among her admirers, and asked permission to visit her. He discoy- cred from a French peerage that her brthoay was July 10, and to her delight she received from him on the morning of that day basket of moss roses. When, her visit came to an end, the gallant old nobleman presented her with fine large moss rose tree out of his garden. Upon her return to France, Mime. de Genlis gave some slips of the tree to the famous Parisian nurseryman, Perroy and in this way the plant was propagated in France, where it had been hitherto unknown.

Rogers Faces Long
Term IN Prison

Las Vegas, N. NJ, May as.-
Pale, hollowed-eyed and apparent
ly about ready to weep, Win Rog-
ers, who pleaded guilty last week
to a charge of burglary in connec-
ton with the kidnapping Of little
Waldo Rogers, today stood before
Judge c. J. Roberts in the district
court here and was sentenced to
from FIVE to twelve years in the
territorial peuitentiary at Santa
Fe.
Joe Virgins, ex-convict, con-
victed of the same charge, who
fought the case and was found
guilty, was sentenced at the same
time 70 from seven to twelve wears
in the prison. Although an ac-
eomplice, bis sentence was made
greater than that OF the boy who
ooncocted the kidnapping scheme
and was instrumental in getting
Virgins into the trouble.
Judge Roberts explained that
while he realized that young Rog-
ers was the ringleader, still the
young man had made clean breast
OF the whole affair, had pleaded
guilty, thereby saving the county
expense and had appeared as a
witness against his comrade in
crime.
For this reason the court declar-
ed that he had given him the light.
er sentence. Virgins on the
other hand, had fought the case At
the expense of the county and it
had required a trial TO convict
him. For that reason the court
punished him more severely than
the young man.
There we're several members Of
the Rogers family in court when
Will Rogers was ordered to stand
up. The young man was asked II
therewas anything he could say as
why sentence should not be pro-
nounced, but If he replied, it was
not audible in the court room.
Judge Roberts made a short talk
and then gave the sentence.
The indictments under which
Rogers and Wiggins were sentenc-
ed charged burglary and threats 10
kill. The penalty was from three
10 twelve years.
Rogers and Wiggins, in charge
ot officers, will be taken to Santa
Fe late this afternoon, and tonight
hey will be begin their sentences
behind the steel bars OF the prison
walls.

Washington, May as.-The
house late today adopted by a
viva voce vote the Arizona and

Arizona must vote again on the re-

for Arizona and New Mexico
scheduled for passage before ad-
iournment tonight. the closing
hours today of the long de-
bate on the measure were given
over in large part to speeches de-
nouncing judiciary recall feature

The resolution admitting Ariz.
ona provides that this feature shall
be voted on by the people as a
condition 10 statehood. RepTesen-
tative Houston OF Tennessee, a de-
mocrat, opened the debate today.
The recall OF Judges, be said,
would be not only innovation but
a source OF danger to the integ-
rity OF the courts. Mr.. Houston
eontended that the judiciary OF the
country was on too high = plane
TO have this integrity threatened by
a popular recall at any time.
Mr. Houston was followed by
