Wins Certificate of Merit.

Friends of Henry J. Symonds have
been watching with much interest
his development of a handsome new
carnation, a seeding with which he
mas been experimenting during the
past three years. 1t is particular
ly large and beautiful carnation, and
has many new points that give II
superiority over other carnations
He recently exhibited it at the Mil
waukee flower show, and we are very
much pleased TO note in the Weekly
Florists Review that he was award
ed a certificate of merit for novelties
upon the showing. The future de-
velopment, of this carnation will be
eagerly watched by his friends al
home, for II promises 10 become wax
uable.

A Des Moines man last week OBJ
tanned a divorce because he did not
believe he and his wife could live to-
gether longer peacefully. He said
she had violent temper; she stuck
a hat pin in his shoulder and broke
it of (the pin, not the shoulder) (.
She chased him with q butcher knife
and watloped him behind the ear
with a beer bottle; used violent and
obscene language; drank liquor I'M
til she became intoxicated; threat
ened his life on several occasions and
annoyed him so he could not attend
to business. Aside from these things
the evidence shows the woman was
all right, and still the Judge granted
the decree.

Pity the Poor Farmer.

A Missouri farmer writes to the

serious Land.Cals to the farm life, Is
tie fact that farmers have nothing
to cat but eggs and chicken. Imagine
the symlatLies that complaint will
arse in the city Tor the poor agri-
cultur SITS! Just think of a condi-
tion that forces the farmers to a
Giet of eggs for breakfast an fried
yong chicken for dinner! To those
who live In town and regard eggs
as a luxury. and where chicken has
become purely company dish"
this picture of the conditions on the
iarm Is most dis.re sing. OF course,
tie average farmers wife VIII find
an occasional variation from the
above mentioned menu. When tne
family rev otis against eggs and good
old country bacon for breakfast
there Is the country smoked ham In
the smoked ouse," and there are
potatoes stored In the cave" and
there will be Jelly and jam and pre-
serves and all the trimming for
a dinner that would make the city
man shout for joy. But shucks!
What Is that to he farmer who has
been used to that all his life?

The cases OF Will Patty, George Muir

students, charged with malicious in
jury, came up for trial in the district
court this morning.
The charge was brought by Pay
master E. II. Cooke, L. s. A., and de-
PENDANTS were alleged 20 have dam
aged a carriage gate and post belong
ing to him last Saturday night, said
damage being done at his residence
at the corner of Wilder avenue and
College street.
The chief witness for the prosecu-
tion was H. e. Hendrick, the tomb
stone man, who had persuaded Captain
Cooke to prosecute.
When put on the stand he had no
damaging evidence to- offer whatever,
his conclusions turning out to be
merely presumptions. He had seen
Patty and Webster near the gate about
7 o'clock on the night in question, and
about the same time had heard a
splash in the Makiki stream; that was
all.
Captain Cooke went back as far as
Halloween night on which evening
ne testified that his carriage gate and
posts were removed and one-half hung
on telephone pole at the corner of
MakiH street. The other half he
hasn't succeeded in locating to this
day.
He replaced the other half and last
Saturday night the gate was again
carried away. This made him sore,
fer, although he was willing to excuse
the Halloween prank, he didn't ap-
prove of the practice of lifting his gate
every time someone felt in humor,
some mood.
