Memorial day, always hereto
fore a serious problem to the
public-spirited citizens who
have charge Of this work and
who could only plead with the
people OF the community to
get their donations of flowers
to the town hall early, nut
usually found that their most
emphatic appeals were insult
ficient to get the posies to the
rendezvous in time to permit
OF their proper arrangement
in time for the starting OF the
parade at the scheduled hour.
The bringing of flowers to the
larger cities on Memorial day
has been further simplified by
the fact that in many local
tiles special flower trains are
operated by the steam rail-
roads and the interurban troll

extensively on Memorial day-not only in the
ornamentation of dwellings and places of busi-
ness but in marking the graves of fallen heroes
whom it is desired to honor on this occasion.
After all, however, it is flowers which are most
excessively relied upon to express the sentiment
of the occasion. And in the broad term flowers

All told there are infinitely more flowers used
Memorial day than are employed at Easter
and yet the general public does not hear SO much
of the Memorial day flower trade" nor have
its magnitude SO conspicuously brought home
The explanation is found of course, in the cir
cumstance that the Easter flower trade is almost
wholly in the hands of the professional florists

Clever REASONING,

Rather an original lesson In political
economy was that once taught by the
japanese nobleman Awoto and thus
translated by Sir Edwin Arnold In
'Seas and Lands"
One evening as he was going to the
palace to take his turn in keeping the
night watch he let ten cash drop out
Of his tinder case into the stream and
then bought fifty cash worth Of torches
to search for the lost coin. His friends
laughed at him for spending SO much
In order to recover so little. and he re-
piled. with frown:
''Sirs. you are foolish and ignorant Of
economies. Had not sought for these
ten cash they would have been lost
forever-sunk In the bottom of the
Namerigawa. The fifty cash which l
have expended on torches will remain
In the hands Of the tradesman. Wheth-
er he has them or l Is no matter. bur
not q single one Of the sixty has been
lost. and that is clear gain to the
country"

HUSBAND MAPPED
At W|FE'S FEET
Her Gentle Caresses Were
Entirely Proper, Gallant
Jury Rules.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 27-A jury here
decided that a woman has a perfect
right to sleep at the foot of the bed
with her feet resting on her husband s
face.
Mrs. Stella Derringer had sued her
husband, w. b. Derringer. wealthy
wagon manufacturer, because, she said
he repeatedly punched her.
Derringer testified that his wife took
delight in sleeping at the foot of the
bed with her feet resting on his face
and in doing many other thing to
which he was not accustomed.
Among the other thinge he assured
the court that his wife had thrown hot
water in his face while he was asleep
had kicked him on the shins; smashed
a sugar bowl over his head, thrown
seven pounds of flour over him, broke
window panes in a fit of anger. and
elected from the house a friend of
his, whom he had brough home to
sleep.
The wife then testified that her hus-
band had struck her several times.
She said he was widower with five
children when she married him seven
years ago. She asserted that the man
he had brought home with him was a
drunkard and staid in the house two
days.
The Jury decided against the hus.
band. The court postponed sentence
until June to enable husband and
wife to patch up their differences.
