WHY THE ROSE HAS TH0RNS
They Are There for the Protection Of
the Stalks, Is Explanation Of
Their Presence.

Every one has wondered at some
time or other just why there should
be thorns on rose bushes. Natural
lists have answered this by declaring
they were there solely for the protec
ton of the stalks.
Rose bush stalks, as It is known.
are extremely tender and watery,
thereby bending or breaking easily,
and animals running wild through
such bushes would soon kill them,
and once broken or bent over the
sap exudes and the branches die. But
with these thorns on their stalk all
animals o o learn to keep away from
such bushes. but If they go through
them they do 1t very carefully.
While this answer Of the natural.
lists, as to why there are thoIns or
rose bushes, was quite satisfactory, 1t
has been discovered that there are
other reasons for the dangerous prick
ers. Chief among these other reasons
is that the top of the thorn, which
always grows very smooth and slight
ly fattened, is used as a rest for the
branches of the same bush as they
~1nterlace.
Heavy rains, heavy dews and
branches full of roses In full bloom
would naturally bear them down tc
the breaking point If they were al
lowed to bend far enough, and they
cannot fall very far before they strike
against the tops of these thorns. ant
are thereby held securely in place. sc
that even a stiff gale Of wind will not
blow down the rose bush, while II
would teal other %shrubbery into bits

The Alexander Band.

1t was a great day in the history OF
that small town. The currents and
cross currents of politics had swirled

Patriotism was playing thunder with

platform, looked as wise as a treefui

crowd right off its feet. He began
with a reference to his noble candi-
date, who, full Of patriotism, ambition,
and a desire to get the salary. was
willing to have himself elected.
How Alexander wept for other
worlds to conquer, you, most Of you,

BATTLE
j.. IN ~PENI1ENTIARY
TWO MUTINEERS SLAIN, ANI
EIGHT CITIZENS DEAD.
TROOPS ARE CALLED FOR
Fierce Battle Within Prison Between
the Guards and Prisoners. Over
Twenty Convicts Get Away and
Start a Riot in Town.

Rawlins, Wyo.-A battle ragged In
the state penitentiary. Locked inside
the walls with hundreds of mutinous
prisoners, a few guards fought desper-
ately to restore order and prevent a
Wholesale Jail delivery.
Camped outside the walls was a force
of citizens heavily armed, ready to drive
back the convicts if they murdered the
remaining guards and made a rush
through the gates. Shouts and occa-
sional shots told of desperate fighting
within the walls.
Another battle was in progress at the
same time in the hills south of Raw
Inns, between a posse of citizens and
from twenty to forty escaped prisoners.
Two men were killed in the streets of
Rawlins, one was desperately wounded
ana two c~onvicts were recaptured, fol-
lowing the escape of from ten to thirty
prisoners.
Frantic kilograms were sent to Gov.
carey, imploring him to send state
troops to protect the citizens. Towns
people barricaded themselves in their
homes or heavily armed patrolled the
streets.
The outbreak was the second within
twenty-four hours. Twenty prisoners
escaped and nine were recaptured. A
party of desperate life-termers overpow-
cred the keeper of the dollhouse, took
his keys and released their comrades
in their cells. Every prisoner willing
to risk a battle with the guards made
a rush for the gates.
A moment later the citizens of the
town heard a fusillade of shots within
the walls. A bedlam of shouts and yells
later more than a dozen men dashed
down the main street armed with guns
and knives. Holding the few citizens or
the street at bay with revolvers, they
charged into a livery barn, holding ny
the proprietor and hastily throwing sad
dies and brides on the horses.
A huge negro with a revolver was left
as guard on the outside. Charles Stress
ner had heard the commotion and cam,
down the street with a shotgun. TIL,
negro shot him through the head, kill
ing him instantly.
At the sound of the shot the convict
: swarmed from the barn, some with stol
. en- horses and some afoot. A Mexican
! wantonly stabbed the proprietor in tn
: face, severely wounding him, and a fey
i seconds later paid for the Iced with hi
G life. Hugh Rogner, a deputy sheriff
shot him twice, killing him almost in
8 stantly.
' Leaving their dying comrade, the cor
victs made a dash for the rocky hill
south of the town. A party of peniter
tiary guards followed in close pursui
and before the bewildered citizens ha
time to form a posse, p%ursuers and fug
tives had disappeared among the hills.

He Must Be Absolutely Quiet for Week,
Say Doctors-Colonel Shows Game
ness and Wishes to Continue
Speaking.

Chicago, nl.-The bullet which
Schranck fired into Col. Roosevelt's breast
Monday night at Milwaukee was located
against the fourth rib and on the right
side. 1t entered the body W inches
below the right nipple and ranged up
ward and inward for a distance OF our

By only the infinitesimal fraction OF one
inch did it miss the liver and the plural

The massive character of the ex-presi-

alreay been seriously impeded by the
objects encountered on its way.
These were;
First-A thick overcoat.
Second-A rusty black broadcloth
frock coat, the one the colonel has worn
through this and apparently through
many other campaigns.
Third-One hundred thicknesses of
heavy typewriter paper, containing his
speech for the night in Milwaukee, fifty
pages folded double,
Fourth-A gunmetal spectacle case,
containing the big tortoise shell spec
tacles the colonel uses for reading
glasses.
Fifth-A balck vest lined with silk.
Sixth-A madras shirt.
Seventh-A wooden undershirt.
Col. Roosevelt was not merely super
ficially wounded by the bullet fired into
his breast by John Schrank, it was de-
termined by surgeons, after allday ex-
aminations and consultations; and the
colonel must not see or speak to any one
for several days without permission OF
the doctors.
The wound was definitely described as
a serious wound in the chest, and mot
a mere flesh wound" This late bulletin
which prohibited communication between
the colonel and Others than his attend
