and contented himself with assuring
Judge Hagner that things would have

From this time on, however, the his

Bancroft died in 1891, bequeathing the

The famous gardens passed into other

The achange of life" is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of sufocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

on the eve of being able to announce
the success of his red rose ventures.
Once friend from France brought
MIR. Bancroft cutting of a red rose
called Madame Ferdinand Jemain,"
which, although it had failed at home.
was thought to have possibilities in
an American climate. Brady nursed
1t along with fair degree of conscien-
tlousness. none too pleased, likely
enough, that France had been SO pre-
mature in this honorable business.
But the little alien rose bush sickened
land died. and was thrown aside. pre-
sumably at the end of it's history.
Then came the shocking news from
England that William Francis Ben
nett had won the red rose race. He
had had an astonishing luck with his
plants. and had finally established
their hardihocd and their permanence
of color. Bancroft and Brady mourn
ed in secret. True, there was still the
American championship to be tried
for, but the first fine careless rapture
of success had been already captured.
A rose culturist in New York had
the good fortune. about this time. to
make a new flower, which he prompt

either for the historian or his garden
er. So back they went to the Seeding
beds, with renewed determination.
In the face of such touching faith
and such Astounding energy, the fates
were bound to be kind. And so. one
morning. q delighted yell from his
gardener brought Mr.. Bancroft sour
rying into his garden. to find that in
a bed of white and yellow seedlings
there stood strange red rose, look
ing for all the world as if it had come
to stay. Its stem mad stiffness the
like of which had never before bee..
seen. Its petals looked to have the
hardihooi to weather a hundred dis
asters. -
Where 1t had come from nobody
could find out. 1t might have been a
stalwart seed left from the scored
and discredited Mime Ferdinand Je
MAN," and it might have been just
that mysterious freak which the rose
culturist has come to take for granted
under the name of sport"
! At any rate. there it was. and 1t re
manned to be developed.
For it must be known at the outset
that getting single bloom is the least
of the rose culturist's troubles. In fact
it merely marks their beginning.
All new brands of roses are grown
from these curiosities called sports

When this was told to Brady. he

came upon him lifted for long enough

Matters went merrily with the rose

advertising, were able to sell their ex-

The rose was created" as
the phrase goes, in George
Bancroft's famous rose gar
den, by the HISTORIANS errat-
&c old English gardener, John
Brady; 1t was a legacy to
Brady at Mr.. Bancroft's
death, in token of long and
honorable service, and of the
fact that Brady had brought
1t to perfection only after years of in
exhaustible patience and care; and 1t
was sold for pittance, but that is
getting ahead of the story.
Once upon time, in 1889. to be pre-
else, after George Bancroft had re-
turned from long diplomatic service In
Germany, and had settled down to a
tranquilizing old age in his home in
Washington. there grew up among the
lower enthusiasts of England. Amer
lea and the continent a Jealous quest
for red rose which could be made to
bloom in winter.
Mr.. Bancroft's ascendency as a rose
culturist in this country had been be-
yond dispute for half century.
At the time of the Inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln, Mrs. Lincoln de-
SPARED of pleasing herself in the ar
rangements of the White House gar
den, so she called on Mr.. Bancroft for
help. This she received in such good
and flowing measure that. in acknowl-
edgment of her debt, she sent to the
historian a splendid bouquet of ia
ponicas. In reply he wrote her that
for magnifcence, the bouquet was
fair counterpart of Mr.. Lincoln's
brains"
What of official recognition then was
still lacking for Mr.. Bancroft's genius
as a rose grower was supplied by
Herr Bismarck, who so admired the
American minister to Berlin that he
supplied him with roses and rose cut
tings from the great Bismarck estates
in Pomerania
But all this while. despite the genial
international cooperation of rose

purple by noon. and brown by sunset.
Little yellow roses had thrived. time
out of mind. and these, with camellias
and japonicas, were the sole reliance
of those who would have flowers for
winter decoration.
Matters we're in this state when Mr..
Bancroft moved to Washington, bring
ing into his charming old house on
Lafayette square two trusted servants:
Herman, who came from Berlin, and
John Brady, the gardener, from Eng
land.
John Brady was installed in the
quaint L-shaped garden, which ran
back to Seventeenth street. and he was
instructed. among other things. to
reap the glory of creating a tractable
red rose.
The task was one which Jumped
with his own desires. The Bancroft
garden was scarcely less a personal
pride to Brady than to Bancroft. and
both secretly believed that no praise
of 1t could be really to extravagant.
