Nothing can be said in praise Of the
rose that has not been said before.
Universally recognized as the most
beautiful flower, 1t is the one child of
Flora around which q wealth Of senti-
ment. history and poetry clusters. The
maidens Of ancient Greece and Rome
garlands Of roses, as does the maiden
of today, and then as now the rose
was regarded as the emblem Of beauty
and true worth, fit to crown queen.
No wonder, then, that 1t is so highly
esteemed that even the orchid, SO
often regarded as its rival, will never
supersede it in popular estimation.
OF late the beauty of the rose has
been so widely appreciated that the
popularity 1t now enjoys and the de-
mand for hardy garden roses are an
nually increasing. No garden is COM
plete without roses and every family
ought to. grow them in abundance. for
never have roses been SO cheap and
beautiful as now. Moreover. the culti-
walton Of the flower is SO simple that
no excuse can be offered for its neg
lect.
The first requisite for success In
rose growing is the selection of good
healthy plants. Weak. sickly roses
are dear at any price. Many Of these
plants lack vigor because they are
stunted by remaining too long in the
cutting-bed or in small pots, before
they are set out. In order to obtain
the best results. therefore, 1t Is advis-

PROTECTING DEER

HUNDREDS OF THEM ARE ON THE LEVEE AT WATSON AND ARE
 BEING FED BY PEOPLE.
Will Not Permit a SIaughter-Beau- tiful Animals Are as Tame
 As Rabbits.

According to Jim Watson, of Wat son, who has been in the city for sev- eral days and who returned to his home yesterday afternoon on the Steamer Grand, forty or fifty deer are being fed on the levee at Watson and are as tame as rabbits. The deer are coming to the levee by the hundreds from the wooded country, which was flooded by the back water from the Mississippi in that section. MT. Wat son says right at Watson the people are feeding between B and 40 deer and at one place man has eleven doe and one buck in a stable to pro- ,tect them against persons who are in- clined to slaughter the beautiful anil mals. He says the people of Watson are protecting the deer on the levee and will not permit anyone to shoot them. They intend to let the fright ened animals return to the woods as soon as the water recedes. Some of them are eating out of the hands of women and children.

w. H. BYLES LOSES
 CASE IN COURT
Had Appealed From Decree of Ark. ansas Courts in Peddling
 Act Case.

Little Rock, April 3o.-Attorney General Hal l.. Norwood received in- formation this morning to the effect that the case of w. H. Byles, plain tiff in error. against the State of Arkansas, has heen dismissed in the United States Supreme Court at the cost of the plaintiff.
 Byles was representative of the spaulding Manufacturing Company, and was convicted before justice of the peace in Independence county for violating the peddling law passed in 1909.
 He filed petition in the Pulaski chancery court for a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was granted and upon the trial, Byles was released. The attorney general took the case of the Supreme Court of Arkansas, where the decree of the chancery court was set aside. Byles then ap- pealed to the Supreme Court of the United States.
 The action taken by the Supreme Court in dismissing the appeal of Byles however, does not settle the other cases pending in the Supreme Court, in which the peddling act is in- volved.
 These cases are as follows: p. L.. Gannaway and A. e. Crenshaw against the State, and IL. P. Barnhill and p. l.. Rogers against the State.

 It is confidently expected the six teen talesmen will be secured early tomorrow and that the jury will be drawn therefrom by noon. The town was crowded all day by strangers who had come in from every direction over the muddy roads. horseback and afoot. It was the biggest day the town ever knew.
