The Glorious GladioIus.

In Suburban Life Magazine for March,
Mrs f. +. Trumbull tells OF her sue
cess with gladiolus. She says: Right
~ named i the gladiolus, as it makes
us glad almost the whole year. Are
we not glad from the time when the
eagerly looked for package arrives from
the florists, and we almost reverently
lift the fresh, plump bulbs from their
wrappings, and speculate upon their pos
sibilitiesg The variety and umivaled
briliancy of their colors, together with
the ease with which they may be grown,
and the variety of conditions under
which they thrive are reasons why these
bulbs should be grown in every garden.
We are glad. again, when the light
green points begin breaking through the
soil, because we know that every bulb
planted will be sure to yield one or
more lovely flower spikes. 1t is doubt
full if any flower can be grown in our
gardens that viii give greater satisfac-
tion than bed OF gladiolus. 1t seems
no exaggeration to say that, for real
refned beauty and general usefulness,
they stand unrivaled among the many
lovely summer blooming bulbs"

COULD HAVE SAVED MONEY

You can save money by spending it
right, as well as by laying it aside.
For instance, there are many people
who do not buy the right medicine for
their ailments, and pay out many dol
lars before they learn just what to do.
Mrs. Alex. Dumas of Malone, n. Y,
knows this now. She says: "A very
heavy cold settled on my lungs last
winter and for three months | coughed
almost constantly. At night i could
hardly get any sleep. l tried several
medicines, but none of them did me any
good. Then 1 thought l would use
Ninol and it began to help my cough
from almost the first dose.
81 do not cough at all now, | can
sleep well and have gained much
strength, all because l took your splen-
did tonic"

breaking.
Down in Colombo ne said, they
have got very good dodge against
the jail breaker It's simple too. Just
bricks, You see, the Mutival jail at
Colombo is surrounded by a very high
brick wall. Well, the last dozen
courses of these bricks are laid loose,
without mortar So when you try to
escape you climb stealthily, hardly
daring TO breathe, mp the wall, and
with a sigh of relief you reach the
loose course at the top and-clatter,
crash, bang. clatter-a thousand bricks
in the profound silence fall with a
noise fit to wake the dead and a dozen
warders rush out and you climb down
sadly into their waiting arms."-New

Of power not granted to the lawmakine
body by the people in framing the con
| stitution.
The decision in the case of Bates
against kimball has never been reversed
and probably it never viii be. The poo
| pie of Vermont themselves had come to
understand the vicious effect of such
legislative intervention in judicial proc
esses. What had once been an una les
toned usage of the legislature became
obsolete and ridiculous. The recall CT
judicial decisions by the representative
of the people had been tried and found
to be incompatible with individual rights
and the interests of well-o"dered soci-
ETY.. 1t must be the judgment of every
sober-minded student of the question
that an attempt to have judicial deei-
sions recalled by the people themselves,
instead of by their representatives
would prove equally imPracticabe and
harmful to the social order.
1t is true that Mr. Roosevelt would
confine the popular recall to eases invclv-
ing an Interpretation Of the eonsirr-
ton. What he said in his Columbus
speech was:
'Ihe decision Of state court on a
constitutional question should be subject
to revision by the people Of the state.
III it is sutained. well and
good. If not, then the popular verdict
is TO be accepted as final, the decision
is to be treated as reversed and the con
struction of the constitution definitely
decided-subiect only TO action by the
supreme court Of the United States"
But how could such system in prac-
tiee be more successful than the old
Vermont system? Every constitutional
question in nearly all Of the states OF
the union must come before the state su-
preme court in a specific case. say of
John Doe against Richard Roe. Some
individual, or corporation or association
necessarily has involved in such case
property interests or civil rights, which
the decision OF the court vitality affects
one way or the other
The Vermont experience proves that
when the legislature attempted to re-
verse specific judicial decisions the effect
was distinctly bad upon ltgants and
upon the entire administration of justice.
Have the legislature power to vacate
or annual an existing judgment between
party and party?' asked the court IN
the case Of Bates against Kimball The
question should also be asked Have the
people the power, or should they have
the power to yacate or annul an exist
ing Judgment between party and party?
It is fantastic, in fact, to ignore the
parties" the actual litigant. But Mr.
Roosevelt did Just that IN his Columbus
spppch saving. "Thp nODular verdict
is to be accepted as final. the decision is
to be treated as reversed" What was
before decision in favor OF John Doe
now b. a majority OF the votes cast,
becomes decision in favor OF Richard
Roe.
Sooner or later the Does and the Roes
would say; why 90 to the courts with
Gnr differences? The lawyers tell us
constitutional question is involved. Let
US save money and time and appeal to
the people. in their wisdom, TO settle this
case right away" Springfield Republi

Snow on the Roofs Enabled the Vol

Limestone, Me-, March 4--Fire Satur-
day destroyed four frame buildings on
Main street in the center OF this town.
The loss is estimated at s35 1000, partly
covered by insurance. The cause is I'm
known.
Starting in a hall on the second floor
OF two-lstory building owned by Louis
A. Cyr and occupied BY his general store
on the ground floor. the flames spread
rapidly This building was burned. to-
gether with the two-story Charles A.
Perry building containing general
store; the two-stpry Durepp building,
and a one-story structure occupied by
William H. Webster's undertaking rooms.
The firemen had hard fight to prevent
tie fire from spreading to other build
ings. No 'one was injured.
Snow on the roofs and favorable
direction of the wind enabled the vol
unteer fremeu to conine the fire to the
four buildings The heaviest loss was
sustained by Mrs Cyr, estimated at
about $1,000. The DIrepp block owned
by the heirs OF Nathan Durepp, was oc-
cupied as store and residence. The
Perry building contained the postofiice, Of
which Charles A, Perry is postmaster IN
addition to the general and clothing
store OF Mellen Bros. Much mail mat
ter was saved.
The fire was confined to the east side
Of Main street, south of Bridge street.

GIANT sW0RDFISH.
Monsters Fifteen Feet Long Armed
With Three Foot Weapons.


A queer fish is the swordfish. 1t is
found in the tropical and subtropica!
zones of both the eastern and western
hemispheres. Some of the tropical spe-'
cies are of enormous size and measure
from twelve to fifteen feet in length,
with swords at least three feet long.
The sword is much the shape Of
cone somewhat fattened, the end
sharply pointed. 1t is smooth on the
top and sides, but the under part is
rough. 1t is really an elongation Of
the bones of the upper jaw and is pos
sessed of very great strength, for with
these weapons they have been known
to pierce the copper sheathing Of YES
sells and heavy plates and timbers but.
although they can drive the sword far
into these substances, they cannot
draw them out, so break them off and
swim away without them.
A large fin extends nearly the length
of the back of the creature, which is
folded back when the fish is swim
ming in order that its progress may
not be impeded If speed is desired. but
when quietly swimming it is often
erected and acts as sail to carry it
through the water. The swordfish is
very aggressive in its disposition and
win often assail fish much larger than
itself. Even the whale is not exempt
from its attacks. The food of the
swordfsh consists of smaller fish,
