Lost His Mule.

To lose a mule is bad enough but to
lose a mule, then be locked up in he
police station because one happens TO
raise a little thunder abput it Is even
worse. And this is just what happened
to an aged negro from out Caddo way.
Cotton all being in the bale and the
fodder in shock the old timer OF the
tribe of Ben Ham came into the city
Yesterday evening. He managed 10
find place before the shades OF even
ing fell where he could buy mix
ture composed of aqua FORTS, caroollc
acid and other ingredients He drank
some of the MIXTURE. Now, when an
ordinary mortal partakes OF sul1ic-
lent quantity of the "O-be- joyful' ne
usually sees double. Had this have
been the case with the negro he would
have journed back to the stormy banks
of Caddo the owner of team OF mules
in place of one mule. But with him
the case was reversed. In place OF
seeing two mules where ne
had only tied one he saIw no mule at
all. And seeing no mule he proceeded
to prize up merry Cain. He said that
all the population of that section OF
Ardmore known as Coontown were
dishonest and that the entire popuia'
ton had conspired to swipe his mule
In fact, he became so boisterous III
his assertions and so sweeping in his
allegations that the long arm OF the
LAW reached out and gobbled him in'
He says he won't do it any more

center open. The above refers to
"Hybrid Perpetual "roses, "Hybrid
Teas and "Tea" sorts. When plant
ed in the spring, prune just before
planting. Where plants apparently
healthy, fail to mature the buds
which they bear, remove large per-
centage of the undeveloped buds and
imperfect blooms and prune severely.
Also trim back about one third, when,
after planting they shed their leaves
and exhibit signs of weakness; this
gives the roots chance to become
vigorous.
What the term "Hardy" means
The hardness of any rose is matter
which no one can speak of with pos
tive certainty, because the conditions
of the winter, as rule, prescribe the
hardness of the plant. Where the
winter comes on gradually, the plants
90 into a semi-dormant state natural
ly If the winter be continuously
cold, then the most tender roses often
survive but when, as is frequently
the case, an unreasonable cold snap
comes in the early fall, followed again
by warm weather, the plant is not
sufficiently hardened to withstand
the sudden change. If this is follow
ed by what we know as open winter
periods of severe weather, followed
by thawing-it is then that the dam
age is done, because it keeps the
plant between the two extremes; in
juring not only the young eyes near
the roots, but the roots themselves.
Therefore a slight winter protection
is necessary; manure, leaves or fir
boughs are good. Care should be
taken not to remove the covering too
early in the spring.
Insects and Insecticides - One of
the most common of insects is the
green fly, but they are readily re-
moved by spraying with clear water,
smoking with tobacco stems or spray
ing with kerosene emulsion or to-
bacco insecticide soap. The red
spider is an insect so smalllthat it is

not discernible to5the naked eye and
FREQUENT spraying with the insectl-
cides named above should be resorted
to. to remove it. The rose hoprers
or thrips can effectually be eXtermi-
mated by spraying while the leaf
rollers which resemble butterflies OF
yellowish white color can be picked
off by hand The rose bug can be re-
moved only by vigilant and unceas-
ing spraying with Insecticides.
Kerosene Emulsion-To two parts
of kerosene add one of slightly sour
milk, agitate until the compound
unites in the form Of white jelly;
dilute with twenty parts of soft water.
Tobacco Solution Made by boiling
the leaves of tobacco. The liquid
should be made about the color OF
weak tea.
[ believe there is an army OF rose
lovers everywhere who want the best
roses and are willing to pay good
price for them if they only knew
where to buy and what; and for the
convenience of those who are not
familiar with the great variety OF
roses in cultivation, and to assist
them in making selection. L have
made a short list of reliable roses,
