There is something about a new flower which aWes me as well as con- mands a feeling of reverence and ad- miration. First 1 recognize it as one saved of thousands because of its rec ognized worth; second, it has been tried and not found wanting if 1t is bulbous at the roots, for it has stood true to it's standard for three years before 1t could be pronounced a good commercial asset-it has shown a bal anced power in the realm of color, the white Is not being pushed out by the fiery reds, or the delicate pink lan- gushing Into common rose, or the yell low and white playing peeltaboo with one another in separate petals or in groups 1t has standardized, or estalb- lished s striking individuality. This i flower of wonderful form and beauty has made character and stood trus to It. Ii has shown that IT ls not tending to degenaraey, but has qualities that last. Ii stands trHe to itself and in a material way synhoiizes the value of truth In all the phases of life. A flow CT may not impress you in this way, but 1t would if you knew your flower. Did you ever think of distrust as a

It Is one of the ven omous things in human nature-wher- ever it sets it's fangs love begins to die Did you ever see @ faithful wife cling ing to an erring huspand, a loving mother holding the banner of hope up to a fallen son, or patient parents ] bearing with children astray, and pray ! ing that they may have a new birth and a newly lighted path. I'll trust him. is their heart resolve. He proves false to the trust and only we lockers on despair but love and wife. or mother, or parents walk with hope. tell you. we do not get from these lessons of human tolerance and kind ness all we ought. When distrust comee into our heart we should get after ii as we would after a serpent-after a i deadly thing. If we do not, our love will soon be blighted. and be like 8 worm eaten flower Keep your heart true and be true to Truth Trusting one another intensifies love and af- i lords the largest liberty.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

These persons who have cultivated gloomy minds we speak of as being moody, or out of humer. They have been the victims of so many disap- pointments, perhaps. they spend most of their time in wondering what is go- ing to happen next They have not yet come to a realization of the fact that 1t is more creditable to make things happen than to let them hap pen. All kinds of things happen to one whe lacks force eff mind. as they do to eRe who lacks physical strength. We are not mindful enough of what we are deing with our minds. They were net given Us as a menace te our peace or to create bugbears with. Mind is the foundation of character. the driving wheel of human energy Some people seem to regard it as ar heirloom that has fallen to them to pamper, instead of something they should improve and give power to. To be master of your fate you must be master of your mind This is the way your individuality is wrought from common clay.

This is g big subject to be treated in such a small space as we allow Tor each SubJecC The most wonderful insects in many ways are the ants, the bees and the wasps- they organize into communities and cooperate in all their work. They are all designers and builders and have taught observing men many a lesson. The ants build galleried cities beneath the ground and in hollow, de- caying trees: the wasps were the first wood pulp makers and makers of pa pier -mache nests, or homes; the bees were the first bread makers (bee- bread) and workers in wax. The ants were mound builders before men left historic mounds to mystify the mod erns-or those who came after them There are white and black and brown and red ants. The red ants are the greatest warriors and they make slaves of the black ants, showing they drew the color line first The mound building ants humor the young winged ants for a while, but when they be- come of working age they stop their gadding by removing their wings There are driver ants, parasol ants agricultural ants and mound building ants.

OPERA TICKETS SKY HIGH.
New York Cannot Boast of Bigger
Prices Than Bayreuth.
Correspondence Of The Star.

fore1gn correspondence OF The Star.
BERLIN, September I. 1911.
Even the New York opera house cannot
boast OF higher prices than those that
have recently been quoted for seats at
the Bayreuth Wagnerian performance.
The gambling in these tickets has reached
such point that the local magistracy
has taken the matter up, and police in
tervention is now expected. 4 third-row
seat in the side gallery was sold for
$625, while two stalls were sold for 81.
In Munich s6.25 seats have been quoted
even higher than SO. An American Wis
itor arriving late for the season had 10
pay $3.50 for $25 series ticket, and tho
current price for a stall at karlsbad or
Marenbad has been ST.
This is largely attributed to the Par
sifar' monopoly. and as such Is used 81
a pointed argument against this unpopu
lar state OF affairs, about which there Is
much bitterness i'm the press. In defense
It is urged that the promoters of the Bay
reuth season have no knowledge of this
trafficking In tickets, which. they admit.
is quite irregular, as each original pur-
chaser signs an agreement not to subsell
Or transfer his ticket.

CITY HALL ENDANGERED
Lightning Strikes F|agpole,
But Decayed Spot Changes
Course.

Lightning struck the flagpole on the
city hall during the storm of Saturday
evening and spiintered the massive flag
staff that has supported the national en-
blem for many years The pole is In
such shape that Il new one will have to
be npvided before the Stars and Stripes
may again wave over the temple of JUS
ticc.
A d,cayed spot in the pole is supposed
to have saved the building from damage
from the bolt of lightning. After strik-
ing the staff u little above midway the
lightning coursed down the pole to the
dccayed spot, where 1t seems TO have
been sb7lntcd off across the roof of the
nortico of the building and thence to the
ground.
A. l.. Paul, night watchman, was the
only person in the building when the
lightning struck. He was standing at the
main doorway 70 the courthouse, which
is under the porticO directly beneath the
rIaosraff. Paul said he had just reached
this nositLon while making the rounds of
the building when he heard the noise
made by the shattering of the fagpole.
A flash of light appeared before him, he
said, and he was thrown bodily against
the jam of the doorway and thence to
the floor.

the last ten years the number of per-
mits issued by the District has increased

This entails an increase in the anHunt
of indexing and clerical work to be- per-
formed by my assistants, but, notGwith-
standing the greater amount of work be-
ing accomplished by this office each year,
the number of employees remains the
same, despite the fact that l have an

cards were made out, assorted according

PARIS, August %, 1912.
After strangling homeless woman in
Paris, an elderly mechanic named Al
fred Mangeot, who was known to be a
semi-lunatic, decided to burn down the
house to conceal his crime. He soaked
rags in petroleum and poured petroleum
on the bed where his victim was, ana
lust before in the morning he set fire
to the place. A workman noticed smoke
issuing from between the shutters and
called out "Fire!" Believing the nat de-
serted the firemen forced All entry and
found the partially burned corpse on the
flaming bed
4 policeman named Rollet realized that
Mangeot must still be in the building.
and commenced a search. Very quickly
he decided that Mangeot must have re-
treated to the cellar, and obtained a
lighted lamp. When he was at the foot
of the staircase five shots resounded.
The lamp, which he was holding at arm S
length was shattered by the first bullet;
the other four were fired in the dark
ness.
Rollet amid the hail of bullets, groped
his way up the stairs to obtain another
light. BY the TIME this was secured sew
eraI other policemen had arrived, and the
SQUAD descended together, carrying buck
lers such as were employed in the siege
OF the motor bandits stronghold at
Choisy a few months ago. These. how
ever, were unnecessary. for Mangeot had
hanged himself and his dead body was
found dangling behind the cellar door

No sum of money is too insignificant
to escape the attention of the Austrian
bureaucrat.
In the last issue of the Wiener Zeitung
there appeared a lengthy official notice
from the high court of justice calling
upon the legitimate representatives OF
the late Count Franz Palffy. who died
November IA, 1862, to withdraw, within
a period of one year, six weeks and
three days, a deposit from the treasury
of the civil court of justice which had
lain there for more than thirty years
The sum in question is one heller-one-
fifth of a cent.
The notice fails to state what VIII be-
come of this important deposit il the
properly authorized person does not ap-
ply for it. Presumably 1T will be ap
piled to paying on the Austrian ma
