Mr.. Wilson's Year of Work.

The presidents decision that he will
make no speeches this year and will
not even attend public gatherings dur
ing the current year is little hard on
himself. but no doubt the conclusion
is wisely reached. Ever since inaugu-
ration day Mr. Wilson has shown re-
peatedly by act and deed a realization
that he must give his best attention to
he national problems before him. He
mas set an example as a worker that
should make his administration a sue

Inn.lnnIable Consequence.

It is of incalculable consequence to
the man himself that he should keep
sober and temperate, and it is Of even
more consequence to his wife and

fact that in this life Of ours the sins
of the man are often visited most
heavily upon those whose welfare
should be his one special care

NEVER GOT WISH HE CRAVED
Pathetic Desire for Fishing Trip Re-
mained UnfulfiIIed Until the End
of Long Life.

A man died in New England not
long ago, and when they came to ex-
anime his effects they brought to light
a pathetic story.
1t appears that for 40 years the man
wanted to go a-fishing. Yet, in vari-
GUS ways, he had been prevented.
There was no fishing near his home,
and when he went away, on business
or for pleasure, he found neither time
nor opportunity to crafty his desire.
He had obtained and hidden away
an unusually fine fisherman's outfit,
and he had bought the leading books
on the anglers art. These, too, he had
hidden away-either afraid of being
laughed at for his fad, or desiring to
keep the enjoyment of his treasures
all to himself.
So he lived on and on, the longing
still gripping him, the hope of fulfill
ment strong within him-on and on.
until at ripe old age he died, his
fond desire ungratified.
This seems quite as pathetic as the
lifelong longing of the old FreCch
peasant to see Carcassone, the city
lust beyond the nearest hills.

WILD FLOWERS OF BULGARIA
Great Variety of Beautiful Blossoms

Bulgaria from a naturalist's point of
view was an aspect of that country of
which the audience at the Royal Hor-
ticultural society in London were de-
lighted to be reminded recently. Mr
Ball, the lecturer, spoke of the rose
gardens in the valley 60 miles long,
from which the world obtains its sup
ply of altar of roses. He spoke of the
picking of the roses before sunset, to
prevent their losing half their fra

In the mountains right among the
granite spurs he had found masses OF
gentian, of slender campanulas with
bells all the way down their stems and
of vivid forget-me-nots. There were
also miniature rhododendrons with
blooms of many shades. Phillippolis,
he said, was afire with sumach, and
in marshy meadows purple primulas
grew in abundance.-Christi Science

HAUNTED DESERT OF Cob
Mysterious Singing and WalIins and
Distant Music Besuile the Trav-
eler in the Waste.

Slowly we travelled across the great
waste of Dzungaria, the "soul-appalling
G, ii" of some writer's, but to us land
of beauty, even if of somewhat ter
rifying character. For her, more near
ly than in any other land is beauty al
lied to terror.
These silent steppes, the natives
believe. are the haunts of "genii"
and the rendezvous of evil spirits. AS
a recent writer has said: "The great
sandy desert of Cobb has been looked
on as the dwelling place of malignant
beings from the days of hoary an
tiouity." All luckless travellers in this
region. from the days of Marco Polo
onward, have recorded strange stories
of weird beings that inhabit the depths
of the wastes. Mysterious singing and
wailing, beating of drums and dis
tant music are said to beguile the trav-
eler and lead him off the track until
he is hopelessly lost in the wilder
ness. A recent Russian explorer gives
ouite a detailed account of the wild
men of the desert. Listen to the
strange story told by Kosloff, who
trayersed the desert of Dzungaria in
its widest part not long ago:
"These wild men, the Kyz-Kyks. as
thew are called, are covered with short
wool. similar to the fur of young
camel. They have long black hair and
black eyes. They are of the ordinary
size but rather long-legged. They
roam the steppes in pairs, and when
harassed by man they scream, whis-
tie and snarl as they run away. The
native Kirghiz claim to have caught
them occasionally, but the captives
refuse food and drink, and die after
a few ys"-Douglas Corruthers in

Washington.-To provide the White
House with cut flowers daily and the
grounds surrounding 1t with shrubs
and blooming plants In season, the
United States pays out every year
$4,000. No other appropriation for
the needs of the executive mansion is
expected to prove as interesting to the
present first lady of the land" for
Mrs. Wilson is lover of flowers
even more SO, If report be true, than
the wife of any president in recent
administrations.
From the Roosevelt regime Mrs.
Wilson has inherited, as did Mrs. Taft,
improved facilities for supplying the
White House with flowers for state
occasions and daily use. Originally
the White House conservatories were
located on the west terrace. In 1902.
while former President Roosevelt was
in office, they were removed to the
south side of the Washington noun
ment, where they now form part of
the propagating gardens.
In all, 16 greenhouses are main
tanned in the propagating gardens for
the exclusive needs of the executive
mansion and grounds. Congress ap-
propriates annually $4,000 for their
maintenance and $4,000 for repairs.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-04-19

The removal of the conservatories
to their present location was part
of the general renovation Of the
White House which took place during
the Roosevelt administration, and cost
the government approximately $780,
600.
After the executive mansion had
practically been made over, Mrs.
Roosevelt became interested in the
question of improving the White
House lawns, and, at her suggestion.
two large flower gardens were laid
out These are known as the colonial
gardens, and they not only received
the personal attention of Mrs. Roose-
welt, but was a source of pleasure to
Mrs. Taft.
No new flower gardens were laid out
in the executive mansion grounds dur
ing the administration of President
Taft, and it is not likely that any
will be added while the Wilson's are
occupants of the White House, for
expert landscape gardeners have de-
clared that the present arrangement
cannot be improved upon.
But the next four years may wit
ness the installation of facilities for
increasing the productivity of the prop
agating station, which supplies the
nations mansion with flowers.
The first duty of the officials in
charge of this station is to see that
the White House is supplied daily with
cut flowers, and that the floral deco
rations for the state occasions are
the best that Uncle Sam can produce.
Huge bouquets are placed daily in the
rooms of the executive mansion and in
the office known as the presidents
workshop. Even the presidential
barouche is not sighted.
Propagating Gardener Charles Hen
lock and his assistants face their prin-
cipal task in preparing for the big
state occasions. The White House,
then is literally bowed of flowers.
Particular attention is paid to the
color scheme and only one kind of
flower is used.

Rome, April 17.-The bulletins is

dicated that the condition of the Pope
practically is stationary. The evening
bulletin was of more optimistic
tone, as it indicated that the temper
ature was normal and that there had
been no recurrence of the usual night

The fact, however, that the bron-
chial affection has not been overcome,
detracts somewhat from the hopeful
character of the report, as the occa-

ing the strength of the patient, who
already has been under great strain.

hot baths have been or~ered.

Inc opinion Of department fficials
is that congress should so amend ex-

The revision of the curriculum of

resulted in decrease in the number
OF hrst-year men dropped for de-

been found that the lessening of the
