Jaspar County Democrat, Of Rens-

Lafayette was indicted last week by
Benton county grand jury on a
charge of having performed q GRIM
inal operation upon Miss Hazel Dud-
ley of Mitchell, So. OAK, but former

the latter place from blood poison
ing, as a result, it is alleged, of the
operation. Chase Morine of Fowler,
who IA a sweetheart of the dead
girl and accompanied her to iafay-
cite, where it is alleged the opera
ton was performed, became alarmed
after the girl died and left Fowler
with Katherine Sims, a dining room
girl in a Fowler hotel, and the couple
went to Illinois, the girl furnishing
the money for their getaway. Fear
of being arrested on white slavery
charges caused Morine to return to
Indiana after a few days with the
girl and they were married in In
dianapolis. Sheriff Hamilton OF Fow-
Ter went to Indianapolis and arrested
Morine and brought him back to
Fowler on the charge of being impli-
Gated in the Dudley girls death.

Morine is said to have made a clean
breast of everything and testified
that DIR. Washburn was the physician

returned and he was arrested in La

he gave bond for his appearance in
cour. He denies the charge absol-
utely, and says that he never saw
or heard of Morine or the Dudley
girl.

The Sleep of the Flowers

though it does not seem so to us, as the down quilt on the babys cradle.
 Some plants store up supplies in an underground stem, like the SoIomon's S seal, which sends up a new shoot each year, leaving 8 little scar or seal where the shoots of the preceding year have grown. Others form tubers like the potato and the dahlia, or bulbs like the tulip and danodil and crocus- all those lovely flowers that make the gardens beautiful in the earliest days of spring-and like the turnip and the onion and the beet also. only that these humble plants never get 9, chance to flower. for man appropriates the ma terial that they intended for their next years blossoms.
 Trees and shrubs cannot bury their next years foliage and blossoms un- derground and they cannot make much use of the snow blanket but they wrap them up so warmly that they are perfectly safe in the coldes& weather, and their only danger is that they may be dcvoured by animals or come out too soon, like the sleeping beauties under ground. There is noth- ing more interesting in the whole world than these little packages of leaves and flowers, and any boy or girl who lives in the country can examine them. They may be found all over the
 
 end of every tWig, and in every place from which a leaf has fallen. Some times they are very small and half sUnlsen in the wood. so that one has to look closely to see them, but in the horse chestnut they are very large. and no wonder, for inside each one is a CoSn plete branch of leaves anda stalk of flowers, all very tiny, but so per feet that with microscope one can even see the pollen on the stamens, Around then is packed 3, moss of soft wool, and outside this is 8 coat of scale aFmer, Last of all is d gumB1y ceat- ing, waterproof, and very discoWfaging also to hungry insects.
 Aquatic plants seem to find it quite simple matter to get through the winter. All they need to do is to sink to the bottom of the pond, where it never gets cold. some of the pond weeds just break off their heads in the fa1l-after storing up im chem all the living matter contained in the rest Of the plant and drop them to the bot tom The pond is no more dead it seems shan the woods and fields It is only sleeping. and will sEfing to life again with the first breath Of spring heytheY gaIo mucht

My Visit in Germany.

While I was in Germany I saw a great many things I had never seer before.
 I saw large rye fields which covered 1 acres and acres of land. I loved to see my grandfather SOW the seed. He sowed wheat, rye, barley and oats. When the rye is full grown it is taller than myself
 There are large forests in Germany. In the forests are tall pine trees. anG deer roam about among them. Among the pine trees are some very pretty flowers some Of which are the hepaticd and the lily of the valley.
 My playmate and ] went very often into the woods to gather strawberries and blueberries.
 One Gay | went with my aunt to the meadows to watch them make hay. We were not there very long when all at once 8 stork flew down. It ate some frogs and then flew away. The stork is q very pretty bird. I wish we had them here.
 At another time l saw two of them on the top of my grandfather's barn.
 The stOrks have their nest on the tops of houses and barns. The farm CTS put a large wagon wheel on the top of the barn, and then the StOrk comes and builds it's nest on it.
 l had a good time while I was in Germany and after five months stay with my grandmother and grandfather we began to prepare ourselves to go home,
