7REN'T flowers like people though? If you
lAI person of whimsical fances there's
MoS&&I scarcely flower that will not remind yon
of someone you know.
Even the weeds, dogfenne and the Hke-they
have their human counterparts.
But heyer mind the people who like weeds. Let's
consider those who like flowers.
Look at a bed of marigolds. Beautiful, isn't it?
They add much to the coorscheme of the gar
den They are interesting and attractive-so long
as we do not touch them.
But do you wish to hold them in your hand?
And who would cluster Of marigods as
" wear bunch of vioets?
Well, these marigolds are like dozens of people
| we know; bright attractive beautiful to look upon
And in being beautiful they have fulfilled their
mission. They have simply added brilliant note to
the color scheme; but they have given fragrance
to life They are most attractive long they are
mere acquantances. but cannot love them too

touch of gold the center That yellow rose is like
the cheerful. wholesome girl whom people do not al.
ways understand because she is perhaps bit breezy
or even sangy.
The little gold buds, pert and saucy, that's the
girl when people do not know her very well.
The halfopen which has more of the sun
shine-yelow than the pert-yellow-that's the girl
When pepole begin to find out that she isn't 80 saucy

blown rose, that's the girl when one comes to know
her well.

MUS to him. So he did his very best to per-
suade an unfeeling Senate that the Guv-
vernon had perfect rite to appoint Sen
ater, spesially seeing that he had maid such
dingged- blasted fine selectsion when he
named one, but there was nuthing doing
Then Uncle Henery got mule-heded and
sed, eff they want to leeve it to the peepuI
they have nuthing on ME; III take it to
the peepul myself" Thereupon he started
rite in to run for the job, and he was doing
sum tall and fansy running, take it frum us.
The next thing that Pressidint Wilsun
knew he woke up to the fact that the man
on whom he was relying to throw several
large layers of opake and intense gloom
round the camp of predatory weelth and
the trusts, was fixing to gum things all
up, and throw bolt into the Legislative
macheenery. 1t becum vvident to the
Pressidint that if Uncle Henery went to the
Senate that as trust buster in cheef in the
House he would be off the job. Also he
knew that Mr.. Clayton had maid a spesial
study Of this perticuler bizness for meny
yeers, just as Underwood had studied the
tariff, and he was ded stuck on the way
Underwood handled the tariff and he
hated like blazes to take emmy long chances
on sum Guy tackling the trusts when he
had a man who had qualified for the job
Thereupon he sed unto Uncle Henery,
hist" and Uncle Henery histed He re-
minded Mr.. Claytun that he owed sumthing
to the demmycratic party and to the coun-
try-he refurred cassuely to the fact that
Mr.. Claytun had been yeerning all theese
yeers to get good fair smack at the trusts
and just when the chance was cumming to
him he was fixing to strole off the resurva-
sion aftur a mess of pottage He insnu-
ated that Uncle Henery ought to curb his
ambison and stick around in the House a
while and take a few well chosen swatts at
the hlgh-binders Outside Of it being his
positive ordurs very dellcately conveyed,
that Uncle Henery refrain frum leeving his
post, he lntlmated that he did n t have emmy
thing to do with it and it was nun of his
bizness
OF corse it was up to Mr.. Claytun to
comply. The Pressidint is the Cheef Mogul
OF the demmycratic party and If one wants
to measure up he's got to cum eileen with
the Pressidint and Mr.. Claytun strikes
twelve when it Gums to measuring up.
Getting back TO the orriginel PROPOSE
sion, we want to say that it IS seldum that
statesman rises to such emminince and in
Uncle Henery Alabama has a big man, Of
whom she may feel justly proud. He has
been sgnally honuerd by the Pressidint of
the United States, who regards CRATE party
principles of vastly moor Importance espe-
sally when the redemptsion of pledges to
the peepul is involved, than all the petty
polytics in the world. Yours trooly,

1t is very beautiful, and very, very sweet; but
you scarcely dare to touch it. Would you call that
rose coquette? Luring on by its sweetness and
beauty, only to be hurt? That seems unfair to the
rose Isn't it rather of those oversensitive peo-
pie?
There are people who possess many beautiful and
lovabe traits of character and yet their natures
prckly with little thorns Of sensitiyeness that wo
must be very careful how we handle them--what
opinions affirm-what topics we touch upon
And the little tea-rose that climbs over its arbor
so unassumingly, and scatters its white petals and
its sweet perfume SO indscrimnately abroad?
Why, those tea-roses are the dear old ladies', of
The oldfashoned old ladies Of lace caps and
little charities, who harm, and think no evil
and exhale kindness a violet sheds perfume They
the white tea-roses.
There, on trellis climbs yellow rose A cheer
tul. wholesome rose with not too many thorns and
possessing bright variety of moods.
