go outyof business or equip their
plants for the manufacture of
dog collars.

An Oklahoma girl playd Il

found an old love letter that her
father had written her mother
in the halycon days of t heir
courtship. She red the letter to
her mother substituting Ii e -
name and the name OF a boy
who tags around after h er.
The mother raved with anger
and disgust and forbade the girl
to have anything to do with
q young simpleton who had no
more sense than Ia write such
gush to a girl. The daughter
then handed her mother the
letter TO look over aud the house

ators were weary with the de-
bate which had for years
brought under consideration
every phase of the management
of our great 'postoffice system.
Senator Cumming was urging
m amendment to curtail the
ohe.man power of the Postmast-
er General, and at the conclusion
of his speech an attempt was
made to prevent rollcall for
fear it would disclose that a
quorum was not present. From
somewhere came Reed of Miss.
ouri. evidently suffering from
crouch, and he had hardly
reached the chamber before he
begau to talk There was a
snarl in his voice and he Inti-
mated chat the express compan-
les were using Senators to tie up
''parcels post" which nova
days among polite Senators is
plain "parcel post" Poiniext-
er of Washington got in a point
of order, and in discussing it had
a great deal to say about the
"Senator from Io-way," with
decided accent on the way"
"Uncle Ike" Stephenson of
Wisconsin had found map of
the United States and Mexico
a. the rear of the room, and he
was studying the southwest
corner in a manner that might
lead to the suspicion that he
was looking for a white pine
forest that would net him an.
other million. Of course he was
chewing gum, as he is seldom
without his cud. Possibly he
was pondelng over his vote, a
sacred thing with him, since
the Senatorial vocabulary of the
octogenarian has been limited
from the outset to "aye" and
''no," and if he ever had a word
or thought beyond that it has
never been expressed, not even
when the Senate was threaten.
ing him with the boot.
Meanwhile Reed continued to
rant. and Cummins was holding
,Qn with both hands to keep
himself from jumping Owe r
his desk. AS Cummins pro-
ceeded with bis reply. Reed
grew redder and redder. 1t was
the second time in two days
that the Missourian had been
"called," and he followed the
Iowa Senator, and made the
''amende honorable" in truly
distinguished Senatorial style.
Senator Gore, fresh from the
tumultous scenes of an Okla
homa court room, attracted
more than the customary at
tention which is always bestow-
cd upon the tblind Senator.
Bankhead IF Alabama, in charge
of the bill, arose to admit that
he twas in the same condition
he often found himself, in that
ne hardly knew what to do. "
But everybody smiled good
naturedIy, and gave tn e I
sympathy to the farmer-states-
man, whose sentences would
have been roundly complete if
he had only had a straw in his
mouth. Finally there was a
. rolicall, and in the midst of it

and the Senate smiled again
The amendments having been
disposed of tie struggle was
over. Everyone was ready to
pass the bill. All in favor of
the passage of the bill say

President. "Those opposed will
say no. the bill is passed"
Not single voice had responded
to either request. Silence must
still be golden; anyhow Ne old
rule that "silence gives consent"
was invoked The postoffice
bill appropriating more than
1914, ,000,0 was finished.
A half dozen Senators sprang
to their feet with matters to
press Some one moved to ad.
journ. The chair put the mo-
tion. Plainly enough the adj
journmnet was lost. Vice Pres
ident Marshall glanced for a
moment at the clock, straight
ened outtbe kinks in his legs,
and looked at the disappearing
pages who seemed to have no
doubt that Mr.. Marshall would
stand by their decision to quit.

his eyes, seeming to imply that

CARE OF ROSES
TAUGHT BY U. S.
Department of Agriculture
Gives Hints on Their Decor
alive Treatment.

Roses, when used for decorative
purposes on the home grounds, serve
to set off a fine lawn and improve
the appearance of a place not only
during their blooming time. but
throughout the year. Most of the
varieties that are used as shrubs
have foliage of lighter appearance
than the majority of other bushes
used for similar adornment, and they
are, therefore, placed preferably in
front of the other plants. This will
result in a pleasing contrast between
the shades OF green. They also con-
trast attractively with a greensward
IL placed close by the edge of the
lawn. Roses used in this manned
should be planted in comparatively
large masses.
Roses which are grown mainly for
bush or mass effect should be spar
ingly pruned, according to the United
States department of agriculture's
landscape gardener. They should be
permitted to run wild instead of
being pruned into any form, and only
deadwood or very old wood should
be removed when they are pruned
Of the various species of roses used
to beautify lawns, the most promi-
nent are Rosa rugosa C'rugosa' re-
ferring to the rough foliage of the
rose) and the common wild roses of
the roadsides and thickets in the diff
ferent sections of the United States.
Most of the roses used for mass eff
fects have only single or almost
single blooms. The bloom, however,
ture of the decorative value of these
roses. An even more attractive fea-
ture is the hip of the rose. The
hip" is the bright red tip of the
stem which enlarges to hold the seeds
o. the plant and remains a brilliant
color during the winter, thus adding
much to the attractiveness of the
bush at a time when most shrubbery
IS leafess and bare.

every reader is familiar, but 1t is
not every one who stops to calculate
what this means when it comes to a
years supply. 1t will, therefore
probably startle a good many per
sons to find, on the authority of a
vell-known statistician, that, could
the infants of a year be ranged in d
line in cradles. the cradles would ,ex-
tend around the globe.
The same writer looks at the mat
ter in a more picturesque light. He
imagines the babies being carried
past a given point in their mothers
arms, one by one, and the procession
being kept up night and day until
tbe last hour in the twelfth month
had passed by A sufficiently liberal
rate is allowed, but even in going
past at the rate of 20 a minute, Lou
an hour. during the entire year, the
reviewer at his post would have seen
only the sixth part of the infantile
host.
In other words. the babe that had
tn be carried when the tramp began
Vonld be able to walk when but a
mere fraction OF its comrades had
reached the reviewers post. and
when the years supply of babies was
drawing to close there would be a
rear guard, not of infants, but of
romping six-year-oId boys and girls.

KILOGRAMS IN CHINA.

1t might we'll seem impossible to
send telegram in written language
that has no alphabet, but is made up
of a vast number of characters, no
two of which are alike. Not only Is
the Chinese language composed of
several thousand different characters,
but there are so many dialects spoken
in China that there are more than
hundred ways of pronouncing each
character although the written Ian
guage is uniform throughout the
country. How Is it possible to send a
telegram in such a land and such
language? The difficulties have been
very ingeniously overcome, and it is
now easier and less expensive to send
telegram in Chinese than in
French.
In every telegraph office in China
there is a dictionary, or special CODE
in which the written characters are
listed and numbered. There are places
for 1899 characters, but a number of
spaces are at present blank; they
can be filed with characters when
that becomes necessary.
The sender of the telegram writes
his message in the ordinary manner.
The operator knows the numbers of
most of the characters. If there are
any of which he is ignorant, he finds
them in the catalogue. Each number
is composed of four Morse numerals;
for example, 5913.0019.04l4 signifies
Yuan Shih-kai the name of the
president of the Chinese republic.

TICKLE MOODS
OF The SAHARA
Fury of Desert Storm Followed
by Almost Magic
Change.

On, our way we encountered that
terrible experience, a desert storm. It
came down upon us with hardly any
premonition, save of an oppressive
stiffness of the air and a sitting tenn
perature. Then all of a sudden the
whole Sahara seemed to rise into the
air and pelt us with its sands and
pebbles. Within five minutes my
mouth was parched with thirst and
my watch choked with sand. The din
of the storm was indescribable, and
the flying particles stung like whip
! lashes on hand and face. Our horses
were nearly mad with fright For
four hours the insufferable choking
wind blew with it's scorching breath
and then the heavens opened and emp
tied what seemed to be half the Medi-
terranean on our devoted heads.
From parching heat the temperature
sank to a little above freezing in a
! few minutes, and then the rain came
down like a sluice, the great drops
splashing the sand back up to our
horses bellies.
Finally the storm vanished as quick
| ly as it had come, and the sun came
out and smiled at our sad plight
| Without a word we all stripped to the
| buff and Wrung out our water logged
garments. AS we sat on our poor
horses like centaurs, waiting for the
sun to dry our clothes, l caught Adder
Rahmans eye, and for the first and
last time heard him laugh aloud. For
full minute we sat rocking in our
saddles with mirth, until gradually
our wits and our bodily warmth came
back to us. l do not pretend to know
how these things happen, but almost
within an hour or two the desert all
about us was green with little plants
springing into life, and in the pools
formed by the water in the hollows
frogs We're croaking the miraculous
fact Of their existence TO a sunlight
