sTwomen and Roses"

An adaptation of the poem by Robert
Browning.
And which of these roses three is the
dearest rose TO me?" Wallace's mother Is
the faded rose, his wife the pink rose,
and his mistress the red rose. Wallace
is newly married. His wife, as a prospec-
tive mother. loses her charm for him,
and he turns to his mistress.
His wife has no suspicion of his de-
ception. But his mother knows. She
goes to the mistress and appeals to her
TO abandon her son and discourage his
Illicit love affair. But the mistress is
cynical about such matters and the
mothers sincerity bores her.
An appeal for at least fair play strikes
a response in the mistress and she ac-
companies the mother to her sons home
She allows the mistress to peep through
some portieres, on the other side OF
which the wife Is at work upon baby
clothes. A strange new note-something
she has never felt before-is struck in
the mistress heart.
That night she calls an old admirer tc
her home. Wallace enters and sees her
accepting the caresses OF his rival in her
affections. He upbraids her and leaves
But he does not see that he is guilty OF
the same perfidy for which he despises
his mistress. Howbeit, he is cured and
he returns to his wife-the pink rose.

Danger of Pink Boil weevn Mag

Public hearings will be held at the
Department OF Agriculture on May Is ON
three proposed measures to limit IL
entry and manufacture Of foreign lint
cotton to the Northern States. These
measures, the department experts say,
are made necessary by the danger Of the
introduction of the pink boil worm. one
Of the most serious cotton pests known.
Since Hawaii already is infested with ths
worm. cotton from this Territory will be
included in the restrictions.
II also is proposed to prohibit shipment
OF foreign lint cotton from the Northern
States to the South for use in Southern
cotton mills. The inconvenience that this
measure will cause mill owners Is said
to be Insignificant compared with the
evil that would be wrought should the
pink boil worm once establish itself IN
the cotton regions Of the South.
