SAD MEMORY OF HOME

Some time since a peevish-look-

when man entered. leaving the
door wide open. Instantly the peev-
ish party became violently agitated.
Shut the door, you chump." he
loudly exclaimed Where We're you

The other quietly closed the door,
and then, taking a seat at a nearby
table, he buried his head in his arms
and began to sob. Naturally, this
touched the heart of the peevish
one.
my friend said he, going over
to the sobby citizen. IL didn't mean
to hurt your feelings. merely
wanted you to close the door"

JUST WHY WE OPPOSE
POCKETS FOR WOMEN

/. Because pockets are not a
natural right.
2. Because the great majority of
women do not want pockets. If they
did. they would have them.
8. Because whenever women
have had pockets they have not used
them.
4. Because women are expected
to carry enough things as it is. with
out the additional burden of peck
cts.
D. Because it would make dis
sension between husband and wife
as to whose pockets were to be fill
ed.
6. Because ii would destroy
mans chivalry toward woman IL he
did not have to carry all her things
in his pockets.
T. Because men are men and
women are women. We must not
fly in the face of nature.
s. Because pockets have been
used by men to carry tobacco, pipes,
whiskey TASKS. chewing gum and
and compromising letters. We see
no reason to suppose that women
would use them more wisely

A GRUEsoME STORY is TOLD.
Survivors of III Fated Greedy Expe-
ditiOn Hold a Reunion.

New. York, June "a Ieunion
dinner, the first in thirty years, was
held last night by the survivors of
the Inflated Greedy Arctic expedi-
ton at the New York Club.
Gen. Greedy was detained in Con-
way, n. H., but three of the five sur
vivors-Col. David Brainard and
Sergts. Henry Bidderbeck and Fran
els L.. Long-were there. The fifth
survivor, Morris Connell, was in San
Jose, Cal. Fred 4. Taylor, a survi-
o of the rescue expedition led by
Admiral Schley, also attended.
The survivors drank to the mem
DRY of their dead comrades. The re-
mainder of the evening was spent in
relating "reminiscences. They dis
cussed, among other things, the
menu of their last dinner on June
%, 1884, just before the rescue party
arrived. On that sad occasion they
dined upon boots, trousers and sleep
ing bags, all made of s%ealskin.

". =. government LNneTimcIl.,
After the blooming season of
climbing roses is over in June the
departments landscape gardener ad-
vises that shoots should be pruned,
so as to throw the growth of the
plant into the new wood that bore
no flowers this year, for this is the
part OF the plant that will Dear next
year. When a trellis is low C or s
feet high), 1T is a good plan to cut
OFF the shoots that have borne flowers
this year clear to the ground. Climb
ing roses are a valuable aid in max
ing an attractive home and will re-
pay careful treatment.
Most people in following this ad-
vice may feel that they are running
their bushes to cut them back so Sc
Verely, but the young shoots that have
started about the roots will surprise
them by springing up with wonder
full rapidity. Each bush will proba-
bly, put forth several Few shoots that
will grow as long as those cut, or one
shoot VIII grow much longer. In
either cas- the trellis will soon be
covered again. One shoot in a Wash
fngton garden last year grew 20 feet
after the bush had been cut down in
this manr"~.
In the case If a high trellis a Diff
ferent methon must be followed. IT. ,
renewal of wood must begin fro
a point higher up instead of from
the root, as the growth OF a bush is
not enough to replace all it's top on
a trellis If required to grow so far.
Only so much of the old wood should
be removed after the flowers have
bloomed as will enable the new
shoots from the end Of the remain
ing portion of the stalk to replace the
old growth. About 4 feet is a safe
measure of the mount that may be
taken off.
Those who have grown climbing
roses as a screen on their porches, in
order to insure a fine bloom the COM
ing year, will do well to follow the
advice as given for the higher trellis.
In other words, about 4 feet Of the
old stalks that have bloomed should
be cut off Immediately after the bios
SONS r withered. The foliage will
recover within a very short period
II continue to screen the porch, and
next year an abundant crOD of bios

ANDERSON VETERINARIAN DEAD
Stricken Suddenly Wednesday After
nOon With Uremic Poisoning.
(Anderson Mail, June 25.)

NNAN
DR.. l.. j. B~rodhead, who came to
Anderson seven or eight years ago
from New York City to make his
home here and to practice his pro-
fession, veterinary surgery, died sud-
denly late yesterday afternoon. He
and Mrs. Brodhead we're out riding
three miles below the city when an
attack of uremic poisoning came on
him, and after being taken to the
home of E.. E.. Snipes he died. DR..
Brodhead suffered a similar attack
about one year ago, and although
confined to his bed for several
weeks, and to all appearances in
good health later, he and his physi-
clan knew that he could not expect
to fully " He was on the
streets yesterday afternoon chatting
with his friends, but to them he de-
clared that he was feeling a little
under the weather." His friends
thought that probably he was feeling
the intense heat, and never dreamed
that his condition was anything near
serious.
About 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon DR.. Brodhead called his wife
over the telephone and suggested a
drive out in the country. They had
not proceeded more than two or
three miles when the doctor suddenly
threw up his hands and dropped INTO
an unconscious condition. He re-
manned in this condition until he
died.
DR.. Brodhead came to Anderson in
hope Of improving his health. He
associated himself with Davis Bros,
livery stable firm, and came in con-
tact with hundreds of citizens of the
county. He was always in a good
humor, cheerful and because OF his
happy disposition made friends by
the score. He practiced his profession
successfully, and had about as large
a practice as he could attend to. He
was about As years of age.
