Gardening for Life--and Beyond.

None of the essential factors in the
creation of hardy flower garden that is
really worth while is more frequently
overlooked at the ali.important outset,
than the quality of permanence. 1t is
not enough that the garden shall consist
of plants which are ALL or for the most
part, Of known hardness in given
latitude; the plot should be so planted
as to endure, as an entity, for the re-
mainder OF ones life-eyen beyond. So
were planned the old gardens of Colonial
and post Revolutionary days, than
which there is nothing better in the way
Of shining examples in the present ad-
mirable renaissance of the hardy garden
1t is, one might say, the principle of
consistent park planning, applied on a
very small and intimate scale. There
must be visions not only of this year
and the next, but of many more to come;
each adding TO that mellowness of effect
which time alone can give.-Suburban

FIGHTS WAR TAX.
Senator GrOnna Joins Opposition u
the Revenue Bill.

Washington. Oct. Ex-senator
Gronna of North Dakota joined in the
Republican attack today on the war
revenue bill. The real reason, he said,
for levying additional taxes was found
when total appropriations for the
fiscal year were considered. The fall
ing off in customs receipts due to the
European war, he maintained. would
be no where near 100000, while
appropriations for this fiscal year ex-
ceeted those of last year by more than
$32,OOO.0OO.
The North Dakota senator disagreed
with President Wilson in the latter's
position that the government funds on
depisit with the banks should not be
withdrawn. while l do not question

All Boston Pays Tribute to

Bands Played in Front Of
Hotel for Him.

Boston, Oct. 13.-It must be great to
be Henry Gowdy. 1t must be great to
have a band playing in ones honor in
front of Cne's hotel, as a band played
in Henry Gowdy's honor in front Of
Henry GOwdy'S hotel Monday night,
and it must be great to have crowds of
people standing around shrieking ones
name as crowds shrieked the name of
Henry Gowdy
1t must be great to be the hero of the
most desperate championship battle
ever waged on battlefield which is
the present status Of Henry Gowdy. 1t
must be greater still to have the MEM
ory of that mad moment at the close of
the twelfth inning out at Fenway field
Monday afternoon, when only a phalanx
of comrades. themselves almost pop
eyed with joy. STAYED off a rush of de-
lirious thousands anxious to shake the
heroic hand, which is a memory that
Henry Gowdy, hero, may carry down to

The score was 5 to in favor of the

the flank of the Mackmen at time when
they had a twO-run lead and rallied the
retreating Braves by slashing a home
run into the right field grandstand in
the tenth.
1t was "Lank Hank GOwdy who
helped put the Braves in the game back
in the early stages of the battle; it was
