ONE OFFICER HOLDS
UP A BAD GANG
OF H|GHCRADERS
PRIVATE DETECTIVE REcouNTs
A HAlR.RAISING EXPERIENCE
lNTHE DARK OF THE MOON.

Under the heading of "Recovers
Ton of stolen Ore, The Goldheld
Tribune regales its readers with the
alleged exploist of detective who.
single-handed, held up gang OF
Tonopah high graders in their cabin
and recovered "a ton of rich ore that
had been stolen from the mines of
Tonopah and Goldheld" The story
goes on to recite that ii is likely
that the arrest of ~ miners, mostly of
Tonopah. will follow as the detective
Is alleged to have mass of evidence
on the operations of the gang.
The account is a regular thriller.
The detective declares he went to
the cabin occupied by the high grad
ers and found seven robbers guard
ing the treasure. Two had revolvers,
but they We're so taken by surprise
that the detective had no trouble In
compelling them to hold up their
hands while the sleuth, single-hand.
ed, searched each of the seven men,
Considering the recovery of the ore
more important than the captuT OF
the thieves, the "men were permitted
to leave the cabin and temporarily
make their escape. since the Officer
was without aid to march them tt
the county jail"
The value of the ore is estimated
to be $4,000, as 1t took three auto
mobiles to remove 1t from the cabin
The strangest part OF the narrative
is that neither the sheriffs office no
the Tonopah chief of police or an,
of his officers who patrol the neigh
borhood in question were advised o
asked to assist in the capture o
such a desperate gAng.

SUBVERS|vE OF
SELF RESPECT TO
FAVOR A REPEAL
UTAH ORATOR SCORES THE AD-
MlNISTRATioN ON CANAL
TOLLS BILL.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 49,
Senator Sutherland, of Utah, said in
the senate that in the history of free
government no such astounding prop
osition ever before had been presented
to that great legislative body as the
demand Of the president that congress
should repeal the tolls exemption law
without raising the question
whether we were right or wrong" he
said. ito comply with the request
would be so utterly subversive of
every consideration of self-respect,
that even those who intend to capitu-
late viii raise question and make
pretense of iustifying their action on
defensive grounds before acceding to
the presidents request"
Senator Sutherland said he intend
ed to vote against repeal, although he
favored arbitration.

NEW YORK, May 1S,-The fourth
and most important to date of the
many international sports competi-
tions in which the experts of the
United States and England meet this
year will begin tomorrow with the
playing of the English amateur golf
championship tournament over the
course of the Royal st. George Golf
club at Sandwich. For this golf
classic of the old world America
has made the most representative
entry in its history, and the spirit
of seeking new fields to conquer is
most commendable, since there was
no organized effort in this direction,
each of the dozen or so American
entrants competing as individuals.
That under these conditions the fore
most amateur players of this country
should be eager to pit their skill
against the best golfers of England,
continental Europe and even far
away Australia speaks well for their
spirit of sportsmanship and their be.

Mrs H. P. Voth was up from Eihn'
wood Tuesday visiting with friends
AMI shopping. Mrs. voth and child
rem have lately returned from a six
months stay in San Diego, Calf, and
Mrs. voth says that while they liked
the country there greatly, yet they
are still glad to be back in old Bar
ton county, as even ideal weather
such as they have there, gets tire
some at last, and that old Kansas
winds and storms are at times q
great relief from the monotony OF
perpetual sunshine. She reports that
times are very dull now in all parts
Of California, and that in all Of the
larger cities there are many thous
ands Of men who are out Of money
and can secure no employment. The
tourist crop, from which the state de
rives its main revenue, has been very
short during the past year, and as q
consequence there is not much doine

to be a foot-maybe more-tall. SO
the watchful caretaker gets him a
nice wire stake and puts it down
alongside his pbantship, and then ties
it up to the stake to help it grow tail
and straight. Being an ambitious
plant, it shot up in fine style, until, a
month later it had to again be tee
fast to its stake, near the top. II
had also had more nicoteen baths,
more washing and spraying with nice
cool water sometimes twice a day.
Then, being, as l said, an ambitious
plant, it began to shoot out numerous
buds. But this inclination to raise a
large family of blooms was locked up
on with disfavor by the florist. He
wanted to produce a nice,big flower
for the lady. So he proceeded to
carefully pinch off all the buds but
one at the very top. And he kept his
eyes On Mr.. Plant constantly, every
day, that it might not sneak out more
buds 'unbekmownst' to him.
After a few weeks Of careful watch
ing the plant recognized the fruitless'
ness Of trying to be a prolific bloom
er, and It put its whole attention to
swelling up that one bud; and along
in November it opened out into a
very beautiful flower-the pride q
the man who had been ooaxing and
coddMng It all these long months.
The lady quoted at the head Of thi'
story heard about this flower some
way and telephoned the florist tC
send it down to her house. So as
such am order was what the flower
man had had in mind for the aas
twelve months, he cut the plant, toof
it into his coldIroOm, split the end O

think he did?
OF course the florist was raising
other chrysaRthemumG and OtteT
kinds of flowers at the same time,
but he actually did all these things
to produce this one flower. Most of
the plants are handled as individuals,
only a part of the work-such as fu-
migating, spraying, watering and cul-
tivating - being done collectively.
Some of the flowers require more in
dividual handling than do the chrys-
anthemums. And many are nurtured
and coaxed for a year or more, only
to wither and die on the stem, or to
be killed by the many kinds Of plant
insects or pests.
Pointing a Moral, to adon this
tale. No matter how much effort we
have put forth to obtain a desired re-
suit, we should think Of the pleasure
We have had in our commendable
work of production, rather than Of hp
man criticism or the possibility of fl
nal failure. W. E. S.

THE GROWING OF ONE FLOWER.

Have you ever heard remark
something like this: MY, but don Z
the florist charge enormous prices
Tor cut flowers? Why, l ordered just
one chrysanthemum the other day,
and they charged me 55 cents for it.
I think that is simply outrageous.
Well, but is it? What did the flor
ast have to do to produce that flower
end get it to her home? Just few
things. Let us tell you.
Along last December he dug up the
root OF AN old plant that had bloom
ed the previous month. He put it in
q pot, placed it in a cool part of the
greenhouse and left it without much
attention-excepting to spray it oc-
casionany with nicoteen at a dollar a
pint,--until along in the early spring
when it had recovered from its dis
couragement over having been cut
down and had thrown up a few
shoots. The man then selected one
Of these shoots, and breaking it from
the parent root, stuck it in a sand
bed where he shaded it for while,
warmed it and otherwise coddled 1t
until it took courage and decided to be
q plant all on its own hook, and sent
out a few tiny roots to go snoopdne
about In the sand hunting for some
thing more substantial to feed upon
The florist then pulled up the ambi
tious little plant and set It in a flow
er pot two inches deep, full OF ricf
soil. It got busy and in the course o.
q month, probably, had filled the ht
tie pot full Of roots and was wanting
more room. Then he took 1t dn han6
again and put it in a larger pot, CIV
ing it three inches of soil this time
In a month and a hall, or tW'
mouths, it was again re-potted, thl'
time to a four-inch pot; and 1t ha'
grown to be quite promising size
maybe five or six inches tall In ina
not it grew until along in August.
In the meantime it had probabl
been sprayed with nicoteen nan a o1
zen times to kin off the nasty httS
black aphis; sprinkled with lime an
SULPHUR several times to keep Off tn
rust, and with Paris green to kill tn
bugs and worms, and otherwise nurS
ed and encouraged to be somebody.
So in August it was taken carfuA
out of the four-inch pot and set o.
IN a bed Of soil, where its ambition
roots could go roaming at its oW
sweet win, like a tadpole IN a rai
barrel. It was fed on phospha6e

Who went astray IN his youthful prime;
Can the brain keep cool and the heart keep quiet

And boys win be boys. the old folks say,
And the man Is the better who's had his day.
The sinner reformed and the preacher told

And Christian people threw open the door

And a spotless women gave him her band
And the world strewed their pathway with blossoms abloom,

There was a maiden who went astray
In the golden dawn o her hfes young day;
She had more passion and heart than head,
And she followed blindly where fond love led.
And love unchecked is a dangerous guide
