years, and for several hours at their
new home at 919 Poplar street their

Keeping Flower Specimens Fresh.


When flowers for studies in botany
or flower painting cannot be used i'm
mediately after they are gathered, and
the botanist's tin box or vasculum
cannot be had for keeping them, a
high tin pail will serve the purpose.
Flowers will keep much better in this
way than by standing in the air with
their stems in water. When they are
to be grouped for a design, if the ar
rangement will allow of their being
put in water, as each stem is i'm
mersed, reach the points of a pair of
scissors down and cut off a bit Of it,;
this renders the stems more capable
Of absorbing water than they are after
being cut in the air, consequently the
flowers and leaves will preserve theb
freshness much longer.

charge The youth was lovable but
weak, and his indulgent guardian
dealt with him very gently. That
morning Mr.. Gresham had learned OF
his being seen with a gay young card
playing and drinking crowd. This was
the cause that morning of his unusual
spell of temper. as his employees
deemed IL.
A dark cloud seemed to hang over
the Office all that day. Mr. Gresham
remained in his office until noon. He
walked out Of the place then, his grim
silence adding new uneasiness to his
anxious watchers.
Ina. pale and sad looking, was start
ing to leave the Office for lunch when
Ned approached her in the anteroom.
Can have a word with you, Miss
Waller" he inquired.
"why, certainly" replied Ina, WHO
always liked the young fellow.

me-" he said with sincerity and hui
mility. Il am In deep distress and l

with true sisterly sympathy.

ing at me when he burst out so this
morning." and Ned, with honest tears
of contrition in his eyes, told Ina the
whole story, ending up with: For
the sake of you others I guess had
better go somewhere and make a
man of myself"
you will do nothing Of the sort!"
declared Ina. There is too much good
in you to throw yourself away. Go
straight to Mr.. Gresham, tell him all
you have told me, turn over a new
leaf and make him happy"
"Ill do it, and I'll reform, vow I
will" cried Ned earnestly.
It was late in the day when Ina
timidly entered the room of her EN-.
ployer, little dreaming of how favor
ably Ned Warner had paved the way
for a gracious reception. She noted
a marked change in his face as he
looked up.
"Mr. Gresham" she said, 81 have
decided not to wait until the end of
the month, but leave today"
''Why, hadn't you better stay for a
few days? My wife will be back from

Ina.

What's that? Me? Ha, ha! no,

I simply suggested that, as you was
going to become our daughter, it was
best that you exchange Office life for

And despite the fact that he was
not entirely telling the truth, there
was such a kind, fatherly look in his
good-natured eyes that Ina did not
have the heart to gainsay him.

Coliseum

Alexander's ability to release him. self from any handcuffs which might be placed upon him was demonstrat-
 ed last night at the Coliseum. He not only offered his usual line of mystifying tricks, but displayed q marked degree of deXterity in releas- ing himself from several Oregon boots in less time than was required to confine him. Alexander is the greatest artist in this line who has ever visited Phoenix, and his work is a revelation. The mind-r reading feature of his act is good Tomorrow night he will introduce the strait jacket escape, which is prooably one of the most sensational feats that he accomplishes When the jacket is placed upon anyone, it is usually be- lieved to be absolutely impossible to effect an escape However, Alexan der promises to do so i'll record breaking time If he fails, d. forfeit must be paid.
