 Speaking at the great meeting in New York where 10000 people heard and tried to get within the hearing of his voice so they could hear him. Mr. Bryan said:
 'I cau your attention the fact that in
 this separation of two officials there is no per

 And further:
 sWm the people support the President in
 ease of war between this country and any oth-
 CT country Yes thousand times yes but whether or not we should enter such war is question which is stiil open for discussion. IT war comes all will stand as one behind

 "The President desires peace as much as

 Following this at San Francisco last week he re fused to speak at meeting that called for the pur pose of protesting against the administration for per hitting the sale of war munitions to the Allies
 There is nothing in all this to which the most ar dent supporter of President Wilson's could ob iecs They seem to justify the statement frequently made by the friends of Bryan that he is sti sup porting the administration. There is nothing in it that is not consistent with .he administration policy.
 If Mr. Bryan had simply said that time had ar rived when he could serve his country and the admins tration better by going among the people and talk ing for peace than he could it in the Cabinet there would have been no quarrel with him. and the people could have understood his action

GROWING ONES OWN ROSE
BUDS
sy l. M. BENNINGTON

Nearly all hardy roses can be pro-
pagated by either roofing cuttings, or
layering shoots of the half-ripened
growth of the previous summer
This can be done at any time after
Towering, but October is. the season
usually selected. If layering Is chos-
en-, the shoot should be bent down,
and slight cut made, slanting, into
the wood at the bend, then the branch
should be fastened down into the soil,
and all the better If a stone or brick
be laid over the buried bend.
The soil about the bend should not
be allowed to dry out, and the plant
should not be moved until the next
fall though, with care. it may be
transplanted in the spring.
Cuttings to 6 inches long from
the haif-ripened wood may be set in
sand-ciean, sharp river sand, is best
and this must be kept in sunny,
warm corner or window.
Usually, the cutting will be rooted

THE BEAUTY OF VINES
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.


When in doubt as to what to plant,
plant vines, is sound advice. Vines
beautify; they are useful; they are
easy to grow; they shade from the
hot SUM- they hide old or obnoxious
features; they encourage the birds to
nest about the house; they are the
drapery nature throws over and about
with lavish hand to soften and en-
bellish.
When preparing 80 plant vines be
sure to spade deeply. manure heavily,
and prepare the soil carefully. After
perennial or hardy vines are estab-
lished, it is difficult to cultivate them,
therefore, do all you can before plant
ing them. When they begin to spin
they must have supports, otherwise
they will be stunted in growth and
unsatisfactory.
There are so many beautiful vines
among ANNALS, perennials and hardy
vines that it is hard to decide, if the
choice is at all restricted. If you wish
to blot out an old building, cover it
with vines. If you dislike the neces-
sary fence, turn it into a thing of
beauty by planting vines along its
length.
A dead tree renews its youth if
vines are allowed to clothe it's branches.
Let vines shade the porch and thus
make it q cool and leafy retreat from
the summers sun. Curtain the shutter
less south window with vines and let
them grow about the home wherever
possible.
The grape is one of the most use
full vines. 1t is hardy; early in spring
its leaves are ready to cast a shadow.
It's blossoms are delicately fragrant,
and its fruit is delicious. Attention
must be given it in the way of fertil-
ity, pruning and tying.
Among wild vines the trumpet vine,
tecoma radicans, wild clematis, (vir-
gins bower) and bitter-sweet are pop
ular. In transplanting the latter from
the woods, be sure you procure one
that is fertile, for some of them do
not bloom. The Dutchman's pipe is
another desirable wild vine, but it is
not as common as those mentioned
above
The wild climbing rose has an ex-

THE VAIN FROG.

One day bullfrog hoped on an old
log which lay, one end in the water
at the side. of brook. He felt very
important, for he was very large
frog, and could make a very loud
noise at night. He looked at himself
in the clear water and turned his head
from side to side admiringly. II am a
handsome fellow" he said Il am fat,
and my eyes are big and bulgy; my
coat is like green satin. and my vest
fits like piece of kid And he be-
gan to puff up with pride.
All at once a dog came running
through the woods, and seeing the
frog, he barked and ran on the log,
but it was so slippery he went back
to the bank. What noise you make, "
croaked the frog; land you have
nothing to boast of, you are not as
handsome as / am, and you cannot
walk across a little log
"You need not boast so much" said
the dog; "all you can do is to make a
noise and splash in the water and you
look like a green tomato ready to pop
open"
MY coat is much handsomer than
yours, said the frog, "and my voice
.is>eonsidered one of the sweetest that
are heard at night"
The dog. opened his mouth wide and
laughed. "Oh, dear!" he said. 'Tf you
could hear yourself, Mr. Frog, you
never would be so proud l do not
claim to be handsome or to have a
good voice, but l am sure that in
both Guido you" and he made anoth-
er dash at the frog. But it was of no
use. The log was too slippery.
"You cannot frighten me-" said the
frog. Il am too big for you to bite.

size"
"You have handsome pair of hind
legs" said the dog. you have a right
to be proud of those"
The frog gave hop to show them
better. Yes" he replied, they would
look very well on any table. but am
not anxious to part with them"
And your vest does fit we'll" said
the dog.

Grasshopper puzzle.

IL must be left next to the vacant
disk, and try to find the fewest pos
sible moves.
The fewest possible moves in which
this puzzle can be solved are 81. Here
is one way of doing it. OF course,
the numbers are those of the count
ers, and, as there can never be more
than one vacant disk, each play,
whether it be single move or leap,
explains itself: u, /, 2, IL, II, 10,

POPULAR PUZZLE IN LONDON
Favorite Among Young Apprentices
in Sixteenth and Seventeenth Gen.
turies-How 1t is Solved.

1t has been suggested that the grass
hopper puzzle was a great favorite
among the young apprentices OF the
city of London in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. Readers will
have noticed the curious brass grass
hopper on the Royal exchange. This
long-ioved creature escaped the fires
of 1865 and 1888. The grasshopper,
after his kind, was the crest of Sir
Thomas Gresham, merchant grocer.
who died in 1879. and from this cause
1t has been used as a sign by grocers
in general Unfortunately for the
legend as to its origin, the puzzle was
only produced so late as the year 1900.
On twelve or thirteen black disks are
placed numbered counters or grass
hoppers. The puzzle is to make / to
6 change places with those numbered
to Il, the vacant disk being left in
the same position as at present. Move
one at time in any order, either to
the adjoining vacant disk or by jump
ing over one grasshopper, like the
move in draughts. Nos. Z to IL
can only move in the direction of

opposite way. Note also that / and

sufficiently to transfer to pots in
about six weeks to two months. Much
depends upon the kind of rose, and
the care given it, as some roses root
more quickly than others. The sand
must not be allowed to dry out or
freeze.
When the roots are we'll started,
the buds Will begin to swell, and the
new plants should be lifted carefully
and potted in a soil made Of equal
parts of garden loan, leaf mold and
clean sand, given thorough water
ing, and the pots plunged in the soil
of the cold frame, where the plants
will not freeze. In the spring the lit
tie plants can be set in the border.
Cuttings may also be planted in a
warm. sunny spot in the garden, as
in sand, and a fruit jar turned over
them, pulling the soil up around the
jar half it's height and leaving until
spring. keeping the soil up around the
jar moist during the fall months.
These cuttings should not be lifted
until the following fail. unless with the
utmost care and plenty Of soil about
the roots.

quisite flower; and once started grows
shoots 10 to Is feet high in one sea
son.
The climbing roses are led by the
comparatively new rose, the rambler,
and its hybrids. However, it's foliage
gets shabby and spoils it's beauty as
porch plant. 1t makes brave show
when blooming. The good old prairie
queen still continues to be the stand
ard climbing rose.
The madeira vine, mignonette-
scented, has tuberous roots, which
are not hardy, grows fast and forms a
fine screen with its thick, feshy
Leaves.
The honeysuckIes are desirable
and popular on account of their many
good qualities. They grow quickly,
forming dense shade and are iron-ciad
as regards insects and disease.
The various clematis are all beauti-
full and desirable climbers. 1t is not
generally known that if clematis pani-
culata is severely cut back after flow
ering, it will form new wood which
will bear fine flowers and many of
them next season.
Ideal plants for covering brick, stone
and rough surfaces, are the ampel9p-
sis and hedena helix-the true Euro
pean ivy. The latter prefers north
ern exposure, as the alternating thaw-
ing and freezing of late winter is apt
to kill it if grown where the sun
strikes it.
The ampelopsis, better known as the
Boston ivy or Virginia creeper, is at
all times beautiful. The tender
growth in the spring is delicately
shaded and in the fall the leaves are
gorgeous in varicolored Colds. Grim.
sons and scarlet.
Morning glories, cypress pines,
sweet peas, gourds, nasturtiums,
Japanese hops, wild cucumber, hy-
acinth bean, are among our most de-
sirable annual climbers. Seeds of
them do not cost much, and a pack
age of one or the other will yield
shade, beauty and grace.
The Virginia creeper, honeysuckle,
nasturtiums and moon vines are trail
ers rather than climbers. Of garden
plants the sweet potato and the dew
berry are genteel enough to be grown
as trailers. They give edibles instead
of flowers.
