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 it's hybrids. However, its foliage
gets shabby and spoils its beauty as
a porch plant. 1t makes a 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 it's thick, fieshy
leaves.
The honeysuckles are desirable
and popular on account of their many
good qualities. They grow quickly,
forming dense shade and are iron-clad
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 ampelop-
sis and hedena helix-the true Euro
ipean ivy. The latter prefers a 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, n.y.
acinth bean, are among u 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 moo 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.

GROWING ONES OWN ROSE
BUDS
BY L. M.

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 a 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 are, it may be
transplanted in the spring.
Cuttings A to 6 inches long from
the half-rinened wood may be set in
~sand-cleSl, sharp river sand, is best
and this must be kept in a 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 sun; 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 a lavish hand to soften and en-
bellish.
When preparing to plant vines be
sure to spade deeply, manure heavily,
and prepare the soil carefully. After
perennial or hardy vines ire 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 ANIMALS, 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 it's youth ii
vines are allowed to clothe its branches.
Let vines shade the porch and thus
make it a 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
it's leaves are ready to cast a shadow.
It's blossoms are delicately fragrant,
and it's 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, (yir'
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

their color.

Dawson, lolling in the sun, sat up
and felt his cheeks glow red for the
first time in three years. The young
officer did not tell Lady Sibyl all, but
what he told her was enough, for the
next time she passed Dawson she
looked across the street and hurried
by.
'The worst of it is, the rotter used
to be a gentleman" said bennett, the
young officer, to a friend that eve

couldn't tell Lady Sibyl all-not half.
But when a white man so far de-
grades himself as to live in a kraal

Dawson had come North with the
best intentions in the world, but he
was constitutionally incapable of max
ing a living, and when reduced to
poverty he blamed his own people. He
wandered up and down the land, with
out the money to take him home or
even to a more decent section.
Drunken, ragged, he was turned from
all doors. Propriety is perhaps strong
est in all frontier settlements, in spite
of the yarns men spin.
Then it was that he had frankly
abandoned civilized life and gone to
the natives. He had always had an
influence over them; they were proud
of having a white man among them,
and in a short time Dawson found him
self a figure of respect among them.
And, strangely enough, Dawson cut
a very respectable figure squatting
round a fire with a half dozen savage
auditors, whereas he skunk like a dog
through the streets OF Grey.

think he can go back on his own peo-
pie, he is one of them for the re-
mainder of his life. And so it came
to pass that the glance, scornful and
high, of the white girl burned in his
soul.
THE fellow ought to be kicked out
of Grey" one man had said of him,
and the other answered:
They wouldn't have him anywhere
in the world"
Dawson knew that this was the cur.
rent opinion of him. Often he planned
to escape, to go somewhere where he
could start life anew. But he knew
that his memories would be with him
forever. Nowhere in the world was
there a place for him.
The rumors of native unrest accent
uated that winter. Dawson, seated
round the fire, had discussed the mat
ter with a dozen of the chiefs. All
agreed that the projected uprising was
madness. They knew the terrible
power of the white mans guns.
"But what can we do" they said.
'Our young men want to flesh their
spears, then"
Dawson knew that the then" had
come when he found that the ami
mated conversation of the natives
would cease abruptly as he appeared.
He knew that they mistrusted him,
because even the savage knows that
white is white and black is black for
ever.
He walked into Grey to warn the
administrator. He was kept waiting
by Lord Forrest for two hours, and
then Lord Forrest seat out word that
he was too busy to receive him.
But, while Dawson was waiting, he
heard a scornful speech in the draw

HIGHEST ROAD IN EUROPE

c. L. Preston in London Chronicle,
There are, In fact over so Austrian Alpine
passes, and have crossed them ALL and most
of them several times. First and foremost is
the great Stelyo Pass which is in every way
unique. 1t is on the extreme west of Italian
territory; 1t Is the highest road i'm Europe.
and is carried through scenery OF the sub
lmest grandeur. The special point of interest
however, in the present connection is that the
frontier line between Italy and Austria IS at
the actual summit (9041 feet), and nothing more
spectacular can be contemplated In the whole
than the prospect Of Austrian and Italian
armies coming face TO face on this amazing
highway. Eleven miles below on the Austrian
side, namely at Gomagio there Is an Austrian
fortress, but the Italian side. up to last au-
tumn at all events, unforthed. The pass
Is usually open TO traffie on June Is; last year.
however, witnessed the heaviest snowfalls
within the memory Of living man, and the
road was not clear until a week later.
Now the question remains, win the Italians
clear the road as usual, viii they refrain
from setting the snow plow to work and leave
a white rampant as a natural barrier against
invasion? In that case, the snow would prob-
ably lie fairly thiekly until the October fall
