First Black Trooper
 Receives French Cross Of Legion of Honor

Paris Oct. 11.-The first and only trooper of the Turkos, or French black troops from Senegal and AL geria to receive the Legion of Honor from the French government, is a thick-set, coal-black, middle aged in fantryman who went through one of the queer experiences of the war. While operations were active at the front a short time ago, it was deter mined to fall back from a given point, and this Turko was given the small steel safe containing 5O,0OO francs in government funds to carry back to the new position. He was given a donkey and Etarted off with the safe and treasure. Suddenly, however, all the plans of removal were interrupted by a German raid, which swept the Tur- kos and all other troops, with their horses and supplies, into the utmost confusion. Many were killed and the whole force was badly scattered. It was taken for granted that the Turko with the safe and treasure was cer- tain1y lost, as even those not burden ed with heavy loads had been swept away in the impetus raid
 Some days later the French out posts were astonished to have the Turko, with the safe his back, trudge< into camp. His donkey had been killed, and for three days he

Protect The Garden
 Against Winter Weather

At this Season many inquiries come to the Unf7ed States Department of Agriculture regarding the protect on of garden plants Nand shrubs during the wintafs Such flowers as peonies and hollysfocks will come up again the following year if they are prop erly protFTcted during the winter, while otRe~s like cannas and dahlias, which arg more accustomed to warm cHmes, ns1f3t have their roots or bulbs dug, up ard stored in a cellar. The departments specialties give the fol- lowing suggestions for putting the garden to bed'':
 Hardy PerenniaIs
 Cover rardy perennials,. such as peonies, aa-:kspur, hoIIyhocks, colum- pines, iris, platycodons and perennial poppies, w:th a good coating of: man or ineFEes In more southern local ities this will hold the frost in the ground and keep the plant from alter nately freezing and thawing; in more northern regions the manure will pro- tect the plant from freezing to a, depth that will cut off it's water supply.
 Cannas and DahIias
 As soon as the tops of cannas, dan- hssh, gladiolus, ca1adiuns and similar plants are killed by frost, dig up the roots or bulbs and store them in a, cellar where the temperature will re- na1n at 55 degrees, and should never go below 50 or above 60 degrees. Do not shake any more earth from the c1ump of cannas and dahlias than is necessary in rem owing them from the ground. Place the plants on racks or in salt boxes so the air may cir culate freely through them. No frost must reach the roots nor must they become too warm or dry.
 Hydrangeas
 Hydrangeas (seni- i-herbaceous) in the South will last through the win ter out-of-doors, if properly cared for The tops should be protected with straw or brush. This may be held in place about the bushes with a little manure or stones. The flower buds of the hydrangeas form in the fall and this cover will keep them from winter-killing while shielding the bush from winds and sun. In the planted in tubs anad placed in the cellar. This is generally true of lati- tudes north of Philadelphia.
 The shrub known as brugmansia, also called thorn apple, should be treated as is thek hydrangea, but they are not hardy nearly so far north.
 As a rule shrubs should not be trim med in the fall. This process is time ly immediately after the blooming period, if this is in the spring, as in the case of the snowfall. If the shrubs bloom in the fall, as do some hydrangeas, the rose of Sharon, and some li1acs, they should not be cut directly after blooming, but in the spring of the following year. Lilacs, snowbaIls and mock orange should be

THE STOCK MARKET
(T. p. Watson & Co. ).

The underlying strength of the mar ket fabric was shown by the way stocks were taken by strong people when they were raided down on Wed nesday 10 to Is points and the vigor of Thursdays rebound. Beneath the ex- cess and frofh of the recent furore there must have been some solidity created by Investments of important interests and. public holdings protected by margins two or three times larger than in former years. The resistance OF the railroad, Copper and U. S. Steel shares to the shock Of the break else where indicated the absence of over

had been inside the German lines carrying a steel safe on his back. He never let go of the safe. When the Turko lines were swept into confu- sion by the machine gune fire, he first lost his donkey, and then with his safe crept under some bushes. The German lines rushed past his hid ing place and he was left behind the German lines. He kept concealed during the day and at night, with the safe on his back. picked his way for ward through the German rear guard to some new hiding place. This was kept up until at last he trudged into the French camp and laid down the safe and treasure before the astonish- ed French, colonel.
 They gave him the Legion of Honor and the whole regiment was drawn up as he received it from the repre- sentative of the government, who gave him the a,colade or kiss of honor on his coal-b1ack face.

Roses

neither trimmed nor covered with straw and manure.
 Roses Almost all kinds of roses are hardy in the vicinities of Washington, D. C., and St. Louis and toH the south of a line dEawn between these points From Washington northward local conditions influence the successful cultivation of certain varieties. Some roses, as the brtar and rugosa, need no protection, but other varieties, such as the hybrid perpetuals. teas, and, hybrid teas, need special care, particularly north of the fortieth parallel. Teas and hybrid teas hard Iy succeed in Chicago, although the hybrid perpetuals grow as far north as Canada. All these classes do well on Long Island and in Boston near the sea when proper care is given them These varieties in the vicinity of Washington need merely a little manure on the ground to prevent all ternate freezing and thawing. Farther north, however, they should be treat ed, as follows:
 Cut the tops to within 30 inches of the ground. Cover the roots with coarse manure or leaves or similar litter. Hold ths in place by ever green boughs which also acts protection. Brush from deciduOus trees or shrubs may be substituted for the evergreen boughs- except in the most northern regions
 Mounds of earth about six or eight inches in height should be drawn about the base of the rose bushes to keep them from mice. As an added protection against mice, permit the ground to freeze slightly before win ter protection is supplied. In fact, roses should not be protected until after the first light freeze, which may be expected in Washington, D. C., about the first of December, but ear Her farther north.
 Climbing Roses
 In the latitude of Philadelphia and farther south climbing roses usually need no protection during the winter unless they are a particularly tender variety Farther north these roses need protection similar to that given to the tea and hybrid tea roses.
 Where it is possible to do so, re- move climbing roses from their sup ports, and cover the branches with a little dirt. A little fall trimming might be desirable to lessen the space occupied by the branches the ground. Such side branches are not to be needed for next seasons blooming may be cut off. Such cut

speculation. in those quarters and. we believe that in these directions market interest is now more likely to de- velop. A two-sfded speculation for a time may be natural, but the technical position at the Stock Exchange has been strengthened by the weeks Hquidations, and the notice of the governing committee that strong mar gins will be required. The legitimate features of the situation are daily growing more satisfactory and we con sequentIy favor well-protected pur- chases of sound stocks on all reac- tions.
