palms and ferns were massed high
with here and there a tall vase Of
pink Killarney roses to lend the dash
Of color. Before the altar was an
arch twined with smilax and pink Kill

PUSHING SWEET PEAS
Ry MRs.Nc. w. JENNINGS.

During the early spring months l
emptied the wood ashes, from the
cooking stove, yer the ground that |
intended to use for flowers. When
the time for planting came, l had a
trench dug, which l half filled with
ashes. Over the ashes l threw an
inch or two of soil, and planted sweet
peas, covering them one inch. In a
few days they were up and such vines
as I had! When they were six inches
high l laid cedar brush along one side
of them. They grew five and six feet
tall and gave quantities of lovely flow
ers all summer.
1 fortified them one a week with
soap suds, and hoed them three or
four times during The season, each
time drawing the dirt about them, but
never making a narrow ridge for
them to grow in. When this is done
they dry out too much. and do not
bloom well.
Nasturtiums, also, shared the same
treatment except that I did not give
them so many ashes. l kept the flow
.ers picked from both the sweet peas
and the nasturtiums. Soap-suds is the
fertilizer l employ most for my flow
ers and nothing is better for the rose
bushes.

In 1879 Lieutenant Scots regiment was at
Camp Robinson. Neb, and participated IN the
cheyenne expedition. Then, until 1891, the young
officer served continuously on the plalis' nsnt'
ing and studying and learning. AND presently
he became the acknowledge Indian authority
in the army. So when the ghost dancing craze
of 1891 came along he was sent alone 10 10 tne
work which ordinarily a column OF cavalry
would have been called upon to do-and ne oo IT,
You have heard of old Geronimo, the famous
Apache warrior, who gave the government so
much trouble in the days when the Apaches
were on the war path in the Southwest? Well,
General Scott and Geronimo for three years CANT
near being "buddies."
You SIZE, after Lawson and Wood and the rest
of them had brought in Geronimo and his band
of Chiricahua Apaches, the problem of what to
do with them was difficult. Finally, they were
held as prisoners at Fort Sill, and in 1894 Gen.
eral Scott was sent to take charge of them. He
remained on that duty three years, 1S94-97.
Here was a frst-class ethnologists laboratory
ready to hand, a bunch of the widest Indians
ever assembled on the continent, herded togeth-
err, unable to get away, offering a fruitful field
for study ana observation. The keeper and the
kept became fast friends, and the Indians i'm
parted all their plains lore to the stubborn but
extremely military person who had them in Rand.
Then, naturally, General Scott was ordered to
Washington for duty in the division of military
lulOrmdLiOu, dSSlSueO 10 the DuI6du L SlL-
nology in the Smithsonian institution, where he
proceeded to write his famous report on Indian
sign language.
But then came the Spanish-American war.
General Scott closed the door on that portion OF
his mind devoted to abstract science, and opened
up the military section to its fullest. Once more
he was the fighting cavalry man. AS Ludlow's
adjutant general he went to Cuba, and presently,
after the fighting was over, he was adjutant gen.
eral to General Wood, commanding the island.
For three years, from 1898 to the evacuation May
20, 1902, he was General Woods right-hand man
Elected so much credit on the nation.
Higher in rank now, he was just as eager and
enthusiastic in his study of the Cuban people as
he was in those shavetail days of 1876 away off on
the N~orthwester plains in studying Indians
And, as General Wood tells it, very much of the
success of American administration in the island
was due to the thorough understanding of tie
people possessed by this Woodworking adjutant
and to that adjutant generals sympathetic atti
tude toward them.
Then to the Philippines as major Of the Third
cavalry went Scott, there again to justify his
reputation as the greatest little pacifer in the
army" Equally apt in p~acifying with a machine
gun and with sympathetic acts and words, Scott
once more demonstrated his manysidedness.
1t is given to few men to be able to shoot ur
a country and make the people like it. Scott is
one of the few. He did that very thing in the
Philippines.

'PAClfIER

Born in Kentucky in 1852, he was graduated from
West Point in the class of 1876. That summer Gus
ter had gone out with his regiment, the famous
Seventh cavalry, as part of General Terry's column,
in the expedition against the Sioux. Custer and five
companies of his command were cut off and wiped
out to the last man on the Little Big Horn river in
Montana
Scott and a nu.nber of other graduates of his
class were hurried West to take the places in the
regiment of those killed. He joined his regiment
at Fort Abraham Lincoln, on the Missouri river, in
Dakota territory, and he, with five other officers,
slept their first night in the room formerly occupied
by Custer.
Then to the field. Through all the Northwest
country the Indians were in arms. The Seventh
was sent down the Missouri to disarm and pacify
the Indians. It was bitter. trying work, a mixture

For a large porch, with plenty of

The fan was a royal emblem in

were generally persons of royal birth
and were initiated into their Office

circular r attached to a long

ferred fans made of peacock feath-

THE GOOD OLD PEoNY
By CHARLES A.

BY CHARLES A. GiTCHELL.
The old-time "piny" was a nasty
smelling, ranklooking plant, with large
red flowers of stiff, waxy appearance,
blooming generally in May. 1t was not
beautiful, but it was hardy and pushed
its way out of the ground in the spring
as o o as the frost would permit.
Peony is the botanical name for this
plant. Varying forms of it have been
in cultivation in the celestial and flow
cry kingdoms of China and Japan for
a long period of time.
In China these forms have been
crossed and ~recrossed thousands of
times. The hybrids that are the re-
suit of these centuries of crossing are
the most beautiful flowers in the
world.
While travelling in China several
years ago I had the rare good fortune
to be in the interior during the bloom
ing season of these Towering plants,
and / was so much impressed with
them that l purchased 1000 of the
most striking and popular colors for a
home test.
These arrived in good condition and
were carefully planted on my farm in
Virginia. They fiourished from the
start. l readily sold blooms last year
for So a dozen. Most of these went to
New York and Boston. At this price
for the flowers, an acre of established
plants would produce $4,000 in a single
season.
The idea underlying the growing of
these flowers is go get the blooms early
and ship them to cities North, where
the demand for flowers in May, end
ing May 80, Decoration day, is so great
as to exhaust the entire output. 1t is
the one season of the year when fow-
ers are scarce.
The peony is the only flower of
prominence that blooms during this
season and the one flower that defes
dollhouse culture. 1t is an outdoor
plant, and will not succeed when put
under> glass, and therefore cannot
easily be forced by artificial means.
When planted on land that is quick
to respond to the first rays of the sun
in the spring, land sloping to the south,
but made rich and powerful to produce
a strong vegetable growth, the peony

Wnen the Hopi Indians in Arizona few the track
ocou went down and brought them back. Only a
year ago, when more of these sporadic disturb.
ances started. this time in the Navajo country,
scott had to leave his cavalry command on the
Mexican border and adjust matters. These are
but a few instances.
HOW does he do it? Because he knows the
savage ana the savage mind. He knows how
the savage thinks. He has the ability to put
himself In the place of the savage.
brothers" he begins, when he has to do with
a band OF Indians who are war dancing, tell
me what troubles you"
And straightway they tell him of this wrong
they have suffered at the hands Of the officers
appointed over them, of that i~ndignity which in
their opinion has been put upon them.
My heart bleeds for you," he tell them. Il
grieve that this trouble has been made between
you and the great father at Washington, whose
soldiers are as the leaves of the trees. l do not
want them 20 come among you and kill you. Is
there not some manner in which we can adjust
the differences; some way to restore the friend
ship between. you and the great father who
wishes you well?"
And then they get down to a settlement.
One of General SCOTS ancestors was Benjamin
Franklin-the generals mother was a great
granddaughter of the immortal Ben. 1t would
appear that some of the genius, the philosophy,
the diplomacy and the concitiating powers of
this, the first American diplomatist, has descend
ed upon the new chief of staff.
But, like old Ben, whose phrase on the sign
ing of the Declaration of independence, w
must all hang together, or we shall hang sepa-
rately," is immortal, General Scott knows when
to abandon pacific measures and to fight.
So it was when, in 1903, he became governor
Of the Sulu archipelago he determined that this
was no time and no place to brother the bel
ngerent natives. The Malay mind he mastered
as he had mastered the Indian mind. A licking
first and brothering afterward plainly was the
course marked out for him.
And such a licking he gave them!
Then came the task of breaking up the slave
trade in the islands of the archipelago. Alter
nately "brothering" and furnishing. Scott
achieved his purpose. He wiped out slavery alb
s~olutely.
And when, in 1906, he came to leave, the people
wept. Here was a man they could understand; a
man whose word always was kept. They asked,
through their chiefs, that he remain to rule over
them, but his tour of duty was ended.
Back he came to the states to instin other
lessons as superintendent of the military acad-
envy at West Point, for a period of four years.
Adaptability, that is one of his qualities. He
is adaptable because he knows men, civilized
men as well as savage men. Is it any wonder
they made him a doctor of the humanities?
Seldom does it occur that a young officer just
out of West Point-"a shayetail' as the army
knows such an oficer-gets his baptism of fire
within a few weeks of his graduation. Scott is
one Of the few.

will produce flowers to ship about
May IS.
At this season of the year there is
not a flower of this variety to be seen
in any northern market unless it comes
from further South.
The blooming season lasts about ff-
teen days and is generally at its height
just before Decoration day.
The plants never fail to bloom, re-
quire but little care, and being legumin-
Gus, enrich the soil.
Once in the ground there they re-
main for five years. No other flower is
more deserving of popularity. So easy
to raise that the novice can raise it,
so permanent that a clump has been
known to bloom annually for half a
century; so hardy that no protection is
required in the bitterest of winters.
and so free from disease and fungus
that one is spared the labor of fighting
