CARING FOR THE ROSES
Ry EREN z. RExEoRp.

There are several methods of pro-
tecting roses at the north. One is to
draw the bush together into as small
a space as possible, and wind it with
straw.
This is a very good method when
the work is we'll done, but, unfortu-
nately, few persons are able to do it
well. therefore / advise that 1t be
not done by an amateur.
One objection that can be urged
against it, even when the work is done
to perfection, is that the straw is like
ly to attract the attention of mice, and
il they make it their nesting place,
they are pretty sure to gnaw all the
bark off the bushes. elat
All things considered, laying the
plants down fat on the ground and
covering them with dry earth or leaves
seem to be the best and safest plan
for the amateur to follow. It is GER
tainly the easiest one.
The bushes should not be laid down
until the cold weather seems likely
to set in. / have known great injury
done by covering them too early in
the season.
If the bushes are old, and have stiff
canes, it will be difficult matter to
bend them fiat without breaking, or,
at least. cracking them. To facilitate
this part of the work, and make it
possible to do it safely. would advise
digging out some Of the soil on the
side of the plant toward which it is
to be bent. This will allow you to tip
the bush over without making any
abrupt bends in it.
Such large growing varieties as
the climbers, like Queen of the Prairie,
Baltimore Belle, and the Ramblers,
with canes half an inch or more
through, cannot be handled with safe
ty. A slight bend makes fracture in
them, and this it is advisable to avoid.
These sorts I would make into as
compact bundles as possible, leaving
them in an upright position, and either
wind with straw or protect with corn
stalks. 9

nese varieties. comprising the so-called

PARTY TREED BY cARABAo
Then Governor General Francis Bur
ton Harrison Faced lnfuriated
Animal and Killed It.

Chased up tree by wounded cara
bao. while engaged in hunting in the
jungle near Bongambong, Nueva
Ecija, Gov. Gen. Francis Burton Har-
rison had one of the most exciting ex.
periences of his career in the Philip
pine islands.
It was after having been wounded
by bullet from Mr.. Harrisen's .405
Winchester that a female carabao
charged the governor general and his
party, forcing them all to take to the
treeN. and it was shortly afterward
that the chief executive of the Philip
pines, displaying rare nerve, climbed
dov n from his retreat, and engaging
the animal alone on the ground, killed
heI as she charged. the carabao drop
ping dead in her tracks Is feet from
where Mr.. Harrison stood, his bullet
having struck the animal between the
eyes.
The governor general and the other
members of the party considered the
experience rare sport and fitting
climax to very successful hunting

Old Naval Superstition.

One of the oldest superstitions in
the navy is that to change the name
Of ship is to court disaster and it is
curious fact that the present war has
provided several illustrations OF the i'll
luck whicn seems to attend renamed
vessel.
The battleship Triumph was laid
down as the Libertad for Chile; the
armored cruiser Good Hope as the
Africa. the light cruiser Pathfinder as
the Fastnet, the armored merchant
man Viknor as the Viking, the patrol
boat Char as the Stranton. and torpedo
boats 10 and 12 as the Greenfiy
and Moth. All these vessels of the
English navy have gone to the bot
tom.
On the other hand. the four British
destroyers which sank four German
destroyers in October, 1914. the Loyal,
Legion, Lennox and Lance were, until
early in 1914, known as the Orlando,

GETTING NUTS FOR COLONEL
GardeRer is cooily Informed by straH-
ger He Was Gathering Nuts for
Kernel, Not for Shells.

Some time back a certain colonel's
gardener was going through the woods
belonging to his employer when he
saw man busy gathering nuts. AS
the colonel had given strict orders that
no one was to be allowed to pick the
nuts that year, as had hitherto been
the case, the gardener said to the man,
You'll have to clear out of this. I've
got orders to keep all these nuts for
the colonel this year"
ITS all right" replied the man;
: that's what I'm getting 'em for"
Satisfied by the answer, the gar
dener passed on. Meeting the same
man week after the occurrence, he
said: Look here, you were not get
ting those nuts for the colonel at all. y
II tell you was" was the emphatic
reply.
But know better. The colonel
told me that he gave neither you nor
anybody else any authority
well, knew jolly well was get
ting them for the kernel; didn't want
the shells. London Tit-Bits.

The only occupant of the Nebraska

"Any brothers?"
"One, and that's Bill. Bill might

And how about you? Can't you di-
rect me?"
Il might, stranger, if this wasn't my

PLANTING OF TREES

Before planting plan is necessary.
Have some idea of the result you hope
to achieve. and stick to that idea.
1t is mistake to plant too thickly,
as rank-growing shrubs have to be cut
out next season. It is better to plant
small, well-grown nursery specimens
In the places where large trees are
permanently sdesired than to try to
plant full-sized trees. Some trees can
be successfully transplanted If they
have been properly prepared by root
pruning. But it is the work of spe-
cialists, not for the amateur.
Evergreens ought always to be
planted around a permanent home.

tiehtIy the coming OF the preacher.
But the shadows heightened and it be-
gan to grow dark down in the valley.
Then came the sound OF hoofs on tine
road, and she laughed.
Il knew he'd come, she said. Tay-
lor was silent. It was Gabe Williams

mildly. "'Cause I'm ready"
"Cut it out, Gabe," advised Taylor,
as he stepped up beside the horse and
stroked it's steaming neck gently.

Gabe genially. did you tell her

his keen, gray eyes. 'What did you

And all at once the blood of old Jed

cabin and came out with her fathers
rifle up to her chin, leyeled at Gabe.
Her voice rang out clear and sharp
in the still air:
"You turn about and lead the way

And Cabe turned and rode ahead.

tried to take the gun away from her,
but she shook her head, white-lipped,
eyes brilliant with excitement.

have to cover them" she said go
ahead, Gabe."
He led them to the mouth of the
cave and Mandy waited while the two
men went in. Bound fast at feet and
wrists, Harley lay on the brink of
a pit, within sound of trickling water.
Il was coming to see him every
day." Gabe said. 81 wasn't going to
kill himjust frighten him bit and

thirsty, then tell him to get out of
these parts and never come back after

"Gabe, you're a primitive male, but
you don't know women" Taylor lift

But out in the twilight Mandy wait

behind him. and handed Taylor the
gun.

Harley smiled down at them and
waved his hand. Her arms held him
with sheltering love. and the glow
of the sky seemed to be in her face
as they rode away. Gabe watched
them out of sight.
That's Mandy all over" he said
gently.
