AN ALASKAN INDIAN
 STUDENTS EXPERIENCE
DESTROYS GOOD FLOWERS BY
 MISTAKE

Soon after Marietta College elosed for the summer vacation in 1891, Mrs. Ewing in whose good home three other students and myself stayed left on trip to northern Ohio. The students also went away leaving Mir. Ewing, man of advanced years, and myself to keep the house.
 To say that we had nice time to- gether is but faint expression of that experience. Nlr. Ewing did the cooking, and he left the general house work for me to do. While Mrs. Ewing was at home We had chicken on the table once in very long while; but when her husband was at the head of the cooking department We had it once in three days.
 There were other duties assigned me besides sweeping, bed-making, dish washing etc. One task was to keep the flower beds in the yard in good order, keep them free from weeds r Now I confess that flowers were to me at that time all flowers, and what ever did not give the appearance of a flower was weed The flowers were to be kept and waterel regular ly, the weeds pulled and thrown a- way.
 One morning after breakfast ard the chores were done, went out on the usual flower-bed inspection. To my surprise lot of weeds were com ing up from one of the beds. They were already three. four and five inches high. What else could do but to perform my duty faithfully. So one by one the weeds were rooted up and thrown over the fence into the alley.
 That noon on my return from the college buildings AIr. Ewing was in q raging temper He said that some one in our absence had robbed some of Mrs. Ewing's most rare and val uable flowers which he had planted out only the afternoon before. "sI am going to look into this.'' he said, "and if ever the robber is caught he should be given good whipping, be sides spending some time in jail''.
 On further inquiry the matter was all clear to me and how my heart was beating But I would not cross the kindhearted but indignant friend right there and then. so I waited until hs cooled off later in the day when the facts of the case were made known to him. We fell into hearty laugh that greatly ailed our l;eestion at supper.
 The situation was tAis, there were some flowers n a number sf pots Il the house tiiat Mrs. Ewing considered very valuable, and ofef which her husband had care. These were to be planted out in the garder at 8 cor tain time, and this was done without m1 knowledge. The plants that morn ing looked like weeds to me, hence the action on them. Why didn't l stop to think that weeds could not grew five inches within twelve hours, and grow in very ne4r and orderly rows that they dida I have learned "a little better about flowers since then. In other words, I have learned, or am trying to learn, not to jump too quickly at conclusions.

FORD COULD BUILD
 SUB WITH GREAT
 EXPLOSIVE POWER

DETROIT, Sept 29.-ln an inter- view here Henry Ford said: "It would be no trick at all to build submar- inc one.fourth the size of those now in use that could carry pill at the end of @ pole with sufficient explosive power to hoist the mightiest dread naught ever built out of the sea. The new submarines would cost only a fraction of 1 per cent of what our lat est dreadnaughts will cost. submar- ines equipped with gasoline engines for their motive power can be made to weigh a quarter of what the pres ent ones do. They can be made to be propelled and guided, not only from one side to the other, but up and down in the water entirely by their own power They can be made to swim around with as much freedom of motion as a fish"

A. Bonar Law, Walter Hume Long, J. Austin Chamberlain. Lord Seiborne and Sir Edward Carson. forming the conscrip. tionist party. arc said to be threaten- ing to resign unless Premier AsQuith the first Lord oi Admiralty Baliour, Foreign Secretary Grey, Lord Kitchen CT and other prominent Cabinet mem bers adopt their policy Lacking posi- tive statements from Premier AsQuith and Lord Kitchener that compulsory service is necessary the system is likely to find but little support in the present Parliament. However, a great many members opposed to con- scription are prepared to accept the verdict of the premier and the Sec cretary of War on the question. The present rate of recruiting is close to 10000 9 week which is ample for all existing requirements, as Che equip ment of the new armies does not pro- ceed quite SO rapidly as their recruit ing.

MORGAN
 HEADS TITLE
 WAR LOAN

NEW YORK. Sept 29.- Secretary Davidson. Of Che J p Morgan Bank ing house announced today that the plan Of the loan to allies has been de- dnitely settled 'It win be 9 haif bl- lion dollars" he said. The rate of inc terest win be five per cont on joint British and French bonds. which win be issued to the public at 9S, thus yielding 51k percent and to nation wide bankers at 96. in denominations as low as S10O-
 The American says J. P. Morgan has asked the aid oi the Rockefollers for the proposed loan to tho Allies and it is understood he has received scant encouragement More than $50 threatening letters have been receiv- ed by members of tho Franco-British commission.

 Secretary Lansing has explained that the proposed loan to the Allies is essentially known as Q credit loan" to pay for obligations Incurred or about to be incurred for the purchase of supplies, and is viewed as pri- yate commercial attraction over which a neutral government is not obligated to exercise any control.
 A prominent banker who is in close touch with James J Hin said that Mr. Hn has pledged himself Co take 9 large block of the British shortterm bonds. He added that Mr. Hn has also promised that the banking in- stituiions and other investing enter prises with which he is connected throughout the West would take their share
