SECURES HIS FREEDOM
 BY CLAIRVOYANT POWERS
(St. Louis Globe. Democrat ]

What is believed to be the most remark able exhibition of clairvoyant powers ever demonstrated was witnessed at hearing Tn the court of general sessions, New York, June 29, before Judge Rosalsky, who was presiding. Professor Bert Reese had been convicted by magistrate as a fortune teller and had appealed against his conviction, To prove that he was not a fakir, but SCI enlist, the professor volunteered to give demonstration ln court.
 The judge wrote the questions, What was the ruling in the Shelley easel? How much money have l in the - bank = and What is the name of my faVorlte school teacher?" The demonStrator not only told what the questions were, but m forme1 his honor that $l5 was m the bank to his credit and that his favorite school teacher was Miss OConnor. Reese has given many exhibitions before the crowned heads of Europe and some of the worlds greatest scientists. Thomas A. Edison has tried valnly to solve the secret of his powers. He says that the questions and answers flash them selves on his mind without any effort on hls part.

CARE OF COSMOS

By taking a little trouble in the
summer Cosmos can be kept bloom
ing until Thanksgiving.
In planting the late blooming sorts
Lady Lenox is a fine variety-put a
few more plants than are needed into
as small pots as they will go, or if
you prefer, buy seeds and sow them
in April or early May.
AS the plants grow, pinch out the
ends of the growth when they be-
come two or three inches long, and
repot as they need it.
The Cosmos is a gross feeder and
a rapid grower, requiring rich,
well-drained soil composed of garden
loan, horse manure and one part
sand
Grow the plants out of doors in
summer, keep the pots in soil or fine
coal ashes. Lift the pots around &C.
casionally so the plants cannot root
into the ground Water abundantly.
Upon the approach of frosty wealth
er. the plants must be taken indoors
or in the cellar, where they cannot
freeze. BY picking off the fading
flowers the plants will continue to
bloom until Thanksgiving.

Wronu Conception.

1t is indeed amusing the wrong con-
ception foreigners have of the dis
tances of principal cities in this coun-
try from the metropolis. The other
day a rich Spaniard arrived at a New
York hotel from Barcelona. After
duly registering he phoned some wom-
an relatives, making a dinner engage
ment for p. m. at the hotel. Then
he disappeared. The women waited
three hours, but no don appeared.
They went home greatly alarmed and
reappeared early next day and re-
NAMED at the hotel all day, every
few minutes making anxious inquiries
for the missing Spaniard. About FIVE
o'clock in the afternoon, just as the
women were about ready to notify the
police, their relative strobe in, COW
cred with dust. With cries of Joy
they ran toward him, and all asked
where he had been. why" he said,
ct got into a car and told the chauf-
feur to drive me to Boston, which,
thought, was only suburb of New
York. But after three hours ride I
found out differently and sent q te1e-
gram to you at the hotel" Of course,
the women never got it because they
were not registered Whereupon the
don, panied beyond expression, be-
gan to buy wine for them all in an
effort to square himself.

ABOUT THE PERENNIALS

The perennial is essentially the busy
woman's favorite class of plants.
These hardy plants are propagated by
cutting and division which may be
done now
When dividing such plants as peren-
NAL phlox, golden glow, feverfew,
daisy, peony, see that a crown, shoot
or bud is allowed each new plant.
Plant in rich soil that has been deep
ly spaded
If you have q choice perennial phlox
of which you wish to increase your
minal bud, cut Off the first pair of
leaves, and the second pair wholly,
and stick the cutting in wet sand.
Place in the window with the house
plants.
For the sunless window provide a
tradacanties, araucarias, dragon trees
and the like.
By all means make a compost heap.
Gather into a sheltered corner or
shed, sods, weeds, refuse from the
kitchen and garden, wood ashes, bones,
rough manure, rotting chips, sawdust
and the like.
If it has to be made outside throw
boards over it to avoid teaching. Stir
frequently and pour soapsuds over it.
Do mot neglect to pot a clump or
two of sweet alyssum. Cut the tops
back within two or three inches of
the roots; give sun and water, and
you will soon be rewarded with a lot
of honey scented blooms
Do not be impatient with your ge-
raniums if they seem lazy. AS soon
as they become pot bound they will
flower; then they should have week
ly dose of liquid manure.
Sweet peas may be planted in the
fall in a well-drained spot. Plant a
little deeper than in spring, and
mulch.
Sow three or four seeds of the
large Towering mignonette in a pot,
and thin to one. This plant has a
long tap root, and does not take kind
ly to transplanting. 1t makes a de-
lightful window plant.
Cuttings of roses-hardy and tender
may be made now. Cut slips four
TO eight inches long, with strong bud
near the tip, bury it to within an inch
of the top bud in sheltered and we'll
drained spot, firming the soil well
about it.
Then turn an old glass can, tum-
bier or broken bottle over it. When
the ground freezes bury it with straw
or leaves.
In the spring you will find that the
cutting has rooted, and you may dis
pense with the glass covering.
Now is the time to plant for next
years garden. This is done by pro-
curing slips, seeds and roots; by
preparing the beds and borders for
early spring planting, and by planning
to avoid the mistakes made this and
former years.
A novel and interesting addition to
the window garden is a pot of grow
ing strawberries.

George is fearfully erudite. With
his thumb and forefnger he picks big
words out of his bullying forehead and
assemblies them into neat little para
graphs. These he carries on a tray
to a magazine where kind-hearted men
pay him money and beg him not to
come back until he has spent it all.
George was getting along very nice
ly until one day somebody told him he
was clever-then he fell apart.
Now he makes up his pieces in front
of a mirror and when he thinks of
something devilishly cute he and his
reflection exchange loving glances.
Then he pins medal on his breast
and quits work for the day.
Somebody should take off Georges
watch and slap his wrist real hard.
