The following from the Miami
(Fla.) Herald, will be Of interest to
Americus friends of the bride, Miss
Montine Horne, who formerly resided
here:
At eight o'clock Monday evening at
the Methodist church, South, Miss
Montine Horne, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. D. Horne, was united in mar
riage to DR.. William Tomlinson La
nier, of Homestead, Fla.
The church was a veritable bower of
flowers and potted plants for the oc-
casion, a color scheme of rink and
green being used in every detail of
the decorations. Many palms and a
variety of other potted plants inter-
spersed with vases of pink chrysan-
themums and Killarney roses made the
chancel beautiful setting for the i'm
pressive marriage ceremony. The
altar rail was entwined with bamboo,
smilax and here, too, roses and chry-
santhemums were effectively used. A
wedding bell of pink flowers and
smilax completed the artistic decor
ations.
Before the arrival of the wedding
party, Mrs. T. N. Gautier, Jr., sang
Because" (d'Hardelot and her
beautiful voice was never heard to
better advantage than on this oc-
casion.
Promptly at the appointed hour
the bridal party entered the church
to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding
march played by Miss Mary Hawkes.,
The bridesmaids entered first, ad-

This beautiful poem has often ap-
peared anonymously. c. T. Wett-
stein, of Milwaukee, Wis, searched for
the author recently and received word
from Mr.. F. Marvin, of Savannah, Mo ,
and Mrs. Frances Carter, of Stella,
Mo-, saying that Anson G. Chester, nj.
D., penned the lines. Mrs. Carter adds:
"The poem has wonderful history as
the man who wrote it. 1t has been
published in all the modern languages,
including Hindustania, Chinese, and
Japanese. 1t appeared first in The
Century Magazine. DR.. Williamson, OF
London, has issued hundreds of thous
ands of copies. of it in leaflet form
having gone to the press with it four
times in 1912 The University of To
| kyo gave it out for Interpretation tc
400 students, who were asked to SEND
to DR.. Chester with their interpreta
tions." "In my opinon,' adds Mr.
Wettstein, this poem is one of th'
most beautiful, almost sublime, in
spired poems that ever was written.

SOCIETY

each man for himself his fate.
We may not see how the right side
looks, we can only weave and
wait.
But looking above for the pattern, no
weaver need have fear;
Only let him look clear into heaven
the perfect pattern is there.
If he keeps the face of the Master for
ever and ALWAYS in sight,
His weaving is sure to be perfect, his
work is sure to be right.
And at last, when the task is ended,
and the web is turned and
shown,
He shall hear the voice of his Mas

And the white-wingeG angels OF heav-

And God for his wage shall give him,
not coin, but golden crown!

CLEAN UP, PAINT UP.

Statistics compiled by J. NJ Hill anI
Just made public by the United States
geological survey show greater pro-
duction OF mineral paints during 1914
than in 1913. This increase is par
ticluarly marked in the white pig
Iments made from both lead and zinc,
and is of interest as showing the re-
suits of the Clean up, Paint up"
campaigns which have been in prog
.ress.
In 1914 there were 66,566 short tons
of domestic ocher, umber, sienna, min
eral paint, mortar color. and ground
slate and shale sold, which was less by
1929 tons than the sales of similar
pigments in 1918 The output OF
white pigments-zinc oxide, loaded
zinc, and the basic sulphate of lead
produced by sublimation showed all
increase of 10 per cent in value over
1913. During 1914 there were sold
1O6,791 short tons of these pigments,
for S9.97S,71O
The lead pigments made chemically,
including basic carbonate white lead,
litharge red lead, and orange miner a,
and the chemically prepared zinc bs.
rytes pigment lithopone likewis ~
showed a decided increase: 245.2Ot
short tons Of these pigments were sold
in 1914, for $27. G21, S29.

FIFTY WORST wEEps.

The government bureau of agricul-
ture he's just published a descriptive
list of fifty worst weeds in the United
States. To many grown-up boy who
used to work on the farm this list will
bring back toilsome hours that he
used to spend on his hands and knees
in his fathers garden.
The ease with which weeds root
themselves and flourish is one of the
mysteries of the government of the
world The removal of weeds is the
task that makes gardening unpopular
with the majority of people. 1t is one
thing to plant seeds and start your
quite another to fight the weeds week
after week in the hot sun. Machines
may remove them on large tracts. But
in the smaller gardening one must
root for himself with his hoe and
often stretch himself on all tours. It
is work that is largely done by aliens
and other low paid classes of labor.
To the good farmer the absence or
presence of weeds is the sign of eff
cheney or inef1ciency. The thrifty
farmer will let HIS buildings go I'M
painted sooner than let some noxious
weed get a deadly foothold among his
crops.
But even the weeds have their
friends Probably no plant has been
more Of a favorite with the poets than
the daisy which Is sung to heaven
as the embodiment Of simple grace
and modest beauty. Yet the govern
ment rates it among the fifty worst
weeds.

THE STORAGE BATTERY.

The electric storage battery mas
come into such general use since the
advent of the automobile, the electric
truck and the submarine that it Is
well to remember that its development
was due to CASTOR Plante.
1t should not be forgotten that the
chemical storage battery does not
actually store up electricity. When
the battery is being charged the flow
of current causes certain chemical
action to take place in the battery
When the battery is discharged this
process is reversed and the chemical
reaction sets up flow Of electricity
RAYMOND Louis CASTOR Plante was
born at Orthez France, April %, 1894
He was educated at the Conservatoire
des Arts ct Meters in Paris. His pro
fession was that of a chemist, and
his principal work was the investiga
ton of the nature of electrical polari
cation. which finally led to his discov
cry of the lead accumulation, which
bears his name and has given him his
fame
He was always an indefatigable ex
perimenter. and as a result of his
experiments on the discharge of cells
he developed a weakness of vision
which greatly handicapped him and
which led, in 1862, to his retirement
to private life. In 1860 he was ap
pointed on the chair of professor OF
physics of the Polytechnic association
in Paris.
.Plante's best known work IS RE
cherches sur l'EIectricite," issued in
1879, this covering his contributions
to the Academy of Sciences. An i'm
mense number of experiments are de
scribed in this book, including those
which We're made with lead battery
of no fewer than 500 elements. II
also included a brief description OF
his rheostatic machine, for which be
received the Academy OF Sciences
prize in 1881. Plante received the

sition in 1881 and was also made a
chevaIier Of the Legion Of HONOR. 1t

to feed grain when the COWS are on

Senator Lee spends money.
Who in politics does not? But
as the Baltimore News signifi-
cantly points out, the State
knows the money Senator Lee
spends is his own money and the
money of his family. It is not
contributed by corporations or
men who want something in re-
turn. This is the fundamental
difference between the money
Senator Lee spends and the mon
ey spent to beat him.
