FAV0RiTE ROSES
BY ELIZABETH VAN eENTauYssN.

BY ELIZABETH VAN 6ENTHUYSEN
There is absolutely nothing in the
realm Of esthetic culture that is 50
thoroughly dominated by personal IA
yor as the selection of pet rose.
Every lover Of the garden and of the
home beautiful selects faYorite rose
almost as soon as the interest of flower
culture Is born.
| have been much interested in the
seasons favorites and the reasons
given by rose enthusiasts for their
likes and disIikes. They offer to the
student and the culturist valuable
hints in the care and selection of any
faYorite, because what one may find as
an argument for his pet blossom may
be equally true in any number of cases
and many of my readers may be able
readily to meet the claims advanced by
others and find equal merit for their
own selections.
The delicate formation. coloring and
perfume of the rose all combine to
make its study especially worth while.
Intelligent choice of a favorite often
marks the fower-loyer as effted-and

selection that does not follow popular
fancy always reveals an amateur who
is not superficial. For instance, the
enthusiasts are now experimenting
with the Gruss aus Teplitz, love-
~ hybrid tea, to find out how well

life producer of blooms. From May
until November the raiser of the pretty

Kills Mad Coyote in House.

Standing on the bed on which lay
his wife and child, H. M. Spencer, a
Wasco rancher swung the butt end
of a shot gun against the snarling
jaws of mad coyote and stunned
the beast, then beat it to death with
a club.
Spencer, who has a place about
miles northwest of Wasco, was awak-
ened Friday night by the barking of
his dogs. Going outside with his
shot gun he found the dogs graphing
with coyote. Spencer fired and
missed. Then the coyote headed for
the door of the Spencer cabin. Spen-
Ger beat him to 1t and fought the an
imal from the bed.
The head of the coyote was sent
to the State Board of Health which
replied by telegram that the coyote
had rabies. Spencer has killed his
two valuable dogs which fought the
coyote.
This is the first case of rabies re-
ported in Sherman county.-Grass
