telepone, almost tearing that unresist-
ing device from its socket, and in three
seconds he had on the other end Of
the line Chief Of Police Downing, to
whom he was laying down the law.
Chief Downing demurred. He had
orders from the states attorney gen.
eral and he understood that back Of
the latter stood Attorney General Lam
ger.
Outranles LANCER
"But I am of the supreme COURT
outrank both Of these men, and COM
mand you to direct these business
places to open, as have instructed. I"
The Chief was still unmoved, and
then Associate Justice Robinson
pounced upon a desk and sheet Of
hotel stationery and there was indited
forthwith a supreme court order
which promises to stand historic.
Acts As Own Marshal
Even when armed with the order,
Chief Downing declined to direct the
business houses to reopen. Then the
Associate Justice sailed forth to serve
his own process by word Of mouth.
Every proprietor Of a confectionery or
cigar store or news stand whom the
judge could identify was informed of
his perfect right to throw her "wide
open" and was advised that the su-
preme court of the state of North Da-
kota would stand back of him.
Only one business man acted upon
authority conveyed by Associate JUS
ticee Robinson's special order. This
was N. G. Nelson, proprietor of the
Grand Pacific. cigar stand, who threw
open the doors after the jurist had in
formed him in the presence of large
number of patrons clamoring for ad-
mittance that he SHOULD not feel the
slightest hesitancy in opening"
Believes Court Will Uphold
"Supposing that one of these men
who opens his place Of business at
your direction should be arrested,
found guilty and the case appealed.
do you think the supreme court of
North Dakota would stand back of
your order?" Robinson was asked.
"Assuredly," replied Judge Robin
son." "As a matter of courtesy if
nothing more the other members of
the court would overrule an order is
sued by an associate"
"The supreme court has power to is
sue orders at any time," declared the
associate Justice in response to another
question.
"The fact of my order having been
issued on Sunday does not affect its
validity. This is not a civil action
but one affecting the peace and safety
of the commonwealth.
what Is the matter with the law z!
he was asked?
"The law is no good, ridiculous, out
rageous, replied the jurist. "The at
torney general had no right to issue
such orders and subject every one to
inconvenience. No supreme court
will ever uphold that law"
Justice Robinson denied Attorney
General William LANCER some several
times. When a business associate
came to Mr.. Nelson and urged him to

practically insisted that Nelson remain

that Nelson had opened up, communi-
Gated with States Attorney McCurdy,
who advised the officer to procure tho
names of all necessary witnesses and

said the states attorney last evening.

exception, for he took the lead Sat

valid orders with no bearing upon the

Senators rs Witnesses
At least two senators, several repre-
sentatives and the names of several
prominent leaguers were procured yes

Downing as witnesses in the states

ably will have their day in court when

monty seen in every flower garden,
and which are known as pompons, are
simply noted to give proper relation
to the annual chrysanthemums when
are the subject of this sketch.
These plants bloom most satistac-
tofily if the seeds are soWn early in
hOtbed or cold frame and the young
plants transferred to the open as soon
as the soil has become sufficiently
warm to keep them growing without
check. If started in a h0tbed, the
young plants should stand ten to
twelve inches apart when set in their
permanent locations. Somewhat less
satisfactory results can be secured by
sowing the seed about complaining
time in the open where the plants are
to bloom. The seedlings should be
thinned at least eight inches apart.
If the same care in regard to disbud-
ding and pinching back is taken with
the annual plants as with the large
lowered perennials, the work will be
rewarded by greatly increased size OF
the flowers.

There are both double and single
forms of the French marigold. The
named varieties are especially good
but very satisfactory results are OBJ

The African marigolds frequently
grow two or more feet in height, ana
for this reason are better suited for
planting in mixed borders or along
belts of trees and shrubs than in beds
or masses in small areas. This is,
however, the common marigOld of the
garden In America. The leaves ana
flowers are stronG-scented. The range
of color in the flowers of this type of
marigold is from sulphur yellow to or

She Picked Gerald Up on the Street

when her husband obtained a divorce
and she came to Chicago to obtain a
boy to replace him.
Unable to get one that suited her
at an orphanage, she picked Gerald up
on the street and started for her home
with him.
ON the train she met James Collins
and they fell in love and were married.
1t was months later that schoolgirl,
picking up a newspaper, recognized
the picture of the missing Gerald as
that OF Howard Collins as the kid
mapped boy had been renamed.
The authorities were notified, the
Collins couple arrested and the boy re-
turned to his parents. Identification
was established definitely by the fact
that when he saw his sister, IIilda, he
at Gnce held out his arms to her and
cried "HoOgie." his baby pronuncla-
ton Of her name.
The elder Lapiner is said to have
spent virtually his entire fortune IN
efforts to recover the boy before he
finally was found.

MARIGOLD
1T aueteS)

There are two distinct types of gar
den marigolds, each with numerous
horticultural varieties, derived from
two distinct species.
The French marigold, which is the
most compact and regular in growth,
and consequently the most valuable as
a bedding or a border plant, has been
developed from tagetes patula, while
the African marigold, which is of a
more spreading and open habit OF
growth and therefore less suited for
bedding purposes, but well adapted for
herbaceous or shrubbery borders, has
been developed from tagetes erecta.
The common names of these plants
give no clew to their nativity, both be-
