matters concluded to suit the punctilio

the assured word that the republic of
the United States intended to stand on
the Louisiana purchase, constitution or
no constitution-that the government
purposed to take over the land which it
had bought. On this point Mr.. Jeffer-
son was firm. De Lassus yielded now.

Common Sense Hints
About Garden Work

Here are a few garden 'tdont's'' clip
ped from a University Of Wisconsin
circular:
Don't sprinkle your. garden. Water
it once a week If necessary.
Don't let the weeds get a start.
Don't permit the surface soil to be-
come compact or lumpy.
Don't cultivate a heavy soil when IT.
is too moist.
Don't let the bugs get your plants
This means you must watch plants
closely.
Don't try to cultivate too much land,
especially if it is sod. Intensive work
on a small area usually gives better re-
turns han the same amount put on a
large area.
Don't plant seeds too deep. They
should be only deep enough to get suf-
ficient moisture for termination. Peas
and corn are exceptions to this rule.

best is non too good, if it is not too
costly. Our department has endeav-
ored to give the best treatment pos
sible at the lowest cost possible. We
have been able to put a carpet covering
on our water bound macadam streets
by providing an asphalt finish for from
5 to Z cents per square yard, and by
following this treatment up each year
we have used it on some streets at as
low a cost as 3 cents per square yard.
At present, therefore, we have few
complaints about the cost Of oiling
streets. The only difficulty we encoun-
ter is that in the spring every taxpayer
wants his street oiled first.
Our equipment is very inexpensive.
We simply convert old sprinkler wag-
ons into Oil spreaders with hand valves
and gravity spray. We have three sta
tionary Oil stations located in different
parts of the city, each with a tank ca
pacity of 10000 gallons and fitted with
steam coils and a small upright boiler.
All u oil is applied hot, and although
we have been told that the cold treat
ment is better we think differently on
this point. The oil is pumped from the
tank cars to u storage tanks with
small electric pumps and from tank to
oil wagon when the Oil is at the right
temperature.
We have a special process for the
protection Of the oil after it has been
applied to the street. We do not use
screened sand. as it costs too much,
and a cubic yard of it does not cover
much surface. Under our system of
shutting off a street for a day when
oiling too much sand would be required
to protect the oil when we open the
street for traffic. Therefore some four
years ago we started the use of iron
ore Stag, water granulated, which was
procured at a much lower cost than
screeped sand. Besides, one cubic yard
Of this material covers as much street
surface as two cubic yards Of screened
sand. The iron r Stag has the same
effect in absorbing and finishing up a
newly oiled road as cement has when
applied on a new asphalt pavement for
hardening, coloring and finishing it.
A good road cannot be built with oil,
but when the Oil is properly applied a
Yoad can be kept in condition in all
kinds of weather.

Gardens For the Poor.

The eleven Endorsed charity institu-
lions of Omaha, Neb,, have taken a
very practical step looking toward the
relieving Of conditions among the poor
and the reducing Of the high living
cost. This step is the establishment of
municipal vegetable gardens to be pre-
pared and put to work this summer.
Every available vacant lot In the city
limits is to be put under cultivation,
and whatever profits are realized from
the crops will be used for the city's
poor, according to the plan of the char
ity workers.

Consequently it is essential that we

grown very keen in the scrutiny Of

SYNOPSIS

Meriwether Lewis after an. overnight
hunt returns to his Virginia home. pre-
sided over by his widowed mother. She
prophecies his future.
Lewis later becomes President Jeffer-
sons secretary at Washington. He meets
while riding, the woman he secretly loves.
Mrs. AlstoIl-Theodosia Burr.
Riding homeward alone Lewis meets
Aaron Burr and the British minister, An
thony Merry, who are already conspiring
together.
Jefferson receives word that Napoleon
Bonaparte has approved the Louisiana
Purchase. He commissions Lewis to ex-
plore the new TERRITORY.
Jefferson gives a state dinner and Of
tends some of his guests by his demo-
cratic ways. Merry. and the Spanish min
lister, Senior Yrujo. consider themselves In
suited.
Burr, Merry and Yrujo conspire together
to form an empire in the western terri
tory. Jefferson announces the Louisiana
Purchase and that he has commissioned
Lewis to explore that newly acquired do
main.
Burr explains to Merry ard Yrujo his
plans to seize the new domain, and to win
over Lewis through his love for Theodo-
Sia.
Burr tells his daughter that Lewis ex-
petition must be stopped by her influence,
and %persuades her to use it.
Lewis starts from Washington. Theodo-
sla overtakes him and implores him to
give up his mission. She fails and returns
to her father.
Theodosia then implores Jefferson to re-
call Lewis, but in vain. Lewis receives
word from his chosen companion, William
Clark, that he will join him in Ohio.

he handed over the keys and the az

mander, Il speak for France as well

tlemen!"
With the ruffie Of the few American
drums, the transfer was gravely &C.
k%nowledged. The flag of Spain slowly
dropped from the staff where it had
floated. That Of France took it's place,
and for one day f1oated by courtesy
over old st. Louis. On the morrow
arose a strange new fag-the flag of
the United States. 1t was supported
by a company of regulars and by the
little army of joint ~command-the

Clark to his, friend. "Time for us to
say farewell! Boats-three of them
are waiting, and my men are itching to
see the great plains. What is the
latest news in the village, Merne?" he
added.
"News enough" said Meriwether
Lewis gravely. II just have word of
the arrival in town of lone other than
Colonel Aaron Burr. 1 wish he were
alone. VIII, she is with him his
daughter, Mrs. Alston!"
Aaron Burr came to st. Louis in the
spring of 1904 as much in desperation
as with definite plans. Matters were
going none too well for him. All the
time he was getting advices from the
lower country, where lay the center
of his own audacious plans. but the
thought Of the people was directed
westward, up the Missouri.
The fame of the Lewis and Clark ex-
petition now had gathered volume.
Constitution or no constitution, the
purchase of Louisiana had been com
pleted, the transfer had been formally
made. The American wedge was driv.
ing on through. If ever he was to dc
anything for his own enterprise it was
now high time.
