CUTTING THE ROSES.
How TO Remove tho Flowers Without
lnIurIng the Plants.

lnjurIng the Plants.
There Is a right as well as wrong
way to cut roses. If not cut cor
ties of the plants may be seriously In
iured This applies particularly, of
course to rose plants chosen and
grown especially to supply cut flowers.
Such roses viii be largely OF the per
petual blooming sorts.
When q rose is cut from such plant
only two or three eyes of the current
seasons growth of that branch should
be left on the plant This should give
the roses very long stems. Succeeding
II will seem like destroying the bush
to take so much Off, but if the object
is the production Of roses the cutting
away of the surplus wood viii simply
further the desired end
II the spring pruning has not been
sufficiently severe the plant is likely
to have long, naked stalks and short
stems to the flowers In such a case
only one or two strong leaf buds
should be left on the branch when the
dover is cut, so as TO stimulate as
much growth as possible from the base
OF the plant
The temptation Is great TO leave
wood where there are two or more
buds on one branch, some being small
when the terminal one is open. This
bad practice can be avoided by pinch
ing of all side shoots after bud has
formed on the end of a branch, thus
leaving the stem perfectly clean and
willowy.-Popular Science Monthly.

THE FORWARD LOOK.

Il Is Never Too Late to Make Fresh
Start In Life,
Now and then a man pauses to take
account OF stock and looks back rue
fully over the course Of his life to note
the many places where he made the
wrong turn or was showed or the track
by adverse circumstances. He says to
himself, believing what he says, that
If he could reuace his steps and take
q fresh start. knowing what he knows
now, he Would not make such a mess
of things again.
He can put his finger down on the
very spot in the map of his life where
ne went wrong. There was a blurred
place on the trail, where there was no
trace of the footprint of any who
passed that way and no mark oFthe
wOodmans ak upon tree 1t was
for him alone to choose the way to
take and in his haste and fever to
arrive he chose wrongly and has wan
dered ever since.
A man plays game, or runs race,
or conducts a business, or marries
wife. or chooses a friend, or elects a
calling, or forms a habit, and by and
by the conviction is borne in upon him,
like q growth weighing on the brain,
that he was in error. Now it is too
late to retrieve. He must wear for the
remainder of his days the milestone
due TO the wrong decision.
What is he to do? He strangled his
chance newborn. He exchanged his
birthright for pottage. 1t Is of no
avail to plead that he had bad adyis-
ers, that he was misled, that he was
the tool Of environment, that a base
heredity rose up to claim him and
latent taint in the blood broke out and
wrought an irreparable mischief.
The past is there, and its legend is
deeply craven on his brow or scared
by the brand of the iron that has en-
tered into his soul Can he go backf
The years and the closed doors and
the finished chapters tell him no.
But the forward look and the futu-
rity provide him with a better way to
take. When Mrs. Peterkin, in the sto-
ry, had spoiled her cup of coffee by
putting salt in it and was trying to
redeem the error by the neutraliZing
action of all sorts of chemicals the
lady from Philadelphia suggested that
she make fresh cup. Seeing that you
can't go back, why not make fresh
start exactly where you are? Decision
has miraculous way of finding d
standpoint of rock in the middle of
quicksand. Philadelphia Ledger.

STRENGTH IN UNION.
Milwaukee Carpenters lssue Stirring

Milwaukee Carpenters Issue Stirring
Appeal to Nonunionists.
The Carpenters Union of Milwaukee
has issued fetching appeal to work
men of the craft to join the organiza-

Among other things. the appeal says:

There can be no doubt that the un-
ions OF all organized trades help 70 In
crease the wages and better the work
ing conditions OF those who are outside
the organizations 1t is only a matter
OF common fairness that the outsiders
should join and bear their share of
the expense and the time and labor
connected with the work OF the unions.
BY joining they also still further in
crease their wages, for, while the un-
ion increases the wages of the non
union man, it does not as a rule In
crease them enough to make them
equal the wages of the union man. BY
joining he therefore gets a still further
increase in wages. He usually gets a
decrease in the hours of labor, and he
invariably gets better working condi-
tons.
Nor is this all
He also gets the immense benefit Of
cooperation with his fellows. This in
cludes not only such tangible matters
as sick, disability and funeral benefits,
but also the increased confidence, self
respect and happiness which come
from the banding together OF many
men for a common purpose

In the telegram 1t was stated
that efforts of these employers to
supply he essentials for military
equipment woulo be without avail
unless the present autoCratic de
mands Of more branches of labor

In his opening address, William
H. Barr president Of the associa

ployes. The federal department of
labor was also attacked by this

cause OF its establishment of the
United States public service reserve
a movement which is intended to
supply necessary labor through h
voluntary action on the part of
workers. President Barr declared
that the public service reserve was
"suE stantially held in the grasp of
union representatives, AID he de-
nounced il as a 'surreptitious
scheme to unionize all industry
In an editorial entitled Where
Labor Appears 10 Advantage, the
New York World makes this COM
ment on Barr's outburst
Contrasted with the speech of
President Gompers OF the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor the trucu-
lent telegram of the National
Founders association, representing
many employers, to President Will
son must make even its author
ashamed.
Besides exercising a desire to
find some common ground on which
well disposed capital and labor
might be able to adjust their diff
ferences during the war, Mr.. Com
pers suggested as means to that
end recognition of the fact by or
gauization of employers as well as
BY labor unions that neither side
possesses all the virtues or all the
vices.
Addressing the president, the
Founders association does not
hesitate to assume all the virtues
and to implicate labor in all the
vices.
Capital in this case is rancor-
Gus. Labor is conciliatory. One
is self-righteously wrong The
other Is considerably and broadly
right.

The submission of an amendment
identical in form with the one sub
