most famous of the many cases OF

OF Eugene Debs. the Socialist candi-

historians now that he was obviously
nominated because he was in prison.

Little cinquefol Made First Visit to
America Hundreds Of Thousands
Of Years Ago.

Near the very tip of Mount Beacon,
N the Hudson highlands, there grows
a small white flower known TO bot
anlsts as "Polentilla Tridentata." or
three-toothed cinquefol. It's history
is as long as its name, and goes back
hundreds of thousands Of years. In
that remote period OF the world the
glaciers came creeping down from the
north, burying under snow and ice
all the country north of Long Island
and central New Jersey. The Gin
quefoil came with It, for the cinquefoH
rs a hardy little chap, and loves the
nirter weather us much as the famll-
iar snow blossoms.
When the glacier took up the great
retreat Il few flowers and few birds
und beasts were left stranded in n
climate that slowly but surely warmed
until the summers were almost tropi-
cnl in their heat, and, not being de-
signed for such torrid days, the spe-
cies slowly died out, first the flowers,
then the beasts and lastly the birds,

that have been destroyed The clnque-

In many of them there was still heat

Persia ranks among the foremost OF

The former they owe to the ease arl

WANTS PAY IN ADVANCE
Western Union Refuses to Send Mes.
saqes for state Department

Washington, Nov 16.-Tne long
standing controversy between the
state department and the Western
Union Telegraph company has reached
the stage Of an open break, the com
pany refusing to handle any further
messages from the department except
upon the prepayment Of tolls. The
company's order was issued Novem-
Der 10, department officials said today.
Ostensibly the order was to apply
to all departments Of the government.
1t is understood, however, that mess
sages sent by other departments have
been excepted informally from the
ruling. The company states that 1t has
based its action on the delay by the
department in making payments on
cable messages previously handled.
Department officials, however, as
sert that 1t Is their opinion the step
has been taken In retaliation for the
failure of the department to permit
the landing Of cable at Miami, Fa.,
connecting at Barbadoes with the
British cable from South America.
