story. This one is about the War OF
the Roses-at last the Red Rose wins
in Tennessee.
Tennessee's War of the Roses began
q century ago. Its beginning brings
back a dramatic scene away back in
1856. Picture a four-poSter mahog-
any bed with a colonial console table
or either side On one table is
vase of blood-red roses; on the other
a vase of roses of snowy white. In
the bed is a stately old lady. On
either side is a kneeling man, each
in the prime of life. The lady takes
a red rose from its vase and pins it
on the lapel of one Of the kneeling
men. On the other kneeling man she
pins a white rose, and then she makes
the two men on their knees swear to
her that there shall be no strife be-
tween them.
The woman was Mrs. Nathaniel G..
Taylor, wife of Republican congress
man from Tennessee during the Civil
war. The red rose man was Alfred
Alexander Taylor, her son. The white
rose man was Robert Love Taylor, her
son.
Really, you know, the campaign
which thereupon became known as the
War of the Roses had been on for
some little time. Rob and Aft were
running against each other for gov
ernor. the former on the Democratic
ticket and the latter on the Repub-
lican. Tennessee in those days was
dyed-in-the-wool Democratic. There
was little chance for ALT. His mother
advised him not 10 accept the nominal
ton against his brother, fearing bad
blood between the two. When he dis
regarded her advice she took 10 her
bed The brothers, hearing Of her
s'illness' dropped their electioneering
and FASTENED to her bedside. After
she had pledged them to mo strife
she got up.
Alfred and Bob went back to their
campaigning kept their promises
to their mother. The brothers made
the most singing partisan speeches
on the platform, and attacked each
other with every sort of jibe and ridi-
cule, both being ready at repartee, but
out of the public eye they were al
ways affectionate, devoted comrades,
laughing at the wordy tits in which
they had just INDUCED. 80
The War of the Roses was one of
the unique political battles of the ma
ton. Way back in 1886 there was not
even a thought of woman suffrage in
Tennessee, for the women were as
bitterly partisan as the men. The
women at social gatherings and sew
ing circles sat making cloth and pa
per roses, white and red ones, argu-
ing with vehemence about the com
parative merits of the two candidates
Tall white candles were set in Demo
cratic windows and red tissue paper
shades were made for Republican can
dies, while nightly torch parades and
rallies were held in the streets. If the
parades passed an illumined house

approved by fashion which distinctly
favors wraps that may be described
as ,sumptuous. Each Of these coats
is distinctly new in some style points.
The model at the left is made of one
of the heavier Of spring pile fabrics
and has it's unusual collar striped
with bands Of black which may be OF
patent leather or of ribbon. Beige
colored coats with finishing and en-
bellishments of patent leather are
among the best of the seasons offer
ings.
The coat at the right might be more
accurately described as mantle,
shaped into wide sleeves at the sides.
1t is a very clever piece Of designing
with it's body gathered into length
of the material which becomes yoke,
collar and scarf, all in one. The scarf
ends are finished with handsome tas-
sells.

levels. Each step is downward and
the tangles of wrongdoing are hard to
undo. No one wants pity and few are
just candidates for sympathy. Each
round Of society forms its own circles
and it's hard to break through the
bounds Of habit. The downward road
is easy. The upgrade demands energy
and an elevated vision. Few folks can
stand the strain of constant struggle
with oppression. So the easiest thing
to do is to follow the line of least re-
sistance and just drift. It's so easy to

Mental Depression Common.

Comparatively few persons, If the
feeble minded and large number of

of sea sickness, than the less 'brainy"

1t was the late Bishop Zardetti who
sent him to Melrose to build up the.
parish and although there are many
Catholic parishes in Stearns that have
larger memberships, Father Richie
there built the largest Catholic
church in the county which will stand
as an enduring monument to his zeal
an dhis administrative ability.
Right Rev. Richter was born IN the
Province of Westphalia, Russia, Ger
many, September %, 1868. After at
tending the common schools he PISS
ed through high school into the Unsi
yersity OF Muenster. In December
1884 he came to America and coIiairi-
.ued his theological studies at St.
Francis Seminary, near Milwaukee,
Wis. He was ordained to the priest
hood June "a, 1887. His first parish
was located at White Lake, South
Dakota. His pious devotion and en-
ergetic work attracted the attention
of Right Rev. Bishop Otto Zardetti
who made him pastor of the Cathed-
"a. of st. Cloud. On June z, 1884 ne
was transferred to Melrose and be
came pastor of the st. Boniface
church. His work there has been
notable one, and has resulted in the
largest Catholic church in Stearns
county. The parish consists OF 3oe
families, all Germans, and all devot-
ed to the cause Of the church. Under
the direction -of Father Richter, thu
magnificent church edifice was erect
ed in 1899 at a cost including fixture:
of S75, 700, the rectory in 1907 at
cost of $4,000, the convent in 19OS
at cost Of about $1,000 and a pa
