rose attracts through its unusualness.
While there may be something to
this idea, we believe that the favor
in which yellow roses are held comes
about through their satisfaction of
certain taste in mankind.
Children prefer no flower SO much
as the bright buttercup. and many
adults hold secret preference for
this small thing. regarded by some as
| weed. The buttercup has never
seemed weed to us, but beautiful
flower. delightful for its glistening
yellow. Even dandelions win us for
the same reason.
There is something satisfying about
yellow flowers. Is it that they remind
us of the sun, that great central light
Of our world, upon whose warmth we
consciously and unconsciously lean?

The Gorilla Man.

Every once in q while a fiend in
human form appears, to take life In a
bestial manner, usually by wholesale.
Now it is a Jack the Ripper" the
London monstrosity who a good many
years ago slew women with horrible
denominations of Disagreement. Again
it is "clubber," such as he who a
year or so ago terrorized a Middle
Western city in this country and
claimed numerous victims. Now it is
q gorilla man." who has been rang.
ing over a wide territory in the West.
strangling women. The accounts of
his crimes differ but little in their de.
tails. He appears to have means of
rapid travel. going from place to
place, seeking lodgings in houses
where there are no men, committing
his crimes and passing on. There are
evidences that he has slain more than
one woman ~ the same town before
going 10 another field Of horrible ac-
tivity. II is believed that no less than
twenty have been killed by him. His
trail of blood begins in San Fran
cisco, where last February eight wom-
en- were found choked to death in
similar circumstances. Three days
later, in Portland. three more were
killed. At Seattle he took the twelfth
life in his atrocious course. Council
Bluffs, Iowa, was next on his route,
where he murdered a woman, then
moved swiftly 10 Kansas City, and
within a few hours slew two women
and an infant. Later similar murders
were reported in Toledo and Chicago.
The latest evidences Of this monstros-
ity of humanity are discovered in
Winnipeg, and there hunt for the
fiend is in progress.
That this man is insane is to be
assumed. Yet he Is crafty and calcu.
lating in his loathsome work. He
may have an obsession of vengeance
He may be sexually perverted. as, II
is now believed, the London fiend
was. In some cases there are evi
dences Of robbery accompanying the
murders. This was presumably mere
~ the mans means Of maintenance
while engaged in his denominations.
The peril in this case lies In the fac
that the gorilla man" covers such g

The abundance Of Nature is per-
haps nowhere better seen than in the
| floral kingdom.
| If man had set out to create for
| himself a wealth Of plants of all
sorts, for every imaginable use and
situation, his most extravagant
| fancies would not have resulted in
the profusion that now exists.
From the grasses that grow in
sunny and wet places to the shrubs
that thrive in similar situations.
through the galaxy of flowers of
every sort, shape and hue, Nature
has done we'll by mankind in this
respect.
1t is interesting to speculate Just
how it happens that man has so
neatly taken advantage of things as
they are--and the only avenue of
thought that gets us anywhere, it
would seem, is the solution of adapt
ability.
Man has done as we'll as he has. in
this world, because he has been so
we'll able to adapt himself to condi-
tions as he found them In the begin
ning-his beginning, of course, for
the plants were here long before he
was
Today. as one stands in his gar.
den, the thought sometimes comes.
Isn't it wonderful that there Is a
vine for every wall, that there is a
plant for every situation, that there
is a flower for every need"'
The ability of the dog to adapt
himself to mans wishes has been
praised, but the great variety and
uses of Towering plants of all sorts
are no less remarkable, although I'm q
different way.
Somewhere in the seedsman's cata-
logue one can find a plant for every
purpose.
Nor must it be forgotten that this
Is not the half of it. There is such an
infinite variety of plants that no one
seller can list them all, nor does the
entire group of seedsmen attempt to
market every last one of them.
So if you wonder what to plant on
the north side of the house, where
nothing will grow" rest assured that
Nature has several things that viii
do very well there. if you have but
the patience to find them.
This is, of course, not always an
easy task. Some persons have the
ability to resistlessly push through to
their objective. but thousands OF
others are not so constituted. and so,
in the search for plants to suit situa.
tons, often give over the search Just
as they are upon the point of success.
1t does not matter
II one finds not his plant one year.
no doubt he will find it the next.

The family of the roses is one Of the
most interesting. from our present
viewpoint. Whereas our grandfathers
and grandmothers had only one sort
of rose. as sweet smelling as it was
we of today have many different
sorts, more fit for different uses.
What is better adapted to cover an
unsightly fence than one of the
climbers? Aside from their bad habit
of mildewing, they are comparatively
free from disease, and their leaves re-
main green for an extended period.

some other shrubs. The rose is, as
every one knows. a shrub.

the air was vibrant with the most vo.
ciferous roar OF welcome ever accorded
In even that city OF much noise. A
feature OF the reception was one that
has come to be common in New York
upon such occasions. Tons Of paper
were thrown into the streets from the
windows of the buildings fanking the
line Of march. Photographs show

1t is stated that the aggregation Of
humanity in New York yesterday was
greater than all the four previous
Lindbergh reception assemblages put
together. those at Paris. Brussels, Lon
don and Washington. That is easily
conceivable. New York assuredly
turns out in force whenever big oc.

opportunity for wonderfully impress

to stage an enormous demonstration.
There was nothing lacking in yes
terday's reception. 1t was vociferous,
hearty, sincere and well organized and
controlled. The fact that Lindbergh
had landed first in Washington upon
his return from Europe did not In the
least detract from the magnitude or
the significance of the welcome. Nor
did the fact that he was unable to
make the flight from this city in his
own plane. the 'other member Of the

is the dazzling lights used by so many

The most casual inspection will dis
close that at least more than half of

Landing.
Speeding through the distant blue,
Toward some place where dreams
come true;
Speeding with faith complete,
Through the shafts of singing sleet!
Bold adventure has its thrill,
In the regions vast and still.
Then, the hour Of human mirth
Comes on getting back to earth.
When, at last, the journey ends,
Here are hosts of loving friends
Offering all that life can bring
Tributes worthy of king.
Then's the time to keep the brain

For the test of nerve and worth

of the President or of the executive
departments. The earliest flags dis

some years the stars were indis-

order Of President Taft on October

six rows of eight each. the stars to

A, Yes. The original idea was that
each of the stripes represented one
of the original States. Then Vermont
and Kentucky were admitted TO the
Union, and they were without heraldlc
representation in the national coIors

that the flag have Is stars and 10
