money! Money Our Country Needs.
. Thousands of dollars aro sent away
from Southern Oregon 'each year for
plants of different .description to en
rich eastern florists and build up east
ern oities, while those same plants can,
and are now being propagated right
here at home. I have dabbled with
plants and flowers to a limited extent
without any knowledge of the business
yet It has convinced me that a success
ful business can be. built up among us
and that the mooey heretofore sent
away can be kept bere for home circu
lation and thousands of dollars can be
drawn from other placet, and thus build
up one home industry which may' be
the forerunner of other industries. To
back up my faith I bave employed an
experienced propagator for two years
whioh I think will prove my. claim; I
trust that people will see that it Is to
thetr Interest to encourage us in our
business not from charity,' but from
self interest, as we propose to give them
better plants for the same amount of
money. Besides this, the plants will
be healthy and fresh and can be planted
with a ball of earth around- the roots
and save nearly a year of growth. Space
will not permit a description of plants
and prices, but we invite every one to
come and see. We guarantee that
plants and prices will be right. Roses
will be our specialty. t

Glance at your family cat or your fox
terrier, or the cows In the field. All
their markings, and those of nearly all
domesticated animals are .mottled' and
totally irregular. This is the curious
result of domestication. Wild animals
are, as a rule, marked with beautiful
regularity. Look at the stripes of the
tiger, the spots of the leopard, the ab
solutely even streaks on tbe sebra's
coat, and a dozen other similar in
stances. There ' is very little doubt
that all these animals' colors could be
changed if they were tamed by man
and kept in captivity for a few genera-
lions, jraney a btack-and-tan tiger, or
a leopard with the irregular markintrs
of a tortoise-shell cat .

In tbe cotton state could be Induced to
go to some country .where they could
lire their own life and develop in their
own way.
The world boa not failed to note
what a poor atogger the blackaof Day tl

century of independence which they
hare enjoyed since they got rid of the

tbe fault of the peopleend not of the Is

they cannot do it in Africa or anywhere

finding a seat, for it was a free and
open church and -apt to crowd, up
dreadfully. A curate deacon, whom
we all loved, but whose forte was not
preaching, happened to be in the pul
pit, and caught sight of the prime min

around for a chair. It w,as almost hil

quite upset him. This Mr. Gladstone
quickly perceived, and picking up his
hat and umbrella, he scurried to the
top of the church, and, findlng'a seat
among the children, sat through the
yhole of a long sermon with his hand
to his ear, paying the most marked at
tention to every word. This gave the
curate I am sorry to say he Is sinoe
dead more courage, but after the
service Mr. .Gladstone took an oppor
