ST. JOHNS' "MEANEST
MAN" IS FINED $50
E. C. Robinson, a teamster of St.
Johns, Monday was found guilty, in a
Jury trial before Justice Wlllams, of
poisoning dogs and fined 850.- The caso
was prosecuted by the Oregon Humane
society.
Robinson's arrest followed the death
by poisoning of 19 dogs within a pe-riod
of 28 days. In St. Johns. -The evidence
showed that tne accused bought three
ounces of arsenlo of the Curran drug
Store of that clty.H, pr. Mitchell, veterin
arian surgeon, constable and humano
society officer, made a chemical exam
ination of the bodies of. seven of the
dogs, and pronounced arsenlo as being
i.ie cause or oeain. ur. Mitchell had
been called to treat several of the dogs
immediately aner tney oecame ill.
It was disclosed at -the trial that three
of the dogs were poisoned while tmdor
chain. It Is said that Robinson admin
Istered the poison because a neighbor'!
canines had killed on of his rabbits.
ueputy JJismct Attorney Dempsey
aided in prosecuting the ease. Manager
Kuoersaorr or tno humane society as
eistea in securing' the evidence.
In the hurly burly days of rush anj
crush, people apparently have thrown
aslJe the simple pretty sentiments that
attached to such things as flowers. The
language of flowers, for Instance, Is
something which, few folk of today
profess to know any more.
without regard to the hidden mes
sages that blossoms carry, ranging
fromwarnlngs-ofdanger-tf-ten(ierrt
affection, it is now the practice to
order up a gorgeous bouquet, of brll
Uant blooms, and without regard to
their meanings, forward the gift from
the flower shop the mesenger,. n
lad on a screeching, smoky, motorcycle.
-In grandmother's cedar chest, scented
with faintest suggestion of old lav
ender, the resting place of her' weJdlng
gown, me iirsi paDy s ciomes, ine uni
form that grandfather wore in the' war,
and other things around which cling
sweet and sorrowful memories, Is found
a dried, withered rose.
The giver is long since Jead, but the
bloasom, its petals torn, and color gone
still holds for her the; message of love
It bore In days of yesterday when
grandfather woed and wort her.
In those days, the language 'of flow
ers was known by every .youth and
malJ, and many were the courtship,
carried' on before the very eyes of dis
approving parents, simply through pre
sentations of flowers.
It la a pretty practice, and: something
which throws around Courtship days
something ' as eluslvely sweet as the
faint lavender scents in grandmother's
cedar chest. -
And there are many who no doubt
would learn the language of flowers, If
they only knew where they could be
taught There Is no need for them to
search further. Among the many fea
tures of the New Modern Illustrated
Dictionary, which The Journal la giving
away to Its readers In exchange for
six coupons from consecutive issues of
the paper and a small cash bonus, is
page devoted to the language of flow
ers.
The meaning of everything from
Arbor Vltae to Witch Haiel, Is ex
plained and also the various combina
tions of blooms, vines and leaves.
But the Language of flowers Is only
one of the smaller Teaturcs of the dic
tionary, which contains 1300 pages of
print, and Illustrations in colors. It Is
mora than a, dictionary, It, Is a refer
ence library, and one that is appreci
ated.
