To prevent these attacks, it is ncc

Beautiful, but Dangerous.
The laburnum is a beautiful tree.
Unfortunately, however, like many
other beautiful things, laburnum blos
som Is dangerous. The long, yellow
flowers and the seeds which presently
tnke their place contain poison cytls
sus so powerful that a hundredth part
of it grain Injected under the skin of a
eat or n dog is sullicieiit to cause its
death. In ten seeds of laburnum there
is sufficient poison to kill a child, and
there are a number of cases on record
of death from this cause. Also tho la
burnum exercises an evil effect upon
the vegetable world. The gardener will
tell you that (lowers will not flourish
hi the ground about a laburnum tree.

most fitting, for to Senator Bryan's
efforts was due the fact that Florida
was complimented by having her
name bestowed on this latest and
greatest of the country's naval de

priate, being a Crusader's shield sur
mounted by a medalion bearing a
profile of Senator Bryan. The meda

Bruceville, Tenn. Five men
were taken out alive from the
Cross Mountain mine after all
hope of saving any of the 100
or more men entombed by the
explosion had been abandoned.
AH exeept one man were In good
condition after sixty hours be-
low the earth, and the rescuers
were so encouraged that they
bent their energies anew and v
there were excellent prospects
that more Burvivors would be
reached. .
Briceville, Tenn. Somewhere in
the depths of the Cross Mountain coal
mine probably one hundred men He
dead while their sorrow-Btrickcn fam
ilies kepe vigil at the mouth of their
tomb, hoping against hope that their
loved ones may be alive when res
cuers reach them.
Eight torn and mangled bodies had
been brought forth when search was
abandoned' for the day. Outside of
the immediate families of the entomb
ed men no one in this little mountain
village believes that any living thing
in the mine survived the terrfic ex
plosion of coal dust that wrecked the
workings.
For more than thirty-six hours ev
ery surviving miner in this region
had toiled with no thought of food,
sleep or pay, to remove the debris
and force fresh air into the inner
most recesses of the mine. They prac
tically have penetrated to the main
entry head, nearly three miles in.
They expect to be ready to work the
cross entries in which the other bod
ies have undoubtedly been cast by
the force of the blast.
Black damp developed and retard
ed progress, but the silent force push
ed dauntlessly on, some of them til
they were carried out overcome by
the noxious gases.
INTERS
M'NAMARAS ENTER PRISON
Dynamiters Arrive at San Quentlne
to Serve Their Sentences.
San Quenfein, Cal. The McNamara
brothers entered San Quentine peni
tentiary, where James B. is condemn
ed to spend the remainder of his life
for his confessed crime of murder in
connection with the Los Angeles
Times explosion, and where John J.,
secretary of the International Associ
ation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, is sentenced to fifteen
years' imprisonment for dynamiting.
The men entered the prison, it is
fairly authenticated, believing they
had achieved much for the cause of
union labor and had been misunder
stood In their efforts and the rcsi'Its
they obtained.
Whirled from Los Angeles on a
fast train, the men were taken from
it, at sunrise, put on a little river
steamer and landed, two hours and
a half later, at San Quentin prison
wharf on the shores of San Pablo
bay.
As the prison clock struck 10, John
J. stepped over the threshold of the
jail door, with his brother directly
behind him. In five minutes James B.
had become convict 25,314 and John
J. number 25,315. They were meas
ured for jail clothing, photographed
in two positions, given a carbolic
tinctured bath, put into stripes,
shaved and cropped and re-photographed
within an hour. 1
Cell 18, into which they were lock
ed, adjoins the tier. in which con
demned murderers are kept and the
balcony outside is cut off by a little
grate. Further down the row toward
the other end is the cell of Abraham
Ruef, serving a 14 year sentence for
bribery in connection with the San
Francisco cases.
Postal Service Shows Surplus.
Washington. The annual report of
Postmaster General Hitchcock states
that the first time since 18S3 the an
nual financial statement of the post
office department shows a surplus in
stead of a deficit. The revenues for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1911,
amounted to $237,879,823.(50 and the
expenditures to $237,(160,705.48, leav
ing a surplus of $219,118.12. At the
beginning of the present administra
tion in 1909 the postal service was in
arrears to the extent of $17,749,.
770.47.
McManigal Wilt Be Released.
Los Angeles,- Cal. OjUe B. McMan
igal will be taken to Indianapolis
w'ithin a few days to tell the Federal
grand jury there what he knows of
the alleged dynamiting conspiracy,
the first chapter of which was closed
with the placing of James B. and
John J. McNamara In the San Quen
tin state penitentiary. McManigal
after his trips around the country
giving testimony probably will be re
leased. He will be closely guarded,
however, at all times.
College Girl Suggestion.
Popularity is like some of the oth
er good things of life, the one who
seoks It seldom finds It. However, a
hint Is that ft follows respect Col
lege study is more deceptive than
school work. The first few months
often seem easy. That Is why many
girls join the social whirl. When the
midyears come they pay the penalty,
tin'ess temporary, artificial, flitting
"cramming" comes to their aid.
Therefore, at . the very beginning do
the necessary work each day.
The Frascr collage was .

chrysanthemums contributed a wealth
of color and fragrance. The prclly
young bride never appeared more charm

blue, with hat to match, worn during
the ceremony. Immediately after the
words were Spoken which united these
young people, they were whirled away
in the big touring car of Mr. Ganas, and
thinking to escape the inevitable shower
of rice, they boarded the train at
Kcuka, but their young friends were on
the alert, and when the train stopped at
inlcrlachcn they were ready for them
and delivered a parting shower of rice
and good wishes. Many handsome and

LEYLAND J. HENDERSON MAKES
IMPRESSIVE SHOWING BEFORE
BOARD OF ARMY ENGINEERS.
IT IS AN ESSENTIAL LINK
Would Affect Cost of at 'Least Half
Freights Handled By Rail
and Water Lines.
Jacksonville. One of the Interest
ing visitors to Jacksonville was Le
land J. Henderson of Apalachicola,
secretary of the Mississippi-to-Atlantic
Inland Waterways Association, of
which United States Senator Fletch
er is president.
Mr. Henderson came to the city in
company with other prominent Florid
ians to boost for the Florida ship
canal, which was under final consid
eration by the board ot engineers of
the war department. He was one of
the speakers before the board and
delivered a thoughtful plea for the
construction of the waterway.
It is, Mr. Henderson's idea that upon
the completion of the Panama canal
the machinery which is Still service
able and the main canal organization
could be transferred to Florida and
begin at once cuttting the cross-state
canal. He believes that the comple
tion of the project would be obtained
much quicker in this way.
In the course of his address before
the board of engineers, Secretary
Henderson had this to say of the
canal:
"Inland waterways will become ef
fective freight carriers only when the
rivers emptying into the Gulf of Mex
ico and the rivers emptying into the
Atlantic ocean are connectedb y inter
coastal inland waterways along the
Atlantic and gulf coasts, and joined
by a canal across the peninsula of
Florida. Why? Because, so connect
ing together, the Inland waterways
of the eastern part of the country
standardizes them, In that It allows
vessels of certain types to travel over
the Great Lakes, all of the rivers,
bays, sounds and canals without
transfer of cargo,
"The principle of rate-making giv
en above applies to transportation by
water as well as by rail.

Agricultural Department Officials Arc
Highly Pleased With WorK ot
Boys' Corn Club.
Washington. Twenty-one boys from
the Southern states, who won prizes
this year for raising banner crops
of corn, arrived here, and will take
in tbe sights of the national capital,
one of the rewards of their efforts.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
presented each boy a diploma In rec
ognition of the good work done by
them In the advancement of agricul
ture.' They also will be presented
to President Taft.
Agricultural department officials in
charge of the farm demonstration
work are highly pleased with the re
sult of this year's work by the Boys'
clubs. Both in quantity of corn rais
ed and in cheapness of production it
has been by far the best, year since
the idea was inaugurated three years
ago. They point to the fact that six
of the boys now here raised more
than 200 bushels on their acre of land
whereas1 last year this was done by
oifly one boy. The average produc
tion among the twenty-one boys is
about 175 bushels per acre.
Bennie Beeson, 11 years old, of Mon
ticelo, Miss., who grew 227 and a frac
tion bushels on his acre at a cost of
14 cents per buBhels, Is the leading
prize winner, having come within a
bushel of the beBt previous record. In
cheapness of coBt, Junius Hill of Ala
bama comes firBt, his 212 bushels hav
ing been raised at an average cost of
only 8 1-2 cents a bushel.
"The most interesting feature of
this year's corn work which has
spread like wildfire throughout the
entire South," said Professor Martin,
who will have charge of the boys dur
ing their stay here, "is the extreme
ly low cost of production shown by
them, and we are much pleased with
this, for one of the things on which
Doctor Knapp, who started the move
ment, insisted, was that no efforts
should be made to produoe freak
crops,, no matter what the expense In
curred might be, but that cost should
be kept down. Therefore, in award
ing the prizes oost counts equally
with production in determining the
prize winners.
