He and Mrs. Brodhead were out riding .three miles below the city when an attack of uremic poisoning came on him, and after being taken to the home of K. B. Snipes he died. Dr. Brodhead suffered a similar attack about one year ago, and although confined to his bed for soveral weeks, and to all appearances in good health later, he and his physi cian knew that he could not expect ?to fully recover. He was on the | streets yesterday afternoon chatting with his friends, but to them he de clared that he was feeling a "little under the weather." His friends thought that probably he was feeling the Intense heat, and never dreamed that his condition was anything near serious. About 6 o'clock yesterday after noon Dr. Brodhead called his wife over the telephone and suggested a drive out in the country. They had not proceeded more than two or three miles when the doctor suddenly threw up his hands and dropped Into an unconscious condition. He re mained in this condition until he died. Dr. Brodhead came to Anderson In hoi>e of improving his health. He associated himself with Davis Bros., livery stable firm, and came In con tact with hundreds of citizens of the county.

Ot I TOUCHING 8TORV OF > NORDICA. Famous Singer, Shortly Before Her Dr.uh Sang to Invalid Rx Ik). (San Francisco Dispatch to Musical America. ) The last songs that Lillian N?rdi ca ever sang lightened 'the lot of the patients in it he hospital on far-away Thursday Island, and they were sung particularly to a little Ameri can hoy, George McDonald. After the shipwreck, which ulti mately caused her death, Mine. Nor dica was removed to the island hos pital and there found this American boy, who had been taken 111 while on n tour around the world with the Columbia Fork Boys' Club of San Francisco. The lad had been sent ashore from the steamship Moana for medical treatment while his com panions, all except one, continued their r.avels. No other Americans were in the hospital; and nil who knew the Illustrious soprano can ap preciate the interest she felt in her little countryman and fellow suf ferer. While improving in health, and apparently on the way to complete recovery. N?rdica frequently visited the hoy, sitting at the side of his cot, encouraging him, and sometimes singing softly for him and the other patients. Young McDonald grew better and the physicians thought that he would soon be able to start for home. But he suffered a relapse and died. N?rdica was deeply grieved at the passing of her young companion and caused to be erected for him a small white marble monument bearing the Inscription : In Memory of my Little American Friend, GEORGE MCDONALD, Who Died February 13, 1014.

INO CLIMBING ItOSFS: After tho blooming season of climbing roses is over In June the department's landscape gardener ad vises that shoots should be pruned, so as to throw tho growth of the plant Into the new wood that bore no flowers this year, for this is the part of the plant that will bear next year. When a trellis is low (6 or 8 feet high), lt is a good plan to cut off the shoots that have borne flower* this year clear to the ground. Climb ing roses aro a valuable aid in mak ing an attractive home and will re pay careful 'treatment. Most people in following this ad vice may feel that they are ruining their bushes to cut them back so se verely, but tho young shoots that have started about the roots will surprise them by springing up with wonder ful rapidity. Each bush will proba bly put forth several new shoots that will grow as long as those cut, or one shoot will grow much longer. In either case the trellis will soon be covered again. One shoot in a Wash ington garden last year grew 20 feet after the bush had been cut down In this man" r in the ease >f a high trellis a dif ferent method must be followed. Tb . renewal' of wood must begin fro a i>oInt higher up instead of from the root, as 'the growth of a bush Is not enough to replace all Its top on a trellis if required to grow so far. Only so much of the old wood should be removed after the flowers have bloomed as will enable the new shoots from the end of the remain ing portion of the stalk to replace the old growth. About I feet ls a safe measure of the amount that may be taken off. Those who have grown climbing roses ns a screen on their porches, In order to insure a fine bloom the com ing year, will do well to follow the advice as given for the higher trellis. In other words, about 1 feet of the old stalks that have bloomed should be cut off immediately after the blos soms aro withered. The foliage will recover within a very short period ami continue to screen the porch, and next year an abundant crop of blos soms will be assured. Greenwood Farmer Kills Self.
