"The Garden's Story" by Geo. If. Ellwangcr
is a sweet little record of the
garden yrnr; of the hardy plants of
spring, summer, and autumn and the
birds nnd inse ts attendant upon them.
In his chapters on the rock-garden and
hardy fernery he nlso carries the render
to view the "haunts of nature" iu the
wild wood. The story is most charmingly
told a>ld is inteisue.sed hero and tborIwlth
appropriate quotations from Shakee

botanical terms of the diffcrcut plants
arc given and altogether the hook is instructive,
int resting and pleasing to the
most aesthetic lover of flowers and flower
gardening.
"Barry's Fruit Garden" by P. Barry is
the acknowledged standard of the modern
fruit culturist. lie enlarges upon pruning,
propagating, transplanting, the kind
of soil required, the best varieties of fruit
as well as packing, shipping, etc.
While the author adheres to principles

The jury, which was brought here from

it has been charged in Church and Prohibition
papers that his murder' was the
result of a conspiracy. Counsel was employed
by the friends of the deceased to
assist the prosecution. Counsel on both
sides said in their speeches that nothing
in the evidence showed any conspiracy
and that it waa merely a personal mattcr
?only a fight between two men in which
one was killed.
