TILLMAN’S FLOWERS. He Supervisee the Planting And Working of Every Seed. (Johnston News.) We have read and heard so much of Senator B. R. Tillman’s flower garden that w , e have for a long time wished for an opportunity to gratify our desire to visit his home and get a glimpse of his home life. Last Fri day our business called us to Tren ton, and having about an hour’s leis ure time we walked out to Senator Tillman’s elegant home. When we reached the gate we found him in his flower yard, where we were informed he may be found at any hour during the day. He greeted us cordially and in reply to our inquiry as to his health, he stated he had fully recover ed from his recent attack of the grippe. The senator’s residence is a large double-story building, with a broad piazza the entire length in front, and is probably three or four hundred yards from the road. There is a grove of large oaks between the road and the flower yard, which is immed iately in front of the residence. Every arrangement about the place presents an air of neatness and refinement, but the flower yard beggars description. There are beautiful walks, hot houses and summer houses, carefully arrang ed, and almost every kind of flower known. The senator personally su pervises the planting and working of every seed, bulb and plant, and his la bors are rewarded with success in this his pet hobby as in everything else he undertakes. The newspapers have painted Sen ator Tillamn iri all kinds of colors, and the cartoonists have pictured him in the most hideous fashions, leading many, perhaps, to belive that he is a regular flre-eater, a Cannibal, or even a “wild man from Borneo.” But to visit him at his home he is a kind, sociable and open-hearted citizen. His love for flowers and his devotion to liis family and friends is proof pos itive that he has a tender heart, foi flow'ers are emblems of love, and on ly one with a tender heart can love flowers as lie does. It is pleasing to see with w’hat care he works around the tenderest sprig, and when h" walks through his yard it seems that every flower nods its head in recogni tion for their nature and growth. Although he has been slandered and maligned more than any puonc man in the State, Senator Tillman’s home-life coupled with his earnest and faithful service to his State class es him among the noblest of noble men, ever ready to open his heart to bis friends and his mouth in defense of the rights of his people. His Snorts. “If members keep on gittin’ indict ed an’ havin’ to stay off the floor,” observed the Squedunk ignoramus, “congress’ll soon be unable to trans act business.” “I dunno as that’ll make such difference to the kentry,” caustically commented the Pohick philosopher. It beats the world how big a little house feels when the babies ar^ away visiting. 8. S. Prooram.
