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.
