DESTROYS GOOD FLOWERS hi
MISTAKE
_
Soon after Marietta follow
for the summer vacation in ls91. Mrs.
Ewing, in whose good home three
other students mi l myself stayed, left
on a trip to northern Ohio. The
students also went avvav leaving Mr.
Ewing, a man of advanced years, ml
myself to keep the house.
To say that we had a nice time to
gethcr is but a faint espressKoi <>
that experience. Mr. Ewing did the
cooking, and lie left the general lions,
work for me to do. While Mrs. Ewing
was at. home we had chicken on the
table once in a very long while; lot
when her husband was at the hea l of
the cooking department we had it
once in three days.
There were other duties assigned me
besides sweeping, bed-making, dish
washing etc. One task was to keep
the flower beds in the yard in good
order, keep them free fre •
Now I confess that flow.; s wer t
me at that time all flowers, and what
ever did not give the appearance of
a flower was a weed. The flow s
were to be kept and watered regular
ly, the weeds pulled and thrown a
way.
One morning after breakfast and
the chores were done, T went out on
the usual flower-bed inspection. To
my surprise a lot of weed- were com
ing up from one of the beds. They
were already threiv four and five
inches high. What else cotl.i 1 do 1 ‘
to perform my duty faithfully. So
one by one the weeds were rooted up
and thrown over the fence into tin
alley. -
That noon on my return from the
college buildings Mr. Ewing was in
a raging temper. He said that some
one in our absence had rol l • i some
of Mrs. Ewing’s most rare and val
uable flowers which he had planted
out only the afternoon before. “I am
going to look into this.” he said,
“and if ever the rui.r or is caught he
should be given a good whii ; lug, be- j
sides spending some time in jail”, i
On further inquiry the matter was {
all clear to me and how my heart was I
beating. But I would not cross the !
kindhearted 1 ut indignant friend right
there and then, so T wait, 1 i util lie
cooled off later in the day when the !
facts of the case were made known ,
to him. We feil into a hearty laugh
that greatly aided our i'gedion at
supper.
The situation was this, there were !
some flowers 'n a nu nl.ee of pots f.j j
the house that Mrs. Ewing considered 1
very valuable, and over which hei j
husband had care. Ti were to be
planted out in the gar,Tor at cer
tain time, and this was dor.e vvlflhm:
in) knowledge. The plants that morn- j
i'ig lookc-Tl like weeds to me, hence
the action on them. Why didn't 1
stop to think that weeds could not
griw five inches within twelve hours,
and grow in very neat and orderly
r< ws that they did? I have learned
a little better about flowers since
then. In other words, I have learned, !
or am trying to learn, not to jump
too quickly at conclusions.

DETAILS OF TRAGEDY

•—Continued from Page One—
home of Frank K. Leslie, hostler

fur a glass of water and told what he
I done. Gogaff looked so wild, and
i ilked >o rapidly and disconnectedly

to what he said. Before leaving he
told Leslie there was one more man he
a d to get Mike Senit, or “Fight
: ■_ Mike,” as he is known around
\\ liit,'horse , and asked where 1 e
could find him. Leslie told Gogaff
■ t Son it was working on one of the
river boats and was then somewhere
'. an stream. Gogaff became enrag
■ •<1 at the information, and slamming
the butt of his rifle down on the
floor began cursing furiously.
Leaving Leslie’s, Gogaff went down
