HI 3 LIFE WORK.
In the stuuj' o. bank’s life
work one stands amazed not less by Its
extent than by Its variety. He has reach
ed nature, and Is still reaching her, •
through so many channels that one
grows bewildered at the very thought of
the vast import of his work. More than |
this, he has not only reached, but com- >
mauds these channel* completely, while '
still opening others, and others yet again.
Trees and shrubs and vines, the cactll, |
flowers, fruits, grasses, lt matters not I
what, nor whether high or low, so only
that they belong to tl*e plant kingdom.
All these are his subjects, and oCey his
guidance. And this great wizard is not
working for his own gain. He might I
have been a millionaire long ago, but he !
has no wish to turn his genius into gold
to fill his own pockets, rather the con- i
trary. Now and ever, Luther Burbank’s
ono siipereme purpose in life Is the bet- ;
terment of his fellow men. If he Is blcs- ;
sel who makes two blades of grass to ,
grow where but one grew before, liow j
much more is this man blessed who has
already conferred countless creations I
more valuable than grass on his fellows?
Burbank's one great achievement alone, j
the result of ten years of patient effort,
of changing the mighty cactus of the i
plains from a deadly »nenty Into one of
the most valuable friends of man is I
enough in Itself to make his name Im- !
mortal. But ho has done many things ;
more, quite as important as this.
But there are some very queer people :
in this world of ours. While Burbank's ;
reputation as the “Wizard of the Plant |
World” was steadily growing, some of i
these queer people "took notice” of his j
doings. He was the proprietor of a ;

do for her sick, and the soldiers recipro

one occasion, when she left her post for
anomer p t .t.ce. Every man saluted the

At one time si.e was in charge of pi field

were being brought in. Mother Bicker-
dvke. without consulting any one, tore
down the breastworks of the post and

Of the post. He saw its wisdom, buL dis

morning he sought out tiie nurse.
“Mother,” he said, "you must consider
yourselt under arrest.”
“All right, major,” she replied, as she
flew past him with a big bowl of not
drink. “All right. I’m arrested,' but don’t
meddle wiih me until the weather moder
ates, for my men will freeze if you do.”
A negligent surgeon who had been
scolded by Mother Bickerdyke complain

charge.
“Who was your accuser?” asked the
general.
“That spiteful old woman, Mother
Bickerduke."
“O well, if it was she I can’t help) you,’’
was the reply. "She lia^ more power:

Mother was famous for her careful use j
of sanitary stores. Once, suspecting liie j
hospital help of stealing, she “doctored” ,
a lot of stewed peaches with tartar
emetic anj left them on the kitchen table.
In the night tiiere were sounds of severe
suffering. Cooks, table waiters, stewards,
wardmasters and even some of the
surgeons were numbered among tlie vic

In the midst of them, like a Nemesis,
