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 ; nursery at one time, as noted in a pro nd wo shall need to de performed the | tain you.” charm of “woven paces and of waving | "Oh, auntie, auntie!” wept Elizabeth arms,” and he slept, "lost to life and I when they were safely alone, “there was . , .. . . use and name and lame” |il s P e H upon him, as you say, there in I vious article, and then his income was i “When he opens Ids eves,” said she,;* 1 . 1 - east roonl > bul the ®P? n * hat took increasing all the while because he was '"he will know nothing, think nothing, do j™* Xtmed and hSSnl'&T < h ° nCSt and rCllaWe ’ ^ 116 “ ad no.hiug. except what I suggest.” and robbed of all I have to live for!

There was nothing site would not do for her sick, and the soldiers recipro cated her affection heartily. "We shall all die now, ’ they said, dolefully, on one occasion, when she left her post for anomer p t .t.ce. Every man saluted the homely figure, clad in calico and wearing a Shaker 'con net. Mother, however, was no mild-man nered saint. Sue dearly loved her own way, attj she usually got it. She hau a suhiime disregara tor red tape which sometimes earned Iter into trouo.e. At one time si.e was in charge of pi field hospHhii which was uornbly co.U. it was night, and woonue-, haif-trozen men were being brought in.

He saw its wisdom, buL dis cipline had to he maintained, and in tne 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 ed to General Sherman of an unjust dis 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: than I. She outranks me.” 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 tims. In the midst of them, like a Nemesis, walked Aiother Bickerdyke. "Peaches don't seem to agree with you,” she re marked grimly. In later years Mother Bickerdyke at- ten’ed the soldiers' convention .held at Topeka. When she entered the 'building a great shout greoted her. In va'fip order was called. “Mother Bickerdyke is here!” cried the soldiers, crowding about her. Gray headed men kissel her, weeping, while the tears ran down her cheeks. The “boys” site had tended were eager to make her a gift, but the good old lady refused. “They have all they can do to make a living for themselves,” she said. As long as she lived tills old army nurse was remembered by the grateful hundreds site had cared for, and frequent litters and gifts from them cheered her old ago. 0 The Editor Tells You Today of an Opportunity to Beautify Your Home Free of Charge.
