DoCToRs DIsAGREEING.--Th Chicago
Tribune says: A gentleman living on
West Fort street recently employed a
gardener to trim up shade-tree little.
The gardener had just commenced work,
when lawyer passed by and remarked:
Do you want to kill that tree? If
you don't you had better let it alone for
at least two weeks longer"
The gardener fixed his ladder and put
the saw into limb, and doctor came
along and said
" You'll kill that tree stone-dead if
you cut limb off! You ought to have
pruned it three weeks ago."
The gardener had severed two or three
limbs, when banker halted under the
tree and exclaimed
:" Are you insane You shouldn't
touch that tree till June, when the sap
is warm Any fool could tell you bet
ter than to trim it now
The gardener expected such express
sions to be hurled at him, and he kept
at his work without needing them. Pref
ty soon clergyman sauntered up, salu-
ted the tree-trimmer with a pleasant
good morning" and added that it
made his heart glad to see a man trim
ming trees in the right season. He said
that the first few days of May were really
the only days in the whole year, when
limbs could safely be Topped.

The Teeth of Americans.

An Englishman, named Chas. A. Cole,
has recently written book about Amer
lea, in which is found, among other par
agraphs, the following: "Two or three
dentists may be found in village OF less
than 800 inhabitants. The very common
consumption of candies and lolllpops by
grown up women leads to frequent at
tendance on the dentist, and the younger
male and female children soon begin to
follow the fashion of their elders. Com

River railroad in drawing-room car

handsome grown up girls, three were
filling up the pauses in reading serials or
newspapers by sucking sticks OF candy,
with open and undisguised satisfaction.
The candy shops in New York are a
marked feature in the streets, more so
than in Paris, Vienna, or Milan there
are many at which candies and sugar
stuff, chocolate bon bons, and their va
rieties are alone obtainable. Nothing
else is sold in the stores. At the coun-

I0ng Senatorial Terms.

Of those who have had great length OF
service in the Senate, Thomas IL. Benton
heads the list. He was member OF the
Senate for thirty years, and no other
United States Senator served there Tor
four full terms. Charles Sumner had
four continuous elections, but died
within less than year of the close OF his
fourth term-chosen In 1851, and dying
March IL, 1874. James A. Pearce, of
Maryland, had four successive elections,
but died soon after the commencement
of his last term-chosen in 1843, and
dying December 90, 1862. Daniel Web
ster had four continuous elections, 1927,
1888, 1889 and 1916, but there was
break in the last two terms, when he was
in the Harrison and Fillmore Cabinets
1841 and 1850. Henry Clay had five ap-
pointments to the Senate, the first two
by gubernational selection, 1906 and
1910, and the rest from the Legislature
1881, 1887, 1849. He resigned near
the close of his second full term, and,
after serving three years of his last, ten
dered his resignation, but died, June 49,
1852, before the date named for its taking
effect. John G. Calhoun was fifty years
of age before he was sent to the Senate,
to which he had five elections. He had
been in the lower house of Congress for
six years, Secretary of War for eight
years, and Vice-president for nearly
eight years. He was elected to the Sen
ate in December, 1882, as the successor
of Robert Y. Hayne, reelected in 1885
and in 1641, resigned i'll 1912, and sub
sequently went into the Tyler Cabinet
as Secretary of State. Senator Huger
resigned in 1645 to make way for Cal
houn, who reappeared and served out
his original term; he was reelected in
1847, and continued there until his
death, March 81, 1850.

Perils of House Cleaning.

An Iowa correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune writes
GA clergyman in Corning, the other
day, joined in marriage hlghly-estlma
BILE couple. The statutes of this State
REQUIRE the officiating marrier to make
return of the same to the clerk OF the
circuit court within q certain date
thereafter, under penalty of fine OF
$50. The certificate was made out, and
laid aside for a more convenient season
to be fled In the court. In the mean
time, the preachers wife was seized with
housekeeping fever. When it had sub
sided, the certificate could not be found
it having probably gone into the stove
with waste paper and rejected sermons.
Here was dilemma the recorded GER
tifcate is the only record evidence OF
marriages. To be sure, the preacher
might remarry the couple but would
the second marriage certificate, under
it's date, cover contingencies which
might arise? And here let me say that the
time is coming when the litigation In
this State which will arise in conse-
quence of neglect of persons solemn1z-
ing marriages, mostly ministers. will be
heavy and expensive. In every such
case, the rights of heirs to estates are IN
volved. Unless the certificate is re-
turned and recorded, no official record
of the marriage exists, and the marriage
can only be proven by living witnesses,
which will not be easily done a few years
after the marriage. There is probably
not county in the State where scores,
and even hundreds of marriages and es-
tates are not imperiled by this neglect !;
and so important violation of duty
should call for the enforcement OF the
full penalty upon each delinquent and,
further, persons getting married should
see to it that their certificate is returned
to the court clerk, or know the reason
why"

Just listen to this:
When the old mill took fire, and the flooring feu

And with 1t helpless, there full In my view,
What do you think my eyes saw through the nre,
That crept along, crept along, higher ana nlgner,
But Robic, my baby boy, laughing to see
The shining? He must have come there after me,
Toddied alone from the cottage without
Amy one's missing him. Then, what shout
OIL how shouted, 80 For heavens sake, men,
Save little Robin! I" Again and again
They tried, 3ut the fire held them back like WALL

We're com ing to get you as last as we CAN
They could not see him, but could; ne sat
Still on a beam, his little straw hat
Carefully placed by big side, ana nd ms eyes
Stared at the flames with babys surprise.

The roar of the fire up above must have kept
THE sound of his mothers voice shrieking his name
From reaching the child. But heard it. 1t came
Again and again-O God, what cry!
The axes went faster, saw the sparks fly
Where the men worked like tigers, nor minded the

That scorched them-when suddenly there at their

Jumped to get out of the way-and thought:

The sight of the child there, when, swift at my

Some one rushed by, and went right through JIG

Straight as dart--caught the child-and then came
Back with him-choking and cry1ng-but-sa !
Saved safe ana sound!
Oh how the men rayed,
Shouted and cried, and hurrahed! Then they all
flushed at the work again, lest the back wall
Where j was lying, away from the ire,
Should fall in and bury me-

To see Robin now-he's as bright as dime,
Deep in some mischief too, most of the time;

A Maine l,enfenarian.

John Charles La Mort, notwithstand-
ing his ominous name, is pronounced the
most wonderful man in the United
States. He lives at Fort Kent. In Maine,
and was born in Canada in 1869, the
same year which gave birth to Napoleon
Bonaparte, and the Duke OF Wellington.
Mr.. La Mort has had twenty-three chill
dren. He is great-great-great grand
father, and the head of seven genera
tons now living. The old mans health
is good, his hair is not white, and his
teeth are still In his head. He has al
ways been an inveterate user of tobacco.
Last year he walked fifteen miles at one
stretch. The secret of this long life has
been cheerfulness.

of the State of Vermont S., 900 each Tor

and when he went to pay up she was not
in, and, as they beth soon left town, ne
failed to hand her the money. She was
afterward married, had son, and pc
came a widow, and he went through q
long business experience, becoming
wealthy. One day, in 1869, she received

What the Chicago Hotels Do and Are

A reporter recently visited fifteen OF
the leading Chicago hotels in search Of
statistical information that would prove
of interest to the general reader and show
how closely identified with the growth
and prosperity of Chicago their hotel
interests were. In his rambles fifteen Of
the one hundred and seventeen hotels
were visited, and from information
CLEANED from the proprietors the follow
ing figures are produced. The hotels OF
this city occupy ground valued at 3d.
500, 900, the cost of the buildings aggre-
gates 100000, the furnishing of the
same $2,500,000.
The fifteen hotels contain nearl y 4,OOO
rooms; and will in case OF emergency
accommodate nearly double that number
of guests, without resorting to scots.
In the course of year these hotels are
visited by 400, 900 transient persons, and
these persons, aside from mercantile pur-
chases, expend, at least, $40 each, or
So, 00O,0 900. These hotels employ $50 fe-
male servants and 478 male servants,
making a total of zoos, who receive in
a total some $35, 900 in salaries.
These hotels consume annually l,2OO,-
600 pounds of fresh meat, 270, 900 pounds
of salt meat, 225, 900 pounds of fish, TO-
400 pounds of tea, 100000 pounds OF
coffee, $50, 200 pounds Of sugar, 100000
pounds of flour. The total amount ex-
pended annually in the stewards line Is
$8O0,000. They, combined, burn 4, 6OO,-
900 cubic feet of gas yearly, and con-
sumo Is, 900 tons of coal In the same
