a Marvellous Stage Ride

One Of the darkest. coolest, rainicst
nights OF the past month, an adventure oc-
Cured in ncighboring county which de-.
serves TO be perpctuated among the rt-
markablc episodes of stage travelling. The
lady and gentleman who were prominent
actors in the almost tragedy were recently
at the Morris House, and the story is in no
manner exaggerated Or overwrought. This
couple were tho sole occupants of the ntc-
rlor OF the stage on the night in question,
and were sitting silently mulled up wish
ing tor morning TO dawn. The hack was
drawn by two horses that were quite res.
tive and high-spiritcd, though the drowsy
passengers gave little heed to this fact until
attcrward. The night was so drcadfully
dark that it was almost impossible to keep
in the road, and the stage was finally
brought to an abrupt halt by one of the
wheels striking against stump. Tho
gentleman partially undid the ropes in
which he was mufilcd, and asked the driver

are related in Washington. The great

This Is plant that the lovers Of flowers
are now just beginning to appreciate. l.:
IS q perennial. and Il continual bloomcr,
giving us more flowers and u greater varie-
ty of colors than any plant we know of.
No plant could be more easily cultivated or
propagalcd 1t grows from slips or cut
lings as readily as sweet potato, and in
the lower States when once set 1t Is there
forever Frost bites the top down in the
fall, but early In spring the shoots start up
again and commence blooming at once. 1t
starts up in widcsprcadmg bunche, and
grows with such rapldity that by fall the
lunches, ii not cut back, Will in fair soil
have attained diameter of six or eight
feet, rounded up to height in the middle
Of from four TO five feet. And throughout
the season every part Of the bunch is liter
ally covered with flowers. The flowers are
produced on the ends of the numerous
branchlcts III verbena like trusscs, from
one to two inches III diameter. They are
i'll color usually yellow, orange, scarlet,
crimson, pink or white, and they present a
special interest III the fact that several
shades Of color are always to be found in
the same truss, due to their change in shade
on exposure TO the atmosphere. For in e.
stance, the flower that opens this morning
arch orange will most likely have changed
to bright scarlet or crimson by to- o-morrow
morning. The foliage Of the lantana Is of
dark glossy green color; the stems arc
angular and somewhat prickly; the leaves
are prodncch in pairs, opposite, ovatc,
acuminatc, rougAsh, deeply vcined, with
the edges finely serra.ed, aud possessing a
peculiar odor. 1t is a fine plant for cen
trc or background in the flower border,
presenting pleasing effect when planted
in colors. Single specimens, when plant
ed out on the lawn, contrast finely with
the green grass-its compact trusscs Of
II ,wcrs showing to great advantage
Though naturally inclined to grow in
punches, 1T may, nevertheless, bc trimmed
into tree form and thus converted into a
most b, autlful object for the lawn where
such forms are required

He Didn't Want TO BUY.

Looking at the twin "bcfOfe' and CATER"
pictures on the bottle, the bald headed old
gentleman asked, "Is that the way 1t al
ways works ?" "Always," said the clerk.
"Produccs hair on the smoothest head 2"
eyes," said the clerk, ''produccs a most
luxurlant growth Of hair IN six weeks or
money refunded. Never was known 20

half of bottles. How many will you havc2"
"Young man, don't ask me to take any
more bottles. The last one l took home
has ruined my peace of mind and brought
dcsolation to my home. My wife thought
1t was bay rum or something or other for
the complexion, and she's just worried to
death now that she's found out what it will
do, and spends half her time at the mirror
watching for the first prcmonitions of the
luxuriant full beard that is to hide her
beauty forever. No young man l don't
want any more OF it. And to tell you the
TRUTH" he added in stage whisper, "lt
wouldn't be of any use. She is that mad
that she pulls out my hair as fast as 1t
grows. Look at my bald head, now. The
clerk looked, and had not the heart to say
more, but put the bottle away and advised
the old gentleman TO present his wife with
y razor and flxlngs.

Tho Man ut the Windsor.

While riding up town the other day in a
Fifth Avenue stage, New York, rep ortcr
met an acquaintance who Is q frcquentcr Of
races during the season, and far Judge
of horse.
'Anythlng new Z" inquired the reporter.
81 have just heard Of Il trick in horse
selling that think should be shown ND in
the newspapers.
What is the dodgc2"
"Aly uncle, who considers himself pretty
sharp, came down from the country to buy
trottcr. Without taking any one into his
confidence he started OF alone to make u
purchase. He met with several queer cx-
pcricnces, one of which, being new to me,
is best described as follows:
''A stranger enters sales stable and cx-
plains what sort of horse he desires. AT
ter two or three ordinary animals are shown
up, an apparently likely horse is brought
out with considerable flourish. There )
says the seller, 'ls the offer for you. You'll
never take anybody's dust behind that fcl-
low. The fact is | sold him to city man
recently, and allowed him to try the horse
ON the road. l knew the man had pl enty
Of money, and thought he could manage u
trottcr. In about three hours afterward
negro brought the horse back, with the
harness and cutter all knocked to pieces.
lie SAID man who was little Off had
given him IS TO bring the horse around, and
say that he would Call and pay for him.
But, continues the seller, 'hc can't have
the animal at any price; III never sell
good horse to a man that can't talto proper
care OF him. You can have him for 5000
less than he promised me-
"Whilc they are dickering about tho
animal in walks well.drcscd man, saying
III rather blu teIing manner Il have
come to pay for that horse l bought recent
ly,' at the same time displaying large
roll of money. You can't have him. re-
piled the slablcman. 'Why2' Because
you damaged my property, and don't know
how u use horse. Besides, / have sold
him 10 this gentleman
"Afier a quarrel III which the city man
swcars that he will have the horse at any
price, and tho seller is equally emphatic in
declaring that the horse is sold, the city
man sidcs up to the stranger, whispering,
I'll get the best Of him any way. You
