A Sneezing Time.

When Gallagher packed away his fur
moths should not destroy it, SO he put
about four pounds of pepper into it.
When that cold morning struck US, he
got the coat out in hurry and, without
to brush it, put it on and
skipped for q horse-car. In he jumped
and sat down. As he went down, out
iufied little lot of pepper and he in
hailed it. The pepper made him snceze.
The CONFUSION OF sneezing agitated
the coat further. and the pepper kept
comm up on him. So. instead of
stopping sueezing, he sneezed harder.
He sneezed so hard that he attracted
general attention. He eye filled with
tears. Every sneeze made things
worse. He gasped TOR wrath and tried
to stop, but could not. People didn't
under. tana it. and thought the man
would die. A benevolent gentleman
went to the rescue. He patted Gala
gher's back, and little ilutf of pepper
arose to him. Katchoo! He was sneez-
ing, too. And his effort had SO spread
the pepper that not only did Gallagher

laher began to sfleeze. The violence
of Gallaghers sneezine meantime in
creased. He shook 40 that the pepper
came out of the coat In a cloud. Soon
everybody in the car was sneezing.
''What -catchoo-sOrto of a-catchoo-
man are you?" asked one man of Gal
lagher. But the latter could not reply.
The thing was getting serious. The
conductor came in 10 rectify matters.
but he got to sneez ng, too, and could
do nothing. Some Of the passengers
were furious at Gallagher. Two of them
attempted to put him out of the car.
They cl,nched him. OF course the
more they shook him the worse things
got. Everybody in the Car was sht d.
ding tears and sneezing frightfully.
CONSERVATION prevailed. Finally some
body made brel TX for the door. They
all fled, all but Gallagher. and the men
fighting him. Finally they were got
on, and Gallaher arose to get out. The
Car had been stopped. Those who had
got out had recovered from their par.
oxy SINS and wanted to lick Gallagher.
But as they started for him, the thought
struck them that they get to sneezing
again If they meddled with him. So
they let him go. And he went home
and was So mad at the coat, he took it
off and sailed in to kick it and got into
another sneezing tit that lasted fifteen
minutes. Boston Post.

newfoundland Front Yards.

There might be written q history of
front yards in New England which
would be very interesting to read. 1t
would end in q treatise upon landscape
gardening and its possibilities. and
wild fights of imagination about the
culture of plants under glass. the ap-
plication of artificial heat in forcing.
and the curious mingling and develop

in the simple time of the early colonists.
It must have been hard when, after
being familiar with the gardens and
parks of England and Holland, they
found themselves restricted to front
Yards by way of pleasure-gr0unds.
Perhaps they thought such things were
wrong, and that having apleasant place
to walk about in out-of-doors would en-
