WHERE THE ROSES BLOOM.
A Pretty Little Village Which Furnishes
Flowers to New York Bellies.

Pretty Little Village Which Furnishes
Flowers to New York Bellies.
Most of the roses that New York bellies
wear are raised in the pretty village of
Madison, in New Jersey. Probably more
roses are grown there and sold than
in any other place in the world.
There are S5 enormous green
houses In the town and $50 people are en-
ployed in the cultivation of roses. At least
score of men have grown rich from the
sale of the queen of flowers. On an aver
age 40, 900 cut roses are shipped from Madi-
son to New York every day in the year.
From June to September the shipments
are heavier and are not confined to New
York. Long Branch, Manhattan Beach
and q score of fashionable seaside resorts
take thousands of the roses. The roses
are shipped in small chests, each Sc
cured with a lock and bearing the
growers name. The chests are returned
empty in the evening. Roses picked
late at night are in the hands of wholesale
dealers in New York by 9 o'clock the next
morning. 1t is seldom that the supply of
the early morning is not exhausted soon
after dusk. Those that are not sold are
readily kept until the day after, particularly
in cool weather.

Settled Bill of $50 With 10 Cents and

Kansas City Globe.1
Ben - was one Of the chattiest and
pleasantest newspaper men that ever
welded blue pencil at Kansas City
desk. Ben who? you ask. That cuts no
figure in the story, for it has to deal with
one of his weaknesses, and why mention
names? The weakness was not exactly a
passion for strong drink, for that had be-
come habit, but it consisted in an inabil-
ity to pay for his dozen daily 'fngers."
So mine host CASTOR one day counted up
something like $50 slated against Ben.
He never expected Ben to pay it, and
finally refused to add another scratch to the
long column of figures.
For two days Ben stayed away.
The third day bright aud early Ben
dropped in as clipper as lark and fresh as
a daisy.
"Say, Castor, what'n settle my bill?"
CASTOR wanted to get rid of Ben quickly.
''Ten cents, said he, in disguised tone.
Ben put 10 cents on the bar. CASTOR was
delighted.
"Well, Ben, what are youwaiting for?"
"When man settles his bill isn't it Gus
tomary to set 'em up?"
CASTOR tainted and Ben helped himself.

TYLER, PRESIDENT, ls4l-le45.

John Tyler was born March goth, I7eo.
On President Harrisons death, Tyler as
Vice-President succeeded him. During the
first year of his administration, his vetoes
of two Bankrupt and two United States
Bank bills caused such indignation, that
his entire Cabinet, Webster excepted,
resigned. The Bankrupt Law, which freed
those who failed from obligations to pay
debts, was finally passed in August, IS41.
The other chief events of Tyler's admins
tration were the Ashburton Treaty in 1912,
which settled the boundaries between Maine
and New Brunswick the " Dorr War" in
Rhode Island, a revolt against the old
colonial charter, and an insurrection in New
York against paying the old " PATRON :"
rents also the completion of Morse tele-
graph in 1914, and the admission of Florida
in IS45; but the most important event of
the period was the annexation of Texas,
March I, IS45. At the close of his term of
office, he returned to private life until 1861,
when he was president of a peace conven-
tion at Washington. Failing in his efforts
at compromise, he gave his adhesion to
the Confederate cause, and was member
of the Confederate Congress until his death
at Richmond, January, 1862.

Henry Clay, the Whig candidate. In the
early part of his term of Office the Oregon
boundary was settled by treaty with Great
Britain; but the southwestern border line
between Mexico and Texas was not so
peaceably arranged, and brought on the
Mexican War, which lasted from 1876 to
I640. and was the great event of Folks
administration. Other occurrences were
the conquest of California by Fremont and
Stockton, the discovery of gold in that
country in 184S, and the Wilmot Proviso
Bill which gave rise to a new political
party, the Free Soile,s Notwithstanding
the war, the country was in a prosperous
state commercially. The political troubles
in Europe and distress in Ireland caused an
immense immigration, which contributed to
the settlement of the Western States, of
which two new ones, Iowa and Wiscon-
sin, were admitted during his administra-
tion.
The administration of Mr.. Polk was, per-
haps, the most eventful since the formation
of the republic. A war was successfully

FILLMORE, PRESIDENT, 1850.
1853.

Millard Fillmore was born at Sumner
Hill, New York, January 7, 1900. Like
many other American public men he rose
to the highest position in the government
with no advantages of early education. He
first practiced law, then became Congress
man, and was elected Vice-President in
IS4S. On President Taylor's death, in
1880, he succeeded him as the thirteenth
President of the United States.
During Fillmore's administration oc-
Cured one of the most important events of
the anti-slavery agitation-the passage of
the Fugitive-Slave Law. Other events were
the abolishment of the slave-trade in the
District of Columbia the organization of
the territories of California, New Mexico,
and Utah, from the Mexican land purchases
of IS4S and in 1882 the deaths of Henry
Clay and Daniel Webster. He promoted,
as far as he could, the progress of explora-
ton and discovery at home and abroad. In
1855 he visited Europe, and on his return
in 1856 he was again nominated for the
presidency, but was not returned. After
the expiration OF his term of office he re-
tired to Buffalo where he died in 1874.
St. Paul daily globe., 1889-03-05

Tennessee, under President Lincoln, led to
his election as Vice President in 1864. His
course as President greatly disappointed the
Republican party, and led to the attempt to
remove him from office by impeachment in
1868.
On Christmas.day, 1868, Johnson pro-
claimed entire pardon to every one who had
been concerned in secession, either directly
or indirectly, or had in any way taken part
in the war against the Union. This was his
last important official act. He was sue
ceeded March q, 1869 by General Grant, and
at once repaired to his home in Greenville,
and afterwards unsuccessfully sought to be
Governor of Tennessee and United States
Senator. He died in 1875.
For man with so few early advantages,
which may account somewhat for his mar
rowness and obstinacy, Johnson showed
great ability, courage, and political insight,
and no one ever doubted his honesty.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, PRESIDENT,
l86l-l865.

Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth President of
the United States, was born in Kentucky
February I2, 1909 His grandfather was an
emigrant from Virginia his father a poor
farmer, who in 1906 removed from Ken
lucky to Indiana. In the rude life of the
backwoods Lincolns entire schooling did
not exceed one year, and he was employed
IN the severest agricultural labor By sheer
perseverance and determination he succeed
ed in making himself land-surveyor, law
yer, politician, and President His SIMPLE
ity and honesty endeared him to the hearts
OF the people, and his frmness and prudence
proved him rare leader during the dark
years OF his administration. He was, above
all, good man, with malice toward none,
with charity for all. but with frmness in the
right"
head how sober; a heart how spacious;
manner equal with high or low;
Rough but gentle, uncouth but gracious;
And still inclining to lips of woe.
Patient when saddest. calm when sternest,
Grieved when rigid for justice sake;
Given to jest, yet ever in earnest
If aught of right or truth were at stake.
-BRowNELL.
The war was brought to close April 2,
1865, and Lincoln and Grant were the idols
of the hour. On the morning of the 18th
they were invited to visit Ford's Theatre in
the evening. Grant left the city, but the
President, though not at all inclined, attend
ed with his wife and Major Rathbone and
Miss Harris. They went into private box,
and Lincoln was soon absorbed in the play
('' Our American Cousin y. At 11.so
o'clock the box was suddenly invaded by
John Wilkes Booth, an actor, and furious
pro-slavery man. In an instant he put a
pistol to the back of Lincoln's head and
fired; then leaped from the box to the stage,

the people of South Carolina had ever been
distinguished; but should they be attacked
or menaced, with danger of being seized or
taken from the possession of the United
States, he could not escape from his consti-
tutional obligations to defend and preserve
them"
After the installment of his successor Mr..
Buchanan retired altogether from public
affairs, but year or two after the rebellion
had been put down he published defence
of his administration and the measures he
adopted for the preservation of peace. The
following doggerel was circulated during his
term:
Sing song of Sumter, fort in Charleston Bay,
Eight and-sxty brave men watch there night and
day.
Those brave men to succor, still no aid is sent;
Isn't James Buchanan pretty President
James is in his cabinet doubling and debating;

St. Paul daily globe., 1889-03-05
HARRISON, PRESIDENT, 1s4l.

General VIM. H Harrison, the " Hero
of Tippecanoe," was the ninth President of
the United States. He fought with great
bravery in several Indian wars, but gained
especial fame in 1871, al the battle of Tippe-
canoe This battle was a great victory
over the Indian tribes, who were leagued
together under the famous chief, Tecumseh;
and when Harrison, in a second battle, ter
minated the insurrection, he received the
hearty gratitude of the whole Union.
When he stood for the Presidency in IS4I,
he was known as the Log Cabin Candi-
date" and after the liveliest political cam
paign then known, he was elected by an
overwhelming vote, which showed the most
unlimited confidence in him by the people.
In his inaugural address his views of the
principles of the American government were
fully explained, and his determination to
carry their execution into effect solemnly
expressed. In concluding his address he
said. You will bear with you to your
homes the remembrance of the pledge
have this day given, to discharge all the
high duties of my exalted station according
to the best of my ability and l shall enter
upon their performance with entire conf
dence in the support of just and generous
people"
But these professions, and this system of
policy General Harrison was destined never
to have the opportunity of realizing, for on
the morning of the 4th of April, before he
had delivered to Congress single message,
he expired at Washington.
A sentiment of the profoundest grief per-
vaded every part of the Union on this mel
ancholy occasion. A national fast was pro-
claimed and the affection and respect of
the people were testified by every species
of public demonstration.
