PEOPLE AND FLOWERS.

We are apt to have queer ideas,
Come into these minds Of ours
One came to me quite recently,
How people resemble flowers.
Perhaps the thought is a strange one,
That, with the flowers so fair.
So beautiful, lovely and fragrant
We mortals can compare.
l For instance, there are the Touch.me -nots,
I Quite pretty will own,
Do well enough to look at,
But they want to be let alone.
1--WE find them in the parlor,
And at the picnic in the grove;
Sometimes think they'll want room
Set apart for themselves above.
Then we have the Mignonette
In the hospital ward found her,
Not keeping her sweetness all to herself,
But giving to those around her.
a helping hand, a winning smile,
A gentle, loving word,
Low spoken, in a whisper
Yet by the angels heard.
We also have the Pitcher Plants,
Which we find the wide world DER.
Who, like the famous Oliver Twist,
Hold up their cup for more.
More houses land, more money,
And, may be forgiven,
think they'll want, have they chance,
More happiness in Heaven.
In the wood we find the Arbutus,
With its blossoms pink and white,
Growing in rich profusion,
Making dark places bright,
Among people we find the same flower,
A person with pleasant face.
Bringing in glimpses of sunshine,
To brighten gloomy place.
Some, like the Virginia Creeper,
Their way into wrong places grope ;
Such net a strong arm to protect them,
As the Ivy, that cllngs to the oak.
We've the violets, daises and lilies,
The myrtle and William, Sweet,
Gilded buttercups in the meadow,
Aud those we pass by on the street.
In our garden, we see the bright roses,
Their perfume filling the air.
In our village we see the sweet rosebuds'
They will some day be blossoms fair
And think as we pass on our journey
Through life, journey so brief
We ought to be more like the flowers,
And less like faded leaf,

THE sILCoTT DEFALCATIOM
1t Turns Out that He is n ForGer snd May
BE Extradlted. :

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Mr. Leedom has
been gathering some additional facts bearing
on the defalcation OF Cashier Sllcott. There
has been much speculation as to why Silcott
took up a number of notes at the National
METROPOLITAN Bank last week Just before he
disappeared. Mr.. Leedom has just secured an
explanation, which is to the effect that the
cashier forged the names OF members OF the
House and other persons to no less than thirty
five notes. aggregating $14,500. and it was
these notes which he took up on Nov. a. 1t is
Mr.. Leedom's theory that Sllcott's object in
paying out this large sum OF money. which he
might Just as we'll have carried of. was to avoid
extradition.
After examining Mr.. Ballantyne, the paying
teller of the Sergeant. alarms Office. as to
the method of doing business in the Office. the
special committee OF Investigation to-day
turned its attention TO that branch OF the
question. Careful examination will be made
ofthe banks record OF the notes. and it is the
opinion Of several members OF the committee
who have some legal reputation. that If they
turn out to have been forged. then Silcott may
still be extradited, providing sufficient proof
upon that point ls obtninable. notwithstandin ing

1t came out yesterday. from source that
cannot be questioned. that the man at whom
the Ohio ballot-box iorgeries were really
aimed was Ben Butterworth. the Cincinnati
Congressman. and especial enemy OF Gov.
Foraker. Sherman aud Mckinley were included
to make the Job complete. but Butterworth
was the man 1t was specially intended for. 1t
is said that this statement will be amply
proven when the complete story Of the case

publicly known to indicate that any particular

victim.
