poorly clad, entered and bought a bottle
Of pcrfumcry, which he sprinklcd owe a
bed of what looked like cut flowers in a
tray he carried upon his arm.
He asked me to buy a bunch. only
five cents" no said. My bouquet con-
sisted of three roses. The white rose
was IL turnip, delicately carved; the vel
low rose was made from q carrot and
tho red one from a beet.
The old mans skill in duplicating
flowers in vegetables was certainly ad'

the illusion complete.-New York Her

women and children-in fact, whole
families"
"Howsor asked the puzzled inspector.

1t is understood that the attorney

in their Interpretation of the law,
and that it is upon his advice they
propose to enforce the law, enjoin the
first private elevator that attempts to
buy wheat, and to bring the constitu-
tionality of the elevator laws to judi
cial determination. But while the
farmers should have a better grading
for North Dakota wheat. we cannot
believe this move to be expedient,
the crop is large and cannot be han

have not the time at this busy season
to put up g~ranaries so as to enable
them to hold their grain in a secure
place. And moreover, if they had
the conveniences for holding the crop
and keeping it from going to waste,
they have immediate needs of money
and must realize from their crop as
soon as threshed or suffer financial en-.
barrassment. The elevator men are
sure to stand out to the end, and If the
commissioners insist on carrying
their present project through, it looks
as though business might suffer and
great deal of wheat be lost for want

rlrtn Avenue STAGES.

1T is just like Paris or London, you
know" was the excited comment Of a
lady seated high up on the roof of &
Fifth avenue stage. And if it isn't
Gust like" this ride up from the Wash
ington arch to Central park is a strong
reminder of London from the Knife
board" and the pleasant hours to be
spent on top of the Partisan buses. In
New York the possession of the roof is
most vigorously contested by ladies.
1t is the vantage ground from which
the visitor to the metropolis gets the
best view of the storied wealth and
grandeur of Fifth avenue. In the cool
of the evening it is where tired shop
girls and their ardent escorts, young
couples arrayed in their best suits of
clothes, take a happy evening out above
the m%addening crowd. Ten cents a pair
goes im1aeasurably further on top of IL
Fifth avenue stage than twice the money
in ice cream. The inside of the stage
may be empty-it usually is in fair
weather as long as n vacant seat re-
mains on top. The seeker after fresh air
and the sights of the streets declines to
ride anywhere else but on the roof.
If four times the number of coaches
were run the roof seats could contain
but u small proportion of those who de-
light to use them at certain hours of the
day. If you desire to enjoy the finest
street of residences in the world from
the most advantageous point of view
you must go down to Washington place
and start with the stage. And right
there is where you occasionally get the
additional treat of a dozen half hysterical
women and shouting young girls scram-
bling up a steep, crooked. 9-inch stair
way for the first time. From that time
you will probably think the abolition of
the old Broadway stage was a mistake,
and that all they needed was a double
row of roof seats to have converted them
into Il iov forever.-New York Herald.

An African Statesman,

The new premier of Cape Colony, Cecil
Rhodes, is attracting marked attention
in England, where he is on a business
visit. His career in South Africa, which
has been of the most romantic and
adventurous, has placed him in the fore
most ranks of Anglo-African notability.
Within u few years he has achieved the
reputation of a statesman; the title of
"The Diamond King" and is generally
accepted as the leader of men in Africa.
He is II of those who believe in settling
the Mashonaland troubles with the ma
tives i'll a peaceful manner, and if the
latter are not disposed that way to use
force, and he talks like a man who would
be a%bundantly able to bring about an
arrangement either way. In appearance
he is much older than lie really is, and
physically seems the embodiment of quiet
force. He is not prone to conversation,
but when so engaged is always inter-
esting, from the fact that he never talks
but on subjects with which he is thor
oughly familiar. -Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Dickinson press., 1891-05-23

LastyearWe ingarten a town of the Ger
man kingdom, Wurtemburg, celebrated
the eight hundredth anniversary of the
possession Of a drop of Christ's blood.
Eight hundred years ago the precious
relic was presented to the Benedictine alb
hey of that place by the Duchess Judith,
daughter of Duke Baldwin, of Flanders
Throughthis long period of time the YES
sci containing the blood has been keptin
the church connected with the monas-
terry, excepting war times, when it had
to he hid at more safe places. Though the
B%enedictine monks were expelled long
ago and the monastery converted at the
first into an orphan asylum, then into
military barracks, the church with its
valuable treasure was left untouched.
Today the blood may be seen as fresh
and uninjured as that of q living man.
Each year, on the Friday after the
Feast of the Ascension, it is carried
around in solemn procession. The priest
who carries the vessel rides on horseback,
followed by more than a thousand like
wise on horseback, not counting the
crowds that follow the procession on foot.
In the year 1918 there were employed
1866 horses. For this occasion pilgrims
came from all the neighboring countries.
Never, however, was there such splendor
exhibited as last year, the eight hun
dredth anniversary. The procession
lasted two hours. All those on horse
back were dressed according to the fash
ion of the Eleventh and Twelfth cent
uries. The evening before the town was

A Boys Odd Misfortune.

The curious formation OH the body of
the little t~hree-year-old boy Of John
Rock, of Rice's landing, Of which so
much has been said, caused the death of
the child at last. In August last the boy
was playing in the yard, when lie fell
down. He cried a good deal and seemed
to suffer. Little attention was paid to
it, however, until a few days later a
strange lump was discovered on his alb
domen. 1t grew to an enormous size
and physicians declared an operation
meant death.
The boy would eat scarcely anything,
though he almost constantly asked for
food. When not watched he would cat
ashes and other hard substances. On
Wednesday he asked his mother for a
piece Of cake, and three minutes after he
was dead. When the growth was re-
moved it weighed seven and a half
pounds, and it was found it had COM
pletely surrounded the kidneys and
grown fast to the body. Its size caused
it to interfere with the action of the
heart, causing death. The lump is said
to be a puzzle to physicians, who say it
resembles no humorous growth they ever
encountered.-Greene County Demo
