work last Sunday morning in subduing
the FIRE in DR.. Pratts and W. n. Dor

closed down the pumping station aud Lad

works, and before the head of steam
could be raised sufficient after his arrival,
the water in the boiler had to be blown
down. Tile fire started at us a m aud
IN four minutes after the stream was
turned on, not a blaze was to be seen.
DR.. Pratt lost tie remaining part OF his
stable and shed which were saved from
the fire IN March, and the old stable occu-

down by water and burned up together.

CARNATIONS WILL REIGN.

Glory.

I
Tho Frail Chrysanthemum May Lose It's
| Glory.
The short-lived chrysanthemuIn is
likely to be ousted from the high posi-
ton it now occupies in public favor
by the carnation, which blooms the
year round While it probably never
will be possible to make so large and
gorgeous display it is possible to bring
the carnation to such degree of per-
lection as will entitle it to foremost
place.
With this end in view, says the Phila-
delphia record, the national carnation
society was organized in this city, prin-
cipally through the efforts of Edwin
Lonsdale, of Wyndmoor, on the Read
ing railroad. Mr.. Lonsdale was elected
president, and c. J. Pennock, of Ken
beth square, secretary. The society
has for its object the propagation and
development of the finest varieties of
the carnation through the individual eff
forts of its members, who are numb ered
by the thousands throughout the entire
country. New seedlings are being pro-
duced every year by hybridizing, and
society to see that these are properly
classified. 1t is the purpose also of the
society to taboo all varieties of inferior
quality. The ideal carnation of the fu-
ture will be about four inches in diane
ter, and must possess the two all import
ant qualities of stiffness of stem and
clearness of color.
The possibilities of increasing the
varieties of the carnation by blending
and ny FERTILIZATION arc very encouraging,
as a prominent florist said yesterday.
There are already over two hundred
varieties in existence, several of which
have been held in popular esteem year
after year.
The crimson king" as the name i'm
plies, is of dark red color. 1t has al
ways been favoIite, although of late
years the popular taste runs more to
the pink varieties, of which there are
many of great merit. The 'Grace
Wilder" probably holds the palm among
5he pinl1s. Among the whites the
lonors are evenly divided between the
'Hinzie" and the Puritan" The ''But-
lercup" is the yellow par excellence. |
several new pink seedlings were
brought out this year, and all possess
merit particularly the Mrs. Colhesh,"

STOLE HALF A MILLION.

| How Cashier Increased His PecGfations
and Got OF Free.
THE recent theft in the treasury de-
partment." said one of the post office
inspectors to Washington Post re-
porter, ''recalls to my mind an occur
renee in Boston several years ago. 1t
is a true story and illustrates the differ

who appropriates millions.
There was in Boston at the time of

began stealing from the bank, covering
up his thefts by his methods of handling

came suspicious, and quiet investiga-
ton was set under way.
''The cashier, foreseeing that he

upon his attorney and told him all the
circumstances. The attorney asked
if he was still in his position and
trusted with the funds, and when in
formed that he was gave this advice:

force them to terms. Go to the bank and
take out all the money you can and

pubic knows nothing about it.
Now l happen to know the result of
this identical case. That cashier did
take five hundred thousand dollars

money and save the bank from loss.

JUST The SAME.


Be to my faults trife blind''-Old Sayin
My darling, If your silken hair
Were just trifle red,
And should those small beslippered feet
Fail in their nimble tread
And make you walk with tagging pace
Or cen trife lame,
would not cure single bit,
But love you just the same.
And II, my dear those pearly teeth
Were not of natures own,
But purchased at some dental shop,
And hard as any stone
Remember, age takes all we prize,
And if deprived of such
I'd be to those trifie blind,
And love you just as much
All, If those lovely eyes of yours
Were not Of deepest blue,
I'd know full well that in their depths
Loves light burned warm and true;
And even if one stellar orb
Was made OF pure glass,
would not care u fig, my DEAR Isl
But let that item pass.
But II that little nose OF yours
We're slightly out of joint
OF course 'twould worry me a bit,
But that is not the point;
If you were SO unfortunate
From all your charms to part,
still would love you just the same
only want your heart.

A MAsTIFf.s JEALOUSY.
He Kills Pet Fawn Which Wanted to
Roam Away.

Elias Shaw of Racket creek, caught
doe fawn on North mountain early in
| the summer, says a Scranton cores
pendent of the New York Sun. He took
her home, made a pet of her; and
named her Fannie. Mr.. Shaw's mas
tiff, Teaser, took great fancy to the
fawn from the start. He soon became
very much attached to her, and she to
him. BY the middle of the summer
Teaser and Fannie were inseparable
companions. The dog looked after the
fawn with great care, protected her
from other dogs, and appeared to be
jealous when anyone fondled her.
They roamed over the farm together,
and the dog wouldn't allow Fannie to
get out of his sight. BY her actions the
fawn showed that she was pleased with
the dogs attentions, and she frequently
licked him on the head and capered
with him in the yard. Along in the fall
the fawn got in the notion of wandetS
ing away to the woods. The dog coaxed
her back number of times, seeming to
fear that something might happen to
her if she went far from the farm build
ings. After awhile Fannie got 50 Chat
she didn't like to be restrained of her
freedom by the dog. She was deter
mined to go to the woods, and when
Teaser found that he couldn't coax her
any more he headed her off and drove
her back to the house every time she
started for the forest. One afternoon
last week Mr.. Shaw missed the fawn
AID dog for several hours. He was
about to send the boys in search of
them when Teaser returned to the
house without Fannie. His face was
covered with blood, and he whined and
made Il great fuss. "Teaser where's

had lost his best friend. Mr.. Shaw
