his grandmother brought home seed cat
alogue-one of those gorgeously illustrated
pamphlets which tempt the rural and vii
lage housewife.
Phillie (his baptismal name is Phillips)
fell on it with ardor. He read every line
of it again and again, and soon the family
was amazed by discovering that he knew
the name OF every flower pictured in it,
and could repeat page after page verbatim.
They got him a copy of "Gray's School and
Field Book" and he mastered every detail
Of that. Then people began to send him
curious plants and flowers, and he cult
waited them successfully and learned all
their botanical details. In 1888, when but
eight years old, he gained a small prize at
the exhibition of the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural society for pot of Golden Ever
lasting"
He has since taken prizes for selections
of wild flowers, Seeding geraniums and
dew plants and other products. His great
est achievement perhaps was the collection
last year of 100 native plants and flowers
from the byways of RoXbury, with their
description and classification complete. He
is withal healthy and well developed for
his age, with the native vivacity of the
Yankee boy, fond of sport and open air life
and not at all inclined to the sentimental
or bookworm habit. He gives the popular
and scientific names of his plants without
appearance of pedantry and in all other
things is as 5oyish as could be wish1tS..

MORGANS AT THE WORLDS CO.
lumbar EXPOSITION.
SPECIAL CLASS CREATED FOR THE
GREAT ROADSTER FAMILY.

At the solicitation of the admirers and
friends of the Morgans throughout the
country, Hon. w. |. Buchanan has an
nounced that the Morgan family of hors-
es will be permitted to compete for
premiums at the great Exposition at
Chicago next summer as distinct fam
lily. This was not in contemplation at the
beginning, and Col. Spencer Borden of
Fall River was probably the first to call
attention to the omission. His sugges-
ton was very warmly Endorsed by many
influential gentlemen, who very proper
ly, insisted that this great distinctive
American family of horses ought not to
be ignored. The matter received prompt
consideration, and now Mr.. Buchanan,
who is chief of the live stock depart
ment. has announced the decision Great
ing special class for Morgans, to the
successful ones among which liberal
premiums will be awarded.
There will be delegations from many
different States, and Nermonters cannot
be too early in preparing for an exhibit
from the old home of the family that
shall be credit to the family and an
honor to the State. The first volume of
the Morgan Register will be out before
the exposition. The exhibit promises to
be large and of the highest excellence.
1t seems an suspicious occasion to launch
the great family on new tide of pros
perity and success.

Dear Sir Having been out of sorts
for the last two weeks | have neglected
in answering yours as soon as | other
wise should. In 1850 | was in partner
ship with my brother-n-law and nv
brother in distiling and dry goods. /
having been farmer, they thought
knew more about horses, cattle, hogs
and sheep than they did, so it fell on me
to look after the distilery. | bought
Dolly Spanker in southern Pennsylvania
in the year $50. My brother sold Dolly
Spanker to ). j. Lewis for j. S. King in
Geneva; it was price that would not
have bought her of me, for | knew too
well of her speed, which my brother did
not.
Dolly Spanker was brown mare, be-
tween light and very dark brown, with
black name and tail she had fine points
and was splendid driver; she stood
fully fifteen hands three inches. Her
pedigree ! did not ask, and | do not
think asked the mans name.

TO FURNISH A ROOM
Plans to Furnish q Parlor in
Michigan's Building.
BID FOR DREDGING THE GRAND
Committees Of the Board Of Trade Ap-
pointed for the Year--othes
Board Of Trade Matters.

The first meeting Of the new board of
trade directors Was held last night and
President Briggs announced the stand
ing committees for the year. The
secretary made statement OF finances
and advocated some plan of running
the association 90 - to bring the
finances to moro satisfactory state.
Other matters Of importance were dis
cussed ana referred to committees.
among them the question Of Grand
Rapids furnishing the woman's parlor
in the Michigan building 1t the worlds
fair.
Secretary Kinsey made . financial
statement showing that tho board is
somewhat in arrears. Colonel Briggs
suggested that the statement be re-
ferred to the committee on ways and
means. which was done.
John s. Lawrence said he had mat
ter he wished to bring before the board.
He said there was room In the Mich
igAn building at the worlds fair which
had been set aside TO DO furnished at
Grand Rapids expense. The mat
ter had received some atten-
ton from the improvement board
when il was in existence. He
thought $1,000 would place the room
ready for the furniture. His idea Was
to furnish the room in such manner
that It would advertise the city and not
those who contribute furniture. The
room has reached such . state that If
anything is to be done it must DO done
at once. The 1000 would be expended
IN finishing the woodwork, in decorat-
ing the walls and in laying the carpets.
On motion Of William Alden Smith,
John s. Lawrence, w. j. Stewart and
William Alden Smith were appointed
committee to act with the Kent county
commissioners In the matter.
Charles X. Sigh offered resolution
stating that the board favored amend
ing the city charter 90 as to enable the
council to bond the city to improve the
river. Referred to the committee on
municipal affairs. He also offered .
resolution to allow the Horsemen's as
ISOLATION, the Furniture association,
the Press club and other municipal or
carnations the use of the board rooms
in which to hold meetings. 1t was re-
ferred to the executive committee.
