find no grounds upon which an
charged could be based, and in conse-
quence of which he discharged the
young man.
Peter Hoskins and William Wagner

OF being two of the parties who ran

you will probably receive within a
short time after your arrival a letter
from some person you never knew, and
never heard of, asking you for an order
on the superintendent for some choice
ferns, palms or hanging baskets to be
filled at their own suggestion. Per-
haps the letter comes from some resi-
dent of Washington, for there are many
here who are on the outlook for new
members of congress, especially those
who do not bring their families with
them. Or it may come from one of
vour own constituents, who is we'll
versed in all the congressional per-
quisites. So it will not be long before
you learn that there is a vast variety of
things besides seeds and congressional
reports, which only await your order
informing the custodians where the
articles may be sent.
Each member Of congress is entitled
to a certain amount from the Botanical
garden each year-the kind and the
amount being, of course, subject to the
rules of the superintendent. II a SEN
ator should send for one of the r.re
specimens of palms or cactus, it is very
doubtful about the request being hon
ored. The last specimen OF rare
plant would not be given up under any
circumstances. The most of the orders

The Practice of Preaching Other Peoples
Sermons by No Means a New One.
Much has been said of the practice
of buying and selling sermons, a prac-
tice, by the way, of no special novelty.

friend of Johnson, offered to supply
him with stock of original sound SER
mons for trifie. 81 would sooner buy

l"Don't be offended said Osborne, Il

price of sermons. as of all else, has
varied with the times. Il 1910 bishop

this is simply a fashionable type.
You turn from her to find different
sort of girl. This girl has big sleeves
with big droops, too; and yet her re-

Then straight, without fold, her
bodice slopes down to the waist line,
and from there on takes such pretty,
full plaits into itself. standing out
bravely and jauntily all above her
Such dainty figure she presents!
Perhaps it is the satin bands and the
braids that encirclc her figure so pro-
tectingly that make you think that
she, at least. needs no further assist
ance. Her step is SO springy and elas-
tic, the slenderness of her form is SO
intensified by the pretty fullness, OF
her basque's skirt, that she delights
your eye, and you stand off little to
watch her, as she passes swiftly.
Then you meet your tailor-made girl,
always immaculate and charming in
her severe simplicity. But even the
tailor-made girl has a fascination this
year that she never had before. Per
haps it is the quaintness of rever and

is that she satisfies that craving for
perfection which makes itself felt in
the human breast.

THE GAME OF .iNGS.

6teinitz. the Champi. hess Player, Has
Conquered Many Notable Men.
William Steinitz champion chess
player of the world, has played the
game of kings with some of the worlds
greatest men who were not profess
sional players He played more than
one stout game lasting from early
night into the next morning with Won
Moltke, who, in addition to- being a
great general, was one of the best chess
players in Europe, and who fought his
chessmen rs he did his army corps, al
ways to win. He played with quite
another sort o4 person when in Paris
at the time Of tho fulness of the power
of Napoleon Ill He was honored once
by having this gloomy, ambitious,
misanthrope for an antagonist, and
said that the last French emperor
might have made a respecta BILE chess
player but for his weakness in IL Aking
rash and utterly unnecessary moves.
Once the champion met the Prince of
Wales in friendly game, but he says
there was no honor in beating that
goodnatured gentleman, for he played
haphazard.
Herr Steinitz has played with Bis
marck among others, but he does not
consider the great German statesman
a master of chess as Won :1oltke was.
Bismarck never had. he says, that
mastership of himself that is necessary
In the game of chess. He could not
contain himself when his antagonist
would sit for half an hour studying
out series of moves. Hewould stride
the floor, puff volumes of smoke and at
times seem about to sweep chessboard
rhessmen and all away with heavy
hand.
He had not patience" said Mr.
Steinitz. land no man can master chess
without patience.
Steinitz himself says that while there
Is healthy and growing interest in
chess in this country it is not encour-
aged, as many other less noble and in
telligent games are. But he says it is
a game that appeals 20 the intellect
and therefore its progress is sure.
Steinitz will play in no more tourna-
ments. The man who wins his cham
pionship from him must do it in a
match game, man to man. And he
says that there are some very strong
players coming to the front on the
other side, who may yet teach him
things he has not yet learned about
chess. A trifle peculiar it is that this
man should have some trouble in get
ting any reasonable sum offered for
him to play any other great chess
player Herr Steinitz may. after an
effort, get a few hundred dollars
offered for match with some other
able player. The games played involve
great deal of time. They exhaust
the players and the mental strain is
heavy And. of course, the loser re-
ceives some portion Of the small stake

In this age of retrenchment and cur
tailment of expense many may ask
why the United States should support
botanical garden. Perhaps some OF
the most jealous advocates for cutting
down the expenses of the national gov
ernment might ask why the tract OF
between eight and nine acres almost
under the dome of the capitol, where
the land is worth at least five dollars
square foot. cannot be sold and the
money turned into the treasury or the
land used as a building site for the
new buildings which are constantly
being erected in the city for municipal
and governmental use This, how
ever, is paternal government. The
nation believes in the education and
culture of its citizens. and it is safe to
say that as long as this principle pre-
walls the Botanical garden will con-
tinue to act. as it has in the past, as an
educator not only to the citizens of
this city but to the thousands of Wis
itors who year by year admire it's
beauties, and gain new inspirations
and love for the cultivation of flowers
