 "Talk about new and wonderful trees and plants and seeds," said the enthusiastic agent, "I've got list of novelties no enterprising, wide-awake farmer can afford to do without"
 Have yep" asked the honest tiller of the soil as a strange glitter crept into his eye.
 ''Yes, sir. I can sell you pie plant from which you can grow mince, GUS tard, lemon, cream or any other kind of pie while you wait. It is mighty convenient plant to have around be- cause one never knows what minute a lot of unexpected company may come and even the best of families are some times caught without pie in the house."
 II guess you're right" sad the old farmer"
 And I have here an illustration showing a new and wonderful variety of strawberry plants, the pollen of which has been crossed with the finest grades of pulverized sugar and winter wheat four, thus producing the com pleted short-cake all ready for the ta ble. The picture, as you see, is very attractive, but it does the subject mo- where's near justice.
 "Hev ye got sample of the cake with yep" asked the confiding farmer.
 Sorry, but just gave the last piece to a man l met half-mile down the road and to whom l sold large num- Der of the plants, as he is going to open restaurant next spring. But" con tinued the agent, "here are other things equally as wonderful and de- sirable. l can sell you egg plants that will produce ducks, chickens, geese, turkeys and all sorts of fowls. l have bird seed from which you can grow everything from humming birds to bald eagle!"
 "All from the same lot Q seed?" in- quired the farmer.
 "Oh, yes, to be sure" answered the agent. "It's mixed bird seed you see. And I have horse chestnuts that will produce a livery stable in ninety days. And plum and apple trees that yield an abundance of pudding and dump lings all ready to oe eaten. l have also a variety of peach tree that was budded with preparation of ground tin, and now it produces the peaches all put up in cans ready for winter use.''
 Well, I'll jest be hanged eff that ain't an idee?" said his listener. Any can opener grows with it?" he added.
 Well, no, I'll not deceive you," said the agent, "by saying there is, but we hope soon to remedy that defect"
 Wall, let me tell ye, stranger" said the honest old farmer, we're way be- hind the times. The last agent at was here had them ready-canned peach trees, and with every can there'd Z row a can-opener, a corkscrew, pencil sharpener and a stump-puller. No can opener, eh? We'll, l can't buy of you, cause I don't want my neighbors to know I'm fool enough to buy old-fash- toned back k-number trees that are clear out O style They'd gimme the laugh sure" And then turning to a freckled- faced boy who had been listening at safe distance, he said: "Hennie, let Tige out of the barn. He hasn't had noth- ing to eat for three days"

takes the tickets at the main entrance
of this beautiful temple OF Thespies.
Just before the curtain rose a hand
somely attlred lady entered. and, with.
out observing 1t. she dropped one Of
her tan colored gloves. which, by the
way, matched her dainty little shoes.
The lynx eye of Mr.. Cole was quick to
notice the glove as il f1uttered to
her feet, and as he stopped
to pick it up he thought lie observed
the other one. As he gathered the one
that had fallen he made grab for what
he supposed was the other one. which
proved to he her shoe, and the mistake
was not discovered until he had seized
hold of her foot. The lady readily per-
ceived the situation, and as she received
her glove from the blushing William
she handed him a spray OF trailing
arbutus and tripped away to her seat.

sPRIGHTLY rERPs1CnoRE,
Establishes Her Domain at the
LyCeufn.

The Lyceum. last evening, was the
domain of Terpsichore, the sprightliest
of the muses.. For period three
hours and half she reigned supreme,
mid the glamour of electric lights and
the gloss of tinsel aud fancy costumes.
Tie occasion OF the visit OF this airy
little muse was a carnival, advertised
on the bills in very pr0saic way as an
Exhibition OF Fancy Dances The
title of the carnival is a misnomer mas
much as the Exhibition of Fancy
Dances" was veritable dream, a
Terpsichorean revel. as it were. The
carnival was under the auspices of Mr..
and Mrs. Howard Wheaton Malcolm.
TIE theater was tastefuily. even
elaborately decorated with flowers of
various hue and kind. Especial atten-
ton had been paid to the decorating of
the stage.
The theater was crowded with the
elite and fashion OF the cityt; his too.
IN spite Of the inclemency of the
weather. A greater portion OF the
audience was composed of members of
the fair sex. with doling mothers in the
lead. This was due, no doubt, to the
fact that all the characters in this
'Reign of Teipsichore" were little
boys and girls. The curtain rolled up
on "A Midsummer Nights Dream" at
$3.50. and the concluding number of
part three was not rendered until close
to midnight. The programme COM
prised tableaux, transformation scenes
aud fancy dances by the little ones.
There was the dance of the "Dew
Drops" six little four-year old boys and
girls: the march and dance of the
Brownies" the Butterfly" ballet, the
'Swiss Dairy Maids " drill, the "Wash-
ingtoI Minuet." the "Watteau Shep-
herds" dance. "Beauty's Cunning
Gavotte" and dozen other picturesque
dances and marches. Each little per-
former is worthy of special mention,
but space will not allow it.
Lillian Malcolm, in the Butterfly
dance, Bessie Mcknight. in the
ribbon" dance, Richard Root, in the
''highland Fling" Ethel Malcolm, in
''La Zingarelia" and Minnie Miller, in
the Sword dance, carried off the hon
ors of the programme, if it is possible to
discriminate among the hundred or
more who participated.
