is therefore necessary that the sides
of such ditch should be smooth and
that it's bottom should be very dusty
This latter is easily managed by tying
together bundle of twigs, with the
leaves still adhering, and by dragging
this bundle repeatedly through the

been made. The spade should be
used to rectify any defects in the

occurred number of years ago and dur
ing the time of the sale of the Lake
Shore railroad a Cleveland. o., it hap
pened that Schuckers and John McSwee-
ney, the great criminal lawyer, met at
the sale. McSweeney had but short
zeal speeches at Cleveland and Philadel-
phia, and was attracting attention all
over the country. At this particular time
ne was trying a case at Cleveland Young
Schuckers was in these days a Veritable
dude and very sprucy
He went to Cleveland to have a time as
he always left Wooster to celebrate, and
particular occasion. He was small and
wiry III stature and always carried a silk
umbrella. 1t happened that he met Nc
sweeney in the rotunda, just as he had
1lnlshed an argument. and while the sale
OF the Lake Shore railroad was going on.
They stopped for a moment at the edge
of the excited crowd bidding in the road
sented-foreign, Vanderbilis. Goulds and
others. The bidding had reached IS, IG0, 600.
In spirit of deVilishness young Schuck-
erS bid S3.5O0,0C0 In a moment a rush was
made toward the new bidder-and q de-
mand was made to know what syndicate
he represented. His only reply was, with
a wave of his silk umbrella Go away

the. other syndicates asked for a recess,
which was granted. and in twenty min
uteS they came back when the bid was
raised TO 81 100000 and sold.
Mr.. Schucker's sprucy appearance and
being in company with the great criminal
lawyer had led them to believe he repre-
scented some secret syndicate, who were
trying to gain possession of the valuable
