shat the stone Was Vas missing out OF MS
much grieved. not SO much on account
of the value of the stone, although that
was $3.50, as for the memories connected
with it. He procured a light and made
a thorough search of his apartments. and
then of the restaurant, but without sue
cess. He went to bed convinced that he
would never see the. stone again. This
morning Constable "Joe' Locke suggest
ed that it would be a good scheme for
Colonel Brown to go to the houses where
he had called. Colonel Brown adopted
the suggestion. The first house he went
to was Mr. Montague Redgreaves', and
there the stone was restored to him One

GRATING OAOTI.
An nat Can Accomplish This
with Patience md Practice.

IT is often desirable to graft the deli
cate. weak varieties of cacti on the
sturdy healthy growers, and the anna
teur can easily accomplish this after a
little practice. The piece to be grated
on the rooted plant-in other words, the
graft itself-is called the scion, while the
on which it is to be grated is cali
ed the stock. The grating may be done
at any time while growth Is progressing
tember. being the best months. The
stock should be q straight. strong growing
plant. In the center OF this make an in
cision about half an inch deep; cut the
scion wedge-shaped at the base n then
Introduce the prepared scion in the in
cision in the stock pressing firmly with
out bruisIng. Then pass a large cactus
thorn through both the stock and the
scion to hold them in position. or IL this
is not convenient, tie the graft care
fully with soft yarn and set the plant IN
8 sheltered shady place and keep it dry

yer ice pitcher by Schmidt, the proprie-
tor of the saloon, or another man who
was standing near the saloon-keeper.

THAT IS THE QUESTION, SENATOR,
Which Is at Issue Between You and the
Administration.

Which Is at Issue Between You and the
Administrations.
"Yes. but only ministers from coun-
tries which congress chooses to have
recognized. 1t two governments are
striving for control of q country con-
gress may by law decide which govern
ment the United States will recognize.
and the president Is bound to obey the
law and receive a minister from that
government and refuse to receive a
minister from the other. The idea that
the president has the sole prerogative
of deciding what foreign governments
shall be recognized by the United States
has no foundation whatever in any
words to be seen in the constitution
The fact that the president has recog-
nized new governments without con-
gressional expression when congress
and the people have approved his ac-
ton. is no proof whatever that when
they disagree with him they cannot
control him by law. He Is their agent,
and when he does what they want him
to do no law is needed.
.sWhenhe threatens to conduct himself
otherwise. whether by action or nom
action, the whole subject may be con-
trolled by a law passed over a veto
under the ample powers in congress
granted by section s of article Of the
constitution. which are not restricted
nor limited in this respect by any other
clauses In the constitution. There IL
no escape for the advocates Of mon
icalgovernmenti In Washington from
the provisions of clause Is, section s.
article l.
1T is singular that the only two
presidents who have undertaken to DEFY
congress have been Andrew johnson
and Grover Cleveland. The one tried
to create and maintain against the will
of congress ten new state governments
in the Union; the other claims the
right against the will of congress to aid
in sustaining abroad a bloody tyranny
over an oppressed nation. Mr.. johnson
betrayed and abandoned the party
which elected him. His threachery was
condemned by all right-minded men,
and he went out Of Office without q
party and without a friend. Mr.. Cleve-
land still fingers with U.s."
