Looking Under the Bed.

People tell me-" said Mr.. Glimby,
that folks don't look under the bed
for burglars as much as they used TO. T
haven't seen anybody yet that can ac-
count satisfactorily for this. One per-
son says that the burglars don't hide
under beds so much as they did, but
that seems pretty vague sort of state
ment. 1t brings to my mind, however,
the idea that perhaps burglars never
really made practice to any extent Of
hiding under beds, and that having
now in an indefinite sort OF way diseov-
cred that fact, we are ceasing to look
for them there. However that NAV be.
1 believe the general statement to be-
true that we don't look under the bed
for burglars so much as we did,

The presidents objection to the bill

AMERICAN bacon is prime favorite in
the English market, especially when
they can get it at their price. Ia 1895
they imported sS,279 hundredsweight
more American bacon than in 1894, but
it cost them 50, 434, 900 less money than
they paid for the smaller quantity the
previous year. In other words they paid
US 81 cents pound for our bacon in
1894, but only ~ cents pound in 1895.

great length, and has been pending for
almost two years.

II had little tiff with Sam to-day about
the club" said she. THE silly fellow
wanted to come with me this evening""
$50 did john" whispered Catherine.
At this moment the clang of bell was
heard through the house. A card was
handed to Mrs. Fondmother, who, eX-
cusing herself to her guests, vanishedin in
to the hall. A few minutes later she re-
appeared, her face all aglow with sup.
pressed laughter. After brief CONSUL
tation with the president, she addressed
her assembled guests as follows:
Ladies' of the Ideal club, l have taken
the liberty of admitting to this gather
ing a few of our mutual friends, who,
while belonging to club of different
order, are DESTROYS of joining with us at
our social meetings, and if agreeable to
our members, to aid US in the discussion
of the question before the club this
evening: is Man Necessary to WoIn-
ans Happiness?
Swinging back the portieres, Mrs.
Fondmother stepped one side, and
through the doorway there passed
stream of gentlemen in dress suits and
button-hole bouquets, each bearing in
his hand small nosegay, which he pre-
scented with his most graceful bow, to
the lady of his choice.
The scene which followed can better
De imagined than described. The babel
of tongues, the gay laughter, the witty
jokes made the house ring with mcrri-
ment; and it was not until the small
hours that the company dispersed.
BY the side of her tall husband, Cath
crime Bluestocking tripped homeward
in very contented frame of mind. The
tiny shadow that for time had clouGcd
her domestic horizon seemed to have
vanished into thin air, and it was with
much secret satisfaction that she con-
.templated the events of the evening,
and made her resolves for the future.
Suddenly John spoke, as if thinking
aloud:
"What strange thing hypnotism is.
Catherine! l wonder if many people
are possessed of the power to use it ?"
Catherine smiled in the darkness.
Every few, 1 fancy" said she, dryly;
"and 1 am fully convinced that there
never was and never will be but one
Svengali."
John bent his head and looked sharp
ly into her upturned face, and as their
eyes met they both burst into laughter.
At the next meeting of the Ideal club
unanimous vote was passed that per-
sons of the sterner sex should be admit
ted to the organization, with this pro-
viso: "That said persons should not be-
long to any other club or society where
ladies were not admitted also"
That the Ideal club soon doubled its
membership it is needless to say, or that

"Of course you are for the affirms-

"Of course you are for the affirms-
tive" said he, softly.
"Not necessarily" answered Cath
crime, coolly, though she avoided her
husbands eyes as she spoke.
With something of the feeling of hav-
ing received cold shower bath, John
finished his supper in silence; and
little later, the two who had been made
one went their separate ways.
The elegant parlors at Mrs. Fond
mothers were brilliant with gaslight
and fragrant with the scent of flowers.
The Ideal club was there to a woman,
and bright faces and pretty gowns
were grouped about the rooms like gor-
geous bouquets. Swiftly flew the MINI
BILE tongues as the momentous ques-
tons of the day were handled and dis
cussed with startling freedom. Oddly
enough, however, the principal topic
to be dissected was touched upon but
lightly. and Mrs. Bluestocking, who
seldom tailed to air her ideas on all sub
jects, was strangely silent.
Meanwhile, in the smoking-room OF
the Hob-Nob clubhouse, group of gen.
tlemen were talking earnestly together.
AS usual, John Bluestocking held the
floor.
~ tell you, boys, there is no other way
to do" he was saying earnestly. "Ws
must take them by storm"
Suppose they won't let us imp said
Sam Verybright, obviously.
"Pshaw, man! You know the saying
about faint heart" cried John, scorn-
fully. $50 we may as well try it, any
way"
"All right, John. You take the lead
and we'll follow" cried Tom Wisdom,
cxcitedly. Call upyour messenger boys
and send word to as many of the fellows
as you can find. and let's hustle or we
won't get there before they break up;"
and with a few more words, the gentle
men dispersed, to meet again an hour or
two later.
Ice cream and cake were being handed
about, and the members of the IdC al
club were growing more sociable and
confidentially inclined as they enjoyed
the refreshing sweets. Dorothy Very.
bright leaned over and whispered to her
friend, Mrs. Bluestocking: why so
silent to -night, Catherine?"
A little flush crept up into GATHERINGS
face as she answered, softly: ITO tell
the truth, Dorothy, can think Of moth
ing this evening but John"
1t was Dorothy's turn to color as she
glanced at her friend little confuse1ly.

AMERICAS GREATEST SEED GROW
ERS.

Thirty years ago when the Salzers
were conducting in a small but profit
able way, market garden and green
house business in La Crosse, Wis, they
little dreamed that within a third of
Il century they would be the leaders
in the seed growing and seed-selling
industry of America. The secret of
This phenomenal success was quality,
iberality, push. Nothing in the world
advertises itself quicker and better,
and more lasting than quality and to
the superior merit of Salzer's northern
grown seeds; to their unusual life and
vigor and to their absolute surety of
growth in conjunction with their
great producing qualities, and this
coupled with the great liberality- Of the
firm in the way of rare and many extras
to each order and push back of all,
has placed the firm in the van and en-.
titles them to the proud distinction
of Americas greatest seed growers!
The production of rare vegetable sorts
and new farm seeds has long been a
great speciality with this company,
owning and operating many thousands
of acres of land. Their great eight
hundred acre rial farm in South Da.
kota was visited by thousands inter-
ested in higher farming, ard all rail
roads gave half-fare rate within the
state to any wishing to see the farm.
The Salzers pay great attention to the
new grasses. clovers and fodder
plants, and their catalogue contains
the largest list of rare farm seeds
found in America.
A strong point of the John A. Salzer
Seed Co. is that they keep large stocks
of everything in the seed line on hand,
so that a customer ordering of them
is always sure of getting what he or
ders.
A slight idea of the magnitude of this
firms business can be gathered that
they issue probably the largest num-
berof catalogues of any American firm;
that they use over 100000 postage a
year, employ in the packing and dis
!ributing of their seeds upwards of
six hundred hands and require for
their distributing warehouse over ten
acres of floor room.
A five cent postage stamp sent to the
John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis.,,
will bring you their great catalogue.

''Of course, John. what question:"
said his wife, impatiently. There are
