An Abiding Perfume.

Nearly six years ago farmer

Of essence Of peppermint in town had a
runaway on West Franklin street near
the Christian church, and five Of the
carboys were broken. Owing to the
value Of the essence. his loss amounted
TO something like $1,000, q total loss,
with no insurance. The point in re-
yiving the incident is that the pun-
gent odor Of the liquid, which heav-
lily burdened the atmosphere in that
vicinity for months, still clings to the
earth where the liquid was spilled. and
the neighborho small boy delights
in mystif ying the uninf formed by pick

The atmospheric ambitious are right,
