IN A skYscRAPER.
A LudicrOus Comedy Enacted In q
New York Elevator,

Dan Griffin, the quaint South Boston
cousin of Andrew Mack, the Irish come
dian, paid the latter visit while he
laid over a day in New York before
leaving for his Chicago engagement.
The comedian had occasion to visit his
lawyer, whose, offices are on the TOP
floor of one of the sky-scraping build.
ings on lower Broadway. He thought
it would entertain his cousin Dan TO
be shown some of the sights, so he took
him along. When he reached the build
ing he told Dan to wait for him, while
he went up in the elevator The Bos-
tonian had never seen such fast NOV.
ing elevators before and became deep
~ interested. 1t finally occurred to
him that he might as well take ride as
to stand around and do nothing while
waiting for Mack. AS he went up
Mack came down and the elevator dis
patcher said to him:
"Your friend just went up in the ele-
vator. think he's looking for you."
Mack took the next elevator up. Just
then his cousin came down. He looked
all around and then inquired of the
elevator man:
"Have you seen my friend Mackw
"Yes, he just went up this minute"
Griffin took the next elevator, and he
was no more than out of sight till Mack
came down again.
"Your friend has just gone up again"
said the elevator man.
81 guess he'll wait for me this time,
so I'll go up" and up he went.
Down came Mack second afterward.
Ibid my friend Griffin come down
again" he inquired.
Eyes, and just went up again. He
| thought you would wait for him."
swell, I'll wait here"
He waited about five minutes, and
then, growing impatient. took an ele-
vator upstairs. Griffin had been wait
ing for him upstairs and came down
just as Mack disappeared.
swell, I'll wait for him and catch
him this time" said Griffin.
After standing in the corridor several
| minutes he decided to go upstairs and
| find him. AS he was whisked out of
sight Mack stepped out of another
elevator.
"Your friend has just gone up" said
| the elevator man.
Mack swore little under his
| breath and started to leave the build
| ing. At the door he hesitated and
| changed his mind, and took the next
| elevator up. Down came his cousin
| Dan at the same moment.
Hes just gone up again." was the
| elevator mans answer to his weary
look of inquiry, "and he'ssas mad as a
hornet" 3@& n %fA
"Then I'd better go right up and
| catch him." said Dan.
Up he went and down Mack came.
"Just went up" remarked the eleva-
| tor man.
I'm demmed if I'm going up again,
| said Mack. ''Tll wait right here" and
| HI sat down on the stairs.
81 hope they'll meet in Heaven" re-
| marked the elevator man.
Finally one of the elevators stopped
running, and Cousin Jim came down,
greatly to Mack's relief, for he was be-
ginning to despair about getting to Chi
| cago.-Theatrical Tidings.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
GOOD TIMES COMING.
Panics Are Unknown Wherever Inn
proved Roads Are introduced.

Panics Are Unknown Wherever Inn
proved Roads Are introduced.
That good roads will bring prosperity
is no idle dream. Through all the panic
and depression of the last three years
the farmers in the few good-roads dis
tricts of the country have gone on maxi
ing money and improving their farms,
ard they have not troubled themselves
much about politics or finance. e.
1t is enforced idleness that makes
farmers poor, and no farmer need be
idle day on account of bad weather or
wet fields if only his roads are good. On
q good road there is always paying
work of some kind, and wet weather is
just the. time to go OH the road. The
French farmer never loses good day
in his fields, for he can do all his market
ing and hauling of fertilizers in rainy
times. ~
What prosperity would burst upon
this country if every farmer and farm
er's boy, not at school. and every farm
hard and team could earn full days
wages every day in the year. rain or
shine!
When you have convinced your nelgn-
bors in the cities, and especially those
of them who are candidates for public
life, that the interests of the city popu-
lation demand that they shall come to
the relief of the farmers, you can go to
the farmers with this assurance of help
and ask them to take into careful con-
sideration the practical measures by
which this relief can be brought about,
and especially the measures for provid-
ing state aid and for the use of convict
labor. 1t is only through state and
county aid that the cities and villages
can help. If you find the farmers
clinging to the old ways, say to them
that these ways are mainly an unfor-
tunate inheritance from the mother
country, which we brought away with
us and failed to shake off when the sys-

PLANTING THE LAWN,
valuable Suggestions for Setting Ont
Trees and Shrubbery.

Valuable Suggestions for Setting Ont
Trees and Shrubbery.
"When planting trees in the lawn"
writes Evan e. ReXford, in the Ladies'
Home Journal, "we must remember
that the tree of to-day is only hint of
what the tree of ten or 20 years to come
will be. The trees we plant to-day, per-
haps five or six feet tail, and with
spread of branches not more than two
feet across, should in dozen years from
now, stand 25 feet high, and have n
spread of Is or 20 feet. FIVE plant them
but ten or twelve feet apart now we
will have, at the stage of development
they are expected to reach in dozen
overhead and dense shade beneath
Never plant with regard to regularity
that is, so many feet apart each way
as the rule has been laid down for orch
ards.
IF you want several shrubs on n
small lawn, and the space is loo small
to allow you to set them as far apart as
they aaght to be, in order to give them
the benefit of space individually, group
them, that is plant them in clump.
The idea is to make the three, or four,
or five shrubs which you plant in the
group produce a unit of effect which will
give much the same impression that one
well-developed specimen would. BY
selecting varieties in which there is
contrast of color as to foliage, as well
as flowers, satisfactory results may be
secured. In The irregularity which
produces charming effects there is al
ways a method and plan"

Never buy trees and plants at any
price that have been unduly mutilated
at the root. and the roots being fairly
supplied, never cut away more of the top
than just sufficient to bring the tree
into as symmetrical shape as possible.
