There is one man in the world who
has a future before him. What his
name is, is not known 10 tina Louisville
& Nashville Office. They say that there
is no question but what he is one of the
greatest financIers that ever visited the
town. A man went into the Office and
wanted ticket to Mascoutah, III. He
was told that it would cost him 81.
But l have only Is cents" he re.
plipd.
WELL" replied the obdurate agent,
''you can't get tickle; for that amount
on this side OF the river. You can, how
ever, il you go over to East St Louis. ;"
81 can't do that" he answered.
He turned around and sat down Oh
the settee for moment. Then be aross,
and, with smile, said that he would
come back sooD and get the ticket. lie
left. and returned in about half an
hour.
Here he said TO Charley Jones,
"iB pawnbroker ticket for 70 cents.
Will you give me so cents for it?''
Mr.. Jones' thought a moment. and,
remembering that he didn't have any,
thing under s., referred him to W. q.
Martin. Mr.. Martin bought the pawn
brokers' ticket, and then the man pro
duced another halI.doll and bought
his railroad ticket for Mascoutah.
There was something about the
scheme that neither of the two men
cold understand at glance. They were
engaged in deep thought, aud the
stranger, guessing what bothered them,
turned back from the door and said:
You can't understand how ! have a
ticket which cost me 81, when | had
only Is cents. That's easy. II is this
way. | took my 10 cents to pawn
broker and pawned it for 50 cents. DO
you see? then had 90 cents in money
and ticket that called for 70 cents.
Then / came in here and sold my pawn
ticket to ono OF you for 50 conts, giving
mo 81. Why. it's simple question Of
arithmetic and financial science. Good
afternoon, ReEtlemen.
With a polite bow, he walked out.
Now. what Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Martin
are endeavoriug to do il TO ascertain
who has lost quarter. Or If any more
than quarter has been lost, and, if go,
how much.

Collecting orchids is an especially
interesting branch of Horticulture. The
orchid has a weird beauty all its own.
Its strange shane. its fantastic method
OF growth clinging to the rock On
lofty mountain sides, and TO the branches
of trees in tropical cuuntriesl, the fact
that it IL gathered in these countries
often at great risk of lifs--these CIR
cumstanceg serve to enhance the In
terest that orchids would awaken Of
themselves, even il they were not
difficult to procure. Then, too. orchids
are not difficult TO cultivate, a cool
house answering the requirements of
temperatufe--as they mostly come from
the mountain lands of the tropics--and
watering and cleaning icing all they
need in the way of care. Moreover. AS
above stated, it is IN easy matter to
nave hloom all the year rounu with
orchids. This is due 10 the great
number of varieties and the long flower
iEg period of Holne varieties. tho flowers
on Cattleya triHnae and eypripedium
insigne, for instance, lasting through
tho autumn and winter, so that with
only these TWO varieties bloom could be
maintained throughout these Seasons.
And auch bloom No one who has ever
seen group of towering Cattleyas can
ever forget them.
They are In appearance the most
superb OF all orchids. Tine flower ia
not infreauently half foot in diameter.
Petal and sepals hang with languid
grace that is simply entraneing The
color in single flower will shade oil
from soft pink to delicate creamy
flesh tint, like the lining Of a seashel,
while in tho lip there ia a spot Of
gorgeous royal purple. The are the
planets among the constellation OF
orchids-fnirly glowing out frcm the
deop shadows Of thsir ironds, as i! some
of tae hues of the sunset had taken
shape and flnate1 down to earth. Nota-
bly, beautiful among tho Cattleyas are
tho ileecy white Albinos THE collector
prides himself on these. as they aie
highly valued, a point holding good
with all groups OF orchidsl, and the
.Cattleya speciossissima, the purple In
whose lip is either notified or streHked
with white, and framed with pure
rich yellow. The Cypripsdium inuigne,
which also blooms during autumn and
winter, is yellow flower with large
brown spots, quiet contrast to the
elegance Of the Cattleyas. Similar con
trasts can be effected during any season
of the year. IL is an easy matter to
vary plants of gorgeous bloom with
those which. with their subdued colors,
seem to love dusk and shadow. No
other genus of flower can approach
orchids in their combination OF the
richest with the NEST delicate hues.

Time may sci his fingers there.
Fix the smiles that curve about
Her winsome mouth, and touch her hair
Put the curves Of youth TO rout;
But the something" God put there,
That which drew me to her first,
Not the imps of pain and care,
Not all sorrows iiends accurst,
Can kill the look that God put there.
Something beautiful and rare,
Nothing common can destroy;
Not all the leaden load.of care,
Not all the dross of earths alloy;
Better than all fame or gold,
True as only Gods own truth,
1t is something all hearts hold
Who have loved once in their youth.
That sweet look her face doth hold
Thus will ever be to me;
Joy may all her pinions fold
Care may come and misery;
Through the days of murk and shine,
Though the roads be foul and fair,
will see through loves glad eyne
That sweet look that God put there.

Al drowsy dawn | left the Gate---so very

Whether that home be memory or dream
hardly know
The cloud.hung visions of the morn were
far more real then
Than now are throngins city streets and
cries Of eager men,
Tho hours ere yet the sun was high were
like eternities. .r.
But now how swift the shadows run, how
near the darkness is
All, well ''ris aye the happiest day comes
swift TO even-song:
With merrier comrades never yet did pill
grim pass along,
The paths that widest seem TO part still
winding turn and meet;
Perchance they do but homeward LEAD again
our wandering feet
Familiar faces vanish, but the voiceslvihrate
still,
And nothing now seems far away, at the
ending Of the hill.
To one warm hand alone cling, as fast the
night grows late,
And crave that we may come at last together

And spent with their endeayor
The dead leaves whisper, sweet and low.

No raptured voices calling;
The weary earth grows old again
While all her leaves are falling
And still they whisper, sweet and low.
