shot toward the zenith. a little stout
man. with a mourning band on his silk
hat. began to sputter. His face as
sumcd the complexion of lobster that

"Bub-but rt-st-st b'r'r'r," he said, as
the veins stood out upon his neck.
Guess he'll have stroke" NUT
tered a passenger to the elevator man,
while the latter gazed anXiOusly at the
man who was sputtering like n lamp
going out.
At the twenty-third story the stout
mans eyes were nearly starting from
his head. perspiration sought its
watersheds ON the map of his cOunten-
ance. and as he grasped the arm of the
elevator man the latter neryously
pulled the lever and the lift started
for the bottom at a terrific rate. The
solitary passenger danced about gurg
ling systematically, and it seemed as
il the threatened stroke would get him
before the ground floor was reached.
AS the car struck bottom. however.

old..t chlearo voter.

Charles Z. Peck has the facts to
prove he is the Oldest consecutive
voter In Chicago. He has taken part
in elections for sixtytwo years, hav-
ing gone 10 the polls at least once in
each twelve months since the town
was small enough TO have but two pre-
cincts. and the men were so honest
there was no necessity for any previ-
ous registration. He remembers when
the boxes were held open as long as
there was any possibility Of a belated
citizen demanding his right TO have
n hand in the balloting. He saw the
books opened after the totals had been
made because a man had been delayed
in the country by the mud and did
not arrive at the booth until almost
midnight.

Horticulture in Florida.

Tin Cans.

We found the following letter in
Parks Floral Magazine of 1898. If

contribute some of her experiences to
these columns.
