would not care to follow the occupation.
Down in his oven room the baker pat
tiers around among the loaves, rolls, pies
and cinnamon buns clad as lightly as pos
ssible. The room is quite dark, for the
baker has about as much need of light as
he has of clothing. The open furnace
doors flash beams of light upon the floor
that provides all the illumination that is
necessary for the work. When the bak-
ing is done the oven man curls himself
up in as comfortable a position as he is
able to assume and sleeps until the dawn.
1t is said that only baker can lead
a bakers life, yet all enjoy watching him
at his work.
Another scene that Is interesting to
witness is the farmers coming In to mar
ket. As soon as the first streaks of light
tint the east, the rumbling Of wagons
may be heard as the farmer approaches
the city mart with ais daily supply of
produce. Before it is fairly light teams
begin to line up along West Third street.
and the local merchants congregate to
buy their daily supply of vegetables.
Many of these truck farmers have driven
ten or fifteen miles and yet theE are at
the market places with the daWHof day.
Some who have the farthest to- drive
start in the evening and stay over night
SO as to be ready for business early in
the morning.
In the postoffice all through the hours
of the night the hurry and hustle that Is
SO common there is maintained. Malls
are constantly coming in and mails must
be got ready to go out. Several clerks
are at work all the night long In order
that there may be no stopping of Uncle
Sans mails, and doing all they can to
shorten the time necessary for letter
to accomplish it's journey.
AS for the newspaper men. they take an
important part in the great drama of
life which is being enacted through the
hours of darkness as well as in the day
time. 1t seems that crimes, fires, acct
dents, deaths of prominent men and all
the things that the people would not
wish to miss have strange way of oc-
curing when the sober. honae- keeping
citizens are in bed and asleep, thinking
that all the city's activity has ceased
waiting for the temperance of old Sol.
1t is in these hours that the newspaper
reporters may be seen hurrying here and
there along the streets intent on but two
things First, to get s'story," and sec
ond, to get it ready on time.
The newspaper office is one of the
places where there is no day nor night
appear in the stories. The day is divided
by the editors into two parts. The first.
in which to get the news ready, and the
second, to publish 1T. 1t is only on the
day off that they realize the distinction
that other folks make.
Newspaper Offices.
Midnight in a newspaper Office is the
busiest time of the day. Each man who
helps to make the newspaper. must work
with a realization that he IS writing his
tory, and that it must be done III time to
catch the morning express train that will
carry it to those who are anxiously

aT ait'ng its arrival His enthusiasm
must always be at fever heat And
knowing that his work today will be OBJ
liberated tomorrow, yet he must labor for
present success When he cannot do
this he learns a lesson about the survival
of the tittest-which means the most
competent and energetic newspaper man.
Then there is the nigh. messenger boy
He has his own peculiarities. One of
them is that he has no fear He goes
here and there through the city bearing
the messages that he carries with all
possible speed. Many times his work
calls him to go down in the toughest
parts of the citSr-in places where his
seniors would hesitate before going, and
yet he goes fearlessly. His is sGrenu-
Gus life. He must hurry-he must run,
for thousands of dollars or even human
lives may depend upon the speed with
Which he performs his duties.
Then the cafe. One must not miss the
cafe. 1t is here that all classes of night
workers may be seen together with those
who, because OF frequent calls made
upon those who stand behind the oar,
are unable to tell whether it is day or
night, dark or light
The mar who labors through The day
can easily be dstected among this mis-
ceilaneous crowd of night workers. He
is quiet and reserved, and makes a mark
ed contrast to the loud-talking. quick
witted night worker who can be content
ed anywhere until the sun comes out and
drives him off to bed.

HoYTs JOKE on M,kEE.


On one occasion Mr.. Mckee was watch
ing performance from box, where he
was seated with some friends.
During the first act an usher came to
him with the information that gem
tlernan was waiting at the door to see
him on most important business
Tell him 1 can't come. out-I.m very
busy" was the answer ssss
The usher returned in moment to say
that the man insisted on seeing Mr.. Nc
AKee, who again sent out word that it
was impossible to see him.
The man outside then sent in the mes
sage that he was an author, and had
play that he wished Mckee to read inn
mediately.
This incensed the manager, who said
to the usher:
Tell that fool out there that this is
no time to bring a play to be read Get
him out of the place-I won't see him,
wont read his play,
A few minutes later the usher came
back and informed Mckee that the man
utterly refused to go without seeing him,
and that he must be granted an inter-
view, also that he was quite sure that
the manager would not only read his
play, but he would also produce it, and
added that he would bet sl,0oo that Hoyt
& Mckee would be only too glad to get
the play.
At that Mckee became furiously an
CRY, and, excusfng himself to his party,
left the box with the intention of per-
sonally inviting the persistent author to
begone.
Where's that idiot who insists on see
ing me?'' he asked of the treasurer at
the box Office. Then the treasurer point
ed to man standing in the shadow with
a roll of manuscript under his arm.
1t was Hoyt, with his newly finished
play, which he handed to Mckee, who
said to those present:

A trip to the places where these men
labor during the night is entertaining and
full of interest. To be sure. some of them
do not in any way differ from the same
places in the daytime, as is the case with
the milkman's work which is always the
same, be it day or be it night. But the
most of these places contain scenes that
are worth while seeing. There is claim
ed to be something in the atmosphere
that surrounds night work that makes
the labor easier and the time to pass
more quickly than in the daytime, and
one who has once become accustomed to
it finds it difficult TO be satisfied with any
other work. Whether this is so or not,
1t is true, according to men employed
s in the vocations mentioned above, that
many are unwilling to go back to day
work.
In the Baker shop.
One of the most interesting of the
places in which night work is carried on
is the bakery. Outside the labor itself,
there are many things about bakers

"One-half the world does not know
how the other half lives" A great many
people in st. Paul think when they go to
bed at night the city's activity stops.
This idea is not inspired by any feeling OF
egotism. It simply means that the old
saw is true; that an army of men-esti-
mated at more than 6,306-works on
through the quiet hours of the night, car
rying on industries which thrive best in
the gloom and artificial light of the night
Not only in st. Paul do these cor ions
exist; they are found in every cry OF
the land and were it not for these night
workers many of the branches of bust
ness would be seriously crippled. One
does not realize the full Importance OF
these night industries until he rernem-
bers that a great many of these workers
are supporting families with the wages
they are earning by this labor. It is
safe to say that at least 5000 are sup
porting families, and that the number of
people who depend upon night work to
supply them with their daily bread will
exceed 90, 900.
While it is almost impossible to give
the exact number of men employed in
this night work, yet it may safely be
estimated that there are $500 people who
work during the still hours of the night
in st. Paul They are apportioned as fol-

Items from Laurel.

The Laurel Presbyterian Church, which
is erected on the site of the old building
destroyed by fire on the night Of Decem-
Der 18th, 1899, was dedicated on Sunday
afternoon last. Mr.. Baker was assisted
in the services by Rev Mr.. Allison, of
Westminster Church, Baltimore, and the
Rev. Byron Clark, of Mount Washington,
who delivered the dedication sermon; his
text was from Esra, 14th Chapter, 9th
verse: "And the elders of the Jews builded,
and they prospered. His discourse was
marked by much clearness, force and elo
quence and commanded the rapt atten-
ton of his hearers Mr.. William Snow
den, the senior elder, gave history of
the Church, and with visible emotion
stated that of those who composed the
committee of organization, forty years ago,
he was the sole survivor. The organist
and choir of w estminister Church, Balti-
more, had charge of the music, and their
exquisite rendering of the sacred airs and
anthems was rare treat to the audience.
The pulpit was adorned with profusion
Of Spring flowers. A collection was taken
up, which amounted to several hundred
dollars Mr.. Emmit Petit was Chairman
of the Building Committee of the new

DANCES in Maryland.

There is a prospect, it seems, that Ma
ryland and Virginia may be able to add
oranges to their annual crops. The De-
partment of Agriculture is making exper-
iments that promise well for these States.
Five years ago the first experiments were
begun with the japanese orange, which is
extensively used for hedges. Later the
sweet orange was grated upon this har-
dier stock, and trees representing the
cross are now growing vigorously in the
department grounds in Washington an
are now covered with blossoms. Should the
yield this year be up to expectations steps
will be taken toward planting the new vari-
ETY. ext ensively in Virginia and Maryland.
Farmers in considerable numbers have
already signified thier desire to thy the

Conditions Of the Crops.

The following is the Weather Bureaus
weekly summary of crop conditions:
While the week has been abnormally
cool in the Upper Mississippi and Missouri
Valleys, with frosts more or less damag-
ing in the latter, the conditions as a whole
have been favorable, but the area need
ing rain is much greater than in the pre-
,iuus week, and the effects of drouth
more serious, especially in the Gulf States
The generally abundant rains of the pre-
vious week over the Western plateau and
Pacific Coast districts followed by much
warmer weather, have given highly favor
able conditions in that region
Corn planting in the Central Missouri
and Mississippi Valleys has been some
what delayed on account of low tempera-
lures, but fair progress has been made,
this work being nearly finished in Mis-
souri, and Kansas. In the Ohio Valley
and Middle Atlantic States planting has
made favorable progress, although some
what retarded in portions of West Vir-
ginia and Ohio. In the Southern States
the crop is uneven, has made slow growth
and is generally in need of rain, although
showers have afforded relief in sections
The general absence of rain over a
large part of Nebraska, Kansas and South
ern Missouri has some what checked the
prog IS OF winter wheat but, elsewhere in
the winter wheat belt the condition of
this crop continues favorable, Il decided
improvement being reported from Michi-
gan and Ohio. In Texas no improvement
is reported. Wheat is now heading as far
north as Tennessee and Southern Kansas
On the Pacific Coast reports continue ia
vorable, except from extreme Southern
California.
Spring Wheat seeding is practically
completed and the early sown is roofing
and stooling satisfactorily High winds
have caused some damage to spring
Wheat in South Dakota.
Seeding of Oats continues in the ex-
IRENE northern districts and harvesting
has begun in Texas and Florida Over
the greater part of the Southern States
the crop has suffered from drouth and is
now needing rain in the lower Missouri
Valley. In the Middle Atlantic States
and Ohio Valley Oats have made good
growth and are generally in promising
condition. Over the southern portions of
the upper Missouri and Mississippi Valleys

Pan American Exposition Stamps

A special series of postage stamps in
honor of the Pan American Exposition at
Buffalo, were distributed by the Post
office Department of the Government to
all postoffices in the United States on
May list.
The stamps are of uniform dimensions,
O.7G LOG of an inch, and represent
different forms of modern transportation
methods. The borders take the colors of
the regular series of the same denomina-
tions of stamps now in ure The words
commemorative Series, 1901" and
United States of America" appear in
upper border above the vignette; the le-
gend in the line below it designates some
particular feature of transportation ap-
pearing in the illustration. The line at
the bottom indicates the value of the
stamp by Roman capital letters and Ar
able numerals.
All of the central illustrations are from
photographs as the objects represented ap-
pear to- day, and are printed in black.
The one cent stamp represents steam
boat travel designated by side wheel
Lake steamer with one funnel, of the
style generally used on the Great Lakes
of to- day.
The two-cent stamp represents railway
travel by train of four cars and engine
of modern pattern.
On the four-cent stamp is a picture of
the automobile of the closed coach order
with two men on box and portion of
the United States Capitol in the back
ground. For this illustration a photo
graph of one of the Baltimore & Ohio
automobiles, taken in front of the Con-
gressional Library at Washington, with
the Capitol in the background, was Sc
lected. The Baltimore & Ohio was the
first railroad to inaugurate this method
of transportation in connection with its
train service.
The five-cent stamp has a representa-
ton OF the largest single span steel bridge
in the world bearing, two trolley cars,
with a view of Niagara Falls beyond
The eight cent stamp shows the great
shi p canal locks at Sault ST. Marie, Mich
and the ten-c stamp shows an Ameri-
can Line steamship with two smoke stacks
and masts.
The series make most interesting col
lection and is one which collectors
will secure before the stamps are
