Flowers from Penzancs.

Imagine whole freight train loaded
with nothing by flowers. Such a train
recently came rolling into London
from Penzance. The SciIly Islands,
lying to the westward of Lands End,
are the flower gardens Of the British
metropolis. There is hardly any other
industry on these islands except the
raising of flowers for the London mar
ket. The Gulf stream hobs up Sc
reneIy from below on the shores Of
the ScilIys in it's last expiring effort
and brings to them a faint remem-
brance of the warmth of the tropic
seas from whence it comes, thus max
ing the islands Of a mild climate,
where flowers bloom in March. The
cargo for this special trainload of flow
ers was brought from the island flower
farms in a steamship to Penzance,
where the train was in waiting. The
flowers were in packages and as each
package weighed but few ounces some
idea of the enormous bulk of the cargo
may be gained from the fact that it
weighed twenty-seven tons. The
flowers were picked in the morn
ing and loaded on the ship.
which got them to Penzance in the
early evening. Then the express
freight rushed them to London, and
the next morning they were for sale il
the flower markets of the great city.

heart In the hall before he left, but to
his surprise he found that young wom-
an somewhat coy. The reason for it
he discovered a few minutes later AS
they were going down the steps her
sister called him back and handed him
note and a sweet, sphinxlike smile.
What the note said was this:
Dear jim:
Do you remember once telling me
that woman had no sense of humor,
that she could not understand joke
and would not recognize one If she saw
it walking down the street? 1 made
up my mind then to play joke on you
that you would never forget Ny poor
old JIM How tell it for laughing?
You have been making love all night
to Nell, whom you have never seen
before. Five times you have kissed
her to my certain knowledge-poor me,
who have had to put up with one
meager handshake. 1 want you to be
| good friends with my sister, but l
think you have gone little farther
| tonight than the conventions demand.
The miniature? On, lent it to my sis
ter for the occasion! 1 hope you will
appreciate the point of this little joke
| 1 am quite sure that your friend Mr.
Garrison will see it. Please call to
morrow at three-and do not make
any mistakes in identity. Good night
dear old stupid JIM

other one was his betrothed. He had
seen her look exactly like both of
them. The more he looked at it the
more it seemed to him that the two
pair of dancing eyes in the photograph
challenged him mockingly for an an
swer. Finally he threw it down in
despair.
I'm making a mountain out of a
molehill,' he assured himself. When
1 see the girls I'll know which is
Gladys fast enough. It's just like
Bob to try and worry me about it.
I'll just fool him this trip"
Nevertheless he found himself WHIP
ing the drops of perspiration from his
brow at the mere thought of the pos
sibilities.
He did not find the situation any
more tolerable next day at the depot.
Bob Garrison was on hand, full Of
badinage and advice as to the best
way of getting out of it. He seemed
to take it for granted that Blake was
going to make mistake, and by the
time the train drew in Jim had allowed
himself to be badgered into a condi-
| ton in which he would hardly have
recognized his own father.
Blake saw a vision of loneliness de-
| scending the car steps which he recog-
| nized at once as Gladys. There could
be no doubt about 1t, and he went for
ward with radiant face and out
| stretched hand. She even wore a
| brooch with a miniature set in it on
the belt about her waist which he re-
membered to have seen before. Jim
had always understood that it was not
| the proper thing to salute a young
woman in a public place, but for this
one occasion he made an exception. He
was going to show Bob Garrison that
he was not so slow after all. A moment
J later he looked up to see second
| Gladys standing beside him with a
curious smile on her lips. For just a
second doubt crossed his mind, but
| then he recoI1ected the miniature and
smiled complacently. Out went his
hand to her in frank brotherly greet
ing. Presently he became aware OF
Garrison lowering in the background
shaking a fist at him, and introduced
him with slight momentary confusion
After which the party gaily drove
home in cab.
Blake devoted himself to Miss
Gladys with lover-like ardor which
left nothing to be desired. At thu

.DJRS OPTIMISTIC REPORT.
Increased Importation of Tn the
Only Bad Feature.
VOLUME OF TRADE SATISFIES.

New York, Aug. 12.-R. G. Duns
weekly review says:
There is no complaint from any part
of the country over the volume of cur
rent distribution of merchandise and
what hesitation is observed in general
trade is chiefly due to the uncertainty
of the duration of the labor troubles in
in the steel manufacture Collections
good, better weather has helped the
agriculture classes, money is easy; and
stocks of merchandise carried are not
above the average for this season of the
year, particularly in the west and
southwest. Relief is felt in all de-
partments of the iron and steel indus
try, now that uncertainty is ended and
the position of the contestants made
clear.
A bad feature is the increased impor-
tation OF tin plates, which had been
manufactured in sufficient quantity TO
about meet the domestic dema1.d, i'm
ports in the last fiscal year being valued
at only S3,77O, o62, against s35, 746. $50
ten years ago.
Having no further ammunition in
heat and drouth reports for hosting
prices, spectators have turned sudden
" to the other extreme and demonstrate
that early frosts threaten all late plant
ed corn.
A healthy demand from domestic
millers and phenomenal Atlantic ex-
ports gave strength to prices of wheat.
As the season advances it becomes more
apparent that foreign crop losses will
necessitate unprecedented shipments
from the United States and with the
settlement of the strike on the Pacific
coast there will be movement of great
| magnitude Eastern shoe manufact ar
ers find conditions as favorable as las
week, while reports from the west are
more encouraging. Orders from the
drouth affected regions are no longel
countermanded, and earlier cancella
tions are being restored.
Prospects continue to improve in tn
market for wooden goods. Littl
change is seen in actual sales, but Their
is growing disposition to hold for tn
better terms that many in the trad
consider inevitable
