our mail order department, an that de- partment'll sell you anything, by gosh! \ "Once a man proposed to a woman in \ my elevator I seen him. I'll tell you | how it was. Us three-me an him an her you knoW-Was goin' up smoothly to the second floor, when, zip, some thing snapped in the cable or the ma chinery an We shot up so fast to the eighth that we was flung in a heap in the corner together, We stopped be- tween the eighth an ninth, an hung there. The girl was cryln'. 1What'll happen now, friend?' the man says to me in a tremblin' voice,
 " I guess we'll drop an smash like egg shells next says I.
 "Then he crawls out from underneath the girl an me, an says with a groan:
 Mamie I love you. Oh Mamie, will you marry me if we come out O this all right?' She had got up, too, >an' was settin on the seat by that time, an I was fookin' on with an inquisitive an sympathetic look, an he was holdin' out both hands.
 Oh, Mamie!' he says.
 Oh George!' says the girl.
 An then they got together. The car, before the reak-away, started off smooth an easy again, for it was only a trifle that was the matter with it, af- ter all. That couples married now, an they've got son they named after me, because they say. if it hadn't been for my elevator they'd never have been married, an then, Q course they never would ha' had no little son.

VIEWS OF ELEVATOR MAN.
NOTHING MON0TON0Us ABOUT HIS
 JOB
One Who Wanted skull-A Propo-

Who says my jobs monotonous?
 the elevator man in the department l store snorted. That fioorwalker? 1 Did he say it? Oh, fudge." Deftly the
 man turned his silver wheel, and like a rocket the car shot, with a smooth, lux l urious movement upward. He re- sumed: Down and up, up and down 1 this shaft I go, like one O them mon
 keys on a stick that children play with. 1 The shaft is one hundred and sixty feet l long. Ia ascend and descend it takes me, on the average. a little more than
 minute. I make forty-fiye trips an hour. That is to say, l travel in an hour 14,400 feet, and in my nine hour day I travel 9600 feet, or 43,200 yards,
 or twenty-five miles, Ain't that won derfuI? Nothin' monotonous about
 that, is there?
 "I study human nature in this gay little cage O mine, with it's morrors an
 tufted cushions an polished metals, an
 hear everything, nothing escapes me,
 an my think-tank near slops over with
 good thoughts.Do you see that hollow place i'll the floor? Well, that's lesson in the vanity O women. Stand in it an look in the mirrors. You can see your self from about nine different points Q view at once, can't you? You can see the back O your head an the fit O your coat. You can see your profile an, dear knows, what else besides. It's a fine view that you get from that hollow place, an about one hundred thousand I1t6, f,t ba fo tbpU crowd into my elevator, an they pretty nearly fight to stand in that one spot. Thus they wear down the floor there, an patch has to be put in it every six months.
 An elevator, like a locomotive, gets cantankerous when it needs a rest, You halt it then. You give it couple O days off. If you don't it shows a very nasty disposition in stoppin and startin'. You turn the wheel to start it. an zing-zing- -zing!-it shoots up so fast that everybody in it falls on the floor. They scramble to their feet, laughin' or mutterin' according to their temperaments, an then when you go to stop it, it pulls up so sudden that the passengers heads, by jngs, bump the ceilin Well, they won't stand for that you know, so the elevator gets the rest it's lookin for. It demands this rest about once in three months.
 Passengers put queer questions to me sometimes. They seem to think a department store sells everything.
 Which floor is your skulls on? a farmer says to me one day.
 Skulls?' I says. What kind Q skulls?' For I thought, you know, that maybe he meant oars.
 Why, human skulls, young feller,' says the farmer
 " Go away back says I. This ain't | no morgue. This is a department store, | where we sell laces an silks an trim mins, You won't get no skulls here
 Well, the farmer boarded me again ] week later Mail order department, young feller, he says. I want to get my skull exchanged An he opened up | 1is carpet-bag, an there was a skull in 1t, sure enough He'd got 1t through

HENRY s. LEE DEAD.

Prominent Springfield Financier-Wat
 a Director of the Consolidated Rail-
 road.
 Springfield, Mass March 29-Henry S. Lee, the leading banker of this city, died at his home here tonight from the result of an apoplectic shock suf- fered last Tuesday evening in the Ma sonic lodge rooms. He was sixty-nine years old. For many years before his death MT. Lee had been connected with the Springfield Institution for Savings, first as it's treasurer and since 1898 as president He was also director in the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad and the fourth in seniori- ty at the time of his death
 MT Lee was also a director in the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance company and had been it's vice pres- dent a director in the Fire and Ma rine Insurance company of this city: director of the Chicopee National bank, of Springfield, and of number of pri- vate corporations.
 It was in his connection with the charities of Springfield and with public affairs generally that MT. Lee was best known, although he never could be per suaded to accept office. Hardly has there been a material interest of the city in the last forty years but had personal service or financial assistance, and his private acts of kindness have been without number.

THE JOY OF GARDENS.
Posses One and Be Happy-A Thing of
 Real Delight,

l Posses One and Be Happy-A Thing oi
 Real Delight.
 | Perhaps no word of six letters con | centrates so much human satisfaction as the word garden"
 Not accidentally, indeed, did the in- spired writer make Paradise a garden, and still to- day, when a man has found all the rest of the world vanity, he re- | tires into, his garden, When man needs | just one word to express in rich and | poignant symbol his sense of accumu- l lated beauty and blessedness, his first | thought is of garden. The saint speaks of The Garden of God "A garden incosed is my sitter, my spouse" 7" cries the lover; or, There is a garden in her face" he sings and the soldiers stern dream is of a garden of swords" |" The word heaven" itself is hardly more universally expressive of human hap piness than the word garden"
 And you have only to possess even quite q small garden--so long as to be old 1t hardly matters how small it is but old must be, for a new garden is obviously not d garden at all. And most keenly to relish the joy which an old garden can give, you should perhaps have been born in a city and dreamed all your life of some day owning a gar den.
 No form of good fortune can, I am sure, give one a deeper thrill of happy ownership than that with which one thus city bred at last enters into pes session of an old country garden, Ev- erything your eve falls upon seems to wear something of the same look, and as your eye ranges with sumptuous sense of proprietorship from end to end of your little domain, your heart is fill ed with a sense of home more profound, more unshakable, and more pathetic than you have ever felt before.-before you owned a garden-From Harpers Magazine.

TEE SNAKE AID CRocODILs.-Th following

TIE SNAKE Axp CRocODILs.-The following
thrilling account Of an engagement between .
boa constructor and q crocodile in Java, is
given by an eye witness:
1t was one morning that stood beside o
small lake, fed by one of the rills from the
mountains. The waters were clear as crystal
and everything could be seen to the very bot
tom. Stretching ss limbs close gver this pond,
was O gigantic teak tree, and in its thick,
shining evergreen leaves, lay n huge boa, in
an easy coil, taking his morning nap. Above
him was powerful ape of the baboon species,
lecring race Of scames, always bent on miss
chief.
Now the ape, from his position, saw n croco-
die in the water, rising to the top, exactly
beneath the col! 'Cf' the serpent. Quick rs
thought he jumped upon the snake, which fell
with q splash into the jaws of the crocodile.
The ape saved himself by elinsing to the limb
Of the tree, but q battle Immediately COM
meuced in the water The serpent, grasped
10 the middle by the crocodile, made the water
boi! by his furious coptortions. Winding his
folds round the body, Of his antagonist, he
disabled his two hinder legs, and, by his con-
fractions, made the scales and bones Of the
monster crnck.,-
The water was speedily tinged with the blood
Of both both e'T %sni s. neither was disposed
being able to 6brsiT q decided advantage
AL this time the cause Of the mischief was in a
state Of tho highest ecstasy. He leaped up
and down tho branches Of the tree, uttered a
yell. and again frisked about. At the end Of
ten minutes, silence beGon to como over the
scene. The folds Of the serpent began to 10
relaxed, and though they were trembling along
the back, the head hung lifeless il. the water.
Tho crocodile also was still. and though
only the epine Of his back was visible, it was
evident, that be too was dead. The monkey
now perchcd himself on the lower limbs ofthe
tree, close to the. dead bodies, and amused
himself for ten minutes in making nil sorts Of
faces At them. Ya:s seemed aiding insult
to i,jury. One Of my companions was stand
ing at short distance and taking o stone
from the edge Of tho lake, hurled it at the
ape. He was totally unprepared, and as it
struck him on the side of the head, he was
instantly tipped over and fell upon the croco-
ollie. few bounds, however, brought him
shore, and taking to the tree, he speedily dis.
appeared among tho thick branches.
