He read it again,
aloud, for the benefit of little old John
ME Gavigan, the clerk, and his tone
was cuttingly sarcastic:
Dear Mr.. Maguire-Next Thursday, you
will remember, is Patricks day. The men
are pressing me for a holiday or at least
q half holidey. Two-thirds of them be-
long to societies that take part in the
procession and some of the men are ex-
pected to be there officially. l would like
to give them their wish. Won't you please
approve? We have progressed so well
with the building since the beginning of
February that we can easily afford it,
There is now no doubt that we will have
it finished easily before the expiration of
the contract time. Please reply at once
saying that l have your approval. Faith
fully
. PATRICK ALOYsIUS O'ROURKB.
'Pathrick Aloysius O'Rourke, Gavi-
gan, is too BANKED impudent to have
the nose on him to ask such thing
And he thinks, too, l can't see through
him. He's as transparent as a dry
goods Winda to me. The Scoundrel
means that he wants to sthraddle
some old crate of a horse, the leavings

yard of green calico alongside that
procession on Pathrick's day. What
do you think of such mortal impu-
dence, Gavigan"
Poor Johnnie curled up within him
self, for he had been done the i'm
mortal honor of being named a mar
shall for that day. He had put past
enough money to hire a horse, and he
had been trying to muster up enough
courage to ask Mr.. Mcguire for the
holiday He shrunk in his shell and
did not reply.
Write O'Rourke at once these words
and sind them be a messenger: I'd see
you and the twO-thirds of the men who
are as big fools as yourself BANKED
first. | am going up there myself on
Thursday to see how many men will be
dismissed to the divil for staying away
from their work Have you that
down? If that procession of out of
works, lazy divils and tomfools goes
along Twenty-third street, and if one
Of your men lifts the tail of his eye to
look at them, I'll be there to order you
to give him his dismissal. Let Path
rick Aloysius ORourke put that in his
pipe and smoke it,"
Johnnie Gavigan sighed deeply, but
softly, as he wrote:
21 Broadway, Tuesday Morning.
Dear Mr.. 'Rourke-Much as ! should
wish it otherwise, l regret extremely that
I cannot possibly afford to let the men
get holiday on the occasion of the COM
ing festival, which, as Irishmen, we all
honor. l sincerely trust the good men
and true who on that day turn out to
honor st. Patrick and Ireland will be ia
vored with glorious weather and that the
procession will surpass if that be posi-
bic. those of former years in numbers, re-
Epectability order and general eclat. Very
Sincerely, MYLES mcguire.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In planting the orchard care should
be taken to allow each tree plenty of
room
\ layer of charcoal in the bottom of a
flower bed is very beneficial in keep
ing the soil fresh.
In blowing in the orchard always
turn the furrow toward the tree, and
be careful not to injure the fine, fibrous
roots
The life of an apple tree is often
shortened because it grows in a poor,
exhausted soil or one not properly
drained.
When i'll or ailing, handle the flowers
little or wear gloves. Delicate plants
are sensitive to human magnetism,
good or bad.
The roots Of the strawberry often
reach out five feet from the main
stem; hence the plants should not he
set too thickly.
An apple or cherry tree IS much
more valuable if it shoots out low.
Trim from the top, rs this viii cause
the lower branches to grow out
Land that has been too rough for
blowing may yet be sufficiently f.r,ile
to grow fruit trees and is better than
land that has been exhausted by crop.

LTO BE Continued
TRANSPLANTED TREES.
Why They Frequently Remain Dor
mant II Whole Season.

Certain kinds of trees frequently re-
main dormant all summer, following
spring transplanting To all appear
ances they are dead, and they are an
eyesore to the owner till removed.
The writer of this h,.s seen wistari-
as, horse chestnuts, ashes and tulip
trees remain perfectly dormant all
summer and come out safely into leaf
the following spring. 1t seems contra
ry to nature that trees should live
without the leaves, which we learn
are their lungs and essential for evap-
Grafton and assimilati ton of food in the
growing season.
Explanation of this peculiar action
is had by studying for 4 moment the
conditions that probably exist. The
roots Of such trees have been dis
turbed and their feeding powers sud
denly checked. They are called upon
to support the tops rs formerly, yet
their opportunity for the time being is
gone A struggle is going on. The tops
make feeble effort to put forth buds
and draw on the roots for nourishment
with poor success. The roots yield Of
their stored food but are too weak or
are not in position to make new
feeding fibers. If the tops have not
been pruned, the drain i. so much the
greater. Where leaves pH forth, tran
spiration would be more than the trees
could stand, and they would gradual
ly die away.-Meehan's Monthly.

The Advance In Paper Making.

When Ulman Suomer long ago estab-
lished paper making in Germany, he
had no foresight of the important posi-
ton paper was destined TO assume in
the civilization of man. In Stromer's
time paper was a rare material, little
used and only to be found in the offices
of the learned, of scribes and of officers.
The supply of Germany and of all
northern Europe was brought from
Italy and Spain-most of it from the
factories of Fabriano, in Italy, where
paper mills existed in the twelfth cen
tury, while 4 lively paper industry
fiourished in Spain, With its principle
seat at San Felipe, in Valencia, as early
as 1150
The paper making art was introduced
into both of these lands by the Arabs,
who learned it in Samarcand and
spread it through Europe. 1t was intro
duced into Samarcand in 751 by Chi
nese prisoners from their country,
where 1t had been carried on from ex-
tremely ancient times.

A Hard Luck Tale With n Sting.

1t was not new hard luck tale to
the man to whom it was told. The
young man, neatly dressed and dapper
looking, was not out of work, had not
lost his purse, was not poverty strick-
en- at all, but he had come down from
Rye TO go over to Newark and in
changing his clothes had forgotten to
transfer his pocketbook to the trousers
he put on.
81 hate to ask the favor of stran-
ger" the young man said, but really
it would save me much embarrassment
if you could let me have couple of
dollars until tomorrow"
''Indeed | can't do it," said the man,
for he believed not n word of the tale,
and he left the disconsolate youth at
the postoffice and, meeting a friend,
invited him to luncheon and told him
of his gentleman beggar"
When the waiter handed him a check,
the two had agreed that the story was
highly improbable, but moment later
the doubling man gave start.
by Jovew he exclaimed. 1--WE left
my pocketbook in my other trousers"

Civil Gases on Trial List.

The Commissioners of Montour coun-
ty have received from the State De-
partment, at Harrisburg.a a copy of the
official ballot to be voted at the No
vember election. 1t will be one of the
largest ever known in the state as it
contains nine columns. eight of which
will be taken up by nominations and
one left blank for the insertion of name 5
by the voter, if he so desires.
The decisions handed down last week
at Harrisburg in the Union party aud
other contested election cases enabled
the state authorities to complete their
arrangements and send the ballot to
the commissioners of the different
counties. The nominations will APP
pear on the ballot in this order Re
publican, Democratic, Prohibition,
Socialist Labor, Socialist, Citizens,
Anti Machine and Ballot Reform. The
Montour county ballot, for the county
offices, will contain Republican, Demo-
cratic, Prohibition, and Independent
Republican nominations, the latter be-
ing made necessary by an independent
candidate for County Commissioner.
