The LOST

1'Eh
1t Is Monday morning. Down the
street hurTies Il stylishly dressed
woman.
Why does she hasten so? Why that
look Of intense excitement in her eyes?
Is she going to the office of her lawyer.
there 10 hear the will OF her favorite
uncle read? Or is she fastening to the
bedside of the dying? No; non Of
these. She pulls a newspaper out Of
her pocket and reads again the an
nouncement Of the wonderful bargains
10 be had at the department store.
She rushes frartlcally into the store.
Yes; she can see before her the rem
nant of pongee silk which Is selling at
pnly - cents a yard. What a crowd
Of excited women are clustered about
the prize.
She forces her way into the thickest
Of the crowd. She Is tossed this way
and that. She cares not. Her hat Is
pulled off and walked on by the half
crazed mob. She cares not. She
teaches the counter. Ten yards only
Of the silk is left.
81 will take it," she says, just in adj
vance of four other women, all reach
Ing for the coveted prize.
The clerk says, 1T is yours" The
woman feels for her purse. She has
left il at home.
The other women exult. They buy
the pongcc. The wonderful bargain Is
gone. The bargain day is over. There
will be no more bargain sales for one

mcd.umly successful admitted can
idly not long ago that nj the very last
moment never, never would she have
married her husband had il not been

the woman, 1--WE had the most awful
kind of n row that made me vow in.

Then at the thought of the ceremony
to come Off at a friends house, the
breakfast that, thanks TO her, was pre-
pared and the invited guests, and how
they would all talk at any change OF
plan, | grit my teeth and went through

To DMnrf Trees.

To dwarf trees as the Chinese do you
must follow their methods. They take
a young plant. say n Seeding or a cut
ting Of cedar when two or three inches
high, cut off its taproot as soon as II
has enough other rootlcts to live upon
and replant it in a shallow pot or pan,
allowing the end Of the taproot to rest
upon the bottom Of the pan. Alluyial
clay nodded TO the size of beans and
just sufficient in quantity TO furnish a
scanty nourlshment is then put into
the pot. Water, heat and light are per-
mltted on the same basis.
The Chinese also use various me-
chanlcal con~trivances to promote SYM
metry Of growth. As, owing to the
shallow pots, both top and roots are
easily accessible. the gardener uses the
pruning knife and the soaring iron
freely, so that the little tree, hemmed
on every side. eventually gives up the
unequal struggle and, contenting itself
with the little life left, grows just
enough to live and look well.

Great Memories.

Otto Schultze. n stenographer, wrote
In the Brandenburg Schulblatt that
Bismarck had a wonderful memory.
"When he had delivered a two hours
speech and looked over u shorthand
reports the next day, he remembered
every expression he had used exactly
and did not forget them for years"
The novelist Spielhagen once told
Schultze that he could recall wildly
every one OF the thousands Of persons
he had met in his life and every word
spoken by casual acquaintances, to-
gether with their gestures and the cut
Of their hair and clothes.
