True Tale of n Western Lad and n
New York Florist.


Good morning-Mr. wilson, be-

The pleasant voice, the deferential
hat in hand, gave the. speaker a well
come at the desk of the swell florist
that was not always accorded to Wis
itors possessing no business cards.
That's my name, young man. What
can L do for you?" The horticulturist
looked keenly over the young fellows
face and took note of his sturdy figure
and roughly neat clothing.
Il am out of work. sir, and ventured
to ask to see you personally. / need a
job pretty badly-I will do anything

Sorry and the florist looked it,
"but we have no vacancies. This is our
dull season. We laid off several men
last week.
You'll have to excuse me, now" he
added. rising abruptly. II see a par
ticular customer has just come in.
Good morning" and the man hurried
to the front of the shop.
Nine men out of ten would have ac-
cepted defeat and departed than and
there; but this young applicant was
the tenth man.
He fingered with a vague notion that
perhaps he could think of something
to say to the proprietor that would
please him or interest him, and that
would be the opening wedge he need
ed. The florist returned to his desk
presently. Still here, eh?" he said
shortly.
Yes replied the young man. 81 just
waited because-well because people
sometimes change their minds, and I'm
not throwing away even the slimmest
kind of chance"
II have nothing for you" was the
curt answer, and with sort of dig,
nifty in his disappointment the young
chap turned on his heel Before he
reached the door he was hailed:
Just a moment" said the florist.
"do you know anything about orchids Z?

in, who commissions me to secure new
and rare varieties for her and it has
just occurred to me that you might

cult and dangerous"
Let me try''-eagerly-"Ill not stop
for a little danger. If you'll tell me
where to go and what to get, I'll not
come back empty-handed."
The florist admonished the young
man that he had recently lost one of
his best hunters in a Philippine jungle.
He explained the danger, the uncer-
tainty Of reward and the probability
that the head waters Of the Amazon
would furnish the best specimens, II
they could be reached. He would pay

session of a wonderful lot of orchids.
Away up on the rugged cliffs of the
Andes he had gathered the choicest
specimens, delicate blooms that chung

cooled by the snow at night and warm
ed by the tropic rays of the sun dur
ing the day.
No human being had crossed his path
for a full month. He was not sorry
seeing that his last visitors had been
savages who had shot his horse to
death with poisoned arrows along the
river bottom. With saddle, rifle and
hunting knife he had managed to es-
cape, after hanging an ozier crate of
brilliantly beautiful orchids high up in
tree to await his return. He had no
need to mark the spot. The peril of his
adventure had fastened the place in

items to come. With the close, both
theater goers and Manager Seeskind
are to be congratulated. The manage
ment of the theater in Mr.. Seeskind's
hands has unquestionably been the
best that it has ever had, both in a
financial way and for it's patrons. The
season has been one of generous au-
diences. A better class of attractions
has been brought here and the patrons
of the theater have appreciated it by
their patronage.
Mime. Nordica is to rest in New York
for time and then will sail for Eng
land. She has not entirely recovered
from the effects of the railroad acct
dent in which her private car was run
into near Rome a day of two after she
sang in Savannah. She is to sing in
London during the summer, taking the
heavier Wagner parts at Covent Gar
den. bn the autumn she is to sing in
the English musical festivals.
Rejecting comfortably upon her own
valuable property May Irwin sat down
a few days ago to write few lines on
A Stage Career Not Profitable The
Jovial and ingenious May remarks:
On the whole / should say the stage
is not a good business in which a
young man or young woman starting
a career should embark. In any other
business than ours, as the year go ON
the service OF the individual increases
in value, but in this it is just the re-
verse. Actors rarely are provident in
their prosperous days. OF course,
some do save their money, and some
of them retain their popularity with
the public until the end of their days,
but the reverse is the general rule" 1t
is worthy of note, in this connection,
that the report is undenied that Miss
Irwin has, after all, reconsidered her
decision to leave the stage.
George AIDES opera, THE Sultan of
Sulu," according to reliable reports,

ance is to be given on April "a at La

in the raft making. So did the Willow
like reeds from the river. which he
bound into ropes for the lashing of the
saplings. His ride of 1000 miles was
begun one morning with the precious
crate of wood orchids transferred from
its tree cradle to the raft. Twice he
was shipwrecked in the treacherous
rapids of the broad river-and twice he
had to rebuilt his raft. Once his craft
stuck fast on a jutting stump two miles
from shore, but he hung on and was
rescued by a friendly Indian.
From the seaport town. which he
reached at length, he cabled the florist
the news of his success. Thirty days
later. he stood once more before the
desk of Mr.. Wilson. But this time he
left the shop with a permanent en-
gagement-and check for SO, 900.
