at only required eight words once
to give me as severe a jolt as ever
came my way in those early years
when 1 was proud of my first shingle,"
said a well-known Washington mem
Der of the bar, when the talk had
veered around to the subject of trials
and tribulations OF newly made law
yers.
1T happened in the early sos, and,
although l wasn't exactly briefess at
the time, wasn't getting any more
cases than / could handle.
zone day a couple of Texans, both
of them holding good positions at the
Capitol got into an alteration, and
one of them gave the other a savage
trouncing. The victor in the fight, a
huge, breezy man. with a gigantic
spreadseagle mustache, was arrested
for assault and released on bail. A
friend of his was friend of mine, and
this mutual friend, willing to toss
case my way, sent the Texan to my
office for advice. l took his case. He
He didn't appear to be even a little

deavored to impress upon him the diff

hailed from.
The Texan who had lost out in the
fight was pretty badly hurt, and the
grand jury indicted my clieut tor as
sault in the first degree. That looked
pretty bad, and l hunted my Texan
up and told him so.
I'm afraid you are taking this
matter a little too complaisantly,'
said to him. But it's really bad job,
from every point of view. l want to

up and down the room, tugging at his
mustache for a minute. Then he

KEEPING FLOWERS FRESH.

When Properly Washed and Fed the
Blossoms May Last a Month.
"Cut flowers, when properly treat
ed" said Sixth avenue florist, 'can
be made to look fresh for three or four
weeks.
Every night take them out of the
vases and thoroughly rinse the stalks
under faucet, removing with the fin
gers any decomposed matter. Then
put them to bed for the night in a
basin of strong soapsuds, but be care
full not to allow any water to touch the
blossoms The soapsuds supply GER
tain amount &C nourishment. In the
morning rinse the stalks under the
water again, and, as each blossom is
arranged for the day in the vase of
fresh water, snip off a tiny portion of
the stalk with a pair of scissors. AL
ways carefully trim away any faded
part.
Food for the day is supplied by sui
phate Of ammonia, a few drops of
which should be added to the water
put into the vase. At night put the
flowers into some dark, cool place
say a pantry-as it is not good either
for the flowers or the household that
they should remain all the time in the
living-rooms.
ITO revive cut flowers, put them into
warm salt water, to which has been
added a few drops of sulphate of am
monia.
"Cut flowers are constantly sent by
express and through the mails, but sell
dom in such a fashion as to preserve
their bloom and freshness. To effect
this, pack them in light wooden box
lined with cotton or wadding, laying
over this sheet of tissue paper. Then
lay the flowers, not on top of each 9TH
er, but in rows, side by SIDE the BIOS
SONS of each row on the stems of their
neighbors. Pack closely, otherwise the
flowers will be displaced and injured
in the journey. Before packing they
should stand in water for several
hours in order to absorb moisture
enough to keep them from whitening.
1t is not good to sprinkle them too
heavily after they are in the box for
without air this is likely to produce
mildew."

HAPPY DAYS.

1 love the world when the sun shines
Doyn on the quiet ground,
When 1 hear the grass-bugs chirp at my
feet
And the end of a distant sound.
/ love the world when the wind blows,
When it losses M hair about.
When my hat blows off, and my ribbons
crack,
And laugh and run and shout
1 love the world when the rain falls.
When the streets are all mud and ooze.
When 1 need my umbrella and mackin-
tosh.
And my shiny. new overshoes.
j love all of the days of the beautiful
world
Every day, every hour and minute,
/ could go on living forever and never :
Grow weary of anything in it.
