 You should have heard the ladies ex- claim: How do you grow these love ly orchide, MT. H-?''
 "Oh, the kinds I cultivate are as easy as any other plants.
 But don't you have to have a special kind of house?"
 Not for these. You see I have other plants besides orchids
 Well. how does it come that your greenhouse is so comfortable? Don't all those tropical orchids need hot close atmosphere?"
 Not the kinds that grow high up on the mountains"

 ''Yes. those lady-slippers are as easy to grow as a geranium."
 This was where my friend nearly lost his reputation. He was simple-heart- ed man who had early fallen into al way of telling the truth without think ing, and found the habit hard to break after attaining the age of sophistication. He came near shattering the halo of romance with which these ladies had invested the magic word orchid which applies to some of the regal flowers at least, that can be grown in the domestic eenhouse.-Country Life in America

Only few months ago, at the Pen and Pencil Club. in Philadelphia, Gus Buell. was telling a characteristic story of Butler to group of the old timers of the club. Buell. was forever trying to get Butler braced and started anew. But, just as often as he staked Butler to a new suit of clothes, and i'll fact, complete outfit from head to foot, just so certain would Butler make his appearance, day or so later, in an old linen duster and a shocking second hand hat, and no shoes at all worth mentioning, the new outfit being in yariably traded of for the more cover ingup habiliments and the price. Buell. was seated in the dining room at Chamberlin's one morning, taking breakfast, when poor Butler, in the most complete state of disreputability which it is possible for a human being to attain, drifted in. Buell. noded to his frieid, and Butler made him a courtly, if dismally unsteady bow.
 Butler walked over to the mantel and . tucked a fine French clock under his arm. He started for the door with it, without word to Buell..
 George inquired Buell., where are you going with that cloclx?"
 Butler turned around at the door to , answer the question.
 Gus" he said, his face breaking in to the winning smile which the man carried with him to his grave when ! you see John" meaing John Chamber
 lin, one of Buffers most loyal friend, just tell him. will you, that Time is on ! the wing" and then Butler tottered out
 Of the door with the heavy clock ] weighing him down and giving him a
 list to starboard.
 ] After the passing of the old Capital, Buell. remained in Washington for a
 number of years in the interest of the ship-building Cramps, of Philadel- phia, when he removed to Philadelphia
 to assume a more intimate relationship with that firm. After having left off writing for good many years, he
 gained the applause of the world few 1 years ago when his splendid biography
 of John Paul Jones quickly leaped into
 the position of an historical classic. the position of an historical classic.- I Washington Post.

Butler, When Minister to Egypt, Tried to Get the sphink Drunk on Cham
 pagne-some Madcap Eseapades.
 Augustus c. Buell. ('Gus' Buell., to literally hundreds of Washington friends.) who died in a philadelphia hospital the other day, was the last survivor of that singularly brilliant group of writers and bon vivants who 8 quarter of a century ago made the Capital, now defunct, one of the most notable and widely-read of American publications. In that remote day of slap-bang, give-and-take, feuille- Itonistic journalism when the blood princes of genuine Bonemia here in {, Washington addressed themselves to the unraveling of their ideas over sig natures in newspapers, the names of Dom Piatt, George Butler and Gus Buell sang out in the light. Piatt drove the stiletto into the vitals of his .ene- mics. Butler snothered them under an avalanche of poisoned roses, like the Emperor Heliogabalus at the feast of ithe plotters, and Buell. macerated them with a battering ram. But they were lan amiablemen, who only knocked because they happened to be at the ,apogee of their mental powers in a newspaper others atN the top of the list of the individualistic newspaper writers lof their period-a period when every press writer who knew how to be was this own personally conducted Junius, land went up and down the world with a mallet, even if the heart within him was singing with the simple joy of life.
 The hopelessly cratic, not to say in- Icorrigiblc George Butler, was the only lman of that accomplished group who permitted himself to be downed by the environment of the life they all led here in Washington during those famboy- ant years. Butler possessed the best intellect of the lot, but it is well re- i membered how little chance he ever gave himself after he had made the plunge into the tempestuous tide of dis sipation that could have as it did have but one ending-a mournfully prema- ture death, the thought of which made the hearts of his friends ache
 But there was never a chance to dc anything with the talented nephew of Ben Butler. Every notable man in the Washington of his day took hand at trying to reclaim him, and so high souled a woman as Rose Etynge even married him with the vain hope ot bringing him to himself She went with Butler when he was appointed minister to Egypt, and there isn't anything more pathetic than the thought of how this fine-natured woman was compelled to sit sadly by while her dissipation maddened husband, in a Rabelaisiar spirit of irony, undertook to assuage tho Sphynx's thirst of ages by ordering champagne poured down it's throat un. til it should begin to rock drunkenly
 upon it's base.
