l.. Sherwood, of this city, is n Of
the best hustlers for the sale of nursery
stock there is in this country. During
the last five years he has secured six of
the prizes offered by the firm he is
employed by to the largest number of
sales made by any Of the 700 agents
employed by them. His last prize was
the first prize and was fifty dollars in
cash. One reason for Mr.. Sherwood's,
success as an agent is that the trees and
shrubs that he sells are always right or
he makes them right at the proper time.

gether and steam for eight hours at full
speed without forced draft.
The start was made at 1 o'clock Friday
afternoon from Block Island The Column
bia took the lead from the start. She made
an average speed Of twenty knots and
reached the speed of 2077 during the trial.
The Minneapolis was delayed two hours and
fifteen minutes in coupling the engine for
the triple screw by the failure to release the
jacking engine so as to attach the main
engine. After that was done she ran the
course at the average speed Of 10 knots and
exceeded that for a short time. Her trial
trip record is % knots.
Then the flagship signalled by wireless
telegraph that the race was done and the
two cruisers steamed together down the
coast at a moderate speed. At Winter
Quarter Lightship they were overhauled
by the Prairie. which had made a more
direct course from Block Island at a speed
between 13 and IA knots. Then the vessels
came into Hampton Roads to anchor OF

Bowery, and told a story Of how he was
forced to pay on Saturday, cigar bill OF
SIS by an enterprising Hebrew manu-
facturer.
The cigar mans name is Cohen. The
saloonkeeper's name isn't o Brien, but that's
very close to it and the members Of the
class gave out the story on the promise
that he be called O'Brien.
Cohen for several months had been try.
ing to ollect the bill and when he called
on Saturday afternoon the barkeepers told
him that O'Brien was away.
Il ai1't collecting to-day" said Cohen.
Il want to let O'Brien in on a good thing
On this plea, he finally got to see the saloon
keeper and unfolded his scheme.
Il am going to fail next week. he told
the saloonkeeper. Il have a whole lot Of
cigars in my shop and you can come and
take them away before I fail. I'll put you
the creditors won't find them. You can
sell the cigars and we'll divide
O'Brien agreed and with Cohen went to
the factory and looked over the stock:
None OF the cigars naQ yet Doen DOxeQ ana
Cohen showed him the books certifying to
the character OF the tobacco used in them.
Almost the entire stock was ostensibly
turned over to Brien who did not get q
bill of sale, but who signed a receipt which
Cohen still holds.
O'Brien went back to the saloon in .
Iubilant frame Of mind About an hour
later Cohen rushed into the saloon.

the revenue stamps. The revenue man
will be around before night. Before I
send those cigars to your saloon ! must
pay for the stamps. II don't we'n both
be arrested.
on Cohen's statement that the revenue
stamps would Cost $685. O'Brien gave him
that amount. Some time later he received
letter which read:
