I don't find any signs Of this

OF the standard literature on my

@ The trouble, as we gather from the
latest issue of the Little Already Argus,
began about three weeks ago, when the
startling news leaped out that Ezra
Joyce, superintendent Of the pumping
station, had bought a barrel Of gaso-
line on the villages account, paying
cash for it, and afterwards had served
1t to the village at q profit to himself
Of $l.35. As Editor Denney OF the
Argus declares, in Z double headed edi-
torial, ITO what . spectacle has free
government by the people been per-
verted."
A committee Of inquiry has been ap-
pointed by the village board to investi-
gate the affairs Of the pumping sta
ton, and 1t is broadly hinted that all
other human affairs in Little Already
will be subjected to the same search

WELL-PosTED SERVANTS.
English Butler Who Gave His EN-
ployer's Daughter Hint
on Etiquette.

There Is no parsonage more deeply
and defc.entially aware of his own
importance than the English butler;
next to him in privileges, and ahead
of him in sturdy frankness, muss
stand the Scotch garden sr, says Youths
Companion.
1t was Darwin's gardener who.
when friend Of the family inquired
after the health of the famous nat
uralist, who had been somewhat all
ing, replied confdentially that he did
mot doubt his master would be bet
ter ..if only he could find something to
do!" The patient and minute search
In which he daily saw Darwin en-
gagged struck his mind as merely a
foolish and fussy form Of trifling, not
worthy to be considered an occupa-
tion. II, instead Of bothering about
the digestive capacity !pf worthless in
sectivorous plants, the great man had
grown cabbages or raised roses. the
gardeners opinion Of him would
doubtless have been higher.
The gardener of Prof. Huxley, with
equal Inconsistencies Of doing so.
also cast slur upon his renowned
employer.
Mrs. Huxley, fearful that he might
be overworked, had inquired II he did
not need some assistance.
( NO. came the reply, ''the place Is
not very large, and Mr.. Huxley. Is
almost as good as another man."
Better than either of these true tales
is that CT the butler in fine old
English family, whose long service
had caused him to feel a personal and
proprietary interest in the sons and
daughters OF the house. He could
not acquit himself of sense Of re-
sponsibility for their manners and
conduct, and when at large dinner
party he noticed one of them, young
girl who had but recently entered So
ciety, devote an amount Of attention
to her agreeable neighbor on the
right obviously in excess OF that ac-
corded to the less fascinating gentle
man on her other side, his perturba-

I Literary shoemakers are as disin-
cltned to stick tc their respective lasts
as the proverbial maker of footwear.
Thus Morgan Robertson, who does sea
ta.es very well, prefers to write about
psychic influence and introduce beau
tiful woman in the story. Anyone
thai has seen Mr.. Robertson or a pic
ture Of him will readily understand
how naturally psychology and beauty
would appeal to him. Another writer
who loves to daily with the psychic is
Hamlin Garland; he dislikes to stick
to- ensilo and silage, where his special
gift lies. George Barr McCutcheon has
always had q craving to introduce hu-
man beings in his romances. and has
to be constantly repressed by his pub
ishers, who know how costly the ex-
pertinent Is. Lloyd Osbourne is. af-
flicted with the auto bug. Thomas w.
Lawson's secret ambition is to design
the covers for Everybody's Magazine.

GROWING CHESTNUTs.

One of the most thoroughly cosmo- politan of all edibles Is the common chestnut. to be found in most portions of the United States. Its name is said to be derived from the Greek word "kastana." a city in Asia Minor where the trees fiourished in great profusion, and from whence 1t was told. But we are further informed that it grows profusely in Japan. in Western Asia and Northern Africa, and in other portions of the old world. In our own country 1t four ishes from Maine to California, though it seems not to be as endur- ing in the Gulf States as it is fur ther North. where the nuts form an important article of food and com merce in some sections. By the way we find this item in The New York Mail:
 Of late it has become d cultivated crop. On the hiIlsides of Pennsylvan- ia sprouts of large foreign varieties are grafted on old native stumps and the grovess give food nco%s frod rom what WOulu OtneTWlSc De rOcky ana non productive land. Fertile plains in New Jersey. on ft3 other hand. are planted with seedlings grown In nur- series and instead Of "gro"es" the chestnut crop is harvested from "or- chards' set in regular rows.
 This is an idea which might bc util- izcd much further South .han Penn sylvania. There are many rocky hillsides which are now practically n non productive, but which might be profitable if planted in chestnut trees. Whether the large Itai.an and Span ish varieties would be d success down here may be a matter of doubt. but our climate is more like their native home than Is that of the more North ern St; tes. But even if we could not grow the larger and softer kir ds which we so frequently find in the markets it might be found profitable to cultivate the common varieties. Everybody likes chestnuts and every boy who has ever tried it likes the sport of gathering them. Why should they not be made a cultivated crop as well as some other things?
