J. NJ. Barrie, the popular novelist and playwright, glorified tobacco more than once, but on a certain occasion he tried to induce smoker to desist. It happened thus:
 Mr. Barrie returned to his rooms one day and discovered his page boy puff ing hard at dirty clay pipe.
 My boy,' said the novelist, it is very bad for you to smoke that coarse black twist. You will make yourself old before your time."
 And so he went on till he had deliv- cred long and what he believed to be a telling lecture. A day or two later the youth left without giving notice. and shortly afterward MT. Barrie brought some friends to his flat Prom ising them special treat, he went to a cabinet where he kept store of very choice cigars. You can imagine his chagrin when he discovered that the cigars had vanished, and in thci; place was the page boys clay pipe and the following note:
 Dear Sir--I agree with you that it is bad for a boy to smoke twist. l will not smoke any more twist till have finished your cigars.

Some Animals In Winter.

The ptarmigan, a member of the grouse family, is in summer mottled with black and a rich fluffy brown, but in winter it becomes pure white The snowy owl and the snow buntings that come to us from the far north have whitish plumage that blends har- moniously with the prevailing white ness of the landscape. But perhaps the most interesting example of all is the weasel, whose fur in the summer has a peculiarly soft shade of reddish brown, but in the winter is pure white except at the tip of the tail. It is probable that this black point is useful to its owner in diverting the attention of carnivorous bird or of beast of prey, as the black spot is more readily seen than the white body of the an imal. It is said, too, that if the tip Is covered with snow the whole weasel becomes clearly visible and that if the first snowfall is later than usual 1t is claimed by some naturalists that the color change is delayed accordingly. The turning white takes place when most needed-St. Nicholas.

Dahlia.

EDITOR Floral Department.
The Dahlia is at home in South
Florida. They are the MOST perfect
summer blooming plant THAT I have
in my collection, and Hlle admiration
of all who see them. Secure THE bulbs
i'm February and plant lin boxes until
growth begins, then set in rich soil
where THE sun gets to- them all tfle
day, and keep we'll watered and 1.-THE
bloom will be grand from middle of
April to August, and in such variety
and style THAT THEY attract all flower
lowing people that see them.
The style and form are in great
variety, from pure white to deep red
and notified and from single ito full
double, variegated mottled pink of the
richest color. The Daflia revels i'm
the hot SUN of Florida, and the bloom
is SO abundant THAT ONE may cut flow
.ers every day for three months. A
dozen bulbs will give more satisfaction
than amy other ONE variety of plant

(Besrdes growing them from tubers,
which are expensive, THE single vari-
cities are easily grown from seed sown
in boxes early in spring. The double
varieties ARE also easily grown from
seed, but the result is much more url-
certain That is, the seedlings are
quite liable to be only semi -double and

Spirit Of Beauty.

"To those who are verify awakened
to the great words of truth and beauty,

around us is tannely wearisome. Not
a landscape lies dreaming in the sum

with more fiery sense of beauty I'M
til their vision often swinis with tears
of gratitude for existence, and THE
heart is ready to break with weight

and the things to be grown in it must
be determined by the desire of the

If sown for hay, sow five pecks to

in drills, one peck to the acre. If
ground is good, the yield should be
from two ITO three tons per acre. If
hay is wanted, cut before the seeds

good soil, it makes an astonishing

Hovenia Dulcis.

Why is NOT this tree, which conn
bInes good fruit and handsome foliage,
more common in this state? We saw
it ON THE grounds Of the late a. l. Bid
we'll, near Orlando, twenty years ago.
Reasonler Bros. say I'm their catalogue
THAT it can be grown along the G1lf
coast. But, as will be seen from THE
following article, from THE Florist s
Exchange, it is hardy |as fair north as
Philadelphia. If So it ought Ito be
hardy in any part 'of Florida Joseph
MeeIhan says of 1t:
A Japanese tree introduced Ito tllls
country some thirty years or more ago,
is the HoVenia dulcis Not mitch is
known Of Fhis tree by our gardeners,
and this may be PARTLY accounted for
by THE fact THAT it is NOT sufficiently
hardy Ito stand the rigors of the colder
States. 1t is hardy about Pf1iladel
phia, and NO doubt lit will stand the
winters north ,of tl1laIt city. There are
some quite large specimens i'm Bucks
County, Pa, ais we'll as in the city Of
Philadelphia, but the specimen illrs
trated is growing i'm the White Lot,
near tihe Presidents grounds, Wash
ington, D. c. It lis crowded rather

The feature OF the meeting of the Hills
dale Citizens Association held last night
at the Campbell Avenue NJ. E. Church,
Hillsdale was an address delivered by
Henry B. F. Mcfarland, president of
the Board of Commissioners. in which he
urged the citizens to support the Commits
sioners in efforts to improve the city and
TO pay no attention to "kickers." Send
the kickers and knockers to the rear Mr..
mcfarland said. land let the whole line
advance to victory"
He declared that the Commissioners can
only be successful by havin- the good
will. confidence and cooperation of the
citizens they represent. 1--WE are your
representatives" he said. 1--WE want to
come to see you and have you come to
see us. We cannot otherwise know your
wants. although We may know some of
your needs. We show no preferences and
know no cliques, but treat all citizens
alike. Elsewhere you would have to have
to have pull with some political boss to
get anything. We can win by team work.
We shall fail if divided.
Just now the Commissioners are work.
ing early and late upon one Of their most
important tasks, the preparation of the
annual estimates of appropriations They
and recommendations Of District services,
amounting perhaps to 100000 600. All
cannot be adopted by the Commissioners,
but all that are necessary will be, and
there will be ample funds provided Con-
gress distinguishes as the Commissioners
will, between extraordinary and current
expenditures. so that the former may be
paid gradually, and the latter will not
have to be cut in the attempt to do what
is not done anywhere else, pay for extraor-
binary DrOjects of imDrOyemant iTpmed-
lately out of current revenues.
when the Commissioners, after hear
ing from all interested. determine on their
recommendations to Congress. they ex-
pect the support of all citizens. Some are
especially interested in one thing, and
some In another But all should stand
together for all that the District asks,
What we have secured in the past seven
years. and 1t is remarkable record of
success. is due to united and harmonious
effort, and we shall have like success in
the future IL we continue to pull to-
gether."

night when he met two coiored men near

was walking along the street when he
first saw the two men. One of them
stopped and picked up a purse containing
$50 bill
One of the men called Cunningham
aside; told him they knew he had seen
them pick up the money. and said they
would divide with him. Cunningham gave
his timapiecc and money in connection
with changing the bill.
You just wait here until you hear one

man was told. You will then know that
