One 10 Dead, Another 10 Blind, and the
Third 10 Gone Elsewhere.
One of the guests of the Gerard
Hotel, Philadelphia, who was slightly
behind in the matter of his bill,
went to the cashiers desk, made O
small payment on account, gave gilt
tering promises Of future payments
and got an extension for the balance.
Then the cashier called his attention
to q newly painted sign, which read:
"What Happened to Three Of Our
Guests

Saturday, if l live He's dead.
The second. He said, 'I'll see
you Saturday, He's blind.

and create new offices for democrats,
and by putting off things that have

legislature can easily make big

miracles in my business. For in
stance, I can grow you lettuce while
you wait-sweet, crisp lettuce that
you may eat for your dinner with the
broiled spring chicken.
II do it IL this way: l take a hand
full of lettuce seeds that have been
soaked over night in alcohol, and l
plant them in a box containing three
inches Of loan and quicklime. I water
this soil, and in ten minutes the seeds
burst.
"They burst, and in 20 minutes two
tiny leaves push through the earth.
The leaves grow and multiply. In half
an hour they are as big as a half dol
lar. Then you may pluck and eat
them. They are delicious fairy
salad.
"Somtimes, when I give a dinner
party, l have one of these little pre-
pared. lettuce beds in the center of
the table. The guests see the lettuce
grow, and when the time comes. for
the salad course there is their salad
blooming before them, all ready for
them to pluck"

To Balance,

For more than a week the teacher
had been giving lessons on the dog,
and so when the inspector came
down and chose that very subject
there seemed every prospect of the
class distinguishing itself on brilliant
essays about our canine friend.
Things were progressing quite salts
%factorily, and the master was con
graduating himself on the trouble he
had taken, when, alas! a question was
asked which made him tremble for
the reputation of his scholars.
"Why does a dog hang his tongue
out of his mouth?" asked the in
spector.
Eyes, my boy?" he said, to a bright
looking lad who held up his hand,
while the light of genius was in his
eye.
please, SIR" cried the pupil. "it's
to balance his tall"
And the teacher groaned in an.

TO THE CHEERFUL VAN.
His Praises Sung In Cheerful Tone by
Cheerful Mr.. knozzleton.

II like the cheerful man." said Mr..
K~nozzleton, "the man who refuses to
be cast down, but takes always a
cheerful view.
"tD'you ever see such weather as
this? says the dismal man, YEARLY,
shedding more sultriness all around.
"'Did you feel that breeze?' says
the cheerful man, smiling, and as a
matter of fact there was the faintest
flicker of a movement in the air just
at that moment. and he caught it,
because he is receptive to all good
things; and he magnified it to all his
hearers by his breezy cheerfulness.
"The cheerful man for me every
time-he makes life worth living;
and I like especially to see him
around in hot and humid weather.
But he's helpful at all times.
$50 many people are so easily de-
pressed; good people, but with only a
narrow margin of courage; so that if
any little thing goes wrong they
think that everything's going to
pieces and the world is coming to an
end, but then
"'Pooh!' says the cheerful man,
what's that?' and he actually laughs
at this little picayune trouble, and
just brushes it away and forgets it,
making the faint hearted to laugh
and forget it, too; and in time he
may bring the easily discouraged
man to acquire the blessed habit OF
laughing at all the petty troubles
that pop out at us On the road of
life, and so driving them away, in.
stead Of gloomily letting them climb
on him to ride on his back. Good
man to have around is the cheerful
man.
81 haven't caught a fish to-day,
says the disappointed man in the
fishing party, and you'd think from
his general castdownness that catch
ing fish was the main object of life
and that if you didn't catch any, life
was a failure.
"'Well, I haven't caught any
either says the cheerful man, but
I've had a darned good time and I've
caught an appetite like a team Of
horses, and what I want now is tt
get back to where they cook those
bluefsh the way they cook 'em here
and if I don't eat II of 'em I miss my
guess Does the cheerful man perl
up the whole party? Why, sure; anc
when they've got a few of those blue
fish inside of them they all think
they've had a great time"

Survivors of Seminole War.

The Seminole war was put down 70
years ago. At Watrous, N. M. there
is a venerable and worthy patriarch
named Madison Horn, whose neigh
jbors boast that he is the sole survivor
of the Florida war. He is 88 and as
spry as a cricket. At West Palm
Beach, Fla, there is a certain Judge
Andrew Jackson ~Lewis-born in
South Carolina, by the way-who
bears honorable scars as the result Of
wounds received while he was fight
ing as a private in the ranks of a
South Carolina regiment against the
Seminoles. Judge Lewis is SO, and
although he fought four years in the
confederate army he looks strong and
active enough to shoulder his gun
again and keep step to the drums
tap.

Remedies for Affections.

Dissipation of mind and length OF
time are remedies to which the great.
est part of mankind trust in their af.
fictions. But the first of these works
a temporary, the second a slow, effect
and such are unworthy of a wise man.
Are we to fly from ourselves that we
may fly from our misfortunes, and
only to imagine that the disease is
cured because we find means to get
some moments of respite. from pain?
Or shall we expect from time, the
physician of brutes, a lingering and
uncertain deliverance? Shall we wait
to be happy till W. can forget that
we are miserable, and owe to the
weakness of our faculties a tranquilli-
ty which ought to be the effect of
their strength? Far otherwise. Let
us set all u past and present Attic.
tons at once before our eyes. Let
US resolve to overcome them, instead
of flying from them, or wearing out
the ems of them by long and igno.
minious patience: Instead Of palliat-
ing remedies, let us use the incisive
knife and the caustic, search the
wound to the bottom, and work an
immediate and radical cure.-Lord
Bolingbroke (~1678-1751).

VILLAGE in ITSELF
COMPLETENESS OF RICH MANS
COUNTRY HOME.
All the Necessities and Most Of the
Luxuries Of Life Are Afforded
Him Within His Own
Domain.

In buying land for a city house the
millionaire deals with square feet;
but for a country mansion he pur-
chases a tract of so many square
miles. This extensive scale is car
ried through in all the arrangements.
When the estate is ready for occu-
pancy the owner finds himself lord
Of a beautiful acreage, contributing
to his ever luxurious want-all from
it's W resources.
To plan a country house is almost
like planning to build a village. The
large estate is a very complete af-
fair, indeed. Its center is the house,
which must be large enough to not
only properly accommodate the own
er and his family, but it must contain
suites of rooms for the numerous
guests with which it will be filled for
the week-ends and for longer periods.
The stable and the carriage-house are,
in their way, quite Is necessary as
the dwelling. Many a great stable
vies with the residence in size and
elegance of equipment. If the estate
is a large one, covering many acres,
there Is a farmhouse for the farmer,
a farmbarn and outbuildings in which
each particular industry of the farm
will have it's own headquarters. If
the owner is. addicted to polo, there
is a third and complete stable for the
ponies. There is a chicken-house for
the chickens and other fowls, and,
if this feature is sufficiently devel-
oped, a special residence for the per.
son having this matter in charge.
Dogs, if kept in ample variety, will
have well appointed kennels and a
c%aretaker's house in close proximity.
There is a dairy, with perhaps a
springhouse and cooling room for the
milk, and tiled-lined rooms in which
the butter will be made. The mar
ket garden has it's array of hot-beds,
and the Conservatives in which rare
plants are raised for the decoration
of the house are as extensive as those
In which plants are p%ropagated for
the outdoor gardens. Nor should the
automobile house be overlooked, since

the horse in meeting the needs of the
house transportation; and, as likely
as not a repair shop forms a neces-
sary adjunct to it.
Buildings that minister to the phys
ical necessities of the estate are also
numerous. Every sequestrated es-
tate-and almost all country estates
are sequestrated, since that is an
item of value in living in the country
requires its own water supply. 1t
is needless to say that it is often a
most expensive feature, calling not
only for steam pumps and elaborate
piping, but for special reservoirs
which in their developed form will be
lined with enameled brick.-Broad-
way Magazine.

Autoqraphs and Holooranhs.

IAN autograph" said an antiquary,
lis worth nothing, while a holograph
may be worth $1,000 or more. An au-
tograph of a mar is his simple sigma
ture. His Telegraph is one of his
signed letters, and it's value depends
on it's interest.
Some men are such fools that they
think autographs valuable and holo.
graphs worthless.
II know a man who found in his
g~randfather's chest a lot of important
letters of Franklin, Washington, Aaron
Burr, Hamilton, Andre and Jefferson.
He read these letters; then he burnt
them, first cutting out the signatures.
For the signatures he got SO cents
apiece or thereabouts. For the letters
in their entirety he would have gotten
from $500 to $500 apiece.
by this loss of about $4,000 the
man learned the difference between an
autograph and a holograph."
