Lacked Presence of Mind.

In the criminal court In Baltimore a darky was on trial for stealing a watch which he had pawned He was identified by the owner as the person who had grabbed the watch out of his pocket, yet the darky claimed he was innocent. When asked how he came in possession of the watch, he said
 Il was standing on the corner when a man comes up to me and says he is hard up and hasn't cent to buy food with, and he wants to sell me this watch for three dollars. I knew could get four dollars on it in pawn, and l felt sorry for him and bought the watch for three dollars and pawn ed it for four dollars That's how got the watch
 The prosecutor then asked, if he had bought the watch for three dol lars, knowing he could pawn it for four dollars, simply to help the man along because he felt sorry for him. why he did not advise him to pawn it himself and then he would have had four dollars instead of three dollars.
 Well, you see" said the prisoner. 'I didn't have the presence of mind to do dat. "-Judge's Library.

Bulb Farms of MarshIapd

The vast industry hitherto associat. ed almost exclusively with Holland is gaining foothold in Great Britain that is promising for the agricultural depression there. It is said that the climate of Holland is just like the eli mate of England only worse.
 In the fen district of Lincolnshire there are many acres of land devoted to the growing of narcissi, and so sue cessful has the industry become that several Dutch growers have paid Eng land the compliment of buying their stock bulbs in that country. while others are said to have considered seriously the advisability of purchas- ing land in Lincolnshire for the grow ing of bulbs ss as to compete with the Englishman in his own land
 An acre of wheat or potatoes in England is worth from sS0 to S1OO. but an acre of choice daffodils or narcissi may be worth anything from $250 to s2.0OO and more.

TWO WHO WERE NOT HAZED.
West Pointers Escaped Usual Fate of
 Freshmen"

John P. Sullivan, of New Orleans. grand esquire of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, is one of the few men who as a student at West Point was never successfully hazed.
 Col. Sullivan-by virtue of the Span ish war, as he did not remain in the army after leaving the military acade- my-stands six feet two inches in his stocking feet and is built in .propor- tion. The story goes that when a mob of fellow West Pointers attempted to practice on him the usual dlabolical arts reserved for new arrivals in the old days. the young man from Louis jana submitted counter proposal. I'm willing to be hazed all right, if you fellows are equal to the job" he said, but 1 must insist on your com ing one at time That looked easy, but was not. The hazers came on one at time and rumor has it that Sulli- van whipped F of them to a standstill before making them see the futility of further attacks. After that he was not molested.
 West Point annals contain record of at least one other man who was not hazed. He is Capt. Beaumont B. Buck, of the Sixteenth infantry. His meth ods were not the same as Sullivans, however. He warned the hazers not to attempt to enter his room, and when they tried to rush him he fired on them with results by no means pleasant to one young man. This was while he was still a student at a pre- paratory school near West Point.
