NOT A FLOWER.

"The late Frank P. Sargent, the
commissioner of immigration, said a
Washington correspondent, met in
his investigations many quaint char
acters, heard many quaint stories
He pointed out to me one day a
shabby woman of middle age. She
was of Devon, he said. She had immi-
grated some two or three years be-
fore.
"Then, to give me some idea of the
standard of cleanliness that prevails
amongst too many of our immigrants,
he told me a story about this Devon
dame.
"She had little boy of seven or
eight he said, whom she sent to
school day after day in a very un'
kempt state.
"The teacher, finding that to scold
the lad for his untidiness had no eff
feet, wrote to the mother. Her son
was not clean, she wrote. His neg
lected condition was really disgrace
full He had, in fact, a quite unplea.
SAINT odor. And so on.
"The next morning the boy, as dirty
as ever, handed the teacher this note;
My son amt no rose. send hin
to school to be learnt, no smelt."

THE FAILURES.

Kerr Hardie, one of labor's ablest
representatives in the British parlia-
ment, at a dinner Of boilermakers in
New York spoke of success.
Success, they tell u.s." he began,
comes from aiming high. I think it
oftener comes from aiming low, from
aiming within ones scope.
Suppose, for instance, that the av-
erage reporter, aiming high, devoted
his life to the composition of Shake
sperean tragedies CT Miltonic epics-
do you think he would succeed? All,
no."
Mr.. Keir Hardie shook his head and
smiled.
Let us then aim" he said, "at what
we stand some chance of hitting. 1t
is they who strive to leave footprints
in the sands of time who, alas, most
frequently get stuck in the mud"

ELECTION DAY At BANKSA NEW MANDATORY
American Horticultural Distribut
ing Co. in New Role.
WILL MAKE SPRAYING PUMPS
Company Also Building Gas Spraying
Machines Patented by j. VIM.
stewart, Martinsburg.

The American Horticultural Distribu-
ting Co, this city, has embarked in
an enterprise that will not only widen
the sphere Of its usefulness but prac-
tically add new industry to Martins
burg.
This new enterprise is the manu-
facture Of spray pumps and protumna
gas spraying machines, the latter to
be operated with liquid carbonic acid
gas Mr.. j. w. Stewart, superintend-
ent Of the company, is the patentee Of
the machines.
Mr. Stewart informed a reporter OF
The World today that they have al
ready sold about fifty OF the power
machines, even before they issued
catalogues or other printed matter.
They will make the first delivery OF
machines about the middle of this
month, having been working on them
for the last two months or more.
Mr.. Stewart has been working on
this spraying device for the last two
years and now has practically per-
fected it.
Last year this company sold spray
ing machine of another make, but
later the manufacturers became finan-
cially involved. so that now the happy
alternative is presented for the Mar
tinsburg people to place their own
machines on the market.
The spray pumps are made in three
or four sizes and are comparatively
small being suitable for spraying fruit
trees affected by disease in the garden
yard or small orchard. The power
machines, on the other hand, are adap-
ted for large orchards and are of So
100 and $50 gallons capacity
Some Of the work in the manufact-
ure of these spraying machines will
be sublet while the remainder will
be done at the factory at the plant of
the A. H. D. Co. but the finishing and
assembling will all be done there.
This new enterprise has bright
future before it and will be gladly
welcomed among Martinsburg's sub
stantial industries.
