A Free agent.

Although the old gentleman with
. red face and choleric temper had
opened the car window Ave times
with much vigor, he had found it
closed every time he walked from
his doze.
he felt perfectly sure that the
person to blame was the man be-
hind him, who gave vent to a stiaed
groan each time the window was
opened. At last the choleric gentle
man turned in his seat.
"Sir," he said Indignantly, "you
are evidently one of those persons
who cannot bear fresh air, but may
1 ask you who controls this window,
the person beside it or the one be-
hind it?"
"If you could stay awake few
minutes" responded his neighbor,

can control that window, sir-not

The dogwatch on shipboard is
either of the short spells from 4 to
6 o'clock in the evening or from 6
to 8 to break the monotony Of the
regular four hour watches, so that
the same men will not stand watch
during the same hours every Gay.
If, however, you should ask the mos!
nautical person Of your acquaint-
ance or, indeed, all the nautical peo-
pie you know why this is so called,
you would probably find them un-
able to tell you. The true answer
is this: Dogwatch is corruption
of dodge watch. The dogwatch was
introduced to prevent the same men
from always keeping watch the same
hours of the day; hence on these oc-
easions the sailors are said to dodge
the routine or to be doing dodge

decide whether it were q sjngularly
turnipy potato or a remarkably po-
tatoey turnip, and whichever It vas
she did not like it. She summoned
the cook, and inquiry presently re-
vealed, to her dismay, that it was
neither, but some of her choicest
cactus dahlias, innocently mistaken
for a Vegetable.
The error was less disastrous than
she famous one of the Dutch house
keeper who during the prevalence

tally boiled for orio1s handful Of
tulip bulbs worth a fortune. But it
was certainly ve1atious as well as
funny.
According to historic tradition,
the original introduction of the dah-
liza into England occurred through
an error exactly opposite in charac-
ter. It was imported for vegeta-
bic and turned out a flower.
A little over a century ago, so the
story runs, Lady Holland. travelling
in the south of Europe, was regaled
upon a soup Of delicious favor,
which her hostess informed her was
called Palestine SOUP" because its
chief ingredient was the Jerusalem
artichoke.
Lady Holland, always on the
alert for interesting novelties, Or
dered root Of the artichoke to be
sent to her gardener at Holland
House. This was done, as every
body supposed, but " the strong
shoots, thrusting up ooldly in the
vegetable garden, and, tended under
the watching eyes Of gardener, cook
and great lady. arrived at maturity
and bloome1, they bore . new and
splendid flower, inedible, but glori-
Gus.
The plant was transferred to the
parterre and became the pride Of
the garden, although at first Lady
Hollands feelings were mixed. for
che did not like to lose her "Pales-
tine soup" But when a London
scotsman came to look at il and Of
fered 80 guineas for the root her
last trace Of disappointment vanish

ute, which was soon passing from
lip to lip through the fashionable
drawing rooms Of London, added
the final touch to her satisfaction.
Lord Holland, who had a pretty
taste in verse, wrote gallantly:
The dahlia you brought to our Isle
Your praises forever shall speak
In gardens a. sweet ~ your smile
And colors a. bright a. your cheek.

In the matter Of the G65las Tie kl'
legation of the members of the board
cannot be proved authentic BY any
authority whatever. The bonding
company petitioned for relief upon
charges made aud sustained BY the
clerk and an honest member of the
board. The clerk seeks no sympathy
whatever in this affair and only that
equitable jnstice due him as unit
of the Williamsburg public and
righteous sustenance Of the charges
which he felt duty bound to make
and which are consistent with the
records in the Office of the board
No charges are made of irreg ulari-

There is no authority that newbends
