On one Of the principal streets Of st.
Petersburg stands little shop in
whose windows are samples Of artin-
cial flowers. 1t Is kept actually by
Ivan Ivanoyitch. though 1t really ex-
fists by virtue Of bis daughter Katia.
Katia not only makes the flowers, but
does the selling. when customer en-
ters, the old man. who is usually sit
ting In the front Of the shop reading
newspaper. rises, bustles forward.
asks what is wanted, goes behind the
tiny counter and opens the cases. all
the while appearing to be full Of bust
ness. But 1t IL not long before no
calls, "Katia, have we any tulipsT

"Katia. what became Of those crysan-
themums1v Then Katia goes and
takes charge OF the customer.
One day a coach stopped before the
shop, a footman respondent in purple
and gold, with white silk stockings,
opened the coach door, and lady
alighted and came into the shop. The
old man met her; but, without reply
ing TO hts question as to how be could
serve her, she said:
II am told by enc who has bought
artificial flowers here that you have a
daughter who makes tham.n
Katia came forward.
$50 you are the girl" said the lady,
''of whom my friend, Mime. voronka,
has spoken OF to me SO feelingly. She
has not oyerpraised your eyes nor the
kindness Of your expression. It does
not indicate one born TO do great
deeds; rather one born TO love ones
fellow beings Mime. voronka tells
me, too, that your flowers are as lovely
"a yourself"
Katia, wreathed In smiles at such
delicious happening, brought forth her
wares, and the lady bought plentiful
supply. 'I'n take this, and these, and
those, and that one over there" she
said, until she had purchased nearly
an armful. "Send them, or, rather,
bring them to me tomorrow at In the
evening

door closed behind the lady, II feel

A singular expression came over the
old mans face but no said nothing to
his daughter.
The next afternoon Katia took the
flowers to the lady. She did not re-
turn till nearly o'clock and when she
did was full OF enthusiasm about her
patron. 'Oh, father" she exclaimed,
sswhom do you suppose she is? No
less a person than the wife OF the min
ister OF the interiorl And the order
she gave mel I'm TO carry her 10
rubles' worth Of flowers once every
weekF'
The first OF these statements the
man received without surprise; the sec
ond arrested his attention.
one day when Katia was making up
her flowers to take TO her patron her
father said:
"Katia, the lady has been so good to
as that we should show our apprecia-
ton. l have been thinking how we
can best do so and have concluded
there can be no better way than for
you to make a special bouquet Of your
flowers and present them to her hus-
band, the minister"
ooh, father, would not that be de-

Must Whip Consumption

There is an indOminatable spirit in
the educational crusaders of the Wiscon-
sin Anti-TuberculOsis association which
earns respect and compels attention
Last week in Manitowoc, where the exhi-
bition put in a week of crusade work,
the executives of the association were
not content with reaching merely those
who came to the exhibits. 1t is we'll
known that the people who can be most
benefited by the lessons that consump-
tiOn is durable and preventable are the
ones least likely to avail themselves of
their opportunity. 1t was for this rea-
son that arrangements were made with
the proprietors of the moving picture
theatres to allow the associations repre-
sentative. Mr.. Sandberg, to go before the
audiences between shows. Large num-
bers of people were thus reached who
otherwise would not have been. "N0t
wireless, not kid glove combat, but hand
to hand fighting" is the Wisconsin
slogan

About Mushrooms

In order to have something to occupy
his time, Mr.. s. M. Eaton is engaged in
raising mushrooms along scientific lines
for which purpose he has thoroughly
posted himself, and can talk mushroom
as long and inteligently as any one in
terested in the cultivation Of the vegeta-
BILE. He has two beds in his cellar at 4l2
Washington street, the temperature be-
ing kept at uniform standard of 60 de-
grees. He uses a manufactured spawn,
which comes in cakes about 10X14 inches,
and is very dry and when 1t is planted,
it is broken off III small pieces and placed
in the ground, and in about three weeks
there are mushrooms ready to be gath
cred and will continue to bear from the
original spawn planted for about three
months. While one bed is bearing the
other bed is being made ready for
planting. The earth used will become
nOn-productive in a couple of years and
new earth must be substituted. The
editor of the Leader was the recipient Of
bountiful supply of the product of one
of Mr.. Eaton's mushroom beds and he
and his family are alive and can testify
that they were mighty fine and fear,
that Mr.. Eatons generosity has created
an appetite which will demand more to

The little Welsh church building at
the corner of North Washington and
Cady streets. used temporarily as a
school room, by the city, was greatly i'm
proved during the past summer. The
lot was filled up, concrete sidewalks CON
structed in front on North Washington
street and on the north side on Cady
street and the building repaired and
nicely painted, which has added much
to its appearance. The little church on
the corner, was one of the first to be
erected in the city and was for years,
the gathering place on Sundays for our
Welsh speaking people to worship God
according to the faith of their fathers.
But few remain of the original worship
pers and the younger element, those
born in this country, worship with other
congregations, preferrlng the English to
the Welsh language. The church and
congregation has an interesting history
and the editor of the Leader would be
pleased to publish it, if some one would
furnish him the data and facts connected
with its history. 1t would no doubt be
interesting history for those of the origi-
nal band now living, and the descend
ants of those who have crossed the great
divide between time and eternity.

Agriculture Short Course

Judging will be better owing to the in

than ever. The instruction in agri-
cultural chemistry and bacteriology,

eering and library practice is offered
with various improvements in instruc-
ton. Practical shop work in black

by those who desire some working

Short course graduates are in de-
mand as assistants on stock farms
and in various other lines of agricul-
ture. Those who have taken the

has been increased many times, due

Something About Oysters

A cry has been raised against watered
oysters, by which the public is defrauded
out of half to two-thirds, for which
they pay. Ice is put into the oyster cans
it melts, and then more ice is put in
until all that is left is water-that is,
where they are shipped in the bulk and
the strength of the oyster is gone and no
good. 1t is surprising how kindly the
public submits to imposition in the mat
ter of food. 1t pays two prices and then
only gets, in most cases, only inferior
articles. The state food and dairy COM
missioner is doing good work and it is
to be hoped that he will drive all impure
foods out of the market.

Thanksgiving Proclamation
BY the president of the United State

By the president Of the United States
Of America:
A PROCLAMATION.
The season of the year has returned
when, in accordance with the reverent
custom established by our fOrefathers
the people of the United States are wont
to meet in their usual places Of worship
on a day of Thanksgiving appointed by
God for the great mercies and benefits
which they have enjoyed.
During the last year we have been
highly blest. No great calamities or
flood or tempest or epidemic sickness
have befallen us. We have lived in
quietnCss, undisturbed by wars or ru-
mors of wars. Peace and the plenty Of
bounte0us crops and OF great industrial
production animate cheerful and res0-
lutte people to all the renewed energies
of beneficient industry and material and
moral progress. 1t is altogether fitting
that we should humbIy and gratefully
acknowledge the divine source of these
blessings.
Therefore, / hereby appoint Thursday,
the twenty-tifth day of November, as a
day of general thanksgiving, aud [ call
upon the people on that day, laying
aside their usual vOcations, to repair to
their churches and unite in appropriate
services of praise and thanks TO
Almighty God.
In witness whereof / have hereuntO
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington 5his
fifteenth day of November, in the year
of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred
and nine, and of the independence of
the United States the one hundred and
thirty-fourth.
