CANNON ON THE FOURTH

GEORGE, will you be on duty tomorrow"
This was asked of George Winters, the
veteran elevator conductor of the House of
Representatives, at Washington, on the af-
ternoon of July g. 1909.
Il shall certainly not be on duty to-mor-
row" he replied, and for the good and suf-
fcient reason that if l should be on duty to-
morrow it would be my last day on duty l
should be discharged, if reported for duty
tomorrow"
Quit your Joking ambiguity, George"
was the reply, and write out diagram of
your joke. What does it mean?"
1t means business, " said George. Speak
er Cannon was here little while ago, and l
He told me it was none of my business; but
said he would like to know why asked the
question, and l said:
If you are to be here, Mr.. Speaker, l
shall be here to run the elevator; but if you
will not be here. l shall 60 on picnic down
the Potomac River
Well you 60 on the picnic then, said
the Speaker. If am here shall run up
stairs. I'm only seventy-three years young
But l replied that, if he was to be here,
I'd surely be here, and not let him run up
stairs. Then he put his hand on my Shout
der, and said:
"'George, mean business when tell you
that if you come here tomorrow, and spend
your Fourth of July in this building, merely
to carry me up stairs if happen to come
here, l shall discharge you not only for dis
obedience of orders. but for being fool
So you see, of course" said Winters,
that must not be here on the Fourth of
July, or the Speaker might keep his word
and discharge me for those two reasons"

THE SUNNY SIDE OF A TREE

IN Charleston, South Carolina, the writer
came across man transplanting palmetto
trees in public square. He noticed that each
tree had a small white string tied to one
leaf frond. Not seeing how such a thing
could identify any particular tree, as all the
strings were exactly similar, he asked what
they were for He was informed that before
the tree was dug up a string was tied to the
part facing the morning sun, so that when
the tree was replanted it could be placed
with the same face to the east; that pal
metto tree would die if transplanted in any
other manner.
Is it possible that in all tree transplanting
this rule is followed? 1t certainly is not nee
essary in plants of one or two seasons exis-
tence. The reason apparently is not hard to
understand. If plant gets used to having
one side warmed first every morning for sew
eral years, its sap there consequently ex-
banding and becoming quickened, it is ex-
tremely probable that certain automatic &C
tons are set up that require the same routine
for good working. However, no explanation
of the phenomenon can be recalled.

WHAT. NAPOLEON COULDN'T DO

A N incident connected with Napoleon
= when he was in exile at Elba is COM
memorated on the island to this day by an
inscription affixed to the wall of peasants
house.
A man named Giaconi was blowing, when
the famous exile came along one day and
expressed an interest in his work. Napoleon
even took the plow handles and attempted
to guide it himself; but the oxen refused to
obey him, overturned the pillow, and spoiled
the furrow.
The inscription runs thus:
Napoleon the Great, passing by this
place in MDCCCXIV., took in the neighbor-
ing field plow from the hands of peasant
and himself tried to plow; but the oxen, re-
bellious to those hands which yet had guild
ed Europe, headlong fled from the furrow."

Each seemed to feel that any word in that

had palpitated extremes of love and hate,
and in which for a moment they had taken

A beautiful structure and one In
which the people Of Paonia take
great pleasure in showing to their
friends and the picture OF which has
been circulated more largely than
any other church in the Rocky noun
fains.
The building OF a church so costly
was considered a very uuwise ven
ture especially when undertaken by
n congregation Of so few members as
compose the Christian church at Pa
onia but the work was carried on
against fearful odds until Mr.. Hester
broke down and was compelled to
give up the work with many bills
outstanding. Mortgages came due.
Liens were filed and Judgments rem
dered and the property was adver-
tised for sale. 1t looked impossible
for the little congregation To see
their way out but fortunately there
was one OF the congregation who
was able to occupy the pulpit and
thus relieve the church of the neces-
sity OF being without n pastor. The
church membership naturally turned
To this member. Charles q. Stout
and asked him to become their pas
tor. He having made special pre-

having given several years to that
character Of work and having been
unusually successful In IL had refused

He was engaged at fifty dollars a
week and had much more than he
could do at that price and often
higher wages. MIR. Stout cancelled
his engagements and began the work
with the Paonia church January LIST,

merely the preacher but started III
with all his might To do every thing
possible to put the church on a GOOD
financial basis and has been quite
successful.
There are new people being added
to the church membership each week
and all departments of the work be
ing built up. The congregation ~

known that In the cold nights oil

that house repeatedly with his fur

service and also to give dollars too,
