In his studio in Carnegie hall Charles
Dana Gibson was amused to receive
the other day a printed circular signed
by an automobile firm, that said:
"You are cordially invited to part1c-

ceive grand cash prize Of 500.

Mr.. Gibson, who can scarcely be
persuaded to make drawings at $1,000
apiece, smiled over this printed circu-
lar, and then he took a sheet Of note
paper, and, still smiling. he wrote to
the automobile firm:
"You are cordially invited to partici-
pate In my grand ten dollar prize auto

AUGUST 81.

A German whose first name is Az
gust runs saloon in Sioux City. One
day last June the landlord called to
collect the rent and before leaving
said:
"Say, August. after the first day Of
July I'll have to charge you $15 q
month more than you are paying now.
The paving on this street has cost ME
good deal, and now the gas company
is raising it's rates. and I've gotta have
more rent"
"Vell," said August, that's all right"
A little later the barkeeper came
over to Augustus desk and said:
"Say, August, the cost of living Is
goin' up SO fast that gotta have
more wages. After the first Of July
want $40 more month"
WELL" said August II guess that
will be all right"
The next day the representative OF
the brewery called to collect for the
beer, and when he was writing the re-
ceipt he said:
"Say, August. hops is darned scarce
this year, and after the LIST of July
we've got to have $1.25 a barrel more
for the suds."
"vell," said patient August, IL guess
that IS all right"
August sat and figured little while,
then took his hat and went out Pref
ty soon he returned with a new sign,
which he hung over the bar, and this

TROOPS GUARD ITS GOLD.
Every Night the Bark of England Has
Military Display.

Every Night the Bark of England Has
Military Display.
For 100 years Il company Of guards
men in charge of an officer marched
every evening from the Chelsea or the
Wellington barracks to the Bank OF
England. For the last few years, ow-
ing to the great increase of street
traffic, the soldiers have gone by the
underground railway, and nowadays
the nightly guard is drawn from the
troops stationed in the Tower of Lon
don.
If the visitor to London waits by the
bank any evening at half past O'Clock
he will see about thirty men In the
charge of lieutenant and two SER
geants marched up in parade dress
with fixed bayouets and loaded am
munition belts. These are the only
troops that may march through the
city of London with fixed bayonets.
The men themselves like this duty.
When they march back to quarters,
about o'clock in the morning, they
may do as they please for the rest Of
the day, and they receive an extra
shilling a day from the bank man.
ayers Each man also has q pair Of
fine blankets wherein to wrap himself
while he waits for his turn to go on
guard, and in winter big fires are light
ed for them. They have generous re-
freshments provided for them. and
the officer In command has a dinner
for himself and two friends.
In the daytime another curious sur
vival Of the past Is to be observed. Al
though detectives guard all the doors,
the old uniformed beadles are also paid
for the service. From the standpoint
of efficiency. these officials are very
much in the way. but as long as the
Bank of England has been in existence
the beadles have policed 1t. Conse-
quently the Eeadles are allowed to re-
main
The custom Of providing little gar
rison for the bank dates back to 1850,
when an attack was made upon the
bank by mob during the Gordon
riots. picturesQuely described in Bar
naby Ridge" II is said that in the
fight that ensued between the rioters
and the clerks Of the bank the latter
melted their metal inkpots for am
munition after their supply Of bullets
had given out.-Youth's Companion.

WHAT is the matter with the

WHAT is the matter with the
State Horticulturist, the paper
published at Madison by the
Wisconsin Horticultural society?
This paper evidently has it in
for the Bayfield, county region
as a fruit section for it fails to
mention any progress this
region makes. It even failed to
mention the fact that Bayfield,
county captured the blue ribbon
at the Wisconsin State Fair for
the best fruit exhibit, although
it gave plenty of space to the
other fruit sections Of Wiscon-
sin. In the photographs Bay
field county was not given a
place but all of the other dis
plays were photographed and
made into cuts and run in the
paper.
Why can't the editor of the
Horticulturist be fair and give
Bayfield, county just credit?
This section is going ahead even
though the fruit paper fails to
give it attention and before long
the official paper of the Horti-
cultural Society will be more
than willing to recognize the
Bayfield, county region.
Where in Wisconsin can they
grow such strawberries, apples,
plums, cherries and ell other
small fruits, as grown in
Bayfield, county--can Mr.. Gran
field tell US where?
