NO CHANGE FOR AGREEMENT
of Letters Could Have Nothing at All in Common.

Stassov, the Russian critic, was once arguing with Turgenev, the Rus sian novelist, whose rather supercil- ious attitude toward the art of young Russia infuriated the critic.
 At last the novelist, wearied with what he called this chewing of dried grass" showed signs of yielding to Stassov's onslaughts.
 Now, I see you agree with me, cried Stassov in triumph.
 This acted like the dart planted in the hide of the weary or reluctant bull. Acording to Rosa Newmarch Turgenev sprang from his chair and shuffied on his gouty, bandaged feet to the window
 .. Agree with with you, you indeed" he an. swered. 'If felt I was beginning to think like you should fling open the window (here he suited the action to the word) and scream to the passers by, Take me to iunatic asylum I agree with Stassov!'"

STUDY YOUR CATALOGUES
By E. VAN BENTHuYsEN.

Get your catalogues early and study them. Make your selections and or der early. This assures the goods on time and a better selection.
 Be sure to include mixed packet of climbing nasturtiums for that cor her where the sun scorches everything else. They are beautiful in coloring and are subject to only one real in sect pest, the cabbage worm, and it succumbs to hellebore or soapsuds.
 California poppy is another sun-lov ing plant. Its gay foliage blends at tractively with it's golden leaves. It's only drawback is it's short life.
 The scarlet salvia has no peer in color It is a brilliant plant and should be started early in the house. Cosmos requires an early start, also. It is difficult to get this plant started early enough to bloom much before frost, but the buds will continue to open in water for weeks.
 Select the chrysanthemum effects among asters. Their branching and ostrich plume effect are sure to please. There is a world of color to select from and they are hardy and beauti- full
 The simple culture of pansies makes them a delight in the garden. Include a packet of these beautiful little flow CTS of diverse colors in your order
 Plant sweet peas as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring. Late planting brings failure. The more the flowers are plucked the better and bigger they grow. The colors are beautiful and range from purest white to a red that is almost black. One of the favorite specimens belong to the violet-colored family
 There is room in your garden for the bachelor button. It is highly re- garded as a boutonniere in the big cities and brings a surprising price.
 Make your plans now and reap the glorious result in midsummer.

LOVE AND LAW

 'The day of your success, Ransom dear!"
 You hopeful helper and unconquer able optimist!" returned the brother of Nettie Baird. Don't build your hopes too high. Instead, this may be the day of my downfall"
 70, never that, brother, dear!" cried the loving sister, turning quite pale at the set, anxious face of her brother.
 "Nettie," he said gravely, this is the crisis. You know the unheard-of sacrifices we have both gone through to enable me to qualify for the bar You remember the years of starving alone, waiting for clients who never came. Finally there comes to me the great Wyford case. The plaintiff is poor, the fee contingent-'
 But little fortune if you win the rase."
 It has taken my last dollar to meet the court costs and expenses" con- tinued Ransom. And I am going to lose the case"
 "Oh, Ransom!" uttered his sister in dire distress.
 "Yes, I feel certain of that. You must never lisp what I am going to say to you, but Judge Allison is dis honest man and an interruptions jur- lst"
 You shock mel" said Nettie.
 The fact is notorious among those who have suffered through his bought and paid for unjust decisions I have been warned of this," pursued Ransom gravely. They say he will never again be appointed to the bench. but that the truth as to his re-

sprouting their fourth and fifth leaves There were IS altogether
 As each little geranium grew its second leaf, l transplanted it careful ly into two-inch pot, and when IF of them were growing nicely, in May, 1 again transplanted all the nice bright-looking babies" to a tub oi sandy soil, and put it out on the west lawn.
 Here they grew fast; for the gerani um loves the hot sun. In July shipped off their tops, to make them branch out. By the first of Septem Der this tubful of geraniums were fire, stocky plants, from six to nine inches high.
 About this time I planted another packet of geranium seeds. They are in fine condition and growing nicely I expect the plants first from the seeds to give me flowers this summer. They are now in three-inch pots and I am quite anxious to see their blossoms. I shall keep none but the very best colors and best-formed fiorets.
 Those planted last September vii probably blossom next winter. Fol several years l have had good success with keeping geranium slips over, al so with the old plants, by cutting the latter down.
 Last summer the heads of my ger aniums were four inches across They were of the General Grant variety, a deep glowing red. I keep all my ger aniums in a bay window of the living room where the temperature ofter falls to 40 degrees on very cold win 1 ter nights.
 Every morning I pour about my large geranium plants cold, weak tea and dig the tea leaves into the soil Ii is splendid tonic for them, and keeps the leaves green and thrifty.

Work of GhouIs Frustrated.

A gruesome mystery recalling the ghoulish days when body snatching' was rife, is reported from Athlone, Ireland. The body of young woman was recently laid to rest in the family plot at Kiltoom graveyard. Notwith- standing that the burial ground is within sight of the public road and nearly opposite a police barrack, das- tardly attempt to remove the corpse was almost successful. Not alone was the earth removed, but the coffin was partially lifted, and when the outrage was detected it was apparent that the evil-disposed perpetrators had been in terrupted in their unnatural and grue- some work. The coffin was standing upright in the grave. The sanitary of ficer was notified and the coffin was again inferred.

jection may not come out, as he has been shrewd and clever in covering up his nefarious deals.'
 Ransom, it seems impossible that high servant of justice could be thus influenced!"
 Did you notice yesterday, Nettie," proceeded Ransom, that when the op- posing counsel tried to deny point of law I made, the judge sustained him, for it greatly weakened my case. l knew l was right, but l never dreamed that they would deny an es- tablished point in legal Jurisprudence"
 But the judge gave you until this morning to submit your authorities in your contention" suggested Nettie.
 Yes, because he knew it would be next to impossible for me to prepare them on that prescribed limit of time The law library of the bar associa- tion was closed. AS you know, I have few reference books myself. Besides, 1t would have been an all night task gathering up the information I needed"
 "Oh. brother!" exclaimed Nettie, T forgot to tell you When I was i'll the gallery of the courtroom yesterday listening to your case, beautiful young lady sat next to me. She seemed as interested as I was. And who do you think it was?"
 How can I tell, Nettie?"
 Tt was Miss Honoria Adams. She is a daughter of the dead judge Ephraim Adams. Don't you know how you admire him? I told her we had his portrait here at home and how you made him your model She says she helbed her father great deal in his home legal work and loved still the legal atmosphere. When that point came up in your argument when the judge demanded precedents, she said that it was pity you had not ayailed yourself of the splendid law library her father had left her"
 Nettie walked with her brother to the courtroom, as she had done dur ing the trial. Just at the door she met a young lady also ent tsring the place, 5Wno Smlleu, duvdHciHs dhu sAooh noi hand.
 Ransom dear, this is the young lady told you about-Miss Adams. 7
 T am glad and proud to meet you, Miss Adams said Ransom. Your fathers works on law have been great sources Of help to me.
 Thank you" bowed the young lady and then she flushed slightly as she went on T hope you will pardon my presumption, but was so interested

in your case that after I got home last evening looked up the reference on the point in dispute. You were right and the judge is wrong. I have taken the liberty of bringing you memorandum of the authorities" and she handed Ransom several folded sheets of paper closely written over.
 An hour later when the case was reviewed and Ransom cited his au- thorities, the opposing counsel looked fiustered and the judge positively angry. The latter was more censorious and unfair after that than ever, how ever. Finally the attorney for the de- fense introduced an unexpected wit ness. He swore to Investigating cer- tain points in the case, decidedly ad- verse to Ransom's client. From the start Ransom discerned that the man was base perjurer.
 He was unable to oppose any con- tradictory testimony. The odds of knavery and falsehood were too many for him, he realized. From that mo- ment Ransom was sure that the case was lost.
 He looked surprised as a bailiff came from beyond the railing and handed him folded note Involun- tarily he glanced up at the two young ladies in the gallery. From there his sister smiled and Miss Adams seemed to bow encouragingly. Ran som knew that the note must be from the latter. He opened it. to read the puzzling sentence:
 Ask the witness if he was an in- vestigator five years since in the Evans bribery case Then tell him that is all. Then say to the judge that you intend to recall the witness in the sur-rebuttal testimony"
 When the opposing attorney had completed his questioning, Ransom arose to his feet.
 Your honor" he spoke not sure of his ground but resolving to obey this new friend of his extremity. T wish to ask the witness only one question. Were you an investigator in the Evans bribery caSeY
 The witness gave great start His face paled. He grasped the arms of his chair in which he sat to steady himself.
 "Yes!' he choked out, like one un- der some fearful spell of terror.
 That is all' bowed Ransom calm ly Your honor 1 wish to announce that I will recall this witness in the sur-rebuttal testimony
 "The judge IS ill' cried bailiff and rushed to the side of the jurist, who had turned deathly pale, had tainted suddenly on the bench
 The court was adjourned in some confusion. The next morning the judge, looking az though he had passed night of intense suffering, an nounced that the deIense had decided to withdraw from the case and judg- ment was given for the plaintiff, and the latter and his gifted young attor ney were rich men!
 It was only when he had become acquainted with Miss Adams that the latter explained the mystery of her fortuitous hint.
 Tt must never come out" she said, flor it is a secret, but I recalled case where my father had told me Judge Allison had accepted a large bribe. Your allusion to it caused him to fear that the truth would come out. For once at least he was obliged to decide case fairly"
 And, when they had become still better acquainted, Ransom Baird asked Honoria Adams the sweetest query human lips can frame: will you become my wife?" She did not say Nay"
