History of the pahIIa.

By a curious horticultural irony the
dahlia, which has become the popular
idol of our early autumn flower shows,
possesses a sadly prosaic history, the
London Chronicle remarks. 1t has
been developed from the Mexican tu-
bers introduced about one hundred and
thirty years ago by the Swedish bot
anist, Doctor Dahl, for the purely
commercial purpose of su~pplanting or
supplementing the potato. They did
not 'catch on" and the dahlia dish
soon disappeared from British dinner
tables, but u gardeners at once saw
the latent possibilities of the flower,
from which they have evolved the
double dahlia and other delightful
floral fantasies. Thus the dahlia has
exactly reversed the fate of the red
clover, which came to us in the guise
Of a garden flower but was found to
make fine forage. The tubers of the
dahlia, too acrid for our taste, are
still eaten In some parts of France.

MEANT TO SURPRISE THIEF
Cooks Idea Was a Brilliant One, but
the Family Did Not Dine on
That Turkey.

Maybe your wife wants a cook?"
was queried of the insurance man af-
ter some general conversation
"Why, l think she does" was re-
piled. THAT is, l think our cook is
going to leave next week. 1t is a
cook you can recommends"
81 can recommend her to the top
gotch. Let me tell you how smart
She is. The other day l brought home
a fine turkey, and l may add that l al
most broke myself in buying it. AS
the weather was cold, I told the cook
to dress it and hang it on a nail out
doors. My wife was not at home that
afternoon and knew nothing about the
turkey until 1 happened to mention it,
at about nine o'clock in the evening.
Then l went out and lifted it off the
nail and brought it in to exhibit it.
We both called out in establishment
as we gazed at 1t. About a teacupful
of paris green had been poured onto
its inside and the outside of the bird
was turning green in spots"
Good gracious! But what had your
smart cook done?" exclaimed the in
surance man.
well we put it up to her, and she
explained:
"'You see, Mr.. Brown, you said 1t
was to hang outdoors all night. 1t
would most certainly be stolen by some
one, and 1 fixed it Sc that it would
make the thief mighty i'll when he had
devoured itP"

"Why, that is on my way home" re-
f1ected Serena, land those men acted
so suspiciouslyl They looked like
thieves, they talked about hiding the
package. Oh, something is wrong,
surely, and-Tll do It'll This is a real
adventure"
So Serena, weaving all sorts of plot
full mystery about the incident, sought
No. 90 as she entered Birney terrace.
1t proved to be an imposing looking
mansion. She assembled the steps and
with some temerity rang the doorbell.
A servant answered the summons.
"Mr. Clement M%apletonT" spoke Sc.
HE is lot at home" was the reply,
'but Miss Mapleton will see you, If it
Is necessary" and she opened the door
wide and Serena followed her down a
broad hallway and into a pretty recep-
ton room.
"What is 1t, p~lease?" spoke a young
lady writing at a table.
In her excitement Serena forgot all
about her unaccustomed attire. She
drew aside her veil. She extended the
package and excitedly told her story.
"you lovely dear!' spoke Miss Ma
pleton gracIously. 81 don't understand
what it all means, but you have been
very thoughtful TO take all this trou-
BILE. You must leave your name and
address. This may be important and
my brother may find 1t necessary to
see you"
Serena gave her name and address.
The young lady accompanied her to
the door and Serena went away daz-
zled with the handsome appointments
Of the house. She did 20 hear from
the Mapletons, as she half expected
she would, but about noon a florists
wagon drove up to the door and de-
livered a beautiful bouquet of rare
flowers.
The next day another bouquet ar
rived and the one following. Serena
suspected the source from which the
flowers came. She asked the florist
in regard to the sender.
"a young lady who did not give her
name," he explained. "She ordered O
bouquet daily for two weeks and paid
for them in advance"
"Of course, 1t is Miss Mapleton," re-
cided Serena. She was somewhat
disappointed. During that brief visit
to the Mapieton home she had noticed
the portrait of a handsome young mar
hanging on the wall. The resemblance
rs Miss Mapleton had convinced Sc
rent that this was her brother. She
wondered IT her restoration of the
packet had slgnlhed anything of i'm
purtance to him.

disnally. 1t was q full half mile to
her home, and the rain and the wind
were alarming. 1t had been fine
weather earlier in the afternoon when
she had come to visit her grandmother.
Serena had worm her best dress and
hat. She put both aside, drew n veil
over the old-fashloned wooden hood
and tucked up her dress closely, put
ting the long antiquated cloak over it.
Il suppose you know best, grandma"
she sighed, 'but oh, dear, If 1 should

swell, good-by. I'll send one of the
boys after my things in the morning"
Serena set out, comfortably bun

she looked like some old dame re-
turning from market. Serena was
used to dainty things and she expert
enced n shrinking embarrassment as
she noted that she alone of all the
women on the busy thoroughfare wore
a hood.
There came a sharp dash of rain
and Serena drew under the shelter of
a store awning to button the top of
the cont more snugly about her. She
drew back as two rough-looking men
passed her, staring hard at her.
'There she is. I'd know that old
hood anywhere" spoke one of the men.

lowed"

anu tiN ~ VI t"S StbSN ANINA
as told by a writer in the New York Sun:
Presidential campaigns cost a great deal of
money. The job of getting this money they call
raising the wind. When the amount required is
between St,5OO,0OO and 100000 one can see
that the office of treasurer of a national commit
tee is no sinecure.
1t was stated publicly the other day by Henry
Morgenthau, who as chairman of the Democratic
finance committee, was Il sort of financial over
lord of this end of the game for the Democrats,
that the irreducible minimum of Democratic
needs this year had been placed at 81 0 10000. Four
years ago 1t was $1,1OO,OOO.
The Republicans did not make public their
own estimate of expenses. When the campaign
was in its infancy they figured it out as about
81, 000,0O0 Later the amount was raised to ST.
100000. And at a still later gathering of Re
publicans to discuss this question certain gentle
men of great political experience informed young
Mr.. Bliss that the high cost of campaigns would
probably make it necessary this year to spend
close to 100000 before November Z.
The reason why it costs more now to run a
campaign is because everything is higher. The
cost of printing has tripled, for one thing, cam
paign buttons cost twice as much, railroad fares
are higher. And so 1t goes.
When the Republicans were looking around for
someone to raise the wind this year their eyes
fell upon young Mr.. Bliss, for a good reason.
His father was the Republican treasurer In three
national campaigns. After some hesitation Mr..
Bliss took the job, In which he has ever since
displayed the one quality considered a %prerequi-
site to a successful Republican treasurer-mod-
esty.
Nobody but the campaign managers themselves
ever heard much of Mr.. Bliss around national
Headquarters. His office was on n floor below
the chairman's. People who got off there by mis-
take thought they had wandered into the offices
of a big up-to-date mercantile corporation. There
were many clerks, many adding machines and
many typewriters.
1t was from these offices, where scarce a foot
fall was heard, that Treasurer Bliss raked the
country for Republican money, not only in the
form of large subscriptions when he could get
them, but also in the form of $40 subscriptions
to what he called his sustaining membership fund.
The contributor to this got a nice little certificate
showing that he had been enrolled as a sustain
Ing member of the G. o. p. This was Mr.. Bliss
popular-subscrlpton plan.
The scheme Mr. Bliss brought out was a de-
velopment of one tried successfully by William
Barnes when he was head of the state committee,
This plan was to invite SO subscriptions to a
special fund and in return hand out some little
bonorarium. Mr.. Barnes succeeded In raising
$4,000 by this plan in the state of New York

face, and the colder and rarer further up; the
colder descending from time to time on account of
its greater weight. Once the cold wave has de-
scended in spiral form, the warmer air of the sur
face first moves toward the colder and thinner sur
face, on the vacuum principle, until a vacuum is
thus created in the warm zone with a consequent
thrush of the cold air.
This process of cooling Off the surface and sup
plying fresh air takes place continually, and the
cycle usually is through Its development In three
days. Hence he calculated the weather on cycles
of three days.

FIRST TO FORECAST THE WEATHER.

Professor Doctor Hellmann of the University or
Berlin, in a recent lecture before the Astronomical
society of Germany, referred the study of weather
conditions back to the "frst prognosticator," Clau-
dius Ptolemeus, $50 B. O., the author OF the Megaie
Syntaxis, better known as the Ptolemean system OF
astronomy. the predecessor of the Copernican' our
present-day system.
Ptolemeus issued annual almanacs, In which ne

air. the warmer and denser near the earth's sur

lily the evening Serena had returned
the packet. It was with a startled
face that he had received 1t from his
sister and he listened gravely to her
story.

directed, "and l shall go to her per-

but not without his sanction and I
must go to him at once"
"But who stole them?" inquired
Miss Mapleton.
1T must have been a young man we
discharged last week, who placed
them in the hands Of professional
criminals to blackmall Mr.. Daggett.
They mistook this Miss Hoyt in her
exigency outfit for some accomplish"
Serena fluttered and her color came
rosy and swift as one day she was
informed that a Mr.. Mapleton awaited
her in the parlor. His clear, frank
eyes scanned her with animation as
she entered the room.
Il have called to bring you a slight
souvenir from a dying man, Miss
Hoyt," he spoke, "whose last days you
have made peaceful by restoring to us
certain stolen papers,"
He extended a beautiful jeweled
brooch. Serena drew back in conster-
nation.
my friend has insisted that you ac-
cept this slight token of his deep
gratitude" proceeded Mapleton, land
you must not cause him disappoint-
ment by refusing"
Not a word in explanation of the
mystery was vouchsafed. A few eve
nings later Mapleton called again, this
time accompanied by his sister.
There grew up a speedy friendship
between the three. Then it came
about that Mapleton called alone sew
eral times.
Serena was very happy. Aside from
a delicious of being a party to
a mystery, the marked attentions of
MapletOn pleased her. Dawning love
made her life very sweet. .
1t further came about that Maple

Mapleton.
About that packet. 1 have won

'The documents it contained are

Serena looked inquiringly expectant
