worse and Worse.

There Is u story In connection with a
certain paper which tells how It re-
ferred to two learned gentlemen as
"bibulous old flies" instead of "biblo-
philes." Next morning the editor re-
ceived very wrathful protest. In his
correction and apology, however. he
said something about "the learned gen.
tiemen are too fnstidious." To the
EDITORS horror the printer again dis
tinguished himself. and the statement
appeared 1.-THE learned gentlemen are

Chairs.

There are numerous monuments
found in Oriental countries that bear
carvings of chairs. Most of these,
however, are without backs. The first
chairs with backs of which we know
are said to have been introduced into
Asia Minor by the Persians, who. in
turn, got the idea from the Assyrians.

| finer than G. Americana, which pleased
every one so much when 1t first came
out. The flowers of c. Americana are
large and soft, of thistle shape, with
beautiful filament petals of pinkish
lilac, and there is white variety, not
pure white, but with a primrose tint
which is exquisite as a table decOra-
ton, but less effective In the border
than the mauve one.
These giant-fowered sweet sultans
are no more difficult to grow than the
smaller old-fashioned ones, but they
share the family affection for a limy
soil, and If this element is lacking it
should be supplied at the time of set
ting out, when little well-slaked pow
dered lime may be put on as a surface
dressing and fOrked in before the seed
lings are introduced.
Centaureas are hardy, but as rule
they come up somewhat irregularly If
sown in the open, and therefore it Is
best to sow very thinly In pots or
boxes and prick the seedlings out, dis
turbing them at the root as little as
possible in the process.

LATE FALL AND WINTER HINTS
BY BETTY PAKE.

When the ground is frozen hard
enough to bear team, haul mulch to
the strawberry bed, the newly planted
trees and shrubs, the borders and beds
Of roses, hardy perennials, etc.
If you have bed of horse radish
or other perennial you wish to get rid
of, dump a load Of fresh manure upon
1t and leave it there until later in the
spring. This is a good way to destroy
clumps of poison ivy.
The aspldistra is a plant that will
thrive in almost semi-darkness, is in
sect proof, does not require rich soil,
and gets along If almost no attention
is paid to it.
Early in December dig up a COM
pact lilac, syringa or day lily, in fact
almost any of the hardy shrubs or per-
ennials, pot or box them, and put in
cool cellar. A month before they
are wanted to bloom bring into warm
room, and give attention as regards,
sunlight, water, air and ventilation.
They develop fast, and give quick and
ample returns for the trouble taken
with them.

LOANED WATCHES RAN AWAY
TlmepIeees Borrowed From JeweIsr
Inherited Odd Habit Of One Left
70 Be Repaired.

There are several kinds Of watches
there are gold watches, silver
watches, dollar watches and watches
the Jeweer has to lend his patients
while theirs are being repaired.
For the last ten days we have been
carrying a borrowed watch, relates a
writer In the Detroit Free Press. Our
timepiece was not exactly out Of or
der, 1t would run, but II had no con-
troll. II ran wild on the bases. 1t stole
the second and third hour frequently.
We would set II at eight o'clock and
look at II 20 minutes later and dis
cover that II was 10 minutes past three.
We are erratlc, but we weren't erratic
enough to keep up with that watch.
SO we took II intU the dry dock, where
the man squints at II through sawed
off telescope and tells you that 1t will
cost 50 to fix 1t.
After he had told us 1t would cost
us 50 we asked him TO lend us a watch
until we called for our own. This he
did. He wound UP a ticker and set 1t.

his hands. Two hours later friend
asked us the time, and we showed him
our watch. 1t was quarter to seven.
"Gosh," he said, ~ didn't think 1t
was that late. / overlooked dinner
time In some way"
So we went back and borrowed an
other watch from the ieweler. "This
one is O. H." he said with smile.
We carried 1t for an hour. In that
time it had jumped 16 hours. We don't
know now when we look at 1t whether
II Is Berlin time or tomorrow's time.
We can set 1t at two o'clock, and when
the city hall is ringing three our bor-
rowed watch swears it is Is minutes
after four o'clock tomorrow. At first
we looked on the watches suspicious
ly, but now we have begun to suspect
ourselves. When three watches begin
to lie to your face something is wrong.

PAY JEWELER HIS OWN MONEY
Partisan swlndlers InVeigIe Merchant
Into Signing Name to Order for
Three Hundred Pounds.

A very clever swindle was success
fully carried out in the Rue de Ia Paix,
Paris. A carriage drove up to large
jewelers. shop, and an elderly man,
with his arm in a sling, accompanied
by a footman, who carried a rug, en-
tered the shop.
The gentleman selected and bought
some three hundred pounds worth of
jewelry, and then said, "If you do not
mind, I will send my man home for
the money" The jeweler bowed, and
the gentleman continued: II should
be pleased if you would write for me.
1 have hurt my arm. Just write,
please give Robert three hundred
pounds and sign it Henri"
The jeweler wrote as he was direct
ed, and in a quarter of an hour the
footman came back with the money,
and then he, with his master, left with
the jewelry.
When the jeweler went home to
dinner his wife asked him the reason
he had sent for three hundred pounds.
Then the swindle was discovered. The
rogues knew that the jewelers. name
was Henri, and they had got him to
write the note for the money, which
was taken to his wife, and then they
paid him for the jewels with his own
money.

IRIS GROWS IN NORTHERN
GARDENS

Iris is a good Northern plant. 1t is
hardy, 1t blooms with wonderful pro-
fusion early In the season, and no
flower of which have any knowledge
excels 1t in richness and range Of
color.
1t runs through pearly white,
through many shades of blue, yellow
and violet, and to dark purple and
maroon and in many varieties several
of these colors are seen In the same
dover.
The iris is the orchid of the gar
den. With all its richness Of color 1t
has not the least suggestion Of coarse
ness. We have no better border plant.
It is most effective when planted in
large masses.
While unsurpassed for garden deco
ration, 1t is equally valuable for cuts
ting on account of its long stalks and
It's habit of developing the buds after
cutting.

Shirk Duty When Hungry.

Hungry jurymen appealed to the
Judge in London court. They had
been kept sitting during the luncheon
hour, and had failed to agree on a
verdict. One of them suggested to
Judge Rentoul that possibly little re-
freshment might help them. Hungry
men," he added, "are not disposed to
listen to arguments" The Judge said
refreshments should be supplied If
there was any possibility Of the jury
coming to a verdict, but the foreman
replied that there appeared to be no
chance of their agreeing. I'm my ma
tive country" said Judge Rentoul, "a
juryman once took in quantity Of
beef and small bottle Of beer and
said to his fellow jurors, I am for an
acquittal,' without waiting for their
verdict. And the others had to give
in from the sheer necessities of the
case"

HOrserace Proves Mans AGE.

A mans age was decided in a pc.
culiar manner before a Greenwich
England, court recently. The military
authorities claimed that a man, George
Frederick Grandeer, was not forty
three years old, and therefore still
liable for services. The mans defense
was that he was past his forty-third
birthday. In support of this defense
he stated that he was born on June
3, 1874, the day George Frederick won
the Derby and that he was named af-
ter the horse. The defense was ac-
cepted, and the man was discharged.

Gift to British.

A munificent gift to the British ma
ton is being made by Leeds gentle
man, in the form of his famous cOllec-
tion of old Dutch and Flemish mas
ters, including notable examples by
Rubens and Vandyck. There are up
wards of fifty pictures in the collec-
ton, which will be handed to a trust
to be known as the National Collection
Trust; and they will be shown all over
the country. 1t is estimated that the
value of the collection is something
like three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.

KaIser's War Library.

1t is reported that the kaiser is de-
voting considerable time to the crea-
ton of his own war library, and al
ready this remarkable collection num-
bers 10000 volumes.
The war lord Is well known as a
vain man and his collection of photo
graphs runs into thousands. While the
books come from every country, only
German photographs are included, and
those of the kaiser himself are numer-
GUS.
The war collection of the Royal Ii
brary of Berlin now numbers $4,000
volumes, and they are bound in special
covers of gray, stamped with the Prus-
sian eagle.
