WhenI came in- to n - to this °Mee as a boy, I was elected to push a broom, run errands and do as many other things as I could find time to do between eight in the morning and aix in the evening, and I pulled down three dollars every week; but I wasn't exactly happy, I must confess. You see, the fellow over me would scold me fierce, and be seemed to make it his business to keep me jumping. How I longed for the happy day that l'd be able to hold his job. Well, time rolled on, as it al- ways does, and one day my ambition was gratified. "I had his job and I had his pay, and also another point of view, The chief clerk was now my boss, a grouchy cuss With a frowning face, and I had my troubles good and plenty. But I stayed around, and after a while I became the chief clerk, Then it was the manager discovered me, and I discovered another boss. When the manager flitted hence, I was Johnny on the spot, I was again elected, and then I found that the manager wasn't the real boss, because the president of our company was the man who said what'rwas what.

I had been with the company longer than anyone else, and the directors suspected that I knew more about the business than anyone else, and I was elected president, At last, and I imagined thatl was *genuine boss. 13ut my dream hasn't come true, and I am not a real ooss yet. I am bossed by every one of our fourteen thousand customers, "In this mortal vale of tears, from the time we are born until we are dead, we find, no mater where we work or what. position we hold, that there is al- ways some one just ahead. Sometimes I think that the man at the top is no better off; he pays the price for place and power, he doesn't work from eight to five, but punches the time clock every hour. He has a hundred bosses now where formerly he Egad but one. If he makes mistakes they cost him dear, and a good excuse will help him none."

A garden is good for more than the vegetables it produces, It is good for the blues, it is good for the brain, it is good for the body, and it is good to gain friends if you share its produce with them. Quite often you'll get back more than you give. And while we wouldn't advise gardening for that purpose, it is a very good one to consider in the mak- ing of a garden. • A few minutes out in the lettuce row or the pansy patch in the early morn- ing will save lots of trouble in the house -it will aweeten the temper and may- be save divorces and trouble, Few things are more uniting that a common interest in growing things. 'Try it, If you are tired of life and everything in it, including husband and children, got a garden. It is curious how the new shoots of peas will saturate the consciousness to the exclusion of the fact that Jim was unbearably irritating last night. Maybe Jim gets so he feels as though things were irritating too. I don't know of any better plant to grow than the plant of forbearance. Did you ever think how much pleasant- er it is to commend for something done than to criticize? For mercy sake; if you can't commend, then don't say any- thing. It is better to tell Jim his fore- head is white where his hat covers it than to tell him how rough his beard is and how wretched he looks in overalls. Probably Jim isn't dressed for polite society, but, then, are you? Still, why not give him a little polite society whether or no? We ail like praise and we all feel a little hurt with criticism, however merited It may be. Get busy cultivating the various gardens within your own special realm. There's more than one kind of garden and more than one kind of produce, and nearly every- thing needs a little especial attention. Gardens don't grow by neglect any more than some other things. tlOW'tS THIS? We offer One Hundred Dollars Re- ward for any case of Catarrh that can- not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.

"There is uo excuse for a hot box after a car is sent out if the train Is carefully looked over by the ear men at each terimnalPrimarily a but box is caused by pour waste and an In- sufficient 'greasing;' at the time It should have been done, and tbere is no excuse for one. A hot box is Iia• ble to cause a wreck, and a wreck on most railroads costs money, touch more than the price of a sufficient quantity or waste and oil and grease to protect the journals or the cur wheels. "The farmer wbo buys a new wag. on or a buggy has a pretty good idea of what a hot box means and the ways to prevent it. When he buys a new wagon he sees to It that the spin- dle is well greased so it will not get bot. He ,watches it closely and does not take any chances on the wheels running hot. The farmer's wheels on his new wagon or buggy would stick, and if he persisted in driving ahead he would soon have a bad spindle end a bad wheel. "However, the results would not br so disastrous as they would be in n train or cars running at a speed of fifteen or twenty miles an hour. It's no wonder that trainmen use language unlit for a Sunday school class when they find a hot box in their train They know that some one has been careless and shirking in his work nut that he is to blame." -New York Post. MENDEL'S LAW. Shown In the Crossing of Pure Yellow and Pure Green Peas. The following beautifully clear sum mary of the principles of mendelism to due to the Rev. W. Wilks, the fa mous horticulturist who developed the Shirley poppy: If you cross pure yellow and pure green peas either way -it mutters not which is seed bearer and which pollen bearer -you wilt get all yellow seeds If you sow these hybrid seeds. each will, it it germinates, produce a plant which will bear. say. forty aeeds, thir- ty of which will on the average be yel low and ten green. The green. If sown and sown and sown for countless gen erations, will always bear green seeds true to the original green parents ebur ring the always possible intei'ventiuu of insects). Not so the thirty yellow. These when sown will on the average pro- duce ten plants bearing all pure yellow seeds. which will be constant and true to the original yellow parent for count• less generations. The remaining twen- ty plants will be impure yellow. each plant producing, on the overage, one- quarter of its seeds pure yellow, one quarter pure green and one.half ten pure yellow. which Inst will repeat the process and proportion practically for ever. This Is the law of luheritance which is the basis of all the studies of the eugentsts and, in fact, of all breeders of animals and plants, -New York World. Cause of One War.

Box 62 FLOWERS CHEER LIFE. The flowers are a beautiful and gra- cious gift to the world. They grow so freely in all climes, in such profusion of form and color and fragrance. They help to make the world a place where man can dwell. They cheer the life that otherwise would be hard and toil- some. They are the companions of the lonesome, the joy of the young, and the diversion and solace of the old. They bring the ideal into the plainest and most irksome reality. They awaken and cultivate the love of the beautiful, and elevate and sweeten all human life. By means of dainty flowers we find a way to express our sentiment, often- times when words fail. We send a flower into the sick room, and it means to thewearypatient soknuch of thought- ful sympathy, We present flowers to the bride, and they speak of the beauty and joy of yonng and happy hearts. We lay them gently over our beloved dead, and they are our last message of affection, and the emblem of our blessed home of the land where the flowers never fade nor fail. Without them we should not know how to tell all that is in the heart. When we must be silent. we can yet speak in flowers, and know that we are heard and understood, A device consistingof jointed sections of veneered wood has been patented for pressing trousers without the danger of using hot irons.
