James R. Keen was asked the other
day by a lady for a “point” on a certain
stock that he is reported to be manipu-

bull side.
“There are times,” he said, gallantly,
“when one must keep his plans to him-
self. When I tell you to buy, you buy,
and you'll make some money. And the
same when I tell you to sell”
“But I want to know what you know,”
she persisted, adding, “and get in be-
fore the rise”
“I think you are just mean,” she con-
tinued petulantly with flashing eyes
aimed at the doughty warrior of so
many Wall street battles
“Now, see here,” retorted Mr. Keene,
continuing, “1 know what I am going
to dow"
“Yes—yes—and you might tell me!”
“Well, then, I am I-—and now you
want to know
“That would be another 1—now two

"Oh! you are too mean for anything!”
“But,” added Mr. Keene, gallantly,
“send me a check for the amount you
wish to risk—and I'll promise you that
there will not be a loss.”
“Well, I will; I'll trust you with my
money,” she replied, “even if you won't

THEATRE RUN BY A WOMAN.
Laramie, Wyoming, has a woman who
runs a theatre. Pretty Root, they call
her in Laramie, in appreciation of her
daintiness. She is small, energetic, tact-
ful, and she knows the show business
from advertising to counting the receipts
in the box office. She is the whole
thing, and nobody is left in any doubt
on that point.
After she took hold of the theatre she
did not like the way the ushers were
doing their work, so she placed herself

FORCING ASPARAGUS AND RHU-

Asparagus and rhubarb are forced

den and subjected to a gentle heat. The

through the forcing period
roots are thrown away
forced and others brought in for the
next crop. Both these crops may be
grown in out-of-the way places—under
the benches, in corners of the potting
shed, or in fact anywhere where heat
and moisture may be had. One method
of forcing rhubarb is to grow it entirely
in the dark. This produces a very ten-
der stalk with very fittte foliage.
There is a new idea in the forcing
of asparagus and rhubarb which as vet
has not been thoroughly tested. This
idea is the use of permanent plants in-
stead of the large five or six year old
roots that are forced once and then
thrown away. It is quite possible to
cover a large bed of asparagus very
cheaply M means of cloth placed over a
framework of iron pipes. In early spring
the heat is turned on and the plants are
forced more gradually than in the com-
mon and wasteful method, After the
crop has been taken and spring is ad-
vanced the cloth roof and sides are re-
open air. Everything should n be
done to enable the ants to store up
a great supply of reserve food for the
next season's forcing.
Blanched rhubarb, or that in
the dark, a beautiful product
which should sell on sight to the fancy
trade, and I recommend it to the consid-
eration of all private gardeners who
have not tried it. The stems are very
delicate attractive in color. They
are y strong enough to stand
srupIment or exposure in a store
for any length of time, but on the other
hand their flavor is much superior to
