Lerriv] "I belief mnype you vhas on some va cations" said the (Jirman procer as the janitor of Mc Murphy's flats show ed up the other day for the first time in a week. "Xo, I have had no vacation and don't expect to have." was the reply. "You see, I am a janitor with the asth ma. and if my asthma would permit me to take a vacation it would permit me to wash the windows and sweep r Is* I a'w 8 iff"* 1 a4KWw l !•• t Mi. fTv \ Vv» I Kii "BIX 810 WATERMELON'S." the halls. I've pot to he consistent about things, you know. I shall take my vacation in an armchair in the basement, and I shall take <lue care that none of the tenants forget what a fragile pliyshjue I've pot. You know what physique is, don't you, Mr. Was herman ""He vlins somet'ings to do mit shump- Ing around, maype." "Yes, that's it, and I don't propose to Jump. In the first place, a janitor should move with dignity when he moves at all, and in the nest it's be neath his position to wrangle about goats, dogs and children in the halls. It also gives chic to a flat to have a Janitor who doesn't sweat his collar on a hot day. I think I know my gait, Mr. Wassertnan—l think I do." "Und how vhaa all dose bad peo ples?" asked the grocer after an ad miring plance. "Just the same—no better, no worse. They are still trying to outdo each oth er, and that keeps things lively around the house." "Und does some one pull hair?" "No, there hasn't been anything of that sort for the last month. When women quarrel, they try to find ways to hurt each other's feelings, you know. Up to three nights ago the barber's wife and the Countess Divito had Mrs. O'Sullivan crushed to earth, but then she took a rally and is now at the head of the procession again. I gave her the hint myself, and she ought to be very grateful to me." "Und bow vhas It?" "Why, Fhe gave a watermelon party. The barber's wife gave what they call an ice cream fling, and the Countess Divito followed with a banana festival. Hotli were successes, and Mrs. O'Sulli van was feeling cast down when I gave her a hint. Let me tell you, Mr. Wasserman, that a watermelon party Is considered the swaggerest thing on the boards for the summer. It's the real chic. You've got to get at least six watermelons and pour a bottle of claret into each and have the fruit fro zen. Then you eat it with a silver spoon and wipe off your chin with a red bordered table napkin. I gavo Mrs. O'Sullivan all the necessary point ers, and the affair was a tremendous success." "Und she had six watermelons?" ab sently queried the grocer. • "Six big watermelons, Mr. Wasser man, and each primed with a pint of claret and kept In an Icebox for three days. There were 40 bon ton people at the feast, the very cream of society. Not a hint had reached the barber's wife or the countess, and when the swapper began to swagger in there was consternation in McMurphy's flats. It was a cold cut on the two women, and they were too weak In the knees to stand up. Yes, 40 swagger guests, and some of the women had on shirt waists which cost at least Jfii apiece. I myself counted nine different pairs of tan shoes in that gathering, and all but three or four of the gentlemen had col lars on. An accordion furnished de lightful strains, and nil the gas globes were covered with red paper." "Und it vhas some success?" "It was, in two ways. In the first place, the gathering was all that could bo hoped for, and In the next not a per son gave himself away. You see, every one of those melon as as green as I rass, and the claret soured them till Ihey were like pickles. Mrs. O'Sulli van went whiter than chalk when tlie first melon was cut and was found to be as hard as a rock and as tasteless as an old shoe, but the guests came to lier rescue In a way to melt your heart. Swapper Is as swagger does, Mr. Was serman." "But vitas some preen watermelons swagger, Mr. Sprocket?" asked the grocer. "Not exactly, but what did those swagger people do when they found them green? Just turned right In and devoured the whole six to save the feelings of the hostess. Yes, sir, the melons were cut up and passed around, anil everybody ate and smacked bis lips anil said he had never tasted any thing so good. It took them an hour to flown those melons, but they left noth ing but the rinds. If they had been stuffed with cotton, It would have been the Mine. Swell society never makes any blunders, Mr. V.'iissi-rman." "Ilut one time I cat a green water melon und haf ci lie." "That's another point, Mr. Wasser nian, the greatest point of all," said tiie janitor in a whisper. "I>on't you give a thing away for love or money, but I'm telling >' ti that every one of those 10 guest.l 11:i>I colic to beat till! band before the last melon was fairly down. They grew pale and twitched and ' shuddered ai d v. .' uli d around, but not one of tlcm let out a hint of what was the i attir. Swagger socie ty in \it give-- It ulf away, not even when it has the colic." "Und did dey suil'i r?" "You bet they did! Some of them were almost tied up i:i knots with the pains, but they laughed and smiled Just the same. The party broke up early, but n > one mentioned colic. They had all sorts of excuses, and some of them were doubled up as they walked out, but they were game to the last. They went out saylni; what an enjoya ble time they had had and what a lug clous thiinr a watermelon was, and nei ther the l-ni.i r'ii wife nor the Countess Dlvlto caught on to a thing. That par ty almost broke their hearts, and nel- ther has been out of the house for two days." "Und rhill somet'ings more hap pen?" "Oh, of course. Mrs. Torrington is going to give a swell possum bake ear ly next month, am' the ountess will follow it with a candy pull and a pop corn festival. You may crush a wom an for a day or two, but she won't 6ta.v crushed." "Can't nopody do somet'ings?" asked the grocer as lie put two cucumbers in a bap and handed them to the janitor. "I'm afraid not, Mr. Wasserman." "Und she must go right on?" "It looks that way." "Vhell, it vhas awful, awful, und I don't like it. I like eaferybody to go right along and ! e good und go oop to heafen vhen he dies, und soocli bad ness makes my heart ache, und I haf some tears in my eyes v! < n I sells two cans of peaches for dwendy-tife cents."

He h.:s no practical ideas whatever." "It is true he is something of a dreamer, but"— "Well, if he Is a dreamer, that's I enough. Let him drcaui.

As there Is more than one way of tooking a goose, .so there Is more than one method of teaching a dog to throw somersaults. But the most practical and thorough manner Is to fasten a cord around the body of the animal close to the forelegs, and two people should hold the ends of tlit? cord on cither side of the unfortunate dog. A third party armed with a stout rope takes a position immediately in front of the canine acrobat and with a measured and masterly stroke flogs the floor at close quarters to the dog's nose. At each stroke of the rope the dog springs backward, and that movement Is the trainer's golden opportunity. As the dog spring backward the rope pass ing under its body is jerked upward, and, although tlie first few attempts may prove futile, the somersault Is ac quired In course of tfcne. An Intelli gent dog soon sickens of tills order of things and throws somersaults with out the assistance of ropes. A ftlnnt Qu«*ry.

One day after the alterations had been effected lie visited the church to see how It looked. "What do you think of the improve ments, John?" he nsked of the beadle. "Improvements!" exclaimed John In disdain. "They're no Improvements at a*. Whaur are ye goln to put the folk?"

AT Chicago October was the great month in point of at tendance at the World's fair. There is every rea son to believe the same re sult will come to the Pan-American Im position at Buffalo, where October is always a month of delightful weather. The Exposition in point of beauty and interest is at its climax, and the pro gramme of special events is such as to attract and please. September started with great crowds, and only the trage dy iu the Temple of Music, which stun ned and shocked a world, halted an overwhelming success in that mouth. The Exposition management as a trib ute of respect closed the gates for one day, Thursday, when the state funeral of the third martyred president took place. The crowds since then have poured to Buffalo. The Temple of Music, now hallowed and historic ground, has been the Mecca of thou sands. Buffalo has demonstrated her ability to care for great crowds satisfactorily, not only in hauling them to the Exposi tion by street car and steam railway at a fare of but 5 cents from any part of the city, but to house and feed them at prices In the reach of all. The stories of exorbitant prices were long ago shown to be fables, and every visitor who makes the slightest effort to get accommodation can do so wholly with in ills means. j The Exposition Itself, with Its beautl- I ful buildings. Its coloring by day. Its magic lighting nt night, its walks and courts, Its canals and lakes. Its foun tains aud statuary, Its exhibits and Its amusements, has been a delight to the 5,000,000 visitors wbo have already been to the Pan-American. The Expositiou Company opened up the month of October, beginning Mon day, Sept. 30, with a Carnival week of splendid events. Including a baby coach parade, with .'I,OOO school chil dren singing in the procession, a mon ster pageant with the floats used In the New Orleans Mardi Gras and alle gorical parade and the feature of the beautiful floral parade at Saratoga. These will take place on Thursday and Saturday. Oct. •'! and 3. but every day from Sept. 80 to Oct. 5 will be replete with Interest. Special fireworks on the lake, with decorated and Illuminated launches in a procession of fiery grand eur. will affot'.l new and wonderful sensations to the visitors. Thus October will be ushered in with a pre gramme so arranged as to give the American public a delightful week. The life saving drill, daily, has be come one of the great attractions of the Exposition. It tells the story of the work of the In ii ii i.ieii who guard the j bores of occ .ri and (rroat lakes, al wa.\x on the n: tto drag from death's brink the xi.., ivcl.cd sailor or pas r.en- r-rs.

With the magnificent exhibit of the I'nlted States Government and the Suniii and Central American States' hulhliugs every visitor can spend a day.

The programme provided by L'alu In October Includes the magnificent water carnival with gorgeous luillet, wonderful figures In liquid (Ire, anil aerial bombs and rock ets of startling beauty and mystifying construction. To the millions Interested In agricul ture, stock and poultry rearing, the I'an-Atm rlcan Imposition especially appeals. The cuttle show was a tre mendous success and the sheep show, iM-giunlng Sept. 23 mid continuing to •>ct. !:::s proved an attraction for those Interested, from every section from Maine lo California and Canada. ? , Among the states represented are Midi • | i*ran, Indiana, Wisconsin, New York, » 1 Pennsylvania, Illinois, Vermont, Ohio, • i New Jersey; Texas and Missouri.

WHEN Superintendent Converse promised a better series of llv» stock shows at the i Pan-American Exposi tion than was ever before attempted, the statement was accepted as an ordi nary pleasant and pardonable exag geration. The complete success of the dog and the swine shows, however, proved to be the lirst steps toward redeeming his promise. The cattle show was an agreeable surprise to every stockman who saw it and at once established a new stand ard of excellence that will not be equaled for years to come and possibly never surpassed as regards quality. Tiie sheep show, now fully under way and lasting to Oct. l'. r >, Is In every way a worthy successor to the dog, the swine and the cattle shows. The best flocks In the United States and Canada are represented, together with their recent additions of Imported stock, consisting of about twenty fine animals now shown In this country for the first time. The sheep show, taken as a whole. Is one of the most complete ever brought together. Every Important breed lias a strong representation, while every breed known has au exhibit of some kind. The Island Hhtck Face, of which there are but three or four flocks In tho United States, are well represented, and they are creating a great deal of Interest among the exhibitors and vis itors. All classes In the middle wools nru particularly strong. among which lire noted prizewinners from the east, west, north, south and Cannda. The stron gest representation of all Is from tho Merinos. Vermont, the homo of the Merino, where the only distinctive American breed of sheep originated, Is represented by many of her best breed ers. This fact deserves more than a passing notice, as our domestic ani mals of American origin are not nu merous. We have borrowed almost ev erything of tbla nature from other ! countries. 'I hc <n:ly other exception Is possibly ihe A inericati trotting home. *ni:';r# <.onl*.

To show to Exposi tion visitors their practical working, twenty sheep are brought from the East Ituffalo stockyards every morn ing One machine Is set In motion each half hour during the day, and one of the men in charge removes a fleece with it. One of the operators claims a speed of one and one-half minutes to a fleece. ■lnnate Sheep. In a pen outside of the regular sheep exhibit is a carload of range sheep di rect from the Canadian northwest. These nre sent as an advertisement of the rich pasture lands and an Illus tration of what may be produced there without additional feed and without artificial shelter. The Pnn-Aiuorlonn Horse Show. Dame Fashion may have withdrawn her smile of approval and the different styles or autos turn their backs In deri sion. but the horse still holds favor with the great majority of mankind. The horse show at the Exposition which holds the boards for two weeks, from Oct. 7 to Oct. 10. will be uo excep tion. Five hundred horses nre coming which are carefully selected to faith fully represent the best of every breed found in the United States and Canada. Vermont Is again courting promi nence by sending a fine lot of Morgan horses, a breed that should receive more attcntlou than It does. Draft horses, especially the Clydes dale and I'ercheron breeds, are well represented. These are principally from Canada and the western states. German coach horses attract a great deal of attention. One large Importa tion of these horses will be brought di rect to the Exposition. French-Canadian horses from Quebec are entered more as a special feature of the horse show. They are little known in the United States, but their style and endurance will commend them as superior coach horses and those that will command favor In nny market. Instead of enumerating the different breeds It Is only necessary to select any kind of horse wanted, with the as surance that it will be on exhibition. The finest stables on the continent are contributing to the show with sufficient enthusiasm to Insure the finest repre sentation possible. The Judging takes place in the Stadium on the oth and 10th of October, when this Immense structure will be none too large to ac commodate those who will want to sec this crowning climax to such an elab orate series of live stock shows. Poultry mid IX Stock. From Oct 21 to the close of the fnlr the stock pavilions will be once more filled with life, though In a very dif ferent form. Poultry of high degree from all parts of the United States and many places In Canada will fraternize without regard to politics or tariffs. As near neighbors the poultry will have mice, rabbits, cats, cavlcs, prairie dogs, squirrels, ferrets, rats and Belgian hares, besides a great assortment of pigeons, owls, magpies and a great many cage birds. Fight thousand animals and birds are being gathered together to form this complete cosmopolitan assemblage of birds and animals. The Pan-American Exposition Is prov ing a great success. While the enter prise suffered for a few days from the national tragedy, the crowds that have put off going until tbo fall are rushing to Buffalo In great numbers now. President Roosevelt said of tbo Pan- American Exposition, "It Is well worth the while of every man, woman and thlld In the country to visit tho Pan- American Exposition." More than 5,000,000 people have visit ed the Pan-American Exposition. As Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said on Sept 11, after a visit, "No one can afford to keep away." Thomas A. Edison said of the Pan- American Exposition after viewing the Illumination, "This Is the apotheosis of tho Incandescent light." Poultrymen from all over the United States will be meeting at Buffalo and the Pan-American Exposition the last three weeks of October. The stock shows at the Pan-Amerl ;an Exposition have been most popular. The sheep show began Sept 23 and lusts until Oct 25. I nues' band, one of the best ID the country, will give concerts free to all Pan-American Exposition visitors from Oct. 7 to 20. Hour AdmntMri.

Conditions That Keep I« Down. Downy mildew is the moat serious disease of the lima beans. It Is met with in other states, and at the present time it is a serious menace to the grow* ers of lima beans in New Jersey. From a bulletin on beans and their Just issued from the station of Hi«» state It appears that In some Instances polo lima beans have been so badljJ attacked that few or no pods wecg picked. The mildew was worse witK plants growing upon rich lowlands and where the same crop bad been opoff the ground the previous year. Not only the young pods, tint tha whole flower clusters, are destroyed, and the dead leaves of these stand op( lOLDim BEAN PODS AND PTiAJTT Trp. above the surrounding leaves of the af fected plants. The general appearance of mildewed pods Is shown in the cut, and n ruined plant tip also. This mildew, a mildew of the grape, another of indoor lettnee, another of the onion and potato rot fungus all belong to the same family. It is believed that both insects (espe cially bees) and the prevailing winds play n great part in disseminating downy mildew of the lima bean. Also It is greatly Influenced by moisture, as excessive summer and autumn rains. Conclusions drawn from experiments show that even in a season most favor able for the lima bean mildew a thor ough treatment of the vines with bor deaux mixture will insure a crop. The selection of well drained land and t light soil, reducing the number of vines in the hill and planting the poles erect will insure conditions as little favor able to the development of the fungus as possible. The late autumn growth of lima bean mildew is remarkable. It thrives on pods after the plants are killed bj frosts. WHEN FILLING THE SILO. Ensllaore Mast Be ETenly Distribut ed if It Is to Keep Well, "While the silo is being filled a man should be there all the time to keep the surface level and especially to pack the silage next to the walls, where tkA greatest friction occurs in settling," says an Ornnge Judd Farmer writer, "If the silage be allowed to fall fronl the end of the carrier to the bottom of the silo, it will quickly form a conical heap, down the sides of which th# heaviest parts of the silage will roH and thus a separation of the coarse aud fine portions of the silage will be effected. This should be avoided. "To overcome this objection and to facilitate the work in the silo I had a flexible metal spout made that hog been In use now for several and It works very satisfactorily. It if made of a series of round galvanized Iron pipes that overlap each other fotXK Inches nml arc fastened one to the oth» er by means of a strap and a few: links of small chain on each side of ev» ery section. The snap engages a ring that Is riveted to the lower end of the section of pipe next above, etc. "These sections of pipe are 28 Inches long, 10 Inches in diameter at the small end and 11 Inches at the other end. Enough of these sections are made to reach from the end of tho carrier to within four feet of the bottom of the silo. The two sections next to the car* rier are made gradually larger than the others and of such shape as to accom' modate themselves to the end of the carrier. By directing the nozzle of this spout the man in the silo is enabled to place the silage exactly where It 1S wanted, and, most important of all, the grain, leaves and stalks are distribute ed in the proper proportions." Yellow I'ciclifi to the Ftfrtk There seems to be n growing tenden cy In the Michigan peach belt at tlx present time toward the planting o! yellow peaches to the exclusion largely sf the white kinds. This precludes to • great extent the possibility of any ol the newer white varieties becoming widely popular unless coming at a sea son when there are no good yellow va rieties ripening. The open city market gets the bulk of the white fruit now grown. Bayers much prefer yellow fruit, and special orders sent direct from consumer or dealer to the or chaidlst usually call for yellow peach es. This preference for yellow varieties doubtless comes about largely through the fact that as a rule yellow peaches handle better than white ones, arriving at their destination freer from dlscol* oration and In better condition gener ally. No doubt the advent of the me chanical grader, which subjects the fruit to more severe handling than grading by hand, will further enhance this preference for yellow varieties.— Michigan Station Bulletin.,. MISTAKES TO AVOID. An English paper gives what It terms "thirteen mistakes of 114 c:" It Is a great mistake to set up our own standard of right and wrong and Judge people accordingly. To measure the enjoyment of otherr by our own. To expect uniformity of opinion In this world. To look for Judgment and experleneo In youth. To endeavor to mold all dispositions alike. To look for perfection ID our own ac tions. To worry ourselves and others with what cannot l»e remedied. Not to yield In Immaterial matters. Not to alleviate all that needs allevia tion as far as lies In our power. Not to make allowances for the Infir mities of others. To consider everything Impossible that we cannot perform. To believe only what our Unite minds cau grasp. To expect to be able to understand •very t bl ug.
