How About your Buggy?
If you want your buggy painted or
striped and made to look like new,
remember, CALLIS has had several
years experience, and will do your
work just as It should "e done. '
The Witches' Tree.
Country people speak of the elder
tree as "the witches' tree" and
planted it near farm buildings and
dairies to keep off witches. They also
say that the roots should never come
near a well, still less grow into it, or
the water will be spoiled. Evelyn's
opinion was also unfavorable. He
says: . "I do by no means commend
the scent of it. which is very noxious
to the air.
"We learn from Biesius that a cer
tain house in Spain, seated among
many elder trees, diseased and .killed
nearly all its inhabitants, which, when
at last they were grubbed up. became
a very healthy and wholesome place."
Cattle scarcely touch the elder, auc
the mole is driven away by the scent.
Carters ofteu place branches on their
horses' heads to Ueep off Qies. Noth
ing will grow well in the company of
the elder, and when it has been re
moved and all its roots carefully
grubbed up it is some few years be
fore the ground becomes perfectly
sweet and good for anything. Sel
borne's Magazine.
A Bit Tactless.
"Deie cert'nly is a coolness between
Mandy Jones an' Clay Jeff'son dese
days." remarked Aunt Clorinda to a
caller. "Is you got any idee what's de
trouble?"
"Yes, I is." was the gratifying an
swer. "Clay JefTson he done hurt her
feelings bad at de strawberry social,
an' Mandy is gwine t' hab dat boy
Tarn to be mo' carefuller in his talk
befo' she 'lows any mo' co'ting."
"What did he doV" demanded Aunt
Clorinda.
" 'Twan' what he do, ftwar what he
say," replied the well informed visitor.
"Miss Colby, dat was sarviDg: de sho't
cake, she ax Mandy will she hab a
second piece ob it, an' Mandy say, Jes,
a mouthful, Miss Colby, jes' a mouth
ful.' "An' dat triflin Clay Jeff'son he up
an' say. 'All you kin get on de plate.
Miss Colby,' he say.
"Co'se he tried to explainify away all
de trouble, but I reckon he's got to
sarve his 'prentieeship befo' Mandy
'cepts any 'pologies." Youth's Com
panion. Chief of the Orchid Tribe.
The giant orchid is the chieftain of
the orchid tribe. It attains propor
tions which make all other orchids ap
pear as miniatures in comparison.
A gigantic specimen may be seen
in Ceylon which is credited with being
the largest in the world. It under
went a growth of forty years before it
first fiowerc1. It bears about seventy
stems or pseudo bulbs, which vary
from six to ten feet in length, each
carrying over a hundred ribbon-like
leaves, which are from twenty to thir
ty inches long. The enormous flower
stalks are frm five and a half to eight
feet long, each bearing about a hun
dred flowers The plant remains in
flower for about two months, and as
many as 3.000 flowers may be counted
on it at once. The flowers, which are
scented, measure individually five and
a half to six inches across, their color
being yellow ground with large pur
plish or chocolate blotches. London
Strand Magazine.
No Time For Art.
"Real high art," said a comedian,
"seldom strikes home. I played In a
melodrama in my youth where the
leading characters were grand artists,
but their best scenes were only scoffed
at. Our villain had a death scene in
the sixth act. He reveled in that
scene. He writhed all over the stage.
It was real high art! In a small town
one night the scene shifter started to
lower the slow curtain on this death
much too soon. The dying villain, as
he kicked about, whispered hoarsely:
" 'Time there, young fellow. I ain't
dead yet.
" 'Dead or not dead.' said the shifter,
'me hot supper's waitin' fur me.' "
Almost Too Cruel.
A New York lawyer said at a dinner,
apropos of a certain legal decision:
"it was a cruel blow, as cruel as that
which a Bayside cook served on a
tramp. This filthy tramp, knocking at
the kitchen door, whined:
" 'I'm turrible hungry, lady. Could
ye gimme a small wedge o' fresh pie?'
" 'We're just out of pie,' said the
cook, "but here's a cake for you.
"And she banded the tramp a cake
of soap."
One Difference.
One of the differences between love
and a puppy is that a puppy ceases to
be blind when it is about nine days
old. Sometimes it takes love a little
longer to get its eyes open. Chicago

"Were you a bull or a bear in Wall
street?"

Exchange.
One Is Enough.
"Before she married him, you know,
she used to say there wasn't another
man like him in the world."
"Yes; and now she says she'd hate
to think that there was."

"Yes, sir."

About sixty or seventy people went
