OA-US BRYSON AND FAMILY.;
(©, 1921, by McClure Nswapaper Syndicate.)
Mr. Bowser was going' over to the
Store on an errand the other evening
when he met a man named Jones, with
w'hom he hnd a slight acquaintance.
Mr. Jones was walking by fast and
seemed very much excited, and it was
perfectly natural that Mr. Bowser
should ask:
“What’s up, Mr. Jones—^Is any of
the family sickT’
“No, 3\Ir. Bowser, but I was going
to the police station, and I wish you
would go along with me.”
“Why do you go to the police sta
tion?” queried Mr. Bowser.
“Say, I made a great discovery, and
an awful tragedy may be close at
hand!”
“Tragedy?”
“Ye.*?, one of the worst tragedies
that ever happened in this town. 1
am glad I met you. You will tell me
what to do.”
“I can always tell a person what to
do!” pompously replied Mr. Bowser,
“do rl^iit ahead and tell me about the
ili.SCO very.”
“It Is ]ike this,” said Mr. Jones. “I
'vas wjiitin,!? for the car, about six
Iti.x ks down the street, when I saw a
man sneak into an alleyway, between
hi' cohhlcr shop and the grocer. He
carried something imder his ann and
he carried it mi^'hty carefully. My
•;nsT>icinns won* aroused at once.”
“Tliafs rifiht,” said Mr. Bowser, as
lie patted him on the shoulder. “Al
ways have suspicions. (Jo on.”
“The man ran our, of the other end
of the passajre, and I went in to see
what lie had been up to. I found a
lio\ ill there, which he had left. It
\v:is abi'Ut the siz** of a cisar box' and

Drawing a long breath, he entered
the passage and, midway of It he
found the cigjir box. It was reposing
on the ground as sweetly and. softly
as a young lamb. No one, to look at
It, would dream that it contained tlie
lives of hundreds or thousands of peo
ple. It w’ould ^low that grocery a
hundred feet high, and the grocer
would never again sell butter at 70
cents a pound. It would, at the same
time, send the fragments of that cob
bler shop four blocks long and the old
cobbler who had raised his prices three
times would never raise them again.
In fact. Me w'ould be raised himself
and when the fragments of his anat
omy came down, the most expert doc
tor of surgery could not patch them
together.
There was the Robin Hood club
across the street. There would be
about 50 Robins roosting inside and
pmoklng their cigarettes and drinking
their champagne. In one instant they
would be wiped ofC the earth, and their
blood mixed with brick and water.

Raised Rare Orchid f^rom Seed.
The ll/.ai’d orchid has. been saved
from extinction by the efforts of a
cottager in Kent. He has proved that
is is amenable toi cultivation from
seed. At one time this rarest and
most beautiful of British orchids was
Thought to have entirely disappeared,
and the finding of a siiecimen in Kent
after a lapse* of many years caused
quite a sensation among botanists.
Since #hen only isolated specimens
have been found at considerable in-
ter\-als. Now, however, a cottsger
named Fox, living at Adisham, n^;>ar
Canterbury, has succeeded in raising
a number of plants from seed sown
under natural conditions, and has a
score or so of plants in bloom.—Lon

Secretary of State Hughes said at
a dinner, apropos of the army of office-
seelcers that is infesting Washington:
‘‘Political appointments should be
made carefully. The average politi
cal appointment reminds me of an an
ecdote :
“Louis XV once appointed as roya!
librarian a ceitaln gay blade nnnied
Blgnon.
“The appointment was most unsuit
able, and when M. d’Argenson, Uig-
non’s uncle, beard of it, he said:
‘“Excijrtent, my boy! At last you’ll
have an importunity to learn to
read.’”
