Plant Culture.
Mrs. Subbub was going away for the
summer. She ctood with her beet bon
net perched on her head, a band-box in
one hand and a bird-cage in the other.
"Now, John," she said to her huBband
juet before she went out the door, "don't
for mercy sake forget the plants. Take
good care of them and water them every
morning before you go down town."
"All right, Mary," sighed John, as he
looked in despair at the rows and rows
of flowerpots filled with thrifty plants,
"I'll take good care of 'em."
Mrs. Subbub then bundled onto the
Smith's Villa car and went to her train
and was whirled away to her destina
tion. She was gone two months. When she
arrived home one day she kissed John a
resounding smack, hugged the children
and kissed them all around and then
happened to glance at her beloved
plants. Well, she simply threw her
hands up in the air like a drowning per
son and ejaculated: "Land sakee!"
Those plants looked like a lot of po
tato sprouts in the ctller in the spring
time. They were yellow and spindling
and scraggly.
Mrs. Subbub grasped one of the sixty
five pots and glanced at the bottom of
it. There was a cork in the little air
hole at the bottom. She dropped it and
picked up another one and it was fixed
in the same way.
'What on earth " began Mrs. Sub
bub. "Well, what do you suppose a man
wants to put water in a flowerpot for
when it all runs right out the bottom?"
exclaimed John in a sort of crestfallen
way, as be began to realize that he had
made a woeful mistake. "I trifd to get
corks for 'em all, but couldn't get
enough, so I put some paper wads in
the holes."
t Well, Mrs. Subbub was just getting
home after being away two months and
she didn't say very much, but she
thought quite a lot. W. R. Dunroy.
Happened Right in the Family.
The cross examiner was a smart man,
whose object was to disconcert the wit
ness and discredit his testimony.
"What did you say your name was?"
was the first question.
"Michael Doherty."
"Michael Doherty, eh? Now, Doher
ty, answer this question carefully. Are
you a married man?"
"Oi think so, Oi was married."
"So you think because yoa got mar
ried that ycu are a married man, do
you? Now, tell me whom you married."
"Who Oi married? I married a wo
man." "Now, don't you know Letter than to
trifle with the court? Of course you
married a woman; did you ever hear of
any one marrying a man?"
"Yes, moi sister did." London Spare

Miss Dykermeadows They had not

Mies Bensonhurst Well, he heard
her say that if a house was kept or

it should be cleaned every spring. The
