SOME BANQUET STORIES. 



At the banquet to the American Car- 

 nation Society at Indianapolis some 

 very entertaining stories were told by 

 the various speakers. Mr. William 

 Scott, as usual, had the banner collec- 

 tion. One was about the illness and 

 death of an individual who was consid- 

 ered of such importance in his commu- 

 nity that bulletins were displayed on the 

 village church. The concluding bulle- 

 tins read as follows: -Brother Jones 

 growing weaker." "P.rother Jones has 

 died and gone to heaven." A local wag 

 hajipened along and added an additional 

 bulletin, reading: "Great excitement in 

 heaven. Brother Jones not arrived." 

 Another told of two bad boys who past- 

 ed two leaves of the Bible together where 

 the minister had placed his bookmark, 

 so that when the aged dominie read his 

 text he was made to read as follows: 

 "And Noah's wife was GO cubits long 

 ?nd 40 cubits wide and lined inside and 

 out witli pitch." 



In inl reducing llr, Carmody Mr, Hill 

 told the story of the pilgrim who vis- 

 ited the lower regions, and who was sur- 

 prised at the entire absence of Irishmen, 

 until informed by Beelzebub that there 

 were lots of them there, but they were 

 kept in a separate place, because they 

 were too green to burn, 



Jlr. Carmody said he had personally 

 visited the infernal regions, and related 

 a conversation he had had with his Sa- 

 tanic Majesty, in which it appeared that 

 the latter was planning to secure Jlr. 

 J. C. Vaughan as business manager. It 

 seems that :Mr. Carmody was allowed to 

 return from the hot corner only because 

 Beelzebub believed that he was con- 

 stantly bringing souls to his dimiinion 

 through the aggravation caused to mor- 

 tals by his "bilers and ventilatin' con- 

 trapshins." 



Mr. Marquisee, in response to a ref- 

 erence to his baldness, said that bald- 

 ness was not a sign of age. In fact, the 

 youngest [jerson he had ever seen was 

 quite bald. 



But there was a seiious as well as 

 humorous side to the program. Mr. 

 Marquisee, whose toast was "The Car- 

 nation of the Future," spoke of the com- 

 plete realization of the prediction made 

 by ilr, .lohn Thorpe many years ago, 

 and told of the directions in which prog- 

 ress may be looked for in the future, 



Jlr. Thorpe said his ideal had been 

 reached in a shorter time that he antici- 

 pated. He thought there were great 

 possibilities in the carnation as a pot 

 plant, and suggested that the society 

 would do well to oiler premiums for weil 

 grown and bloomed plants in pots, and 

 thereby stimulate progress in this direc- 

 tion. He said that at the Kansas City 

 show next fall the sum of $1,000 would 

 be offered in premiums for carnations. 



The title page for our special spring 

 number, to be issued March 20, is the 

 most beautiful and artistic design ever 

 used by any trade paper.
