They say that Arthur Niessen read 

 my story about the crow of Ancient 

 Hindustan, and that he did not quite 

 get the point that old Laghupatanaki. 

 the crow was trying to inculcate to 

 us two-legged creatures. And that he 

 was still meditating on it one morn- 

 ing on a visit to Kennett square, that 

 quiet and peaceful Quaker country — 

 revered as the home of Bayard Tay- 

 lor — when a dog rushed out and bit 

 him on the leg. This brought him to 

 earth in a hurry, and he then realized 

 that Laghupatanaki was right about 

 It and that us humans never can tell 

 until after the event. Even the stu- 

 pidity of the iris, which so worries 

 Brother Sturtevant at times, can be 

 explained if the ancient wisdom of 

 Dhoorjatee. the god of prudence and 

 policy, be wisely followed. For as 

 Daraanakka, the dog. said to his 

 master, the lion: "It should not be 

 suspected of one whose life has been 

 spent in noble deeds that his reason 

 is lost when he is only involved in 

 trouble. A fire may be overturned. 

 but its flame will never descend." 



Now that we have :i few leisure 

 minutes from the rush of business in 

 the flower market the boys have a 

 chance to get together and have some 

 fun. There was a lively ball game on 

 the afternoon of the 16th between the 

 boys of the Pennock Company market 

 and a team composed of boys from 

 other wholesale and retail establish- 



ments. It was a good game while it 

 lasted, but it had to be called in the 

 fourth inning on account of rain. The 

 score at that time stood 16-3 in favor 

 of the Pennocks. The line-up was as 

 follows: 



Pennock 

 Daughbon, 3b 

 Swan, c 

 Kilgallon, 2b 

 Cox, lb 

 Capstick, p 

 Gaul, If 

 Culbertson, cf

John Habermehl is summering at 

 the shore, his address being The 

 Creston, Montpelier Ave., Atlantic 

 City. He attends to business daily in 

 Philadelphia, arriving every morning 

 at eight o'clock. He was reported on 

 the 13th inst. as on the sick list and 

 confined to his room. We trust it is 

 nothing serious. 



William Moore, late with C. E. 

 Meehan, succeeds Martin Gannon as 

 manager of the Alfred M. Campbell 

 store, 1512 Sansom street. Mr. Gan- 

 non is rumored to have taken over the 

 Doyle retail store in Kensington. 



Robert Craig has been under the 

 weather the past few weeks and is 

 taking things easy. He thinks Mr. 

 Therkildson would make an excel- 

 lent secretary of agriculture. 



Our own opinion coincides with that 

 idea but there are many among us 

 who think that we ought to go even 

 further and run him for president. 

 The ticket which they suggest along 



with Mr. Therkildson will no doubt 

 meet with universal approval in trade 

 circles. 



Paul Huebner is a big mogul these 

 days. Spends week ends on million- 

 aire yachts around Barnegat and At- 

 lantic City. Its a great thing to know^ 

 men like Louis H. Eisenlohr, and the 

 Wideners, and the Elkins, and people 

 like that! Next year Paul says he 

 will spend on the California Coast. It 

 makes us common folks feel a little 

 envious but there is one good thing 

 about it — Paul deserves it all. He is 

 one of Natures Noblemen. 



NEW YORK TO CLEVELAND. 



The transportation committee of the 

 New York Florists' Club has sent us a 

 copy of the booklet mailed out to club 

 members and others as a means of 

 gathering a representative party from 

 New York and vicinity for the coming 

 S. A. F. & 0. H. Convention at Cleve- 

 land, August 17, 18 and 19. Particu- 

 lars on how the party will travel and 

 the prospects of both a profitable and 

 enjoyable time for those who will make 

 up the party have been set forth in a 

 most inviting manner. 



For the reason that it is impossible 

 to make personal calls on all those 

 who propose to attend the Convention, 

 and a good sized party is expected, it is 

 hoped that the invitation in the book- 

 let will meet with a quick response. 



The desire of the committee to know 

 of your reservations as early as pos- 

 sible is necessary so that arrange- 

 ments may be made with the Lacka- 

 wanna Railroad for sufficient accomo- 

 dation. 



Reservations are to be sent to the 

 secretary of the transportation com- 

 mittee, C. Lowther, Box 100 Times 

 Square Station, New York City.
