HENRY F. MICHELL CO., 



Mention The Review when you write. 



He is never fazed; an invaluable mem- 

 ber of the body politic. Over on the 

 left is a young man, neat and jaunty in 

 appearance, v?ho has lately come over 

 into the government ranks. He has 

 named the vice-president, no small honor 

 for a yo'mg man these days, and is 

 chairman of an important committee. 



"Mr. President," he is saying, "money 

 is the grease that makes the wheels of 

 progress run smoothly; without that 

 grease the axle creaks, progress is slow. ' ' 

 The house is with him. This is Charles 

 H. Grakelow. 



There are some other speakers on both 

 sides of the chamber, and many who 



prefer to remain listeners, of more than 

 local repute ; men whose names are house- 

 hold words in circles floricultural and 

 whose doings and sayings are frequently 

 chronicled in these columns. But the 

 chairman is calling his motion to ad- 

 journ and the ayes have it. 



Various Notes.

 ciety held its annual chrysanthemum
