POTTING SHED PHILOSOPHY. 



A rooted cutting specialist sends out a 

 card with the following: 



* ' Did it ever occur to you that a man 's 

 life is full of crosses and temptations f 

 H^ comes into the world without his con- 

 sent, and goes out against his will, and 

 the trip between is exceedingly rocky. 

 The rule of contraries is one of the fea- 

 tures of the trip. 



"When he is little, the big girls kiss 

 him; when he is big the little girls kiss 

 him. If he is poor, he is a bad manager ; 

 if he is rich, he is dishonest. If he needs 

 credit, he can't get it; if he is pros- 

 perous, everyone wants to do him a 

 favor. 



"If he is in politics, it is for graft. 

 If he is out of politics, he is no good to 

 the country. If he doesn't gfive to char- 

 ity, he is a stingy cuss; if he does, it is 

 for show. If he is actively religious, he 

 is a hypocrite; if he takes no interest in 

 religion, he is a hardened sinner. 



"If he gives affection, he is a soft 

 specimen; if he cares for no one, he is 

 cold-blooded. If he dies young, there 

 was a future for him; if he lives to an 

 old age, he missed his calling. 



"If he saves money, he is a grouch; 

 if he spends it, he is a loafer; if he gets 

 it, he is a grafter; if he don't get it, 

 he's a bum. So what's the usef Life is 

 one damn thing after another; but since 

 you must tarry here for a while, you 

 might as well make the most of it by 

 sending me an order for your rooted cut- 

 tings. ' ' 



CRICKET SAVED GREENHOUSES. 



Attention! All ye nature fakers! Can

 Wash.: 



"Last Friday night the costly green- 

 house and buildings of the Milot-Mills 

 Floral Co. would have been burned to the 

 ground if it had not been for the timely 

 warning of 'Billiken,' a pet cricket that 

 Leon Milot has been taming for some 

 time. 



"So far he has never seen Billiken, 

 but the chirping starts up every time he 

 enters the greenhouse. Milot always 

 chirps back, and a friendship sprang up 

 between him and Billiken that itood him 

 in good stead a few nights ago.

the night by Billiken 's chirping, and as 

 the noise was not only at an unusual 

 hour, but also more pronounced than ever 

 before, Mr. Milot decided that something 

 must be wrong. He did not get up at 

 first, but waited and wondered what it 

 could be that was distressing Billiken so 

 very much. Finally he got up and fol- 

 lowed in the direction of the chirping. 

 Down in the furnace room there was 

 cause enough. A large pile of newspapers 

 had caught fire, and in a little while 

 more the building would have been 

 burned to the ground. 



"Mr. Milot was able to put the fire 

 out alone, and Billiken evidently went 

 back to bed, exhausted by his frantic at- 

 tempts at saving the nursery. 



"So far Billiken is still too shy to 

 come out, but his cheerful chirp is heard 

 around the greenhouse every day, assur- 

 ing his friend that he is always on the 

 job, ready any moment to chirp the fire 

 call."
