"Can you tell me," asked the nice-

Washington street, "the nearest way to
the national bank?" "Which national
bank?" asked the gentleman addressed.
"Is there more than one?" asked the
lady in an astonished tone. "Lots of
them." Thus the gentleman, to which

(From the Springfield, Mass., Union.)
Thin isn't ii Kim manufacturer in the
United States, who does not know Jef-
ferson M. dough. He .ins beon Intimate-
ly associated all his life with the de-
velopment of the 1-temlnRton and
winchester rill< k. Kor years he was su-
perintendent of the K. ltemington &
Sons' great factory at Illon, N. Y.
After leaving there he refuai <1 a tempt-
ing ofTer of the Chinese government to
go to China to superintend their gov-
ernment factories,—and accepted in-
stead the superintendeney of the Win-
chester Arms Co., at New liuven, at a
salary of $7,000 a year.
It was after this long term of active
labor as a business man that he found
himself incapacitated for further service
by the embargo which rheumatism had
laid upon him and resigned his position
more than two years ago, anil returned
to Belchertown, Mass., wh"ie he now
lives and owns the l'helps farm.
Being a man of means he did not
spare the cost and was treated by lead-
ing physicians and by baths of cele-
brated springs without receiving any
benefit worth notice. During the sum-
mer of lN!i:i and the winter of 1 s:>4 Mr.
('lough was confined to his house in
Belchertown, being unable to rise from
his bed without assistance, and suffer-
ing continually with acute pains and
with no taste or desire for food, nor was
he able to obtain sufficient sleep.
Kariy in the year 1S04 Mr. <'lough
heard of l>r. Williams' i'ink Pills for
Pale People. He began taking these
pills about the first of March, 1894, and
continued to do so until the lirst part of
September following. The liis: effect
noticed was a better appetite and he
began to note more ability to help him-
self off tin' bed and to be better gen-
erally. bast August (1894) he was able
to go alone to his summer residence and
farm of 161! acres on Grenadier island,
among the Thousand islands, In the
ltiver St. Lawrence, where from the
highest land of Ids farm he commands a
view for thirteen miles down the river,
and sixty of the Thousand islands can
be seen.
Instead of being confined to his bed
Mr. Clough is now and has been for
some time able to be about the farm to
direct the men employed there and he is
Uutnkful for what I)r. Williams' l'ink
Pi Us Jjave done for him.
These pills are manufactured by tha
Dr. Williams' Medieing comp_aj:y, Sche-
nectady, X. V., and are sold only in
boxes ljjarlng the Arm's trade mark and
wrapper, at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $J.50 and are never soil in bulk.
They may be had of all druggists or
direct by mall from Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine company. .

If there Is anything in the world that
an elephant loves better than a peanut
it is an orange, and if any boy who
reads this wishes, when he goes to the
circus, to give the massive creature an
especial treat, instead of paying 5 cents
for a bag of peanuts to put in the ele-
phant's trunk, let him purchase for the
same money one good-sized orange and
present it to the small-eyed, flat-eared
monster. A number of years ago, in a
hook which was called "Leaves from
the Life of a Special Correspondent,"
Mr. O'Shea, the author of the book,
gave the following description of an
adventure lie had with a herd of ele-
phants. lie said: "A young friend
asked me once to show him some ele-
phants, and I took him along with me,
having first borrowed an apron filled
with oranges. This he was to carry
while acompanying me in the stable,
but the moment we reached the door
the herd set up such a trumpeting—
they had scented the fruit—that he
dropped the apron and its contents and
scuttled off like a scared rabbit. There
were eight elephants, and when I
picked up the oranges 1 found 1 had
twenty-five. I walked deliberately
i'.long the line, giving one to each.
When I got to the extremity of the
nrrow stable I turned and was about
to begin distribution again, when 1
suddenly reflected that if elephant No.
7 in the row saw me give two oranges
in succession to No. S he might imagine
he was being cheated and give me a
smack with his trunk—that is where
the elephant falls short of the human
being—so I went to the door and be-
gan at the beginning as before. Thrice
I went along the line, and then I was
in a fix. I had one orange left, and I
had to get back to the door. Every ele-
phant in the herd had his greedy gaze
focused on that orange. It was as I
much as my life was worth to give it |
to any one of them. What was I to do? i
I held it up conspicuously, coolly j
peeled it, and ate it myself. It was i
niost amusing to notice the way those j
elephants nudged each other and shook j
their ponderous sides. They thor- j
oughly entered into the humor of the
thing."

A Letter to His Mother.
A gentleman in New York was clean-
ing out his desk the other day and tear-
ing up his old letters, when the pack
man, a son of Erin, who was in the
office, spoke up:
"Sure, sir. an' ye might gimme one
of them letters."
"What do you want it for?"
"I promised to write a letter to my
old mither in Cork, but as I hasn't
learned to write yet I can jess send her
one of them letters you hain't got no
use for. Hit will make her proud, hit

The gentleman gave the affectionate

All Flowers Were
Yellow.
Yellow and white. Botanists are
agreed that the earliest petals were yel-
low, and that, originally, all flowers',
were of that color. The order of de-
velopment of color in flowers appears
to be yellow, pink, red. purple, lilac, up
to deep blue—probably the highest
level—while white may occur in any
normally colored flower, just as albinos
! ire found among animals. As flowers

that about 4,200 species of plants are
utilized for various purposes in Europe.
Of these only about one-tenth have an
agreeable perfume, the others being
either inodorous or having an un-
pleasant smell. White flowers are the
most numerous. One thousand one
hundred and twenty-four species out
of 4,200 are white, and 1ST of these
have a scent; 931 (77 perfumed) are
yellow; next in order comes red, with

A Secreted Musician.
A little stowaway took possession of
the sandbox of a Franklin electric car
yesterday and made two successful
trips without molestation. He was
somewhat of a musical genius, and at
intervals his strong notes rising from
all parts of the car aroused the curios-
ity of the passengers. Who was the
ventriloquist? The faces of men and
women were eagerly watched on one
side of the car to find whence the music
proceeded. He was evidently an ama-
teur, with a good opinion of his own I
capabilities. At tlie end of the second |
trip the conductor removed some |
boards from the sandbox in order to 1
find him, but was outwitted by the I
sound from another part of the seat, j
Not until the cushions and boards were
all lifted could the merry little fellow j
be ejected, and then, with a sweep and j
J the music of "How lovely the life of a j
bird must be," he sought shelter in a j
I leafy tree. This little sparrow teaches
