Iris --i E Bore "It was urged against me that I was not a .native of this State, but fnat fact does not imply that I shall ajdminister its affairs less jealously than one of her own sons would have done. The State of my adoption is unspeakably dear to me, its welfare a j sacred trust. The humblest blossom of its broad prairies is as beautiful in my eyes as the richest rose of my own Florida." A jangle, a clang, a whistle and a puff cut short the speech, acl as the : train pulled out of the country sta tion, the newly elected Governor / bowed and smiled with the inimitable gr?ce thavaiways caught the popular fancy. He turned with a little boyish swi ag that told of youth and strength and happiness, and as the little knot of men filed from the rear platform back into the car, he looked down Into the eyes of the friend at his elbow with a quizzical look, which 1 seemed to say, "I don't take myself half as seriously as all this sounds." The friendly reporters'" exchanged pleased glasees, and those for the op position pacers confided one to an other that Perriton was playing to the grand stand for all he was worth. , A tall, handsome woman, who "had sat looking out at the crowd about the train, smiled proudly up at him as he resumed his seat beside her; and the train sped on to the capital, where the next day he would take his place as Chief Executive. A little eager-faced old woman stood gazing after the train, her eyes shining and her cheeks flushed with > excitement. "Oh, I like that great, 'big, fine young man, Hebby!" she exclaimed ' ta- the girl? beside her. "He is the first Governor I've ever set er?s upon, and I wouldn't take anything for get ting to see him to-day. My, that was a pretty speech! Human nature will .poke out, Hebby, and it showed up when he said what he did about the flowers-talking about humble prairie blossoms and rich Florida roses.' I don't think one mite nor grain the less bf him for that, but I . do. wish he could get one ?look at some o? my red Irish roses before he talks about humble prairie blossoms too much, don't you, Hebby?" "Why.yes, I guess so, Miss Patty," iissented Hepzibah Hay, absently. "You know my aunt planted the first one of those bushes on the prairie forty-five years ago, when we were the only white people in the set tlement, myjdear-" Hebby managed adroitly to get the ell woman started toward the dry f oods emporium, and heard the rest cf that familiar story as they walked slowly in that direction. She had teen willing enqugh to crowd up for one curious look at the Governor, but ho and his speech and future career - rarere all alike of minor importance to'her, for Hebby had come to town to buy her wedding finery, and har thoughts were occupied with mental t calculations of means and measures. Miss Patty's presence was a neces sity upon this expedition, for it was her wiry little fingers that were to fashion the new frocks, aud Hebby . well knew that the sharp blue eyes o? the little dressmaker were the ones . to ' distinguish in a trice the bridal grays ;that would "pink up" with wear, the. blacks that would crock, the goods that would pull- in the seams, and fabrics that would fray easily. Hepzibah was most eminently prac tical i and in view of certain ambitions that she held, as well as of the fact .that Ruius Ponder was a young man of great promise, but small income, she meant to provide for her trous seau such dresses as would "wear well and not show dirt" for years to come. ';- A troubled look that she did not at all understand had clouded her - lover's eyes when she refused that little wedding trip that he had planned, assuring him that it would be better for them not to incur that expenditure, especially as the wed ding was to tak? place just at a crit ical time of the poultry season, when the young chickens and turkeys she would be carrying to her new home would be just at an age to need daily Attention. ? "Miss Patty surely makes me tired," Hebby confided to RUfus, the evening before the wedding. "You know I've had to be at her house a great leal since she has been mak ing my dresses, and she hasn't been - _ able to talk about a single thing ex cept the Governor since she saw him that day at Ru mb let on. She reads every word the papers say about him, and just let her get me helpless and at her mercy while she fits me, and she tells lt ali over to me." "Well, he is a big man," said Rufus. "If the cat doesn't jump the wrong way in this veto business, he is going to make the cleanest and best Governor this State has had for years. I don't blame Miss Patty! I wish ; I had been in Rumbleton, too, that day, so I could have had a look at . him. I had thought we'd go up to the capital on our trip-" He hesitated a moment, and then resumed, T think he will decide pretty soon about that veto. You read the papers, don't you. Kebby?" "A little," she admitted, guardedly, and then her native candor compelled her to add that she always, skipped the parts that dealt with politics, as they did not Interest her. . / "Well, lt is just this way," began Rufus, and Hebby resigned herself with a sigh to listen. "The Governor ls right now in a tight place. He made the campaign with a rush and swing, and he is the farmers' idol, and no mistake about that, but they say the other side is trying hard to get him tangled up. "This Holt bill now has squeezed through both Houses, in some way or L- another, but he can veto it if he will, j and he ought to. The people that j are asking for that franchise are rich enough to buy it, and instead of giv \. ing away all that territory, it ought ! to be sold at living prices to farmers ? that would go out there and develop i tho land. I.b??ieve he'll do the right i thing, but it'll be a pull. His wife is I tho daughter of old man Holt, and h Roses. - HELLE WIGHT. I know he'd hate to give her any worry, but it'll mean worry for her and him, too, if he decides to be his own man while he is in office. There Is a ring up there at che capital-" A yawn interrupted him, ? and Hebby laughed and apologized. "I believe you are as daft over him as Miss Patty is. Rufus, " she said. "Lot me tell you what an absurd .thing Miss Patty is meaning to do. This afternoon I ran up to her house on an errand.^and I found her com posing a letter Ho the Governor. She read it over to rr.e, and bad me help hei to get it into some sort of shape, but I didn't dare correct her spelling. She has written her good opinion of him-, and sending her a box of hw red Irish, roses, to show him that the West could make as fine roses as Florida, and she went over the same old tale you have heard before of those Irish roses being the first civil ized flowers planted on the prairie. She is going lo send the letter to-mor row, and a bunch of roses by the same mail in a shoe-box! The Gov ernor will laugh at her poor little letter, and he won't even look at her flowers. Why, Rufus, I've seen the kind of roses they have in the city, great things as big as a-teacup, with stems a yard long, and such colors! By the side of them, Aunt Patty's tight little red roses would look like humble prairie blossoms indeed. I told you what he said in his speech, didn't I?" "Yes," replied Rufus, dubiously. "If I were the Governor, I would not care how big and line the city roses were; I'd appreciate those from some body that admired and thought kind ly of me." Hebby stretched up her strong young arms above her head, and laughed. "I don't know whether you'll ever be Governor, Rufus, but I'll tell you what you will be- inside of twenty years, if you and I both live-you'll be the richest man in this community. Pa says so, and I know it is the .truth." He made no immediate reply, and again that * look came into his eyes that she could not understand; but presently he began speaking of per sonal matters, and Hebby's face kindled as he told her of a new poul try-house he had that day begun from' some plans she had once mentioned to him. Their new house was already finished and.furnished, and he was living there, and in leisure moments working hard to fit out the runs and yards to Hebby's hart's desire. When Hebby went to slsep that night she was thinking happily of the new life she was to enter with so much energy, and now and then came an occasional thought of Rufus' good temper and gentleness. He was a dear fellow, even if it was true, as her father had said, that their worldly success was going to depend on her own shrewd management more than upon -Ruf us* hard work. The wedding was to take place at ten o'clock, but although Hebby and her family sat waiting and. ready, the groom did pot appear at that hour, nor at eleven, nor at twelve; and then some one rode over to the new house to investigate. Hebby was the first to see the mes senger come flying b~ck down the road in a cloud of dust. "Quick!" he shouted. "Some of you go over to Rufus'-he is badly hurt! I'll go on to town for the doctor. He did not tarry for any explana tions, and Hebby, anxious-eyed and pale, was soon driving fast toward her new home with her father. She hur ried up into the house and through its rooms, calling Rufus' name, then through the back yard, and down under the slope, where the poultry runs extended to a little spring. "Here, Hebby! " answered the voice of Miss Patty Parker, and there, just beside one of the new poultry-houses, amid a litter of freshly cut tin, lay Rufus, pale as death and with his eyes closed. Miss Patty held his head upen her knee, and with one hand was holding the stick in a tourniquet., made of a corner of her best white ruffled apron. The blood on the edge of the tin beneath his wrist told that in some way he had severed' an artery, but Hebby did not ask any questions. One look at that still white face sent her running to the little spring, where she wet her handkerchief in the cool water and bathed his face. Her father went for a vessel and I plenty of water, and in a little while Rufus opened his eyes. Hebby smiled and spoke quietly. "Well, Hebby," said Miss Patty, ad miringly, as the girl deftly removed his head to her own knee and took gentle hold of the tourniquet, "you are a wonder! That's right, just he quiet and don't take on a single bit. Rufus'll be all right just as soon as the doctor can bind up that wrist, and the wedding can go right on. Don't you take on a bit-just keep him quiet." Hebby was not given to "taking on," but.her lips trembled, and the' eyes that were bent * wn to her lov er's were full of tears>?-a she sat and heard how Miss Patty had stopped on her way to the postofuce early.that morning to bring Rufus a root ot ber rose-bush, and had found him in a faint beneath the new chicken-house, with the blood spurting out of his wrist. By and by the doctor came, and Rufus was carried inside the house and made comfortable; bute Hebby ran back down the bill alone, and looked about her. Everywhere were evidences o? his loving care for her-the new houses and yards she had planned, the little spring-house already begun, and lying close to where he had lain was a little rose-bush, all withered under the sun. Off, where Miss Patty had dropped It in her excitement, and forgotten it, was a shoe-box wrapped in brown paper and addressed to the Governor. Hebby stooped and picked it up. but instead of smiling at its absurdity, she dropped some .tears upon it. Hebby was not a crying girl, but some thoughts and leelingB vero taking f root m ?er heart that made it very tender, and called for expression. "Oh, don't be crying!" came the hearty voice of the old" doctor, who had followed her. "Rufus ls all right* and the preacher has come. Your young man will be about in a day or two, and next time he will have better sense than to be tinkering with tin on top of a house on his wedding day -he'll know his hands are liable to be shaky. " "I hope he'll not have another wedding day," replied Hebby, smil ing. That afternoon, when the two were alone and the new house very quiet, Hebby. sat hold his hand and looking down at him. "You seem different, somehow, Hebby," he^said. "I never saw your eyes look like that before." "You never saw your wife's eyes before," she answered, blushing. "Maybe, though, you don't like the change-" "But I do!" he protested, and Hebby looked away out of the win dow, to where on a shelf on the back porch sat the shoe-box of roses. She had opened and looked into them. They were wrapped in wet cottop, and the heat was already withering them. Poor Miss Patty knew so little about packing flowers! The little soul had forgotten all about the Governor in Rufus' accident, and had not even thought of her box of roses when she hurried back home to make prepara tions, very proud that Hebby had asked her to come back and stay with them that night. "Rufus," said Hebby, after a pause, "the doctor thinks you will be out by day after to-morrow. Do you think you could stand the trip up to the city? If you can, I'd like to take that trip you spoke, of. " "Would you, Hebby?" he cried, gladly. "Well, I'd like that, and we'd see the Governor." "I wonder if you would mind tak ing Miss Patty, too?" said Hebby, timidly. "Well, rather not, considering that if it hadn't been for Miss Patty I wouldn't be caring any more about Governors or wedding trips, either. Yes, let's take her, by all means, if she'd like to go." A few days later a young woman in bridal gray and a tall young man with his^arm in a sling walked into the grounds about the Capitol. Be tween them was an eager-faced little old woman, whose blue eyes were tak ing In all the sight!; and whose tongue was going cheerily. "I'd think they were the traditional bridal couple, if lt wasn't for the old lady," said the Governor's special friend to the tall, handsome woman at his side; and just then the trio came up. "How can we see the Governor?" asked Rufus. "On business?" said the friend. "Oh, no-just see him and hear him talk-maybe he might be going to make a speech. We just want to see him," said Rufus; and then Miss Patty put in, proudly: "And we've brought him some flow ers from the first civilized rose-bushes that ever were planted in the prairie soil of Clinch County." "Clinch? The best county in the State for farming, and the one that gave the Governor his biggest ma jority!" exclaimed the gentleman, heartily. And then Miss Patty's enthusiasm poured itself out in a torrent as she told him how she admired the Gov ernor, and how her people and the grandparents of Rufus and Hebby had been the first settlers in Clinch Coun ty; how she had watched the land blossoming out into home3 and towns, with their churches and school houses, homes and happiness for thousands who came first because the price of land made it possible for them to live. s The gentleman listened very cour teously, and if Hebby felt a little fear that Miss Patty was becoming tire some, she did not allow her restless ness to show itself. The woman in the wonderful white dress, a filmy, cobwebby thing which Hebby decided had been purchased with a regal dis regard of wearing qualities, stood looking down into Miss Patty's eager face, listening in the queerest way, as if something she had heard before was assuming form and meaning to her. She did not smile, and there was a tired little droop to her eyes, but there was that in her exquisite ness, her grace and softness, that re minded Hebby of the hothouse flow ers, with their long stems and won drous tints. "Oh, that was so Interesting!" she exclaimed, with a sigh, and a smile that transfigured .the gray eyes, as Miss Patty, a little abashed at her own volubility, shrank back toward Hebby. "I am so glad to have heard you tell all that! Now, this is Mr. Marsh, the Governor's secretary," continued the lady, "and If you will give him your address, he will send you cards for a reception at the man sion to-night. I know the Governor will be glad to see you. And don't forget to send him the roses this afternoon," she concluded, with an other smile. That night, when the three came to where the Governor- stood, he seemed to know, and to be expecting them, so hearty was his hand-shake, so cordial his greeting; and lo! there by his side stood the lady they had seen in the Capitol grounds, and on the bosom of her silken gown lay a great bunch of red Irish roses. Mis? Patty almost jumped with sur prise and delight when she recognized them there, and the Governor's wife laughed. " "Didn't you notice the Governor's button-i-_le?" she whispered; and sure enough, he, too, wore a tiny bud from the first civilized rose-bush that ever grew in Clinch County. The next morning, as the three were journeying home from their bridal tour, Rufus read to his wife and Miss Patty from the newspaper that the Governor had vetoed the Holt bill.-Youth's Companion.

When a property-owner knows nothing about paint lt is bad for the property-owner, and bad for the painter. It would not. bo so if the property-owner would always hire a skilled painter and then really leave everything to him. But the house owner so often fools himself on one or the other of these things. , The skilled painter in every com munity has some of the. most incom petent competitors that ever vexed a conscientious workman or contractor, and the incompetents get jobs gener ally by working cheap. In the next place,' when the skilled painter is hired, they do not leave everything to him, as so many property-owners boast they do. They interfere most ignorantly and most fatally. They insiBt sometimes on using paint materials without in vestigating whether they are good or not. Or perhaps they insist on the painter's hurrying the work. "I'm not going to have this painter's mess around my bouse a month," the wife says, and what wife says goes at the cost of a lot of wasted painting money. If the painter stays away a few days to allow the paint to thoroughly dry the owner says: "That painter's aeglectlng this work-guess he's side tracking me for Jones' work. I won't stand lt." What chance does a painter have to do good work for a man who is con tinually nagging at him and other wise handicapping him (without meaning it, of course) ? A poor job is the inevitable result of such inter ference. Poor painting costs the houseowner money-don't forget that.

Slotkin, 236 1-2 Madison street, contemplates placing with Cy De Vry, keeper of the zooligical garden. The cats were brought from Sydney, Australia, and arrived in Chicago Saturday. In shape of body, except for the absence of hind legs,* they are the exact pro totype of the ordinary house cat. On account of possessing only two legs they resemble to some extent the kangaroo, yet differing from that ani mal, they walk on their front legs, which are of normal size and shape. Their gait may be liekend to that of a tight-rope walker as they gracefully poise themselves, retaining perfect equilibrium. They possess no hips or joints of any kind which may ' have been intended for the missing legs, the spinal column of each proceeding without interruption- to the tail. They were examined with great interest by certain German professors at Bremen while en route, and they, it is said, were unable to offer any explanation for the deformity, as the cats were crossed with no other animal.-Chi cago Daily News.
