The white iris, the Iris of the Flor entine orris-root. Is one of the loveli est blossoms in the iris family. It was a sarred flower of the O reeks. The French call It "la flawbe blanche."

Thoujch I watched early and late. I never saw him again. Perhaps this year when the yellow Iris buds nnd blossoms he will pay me 'another visit. There Is something occult about the iris, something mysterious. Examine 'be markings on its petals and you w-yi understand. Kren old-long-ago Spenser loved It, although he could not have known some of the lovely blos soms* of today, for he says no flower "shall match with the fayre Floure I >ellce." There Is a delightful story told about one of the Irises that have come to us from Japan, once upon a time there was a mighty famine in that land, and all things that would nor he used ? frrr ? food ? were ? forbidden ? fr> ? be grown, and no man might plant flow ers for beauty only. Hut the Japanese ladles used the roots of the iris with the jagged crest to powder their pretty faces. The mighty ones of the h:nd might banish the iris from the warden, hut the Japanese 'ladles carried them to the roof, and there they Wved ;4nd nourished. This iris, by the way, of a beautiful violet color came to England In 1S72. Air Mai! Succeeds.

That was when a par- j tlcular form of swindling on the part of horse dealers was branded with that word. l'alming off a sawbones for a good steed was deemed parallel to the ] tricks In hflrse^ trading, ?o common to gypsies, hence the term "gyp" to de note that kind of a fraud. >. Since the auto has largely replaced] the trotter and pacer fqr driving pur po.se*, the gyp game 1* not played so ; frequently now. It was once plied systematically by means of extensive advertising. Many a "rus In urlxt" lured first by a con vincing advertisement and then combed down by a slick come-on artist, p8jd ' a fancy price for what appeared to] him to be a tirst-class horse, only to discover next day he had bought a; l%m?*n. There was a regular medical treat ment of horses to make them appear j upry and spirited while under inspec- ^ tion. When the drug wore oft and tlie j j)oor horse was recovering from his ; Jag, he would likelier than not appear . a sorry animat. Gyp operators were as skillful In buying the precise kind of horses they needed as In selling them. They usu* ally looked for handsome ajiimals whose defects were vital and Incur able, but not noticeable. t * That meant a low price they paid the owner. A powerful drug would put enough pep jnto such a horse to fool the victim selected by the gyp opera tor. The workhorse you see In Phila delphia today Is a better animal than was his predecessor two decades ago. But the Philadelphia horse Is not In a class with the London horse, the Berlin horse or the Budapest horse. Stop at a farm going through Hun-! ' gary and you will be amazed at the ! superb horses. . "The brewer's big horses," which Billy Sunday sang could not run over' him,1 vrvre unusually fine specimens. One coal company lias also attracted ; much attention with Its teams of five or six great white horses bitched to ; one wagon. A high city official said to me: "Out. ? garbage horses are a better type than you e%er saw before doing that kln<J ; of work In this city," and I agreed with ' him. : This is about the season oH the yeat when in those gala times of four-ln ; hand coaches the city had an ey< feast on superb horseflesh.

"If the English farmer this year simply censes to grow crvps he will be keep ing money In his pocl^t instead of losing It." , The reasons for ?h.ls situ ation as given by the London news paper are several, a disturbed world, unstable exchanges, high railway rates, restricted credit, too short credit and' middlemen's profits.

No Reputation at all is Belter Thank Bad Reputation. Shelby, Mont., in order to "hcio|$? the town, gave $300,000 of the town's and state's good money Co a prise fighter for fighting fifteen round? it $20,000 a round, qr $5,000 a minute, and attracted to the town a lot t>f people, who will not stay a minute after .the town stops putting up mon ey, which seems to be the only good thing about it. 'JThat $300,000, .sj>ent in some other way would have done a lot for Shelby t %!ont., a great deal more than that well known philan thropist, patriot and moral leader Jack Dempsey, ever did, or will, ? Of courser a lot'of irrvr industries were attracted to Shelby, ? hiostly hqt dog stands and burlesque shows. And of course, Shelby got a lot of public ity? of an undesirable kind. If it had not been for the Dempsey a lot of us would never have heard of Shelby, Mont. ? and would never have known what a lot of easy murks the people of Shelby are. At the last minute Shelby was called upon to call upon the other cities of Montana to raise -the last $100,000 'to save the honor of Mon tana." In the words, slightly changed of another American patript. "If that be honor, make the most of it." Of all things, dor^'t "boost" your town. Work for it, serve it, make it a better town to live in, and it will boost itself. Except in Chicago and New~ York, and' a few villages here and there, the idea of "boosting" the town has given way to the better idea of making the town better. Then other people, strangers, visitors, passers through, new-comers, will boost the town ? you won't need to do it. God deliver us from the town booster, who boosts but nevfcr works. God send us the town worker, who works but never boosts. Shelby, Mont., with no reputation whatever, was vastly better off than Shelby, Mont., with the reputation it now has. ?
