op* We are sending out a
number of statements to subscribers
in arrears. There are
now on our books nearly 2,000
subscribers, many of whom
have paid nothing in a year or
longer. We ask all these delinquents
to settle up as soon,
as possible. Each account is
made out up to the nearest year
or half year. It may be that
some who get these statements
have already paid; if so just call
cir attention to the fact and
u?e will cheerfully make the
correction. All we want is
what is due us and not a cent
more. But we do want that.

ANECDOTE OF A FLOWER.
A Ruaaian Nobiaman (lav Z*Mury
Plant Its N'ar
About two centuries a?*> a Russian
nobleman traveling in Mexico
saw an?l admire! the maguey
plant, which is a native of Mexico.
The plant was so much admired
by the Russian for its beautv and
utility that he was ^ager to have
growing specimens in his own couni.
o - i xr L.
irv. "?<? wikm leaving jicaicu iiv
procured some roots to take home
to the czar as a present.
On hia first visit to court, after
he reached the capital city, he told
of the wonderful plant and asked
permission of the czar to present to
him the specimens which he had.
The czar graciously granted his request
and gave the roots to the
court gardener, who promised to
give the plants his best attention,
but unfortunately before he could
plant them properly as he intended
ne was taken suddenly ill and died
without having accomplished any-;
thing.
Another gardener was appointed.
In the meantime the roots lay in the
sack in which they were first placed.
The new gardener, not knowing
their value, threw the sack awsry,
and it lay unheeded in a corner of
the garden day after day. Some
time afterward his little daughter
picked up one of the roots and in a
pi ay i m mwu piaiitcru i\>r paiu*
no further attention to- it. The
czar had forgotten all about it. In
course of time the ruler died and
also the second gardener.
The plant in after years put out a
few spikes for leaves, but did not
thrive in the cold air of Russia. It '
grew very slowly, and its origin was
not known to an one save the wife
?f the former gardener and the
child that planted it.
Years passed, and still the strange
plant, with its thick, long, straight
leaves, now nearly sir feet tall, did
not bloom, but as it grew taller it
attracted notice, and the new czar
sometimes looked at it and wondered
if it would ever bloom.
In time he, too, died, and! still j
the maguey bloomed not.
But just after the coronation of
another czar a stalk shot up from
the root of the plant and rapidly
grew to the height of twenty feet.
Soon many clusters of small: buds
appeared, which slowly unfolded
and became' white blossoms^ The
wonderful plant had bloomed at
last.
The gardener said it was 100
years old and had bloomed in honor
of the new czar. Word was sent
to him, and he and his whoie court
visited and admired the flowers and
the plant.
The poor exile from the 6unny
skies of Mexico had earned its reward
and a new name, for ever since
that day it has been known as "the
century plant."

A man who had served two terms
in congress was making a campaign
for a third term. In the course of
a speech in the town hall at Broomcorn
Junction, a village near the
farther boundary of his district, he
said:
'*lt is true, fellow citizens, that I
have not always been able to do as
much as 1 should like to do in the
matter of internal improvements in
this district, but I have never lost
sight of your interests for a single
moment. You have no idea of the
' * " * '1 . M -
obstacles that lie in tne way 01 a
congressman who tries to secure appropriations
for public buildings,
the improvement of navigable
streams and the like for the benefit
of his constituents, but I want to
assure you, fellow citizens, that I
have labored constantly in your behalf
to the very best of mv ability."
"We know it!" shouted an old
farmer in the audience. 'That's
why we want an abler man!"
