THERE was an office down town a quarter of a century ago. where many business men would meet daily about 5 P. M. and start homeward, via the "cocktail route." This "route" embraced half a dozen fiftt-class saloons in the heart of the city, the furthest one away being "Baby" McKee's, on Sixth street, near Washington. Strange to relate, the success of some corporations would seem to depend on the ability of the manager as a "mixer" and there have been cases related how a manager was removed because he could not take a drink, smoke a cigar or tell a story. There was a man named Z. T. Wright doing business near the corner of Front and Morrison streets about this time. He was an exemplary man, a promi nent church worker and a strict dis ciplinarian, with his own views of right and wrong. He was particularly adverse to the use of liquor and prided himself on the fact that he had never been inside a saloon in his life. In the Newmarket block, on First street, was the firm of Staver & Wal ker, with George W. Staver as head of the firm and Frank L. Brown as manager. The other member of the firm, Willis H. Walker, was killed ac cidentally by a hunter, who mistook him for a deer. Mr Stayer was a kind, gentle, af fable man, anxious to please every one, and full of generous impulses. Mr. Brown was a most urbane and polite man He is well remembered by the business men of that day for this characteristic. There had existed for some time an inharmonious feeling between Mr. Wright and the firm of Staver & Walker, which deeply grieved Mr. Staver, who sought to conciliate hla competitor. WrT.roWn - aMeIed to to assist In mollifying Mr. Wright. A note was written Mr. WriKht t. call, at a given time, at th office of Staver Walker for a conference. He respondd and was met by Mr. Staver and Mr. ltrown. Nobody knows what took place at this meeting, but Mr. Wright was seen cordially to shake hands with Mr. Staver. . It was the Intention of the firm or Staver & Walker to present any visit ing customers or disgruntled patron with a new hat, as a peace offering, or souvenir. True to this custom. Mr. Brown called a confidents! clerk to take Mr. Wright out and "buy tilm a hat." Tho clerk did not know Mr. Wright and evidently mistook him for one of the many farmers that came down to call on the firm. Instead of going out the front way. the clerk whispered to his companion, "Come back this way. here's the way we boys slip one over the old man.' He led Mr. Wright out Into tho rear of what was then the Wells-Farno Ki press office, through a room where dozen or more men sat playing csrdn. through another room where a game of billiards was In progress, and up to a magnificently appointed bur. snyina. "Here's where we buy the first in stallment on our hats." "Why, why, where are you bringing me?" exclaimed the surprised Mr. Wright. "This Is a barroom and Is no place for me." He beat a hasty retreat through the swinging doors, and that was the last time that a reconciliation between the twb firms was attempted. Mr. Wright could never be convinced that the affair had not been deliberate ly planned and executed. Although 25 years have elapsed sin- this occurrence, the story is told sf those interested with as much unction, as If It happened but yesterday. BAY WINDOWS EASILY MADE "CONSERVATORIES" Proper Care and Display of Potted Plants Is Practical Recreation and Effective Pastime Soil Selection Important WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. 16. (Special.) Many lovers of of flowers who have not the time to bother with an Indoor window box enjoy keeping a number of potted plants in the living-room during the Winter. Some, in fact, have turned a bay window into a small conservatory or Winter garden merely by an at tractive arrangement of plants in sep arate pots. When a window box is filled, the plants must be of the same general character to be successful, but if one's Winter garden Is made up of plants in eeparate pots a greater variety may be kept, as each plant may receive different treatment In the matter of light, watering, soil, etc., and palms, rubber plants and cacti, which call for special handling, may be added. Begonias, ivy, smllax and aspidistra, all good plants for indoor culture, de mand more or less the same treatment. Those who do not have gardens would do better to get potting soil of the nearest florist for their potted plants. Good potting oII may be pre pared at home, but It usually takes considerable care and forethought. Those willing to take the trouble may prepare it by using one part compost, one part good loam and one part sand. Well-decomposed leaf mould would answer as a partial substitute for the compost. One-twentieth part bone meal Is a good addition to the mixture. If the loam is very heavy, containing much clay, its proportion should be somewhat diminished. If the loam Is light and sandy, reduce the amount of sand, or in some localtles omit It al together. ' . Potted plants should be examined oc casionally to see whether or not t It plant requires repotting. This Is don. by holding the hands over tlie top of the pot. inverting plant and all, tap ping the edge of the pot so a to loosen it, then lifting the pot olf. This cannot be done unless the soil Is mod relately moist. If the ball of earth t completely covered with roots. th plant should be put in a slightly larger pot with new potting soli "firmed ' about the old ball of earth by "firm ing" with the fingers. Then wet thoroughly. A housewife who desires a few polled plants, but docs not- possess the res ulation flower pots, may prepare tin cans that will be quite .arlsfartory. A small hole should be made In III" bottom of the ran and a piece or broken crockery or a few ston.s put in the bottom of the tan before the earth Is added In order to give th. proper drainage. The stones or cro k ery should be also used In the regular flower pot. MAN ACCUSES OWN SON Youth Held on Cliarge of Hoboing . Father and Haby fcislrr. PHILADELPHIA, Jan.
