Where (he Patch nelonjru.
A New Knglander recently had occa
sion to engage a gardener. One morn
ing two applicants appeared one a de
cidedly decent looking man, and the
other of much less prepossessing ap-t-ea
ranee and manner.
After very little hesitation, the man
of the house chose the latter appli
cant. A friend who was present, evinced
surprise at the selection, asking:
"lias that man ever worked for you
before?"
'No," replied the other; "In fact, I
never saw either of them until to-day."
"Then why did you choose the short
er man? The other had a much bet
ter face."
"Face!" exclaimed the proprietor of
the place, In disgust. "Let me tell you
that, when you pick out a gardener, j
young want to go by his overalls. If
they're patched on the knees you want
lilni. If the patch Is on the Beat of his
trousers, you dou't." Success Maga- j

dodged all Interviewers.
One paper sent a reporter to Mr.
Straus' house at night. Despite the
most insistent ami varied appeals sent
up by the reporter, Mr. Straus re
fused to see him. After each appeal
the butler brought back a polite reply
to the effect that Mrs. Straus was sick
and that Mr. Straus could not leave
her.
In despair the reporter left the house j
and telephoned his city editor that he
could not get an interview.
"Go back and try again," came to
him over the telephone.
To return ami plead for an Interview
was both useless and stupid. The re
porter sat down on a step and racked
his brains for a means of forcing an
Interview. Suddenly an Inspiration
came to him. He dashed across the
street to a drug stone, where he could
write, and penned this note :
"Dear Mr. Straus Please pardon me
