Flandrau, In “ Viva, M exico!” for a strike that Involves nel ther a question o f material advantage nor of abstract principle. One after­ noon. during the busiest season of the year on a coffee-ranch, all the coffee- pickers, with the exception of one fain lly, suddenly struck. When asked what the trouble was, the spokesman. In a florid and pompous address, declared that they were "a ll brothers, and must pick together, or not at all.” It came out during the Interview that the father o f the fam ily who had not struck had received permission for himself, his w ife and b I x small chil­ dren to pick In a block of coffee by themselves, and to this the others had heen Induced to object. W hy they objected they could not say. because they did not know. It was explained to them that the man had wished his fam ily to work apart for the sole and sensible reason that, flr3t, he and his w ife could take bet­ ter care o f the children when they were not scattered among the crowd; and secondly, that as the trees of the particular block he had asked to be allowed to pick In were younger and smaller than the others, the children had less difficulty In reaching the branches. He had not only derived no financial advantage from the change, he was voluntarily making some sacrifice by going to pick where the coffee, owing to the' youth of the trees, was less abundant. "D on’t you see that this Is the truth and all there Is to It?" the strikers were asked. “ Tes." "A n d now that It has been explain­ ed, won’t you go back to work?" "N o ." "But why not?” "Because." "Because what?” "Because we must all pick togeth er.” A L M A -T A D E M A 'S COMMISSION.

" I received a visit from the English pic ture dealer, Gambart— II prlncIpe Gam bartl, as they used to call him In Italy. He was the picture dealer par excel lence o f this day and was naturally held In great respect by artists. I re member him on that first visit to me standing before my easel, on which I had posed my ‘Coming Out of Church,' and Instantly exclaiming: ’’ 'Did you paint that picture for the Vanderdonkts?’ " I assured him o f the fact. He asked me if they had seen It and what was the price. I told him that they had not seen It as yet. ‘W ell, then, said Gambart, ‘ I'll take tt. and let me have a couple o f dozen of that kind at progressive prices each half-dozen.’ It was really as If he had been buying bales of cotton. Of course. I thought and not without reason, that my for tune was as good as made. Moreover II prlncIpe Gambartl agreed that I might deal with the antique period I loved, Instead of the middle ages where I had latterly been seeking my subjects. And so It came about that some of the pictures by which I am perhaps, best known as a painter were Included In this first singular bargain "F ou r years did It take me to carry out Gambart's first commission and the day arrived when Gambart again paid me a visit. 'I want you,’ he said, ’tc paint me another four dozen pictures on the same condition of rising value. I consented and I did my best not to disappoint him. ‘The Vintage’ was paint ed as one of them and when the deal er saw It, perceiving that It was a fai more Important canvas than any of Its predecessors— a work, too, that had cost me far more time and labor— he at once insisted upon paying for It the figure which was to have heen given for the last half-dozen.” Theae “ Plante Out o f P lace“ H ava a Fix ed M xrke( Value. Money in weeds? To be sure. The national department of agriculture has been for many years telliug the farmers of the large money value go­ ing to waste each year in this coun­ try In the shape of pernicious weeds, and has been issuing bulletins with directions for collecting, curing and selling weeds. A quarter of a ceutury ago Dr. George B. Lorlng, the commis­ sioner of agriculture, called attention to the fact that in Germany many of the commonest and most pernicious weeds that the American farmer has to contend with were successfully and profitably cultivated, says the Kansas City Star. Burdock, dandelion, witch- grass, foxglove, mullein, Lorehound, Jimpson, mustard and water hemlock are among our commonest weeds and grow in great profusion almost every­ where in the United States. Ordinar­ ily they are regarded merely as trou­ blesome weeds. The trouble, of course. Is in the lazy habit of attempting to grow weeds and cultivated crops on the same land at the same time. So it often happens that the witchgras« between the potato rows Is more val­ uable than the tubers iu the hills. When you raise weeds you must make a business o f it. Land that w ill raise nothing else will raise weeds. The Jimpson grows In rank profusion about the feed lot, the front yard is yellow with dandelion flowers and the flow er« of the mullein bedeck the pastures. The burdock grows In the roadside fence corners, and the waste lot pro­ duces an abundance of witchgrass and comfrey, yet a m ajority of the drug weeds used In medicine in this coun­ try are still Imported, and paid for at a high rate. W ithout counting wormwood, tansy or rhubarb, all of which are weeds in favored places, and without Including catnip or pennyroyal or any of the mints, the American people are paying out more than $300,000 a year in hard- earned money for Imported weeds, which are grow ing wild in nearly ev­ ery part of the country.
