New York a pressman whom every old
timer on th-- Row knows. Ho was re-
garded fifteen yea-s ago as one of the
nubt able reporters in Uie citv. Ho lias
worked and worked among the best on
all the grrat papers and done
some of the brightest and cleverest
reportorial work that has
got into print in the metropolitan dai-
lies. But ho K a confirmed rover and
can never lo counted on from day to
day. He makes periodical disappear-
anee from New York and after months
is heard of as being connected with
some out-of-town paper. He always
gets good berths for his ability com-
mands n-spect and has a tangible value.
Pormeriy ho did not eo further away
than Philadelnhi-i. Baltimore. Albany or
Hartford. Th-n he began to drift to
such distances as Boston and Pitts-
burgh. Then his operations extended
to Chicago. St Louis and into Minne-
sota and Dakota. When I shook hands

The judge's house was over in the
French quarter of New Orleans unat-
tractive otitside; but as soon as yon got
jnto the1 broad hall a cool breeze struck
you laden without exaggeration with
the balm of a thousand flowers. The
hall led right through the house and
opened into a regular fairy-land
llowers( a garden the like of which I
had neVer dreamed of. It waa sur-
rounded by a high wall and had plants
in it from every country under the sun.
The white-haired old gentleman and a
OTOup of grandchildren hanging about
him took us about; and the lifbt thing
we stopped at was a large oval pot. set
out with small plants around the.qdge.
