It occurred to him sotnr months ago that though there ate no gardens In his district some of his constituents might grow plants In boxes placed on window hIHs or lire escapes, so he sent an assortment as-sortment nf seed to the Inmate of a model tenement house owned by one of his friends. The latter met him a few days ago and said: "See here. Sttlzer, 1 want you to cut out that seed tnislness. It's the limit!" "Why. what's the matter?' asked the astonished aston-ished Sulzer, and he explained why ho had sent the seeds.
