In Miss Jane Flood's garden that surrounds her big brownstone mansion on Nob Hill is one of the most artistic groups in any San Francisco grounds. It is a huntsman with his dogs, and is the bronze presentment of Ccn the Shaughran, the Boucicault hero. Another work of art in Miss Flood's garden is a bronze stork, that is the chief ornament of one side of her close-clipped lawns. Beneath a §road-leaved magnolia In the garden of the J. B.

He had been out watchin’ us de morning before, and I Te- membered he hadn’'t come to de house wid us, but had lingered behind, look- ing uncommon innocent. I knew what was on his mind when I see de garden. Dat bull pup has only one longing in life, and it is to catch a fleld mouse. He's been chaslug and digging for ‘em ner to come and have a look to see had we a new patent flower somebody might give us a fortune to name it after him.

Dey sprouted right out of de bottoms of de sods, and grew fine sure. Den dere was buds. and de way Duche watered and raked and talked about what she would do wit de coming boo- dle was a wonder.
