AS we were walking up main street
yesterday evening, we stopped to exchange
few words with lady who was pacing
the floor of her sitting room with slow and
measured steps. Observing sad ex-
preston on her usually bright and laugh
ing face, We approached her and found
that she was giving vent to wheezy signs
that would have done honor to an
asthmatic pair of bellows. Cur heart
was touched and with voice almost stiff
ed with emotion we asked the cause o1
her sorrow. After few moments OF
fruitless efforts to suppress her feelings
she exclaimed, Haas & Bro. have opened
