They Don't Sell Stoves

Detroit Free Press.
Four or five weeks ago q woman
with an undecided look on her face en-.
tered q Detroit hard ware store,
threaded her way for sixty feet among
coal stoves of every pattern, and tim
idly irqnired:
I'D, you keep stoves hereT
"Yes'm."
"Coal stoves2"
"Yes m
She said she had been thinking of
getting a coal ssove for the winter, and
the c'erk took her in hand. He
showed her how the doors worked and
how the hampers were arranged, aud
the hues situated, and he talked Of
double drafts, great savings, increased
ch~eerfulness, reduction in price, and
all that, and she said she'd think it
over and drop in again.
In about three days the woman re.
appeared and inquired of the very
same clerk il they sold coal stoves.
He replied that they did sell one now
and then, and he cleared his voice and
began the usual thirty-minute lecture
on the Michigan, the Detroit and the
Psninsular base burners. The beau
tlful nickel plate, the place for the
tea kettle, the ornamental legs-the
anti.clinker shaker all points were
touched upon and praised and e1-
planned, and the woman said she
wouldn't take one along under her
arm just then, but would call again.
She called again that same. week,
heard the same lecture from the same
clerk, and started for the bank to
draw the money to pay for a base
burner. That was the last seen OF her
for a week. Then she walked softly
in and ~innocently inquired:
81 suppose you keep coal oil
stovesi"
"No ma'am."
"Not any kind2"
"Not a one We used to, but went
out of the business q year ago."
There were twenty coal stoves on
the floor, but if che saw them she
didn't let on. She heSyed a sigh of
disappointment, glanced around her,

THE L STORY.
One OF the Numer GUS Smiths Pays
Heavily for Learning the Con-
hdsnce Game.

Yesterday morning a young man
named Smith, in company with his
mother, arrived in this city from Pike
county, Missouri, intending to go by
the frat tram to Sacramento. While
waiting at the transfer they formed the
acquaintance of an old man, who was
also going to California, or at least
said he was. They chatted together
for almost an hour, and then the old
man proposed to young Smith that as
it was rather tedious waiting there
they should take a walk up town. On
the way, bet cen the transfer and
the Drovers' hotel, they were met by
a young man who saluted the
old man with, ''See here, Craw-
ford, I've got to have the charges
on that baggage of yours" The old
man said he had nothing but a check,
which he was just going to get cash.
ed. The creditor would not take the
check, and give back the balance in
cash, aud wouldn't wait. The old
man innooently asked young Smith to
accommodate him with $25. Certain.
~. Then the victim was induced to
90 back to the depot and look after
the old mans baggage while the latter
went to get the money
on the check. OF course ne
didn'tmsterislIze afterthat. The young
Smith spent some time in hunting for
the old man, but all in vain. For u.
nately he had a little money left, and
his mother had eno-gh more to meet
the expenses OF the trip, and so they
went on their way.
The city keeps an officer at the
transfer to look after these confdsnce
men, as the police of the Union
Pacific seem to have done little to
stay them. Yesterday while Officer
Cusiok, who is stationed at the depot,
had gone up to VII with a prisoner,
this confidence loan singled out his
victim This much is said in justice

disturbed about the trial of Arab.
Having taken the Egyptian leader
as prisoner OF war they turned
him over to the Khedive's gov
eminent for trial. Bat there is
no indication, if ever there was any
expectation, that he will be tried
and dealt with according to the
ideas of justice prevailing among
civilized nations, and the English
very naturally feel that they will
be responsible for any outcome Of
the trial that the civilized world
will condemn. They are talking
therefore Of taking charge of Ara
bi themselves, but for this they
have not the suggestion of logi-

their eyes open and they will be
