HERALD BENNErr's EooENrR1oTr1Es.

. .
One New Years day Bennett arrived at
the Union Club towards night, having
made many calls. He sat down in a
chair and observing that some members
Of the club were presenting Peter, the
venerable porter Of the club, with So
bills as New Years presents, he called
him over and fishing into one of his
pockets brought up bill.
"Peter, my friend" he said without
looking at the bill. ''take that" r.
"Thank you, sir" said Peter, his eyes
glistening at the sight OF $40 bill.
Bennett gazing at him for second,
said sleepily, wait Peter" and diving
down into another pocket brought up
"Take that, Peter"
This performance went on for fully
five minutes. Every time that the as
tOnished Peter attempted to retire he
was called back and the presentation OF
every kind of bill from 81 to $50 went on
to the amusement of the spectators
When no more bills came forth Bennett
stopped and went away. Peter asked
some of the members what he had best
do with his hat full of money. He was
advised to ask Mr.. Bennett the next time
he came whether he had not given him
by mistake more than he intended. Sc
the next day when Bennett appeared he
said to him: tar.
"Mr. Bennett, | think you gave me more
Of a New Years present than you In
tended last night"
Bennett looked at him for few sec
Onds, not having the glimmeTOf an idet
of how much he had given, or whether
he had given anything at all:
How much did give you, Peterp"
Eight hundred dollars, sill"
The position was delicate one, but
not so much to man with an income o.
a million year as to an ordinary mortal
''That was the amount L intended fOl
you, Peter" said Bennett without sigI
of annOyance.-[New York Letter.

Canton Ohio, April 3, 1883.
MY NEW DEPARTURE" in business is fully
vindicated by year of successful business be-
yond my most sanguine hopes. And nearly as
much business in the last six weeks as in the
the first four months of last year is not only en-
couraging, but fully proves that my effort and
Plans for Cutting off the Enormous Profits neces-
sary to carry on business in the old way, are be-
ing appreciated as they are becoming known.
Having sadly learned that in the old way of do
ing business with Heavy Stocks, Trust, Trade
and Wait, Big Rents and Expenses that more
than two-thirds of all the profits made are SUNK
IN EXPENSES, and Losses in Bad Accounts, &C.,
II adopted NEW DEPARTURE" IN BUSI-
NESS on the Strictly Economical Basis of Small
Rents, Mere Nominal Expense, No Trust, No Bad
Accounts, Small Stock of Goods, supplemented
by an endless variety of Samples from the lead
ing Cloth Houses in the Cities, giving me a
larger variety of styles for my customers to
make selections from, than any two houses in
the county. And the last year has shown me
that the trade as they learn Of the advantages
offer will buv where they can get THE BEST
GOODS FOR THE LEAST MONEY. My lines for
the spring and summer are full and complete.

Fun ON LAKE UNIoN.-The people of
Seattle, old, middle aged and young,
male and female, have for the past week
boon enjoying themselves skating on
Lake Union, a privilege whica they do
not enjoy every year, as it is not more
than ouce in decade that they have
ice there sufficiently strong to admit If
skating. In the evening the yOung men
kindle fires along the banks. which are
surrounded by happy groups, laughing,
chatting and enjoying themselves gen
orally. The weather has moderated TO
some extent, and some parts of the
lake are dangerous. A young clergy
man and several other persons. includ
ing one lady, have had the benefit of
cold water baths, not very desirable
thing this weather. Shinney aud sew
eral other games were pla ed on the ICE
by the men, while the children We're
being drawn around on hand sleds.
While enjoying this healthful sport to
the utmost, the people cannot be too
careful to avoid the dangers known to
accompany this pastime. and we trust
1t shall not be our p4inful duty to re-
cord accidents of a worse character
than duckings in the cold water or
bruised limbs.
