plete. We do not mean by
that to tell you we keep the
low-price shoddy goods, but
we do have a good quality al
a very low price, and yet we
sell more of our suits from five
to ten dollars.

Told By the Postman.

"Well, suppose find myself standing
at last in q stuffy, twelve-by-f Fifteen sit
ting room with registered letter in my
hand, and after having rung every bell
in the vestibule, whistled like q loco
motive and yelled 'Auesenskimmatter-
riky' again and again-for that is the
best Eve been able to do with the ad-
dress. "lsh dot rechistered ledder,
amt it?' says the husband, like enough
looking up eagerly from his cross-legged
perch on table in the corner, with
taiior's goose in one hand and an un-
finished waistcoat in the other. | nod
and say Auesenskimmatterrik over
again.
Dere don't vos lieben many PEBBLES
here vot is CALLED py dot names,' says
the wife, perhaps engaged in nursing
her babe, while keeping the pretzels out
of reach of toddler but year or two
older. i guess You vos gifen der name
a wrong blace.' Then the two have a
side sl1irmish in German, and sudden
cackling chorus in the same lingo
causes me to turn, and | perceive the
doorway and passages blocked up with
neighbors, mostly women. all talking
eXcitedly at once, and all deyouring me
with a greedy sort of glare, as if they'd
like to loot my whole letter bundle.
Presently one of them, after looking
over my SHOULDER and mastering the in
scription on the letter in my hand, gives
gratified shrek, then torrent of ex-
PLANTATION in German, and with the
triumphantly correct pronunciation Of
Owzenshimmatterrei on her lips,
tries 10 snatch the missive. You see, it
had belonged to her all the time. Itwas
my mispronunciation of the name that
had befogged the tailor and his wife,
besides myself. The letter is duly sur
rendered after the signature is obtained;
for these Germans in almost every case,
cannot only write, but write well, and a
wild-goose chase after writing materials
never indulge in ones embarrassments
with them. Well, Mrs. Owzen-some-
thing gets her letter and | make my es-
cape after being soundly rated by the
tailor and his wife for ''yooling honest
and hart-vorking peebles dot don't efer

How Easily are We Gulled.

A few years ago company of stroll
ing actors got stranded in small town
in Ohio. 1t was, as the actors say,
'a hard 60" 1t was a case in which
the end seemed to Justify the means.
The men all went to the bottom of their
pockets, but only fifty cents could be
scraped together in the entire crowd.
The money was taken to q grocery in
the little town and invested in cheap
soap. The bars were cut up into small
pieces, which were wrapped in colored
tissue paper. These were divided among
the men, and they started out to raise
the wind. The wonderful stories that
were told of that soap made the inno-
cent town people open their eyes.
These little pieces of soap in their pretty
covering of tissue paper were sold for
twenty-five cents; a bar of soap, which
cost five cents, was made to net So, and
in two days enough money was raised
to take the company out of town. That
was only one experience; the same
company passed through many others.
In hard row, one day, one of the
actors took wire basket from sword
and twisted the little pieces of wires
into curious shapes. These, he claimed,
hung on to the driving wheel of sew
ing machine, would make it work easier,
and, with a quick, ready tongue, be
convinced the women that it mitigated
their labors about one-half, and he soon
had well-filled purse. Another man,
who is well known in the dramatic pro-
fession, was on protracted spree in
the city OF Cincinnati. Coming around
to himself, he was without money. and
was put to his wits end to get to dis
tant town to fill an engagement. He
got lot of vials and filed them with
decoction, principally made up Of port
wine and water. This he represented
as wonderful elixir for ageing whisky,
and was wonderfully successful in i'm
posing it upon the dealers of that city.
Not only saloon-keepers, but wholesale
dealers and druggists bought it. He
actually obtained a number of sigma
lures to recommendation of the stuff.
and by bigtalk and glowing representa-
tons, succeeded in disposing of the
right of its sale in that city for q pretty
good amount. All these wandering i'm
posters, however, are not strolIin9 ac-
tors, and all the articles offered at the
doors OF our houses are not without
some merit.-LouisUtUe Post.

MIR. Blaine Buys a Mantelpiece,

He found in one of the New York
warerooms for furniture an old mantel
of rare wood, exquisitely caryed-the
work of some medieval master-when
art fostered by the wealthy permitted
an artist to put lifetime in his work.
1t had once been in the possession of
Lorenzo the Magnificent, and adorned
his ducal palace Enraptured, Mr.,
Blaine purchased the gem and shipped
it here, with orders to set the gem of
mantelpiece up in his library. The
workman set to the task discovered that
there was no morticed holes to secure it
to the mason work of brick or stone,
and upon closer scrutiny found that the
mantel had never been used. 1t was
simply copy of the original. Mr.
Blaine, who had paid round robin for
what he supposed was an original work
of the great artist, reshipped the copy in
disgust to the dealers in renaissance
furniture
