..rhe Universal rrnyIder..

A cable dispatch has announced tho burning
OF Vim. Whiteley'e principal establishment In
London. WHITLEY delighted In being called
"The Universal Powder" and boaeted OF his
ability to furnish anything that anybody
could possibly call for. Many amusing stories
are told Of HIS readiness to respond to a de-
mand for an article, however unusual or I'M
reasonable. Once, II Is said, an army officer,
about TO start for India, aftor completing his
purchases at whiteley'e, said to the proprietor:
81 believe have now everything that re-
quire except wife. suppose You could not
furnish that?" "Step this way, cir" replied
Whitley. 81 think can accommodate you"
He took tho officer to his own house aud intro.
duced him to a young lady there. A mutual
attachment was the result OF the odd introduc.
ton, and the ofllcer won't out TO india n mar
rled man. On another occasion q facetlous
visitor, who was being shown through tho
place by an attendant, expressed desire to
purchase an elephant. The quick.witted clerk,
remembering that the stables of n menagerie
were In an adjoining building, led the crest.
fallen Joker into "the elephant department."
and calmly offered to sell him whole herd.
His promotion followed as matter of course.
