There was John G. Stivers, for instance
Stlvers wore long, black beared Topped by.
IA mustache, and you doubtless have noticed
when you spoke to him about any thing that
he had the habit of stroking his long, black
beard slowly in way that certainly left
the impression that Stvers was IA deep-a
very deep-thinker. | know that was the
effect it had on mo. / remember few
weeks ago meeting him, saying: We'll, Mr..
Stlvers, looks rs If We were going 10 have
a Russian war;"
Strivers stroled his beard thoughtfully and
said
"Yes, it looks that way. But--welI, you
wait few days.
Now" says | TO myself as left him,
there's a man who has studied the Afghan
matter in all its bearings No lippant opn-
ion there"
Well, of course you've seen Stivers since
he shaved Tho weak, irresolute mouth and
receiing chin Is now in full view | hap
pen to know that in very short time he was
to have been taken in rs partner in the
house of Ready, Made q Co., the cIothiers,
whose confidential clerk he has been for so
many years-manager | might say. Now
| he thinks his whole trouble arises from the
fact that, when he went into the establish
ment just after shaving, Mr.. Made APP
| preached him smilingly and said:
Anything We can show you to-day, sir"
Oh course it made a big laugh when the
| clerks saw that old Made had been trying to
sell something to his own manager but tn at
was not the trouble. Mr.. Ready himself
| told me that it astonished him to think they
had ever sought the advice of snch man, and
OF course now any mistakes that had hap
pened in over purchase and that sort of thing
were laid to the charge of Stivers' sugges-
tinns. Now he is out of employment, and nc
| one even prefixes the "Mr" to his name II
is pitiful to soc the way his hand wanders
ainlleSsly around his smooth face searching
for the lost beard.
