A Bad Break.

Sam Peterby, merchant from the
interior, while attending the Mardi
Gras festivities at Galveston, united
business with pleasure by purchasing
a bill of goods from prominent firm
He was very politely received, and
one of the proprietors showed him
over the immense store. On reaching
the fourth floor the customer pcrceiv.
ed a speaking tube on the wall, the
first think of the kind he had ever
seen.
"What is that ?" he asked.
90, that is n speaking tube; it is a
great convenience. We can converse
with clerks ON the first floor without
the trouble of going down stairs"
"Can they hear what you say
through that?" asked the visitor.
Certainly; and they can reply at
the same time.
"You don't say sol! exclaimed the
visitor. "May ] talk through it !"
Certainly" was the reply.
The visitor put his mouth to the
speaking tube and asked:
"Arc Sam Peterhy's goods packed
up yet?"
The people in the Office must have
supposed it was somebody else speak
ing, for moment later the distinct
reply came back ::
"No. We have not packed them
yet. We are waiting for telegram
from his town. We believe he is n
slippery cuss.'

which she stirs in very carefully"
Well, she makes them sweet enough.

When she stands on the lower cross
piece her face ought to come at least
eight inches above the top of the gate,

the shadow on the other, then you
