many Of these shoppers that one wonders
where they all come from There is one
class. however. which is never seen on
these trips The class that works six

work in the daytime, whose wives do
without servants and do their own sew

delphia. They bay what they need in the
home stores. Most Of them do not have
enough money TO make it worth while to
go on big shopping tour; but what they
have they spend freely and right here

Mr.. Harrison?


Mr.. Harrison?
Lewis E. Payson's prominence among
the men who are likely to have great in
fluence with the coming administration
IS not a matter of sudden growth. He
has served in congress as the representa-
tive OF the Ninth district Of Illinois for o
number Of years, having been elected
five times TO the position. His first po-
htical prefcrment was bestowed upon
him in 1868, when he was made county
judge, principally on account Of the
fame he achieved IN the conduct Of re-
markable case in the courts. 1t was per-
haps the greatest case he ever handled in
al his practice, though that has been ex-
tonsive, and IN the course Of it he won
the reputation of being the leading jury
lawyer ia central Illinois.
The facts of the case were romantic.
Some time in 1885 or 1867 there came
from the cast to one of the mining vii
lagos near Bloomington, Ills, o young
couple who seemed i'll assorted, but who
evinced q devoted fondness for each
other, and who settled down to make a
homo in what was to them a strange
country. The husband had been prize
fighter, but although he was in the very
prime of his vigor and strength, and the
way seemed open to him to achieve such
fame as prize fighters may win, he had
left the ring and had promised his wife
that he would fight no more. He sought
and readily found employment in the
mines, and being sober and industrious
commanded good wages
The woman whose influence had re-
formed him was beautiful, intelligent

There is q new dog on the horizon, and
from his description he is almost certain to
reach us here. In fashion lately We have
been going in for the foreigner. The fox
terrier has become almost too common.
japanese pugs are toe stupid. French pood-
les are not to be seriously considered. There
remain the Dachshund and the Danish mas
tiff, neither of them quite satisfactory. The
new dog halls from the Low Countries, and
is not 80 much novelty as q revival. He
has been rediscovered by the accident of the
Exhibition ct Brussels. Dogs were to be an
attraction there, and the great desideratum
was to be patriotic and, If possible, local.
OF course the noilk-carryin9 dogs would be
collected in great force, and it seemed as If
Flanders would have little else in the canine
world to rely upon. Then it was remember
ed that generAtions ago, when railways were
scarce in the land, there was little black
terrier called q spits, largely used on the
canal boats that then carried on the com
merce, and, indeed, the traffic of the Low
Countries. His chief qualities-alnAost leg
andary-were that he was death on rats and
unapproachabfe as a watch dog. He was a
clever little fellow, too, viVacious and at
tached. But railways had driven him out.
An attempt was made to procure some for
the show. It proved that there was plenty
of life in the old breed still. There are yet
barges and canal boats in Holland, and they
had spits still on board. A very good
show was got together. The spits became
popular, and we shall, no doubt, soon see him
here.
