Why Victoria Disiikes Gladstone.

Queen Victoria's dislike of Glad
stone is at last explained. A recent
writer says that when the grand old
man used to visit the regal old lady
he was wont to talk to her 'about the
polity of the Hittites or the relations
between the Athanasian creed and Ho'
mer." The Queen, perplexed and un
comfortable, would seek to make
depression. and would address re-
mark to daughter or offer biscuit
to a begging terrier. 1r. Gladstone
would restrain himself with an effort

Mr.. EPSTEiN'S CUSTOMER.
Real Genius Who Once Operated in
Pennsylvania Town.


Pennsylvania Town.
A man went into a Broadway cloth
ing-store the other day and asked to
see pair OF trousers. He went into a
closet to try them on. Calling out to
the clerk that they didn't quite suit he
was handed in another pair. Five
pairs were handed in to him in this
way, the last pair being just what he
wanted He kept them on, handing
the clerk the price as he passed out
1t was learned afterward that he had
kept on all the trousers that had been
handed in to him. The fellow was ar
rested, and he deserved to be, as his
performance was a miserable plagiar-
ism of the work of real genius who
once operated in Butler, Pa.
1t was before Butler was as large a
town as it is now. A man named
Epstein started clothing-store there
in small way. The people had been
in the habit of having their garments
made at home. and Mr.. Epstein's store
was something of an experiment. His
stock accordingly was not extensive.
One day a stranger walked in and
said he wanted to buy suit. He was
one of Epstein's first customers, and he
was anxious to make the sale. ThC
stranger retired to a small room cur
| tanned off in one corner to try on the
clothes. He was hard to fit. Epstein
| kept handing him in drawers, under
| shirts, pants, coats, vests and collar
| and cuffs until the entire stock was il
the little room. The man was ungain
" in build, and he kept up runnin!
| fire of pleasantly about his i'll shape
and what dreadful nuisance he wa
to store-keepers. Still, he always pait
cash. he said, and bought a great many
clothes, so the store-keepers kindly
hAmored him. When he had all o
Merchant Epstein's stock on his miser
able back he said:
This five-dollar suit that | have o.
is the best fit OF all except the coat,
like the looks of the coat you have on
and if you give me that instead OF tn
one that belongs to the suit We'll cal
it bargain and I'll just keep on tn
buds"
Epstein handed in his own coat, tn
stranger put it on over the rest OF tn
stock and walked out, leaving the mer
chant in his shirt-sleeves, with ncthin
in the wide world to show for his lat
clothing emporium but countertel
