One evening was out with party OF
Young friends. 1t had been trying to
snow all afternoon and had cleared of
cold AS we passed ready made cloth
ing store we noticed a couple of dunn
mics out in front covered with snow.
One of these two particular dummies
was looking in the window, probably
watching the cashier inside, while the
other was faced toward the street, pos
siblv to draw trade. On the breast of
his long, snow laden ulster he wore
banner with the strange device, "Buy
me, only S7.33." Just as we were pass
ing we saw a young clerk approaching
the door, whisk broom in hand, to brush
the snow from the dummies. One of
my friends, who knew the clerk, said,
Limitation of dummy" and he jumped
into rigid position between the papier
mache men. We ran across the street
to watch things. Out came the clerk
and brushed the snow from the nearest
figure, turning it around on its well
creased standard as he did SO. Then he
reached for our friend, who stood stiff
and still He carefully brushed the
snow from the back of his long ulster,
and then took hold of his arm to turn
him around. AS he felt flesh and blood
he dropped his whisk, uttered horrible
yell and disappeared behind a pile of
coats in the store.-Chicago Herald.

Buttered Toast for Potatoes.

M. Taine, the eminent French litera-
teur, was recently at Oxford and he or
dered plain roast beef and potatoes for
dinner. The waiter brought NJ. Taine
roast beef and buttered toast. NJ. Taine
exclaims, waiter, some potatoes" The
waiter brought more buttered toast. M.
Taine, in pronouncing potatoes" laid
stress on the last syllable of potatoes
and gave the IS" more sibilation than
was necessary, so to the walters English
ear he was asking with tolerable clear
ness for buttered toast. When fresh lots
of buttered toast began to appear, M.
Taine blandly demanded "some pota-
toes" with the result that his table was
literally covered with plates of buttered
toast; however, a well known Oxford
professor happened to enter the room at
this juncture and succeeded in clearing
up matters.-London Cor. of New Or

Horace Greeley's Favorite Cut.

Hall. the chief messenger at the GUS
tom house, cultivated his suave manner
when he was the head waiter at the
Astor house. Nothing pleases him more
than to recall the days when he served
Horace Greeley, who dined for years at
the Aston house. Dinner there at that
time was served on ths American plan
and was from 10 m. until 8 p. m. 81
used to carve" said Hall. "and when
had reached the twenty-fourth or twenty
fifth cut in a rib of roast beef knew that
it was time for Mr.. Greeley to come in.
He liked the twenty-fourth or twenty
fifth cut because, suppose, the meat in
that part of the roast was done exactly
to suit his taste. When had got to Mr..
Greeley's cut I used to run my knife
around the rim of it and remove all the
overdone edge or fat, which he did not
like. We heaped up the plate with pota-
toes, green peas and beans-Mr. Greeley
was great hand foT green peas-and
sent it in to him. New York Tribune

A Pretty Western Preacher.

The Rev. Carrie Bartlett, who is be-
coming widely known as a successful
preacher in the Unitarian ministry at
Kalamazoo, has been speaking for a
Sunday or two in Brooklyn, and has
been guest at several club receptions.
She is young and more than commonly
attractive, with an oval face, regular
features and large soft eyes. Her hair
is brown and curls about her face. 1t
is gathered in soft knot at the nape of
the neck behind. Her voice is pleasantly
modulated. but the great charm of her
presence lies in the expressive face,
which is at once sensitive and reposeful.
She does not affect either the masculine
or clerical in her dress, Nearing simple
black gown with white collar and a wide,
rather picturesque black hat with droop-
ing ostrich plumes. Pittsburg Leaders

The speaker was northern tourist in
the Ozark mountains of southwestern
Missouri. He had halted near small
windowless cabin, in front of which a
sallow, shrewd native sat smoking cob
pipe.
"Wull!' came the slow reply. The
man did not move nor did he take his
pipe from his mouth or his hands from
his pockets as he surveyed the elegant
young man in corduroys.
II should like to inquire" said the
tourist, eff this isn't the region where

Wind Motors for Electrical Purposes

The use of wind power for producing
the electric light possesses the recon-
mendation that it is cheap. A wind
motor has been in successful operation
for some time at the northernmost light
house at Cape de la Hague, where it
drives two dynamos supplying accumu-
lators. The windmill rests upon timber
framing, and transmits motion by means
OF vertical shaft and two pairs of con-
ical cog wheels to horizontal shaft.
Pulleys are fixed to the latter, which
drive the dynamos by means of betting.
The windmill works automatically, both
during light winds and gales.-Electri-
