A new BUSINESS METHOD.

S. II. Baynard has adopted new plan that
is now prevailing in western cities. whereby
the opportunity is given to procure a good
watch Tor very low price, through the
agency of cooperative clubs. This plan Is as
follows: Clubs are composed of forty mem
bers, who pay one dollar fee, which payment
goes TO the originator of the plan. When the
club is formed they mutually agree to purchase
and sixty-five dollars. Each week thereafter
the members meet, and each pays one dollar
at which time number is drawn, which en-
titles the owner OF such number to select and
and receive his watch. similar to the old plan
of watch clubs, with the exception that upOn
the drawing of a number further payment of
that number cease. The remaining members
less one each week. continue their payments
and drawing for thirty weeks, when an pay
ments cease and the remaining ten members
receive their watches.
The watches so distributed are gold-hlled
case. made by James BOss, with either an El-
gin. Waltham, Springfield or Hampden move
ment, such as are sold all over our city for
thirty-tive dollars and which are fully war
ran<ed to give satisfaction Clubs are now

"GENTLEMEN TRAMPS."
They Are Becoming as Numerous in New
 York as Monument Funds.

They Are Becoming as Numerous in New
 York as Monument Funds.
 What the police call gentlemen tramps" are becoming more and more prevalent, says the New York Sun. Members of the force and people who are familiar with the loungers in cer- tain parts of New York are often inter- ested in the gradual downfall of man whom they know by sight As the months go by these loungers grow more and more seedy and needy in appear ance. Neatness leaves them and they gradually become mendicants on the highway; but they are not classed with the regular professional tramp. The ''gentlemen tramps" are men who have formerly been respectable and often have some sort of a desire to procure work. They are always going some where to answer an advertisement or to make an inquiry, but incidentally they are on the outlook for aims. Perhaps the most successful of all these men is a tall and rather mili- tary looking parsonage, about fifty years of age, with a white mous- tache and head of curly white hair He tramps between Fifteenth and Twenty-third streets, and, according to the police and shopkecpers of that vicin- ity, has begged for nearly eight years. He was once iloor-walkcr at famous dry-goods house on Fourteenth street. His feet were almost on the ground, but there is a pretenSe of backing on what remains of his bOOtS and there is an air of Ostentatious but fictitious neatness in his attire. He does not ap- proach people promiscuously, but singles out his victims with great sagacity and care. They are nearly always elderly ladies or spinster5 veTging on middle life. He StareS at the women from whom he intends to beg plaintively for long time as he walks near her. Then he takes off his hat, approaches hum bly,, ana pourS out his tale of woe. He never under any circumstances, at temptS to beg from man. His story is so effective that in nearly every in- stance the woman from whom he begS stops and listens courteously. Then she opens her purse slowly and looks at her change. After carefully consider ing the question after the fashion of women, she deliberately selects her coin and passes it over to tho beggar His manifestation of gratitude is ex- treme, He is said to be the only beg gar who succeeds regularly in getting contributions from the same victims many times over,

UNAPPREClATED FEET.
Experience of a Philadelphia Girl Who
 Tried to StartIe England.

Tried to StartIe England.
 English women, says the shoemaker, have large feet and know it. They live up to them serenely, and wear great boots and shoes. square-toed, broad, fat-heeled, with naiyette that amuses and scandalizes their American cousins. They don't care tuppence for feet. In the great tide of American girls that rushed across the Atlantic last spring to revel in 8 London season, says the Boston Herald, there was a gay little Philadelphian, bright as brand-new dollar, witty, clever, but, alas! accounted in the contest of beauty in her native land, decidedly plain. One good point, indeed, she possessed beyond question, and that was her feet. They were No. 1-slender, with an instep arched like a Spanish senerita's; they were things of beauty and joys forever, and the young woman to whom they be- longed squandered her substance in silk stockings and ravishing shoes when she was on the point of starting for En- gland.
 ''There," she sighed to herself, in rapturous anticipation, T shall be ap- preciated. My feet will probably create furor, and, should think, ought to secure me an Earl, at least. I wonder if her Majesty will mention them when l am presented? It is my golden oppor- tunity, the chance of my lifetime!'
 She came back to Newport in August sadder and a wiser girl-without the Earl.
 'It's all snare and delusion," she pouted at luncheon to her interested friends. ''Those English girls have feet that are simply enormous-enormous! l only saw one who wore smaller boot than seven. But they have no refine ment of feeling, no artistic sensitive ness at all. Not a soul ever mentioned mine! Not single soul! I kept them displayed as artlessly aud prominently as 1 could wherever I went, and not one living human being ever spoke of them"
 "Not the Queen?" suggested her bosom friend. Qt is always your bosom friend who asks disagreeablo questions.)
 ''The Queen?" repeated the Philadel- phian. My dcars," her voice sank to an impressive whisper, ''my dcars, I give you my word when I saw her she had on low black slippers, something like ankle ties, and crowded into them her fat feet in white stockings. That's the sort of thing they admire over there!'

CAPTAIN OF CANNES
A Dog That Would Seem to Be Entitled
 to Citizenship.

Andreas Archulets lives on Los Pinos creek, some twenty miles west of Cone jos, Col. He owns $50 goats and four dogs, and, like many other MeXicans, he is lazy. Yet he is counted as wealthy among his people, and he certainly possesses skill, which he has used to promote his laziness. His dogs are of the mongrel type, but their education has made them very valuable, and An dreas would swear in mixed Castilian and English if any thing serious oc- cured to them.
 Quedao, which means Lookout in American vernacular, is captain of the dogs, and Quedao is also dog. He di- rectS the other three who act as his lieutenants. Every morning Andreas turns his $50 goats loose from his cor ral, and Quedao and his assistants drive them to pasture. Should the grass prove too short for them in one place, according to Quedao's judgment, he seeks another spot, and with his help CTS drives the goats thither. If any show disposition to struggle, the dogs nip their hind legs and thus hasten them along. If Quedao halts $50 goats and three dogs halt also, until he gives the command to move on. While the herd is feeding, two dogs will re- main to watch it while the other two will go hunting for provisions for the quartette. Their game, be it jack rabbit, cottontail or other animal, is al- ways brought in whole, and at noontide the four four-legged goat herders have their own picnic. As the sun sinks in the west bel nd the mountains the dogs gather the goats and drive them back to the corral, and they have done this work for Andreas day after day without losing goat,
 It is alleged by Mexicans in that part of the Sunny San Luis Park that when election day comes Andreas gives his dogs rest from their duties as herders and goes with them to Guadalupe, the little plaza where he votes. Quedao and his three companions present them selves at the polling place, each with ballot in his mouth, and see to it that the little slips go into the ballot-box. They are all registered, and certainly they have as much if not more intelli- gence than many Mexicans. Colorado is said to be State of surprises to those who are not familiar with it, and this is no doubt true.
