golden arrows and spread q bright
effulgence through our ripping hair
and play hide and seek around our
pen. In the first place because our
hair don't ripple, nary rip. In the
second because We always write
with q pencil. But the stentorian
tones of our large lunged foreman
reaches us as he yells copy; in
fact reaches every part of us, cloth
ing our pencil in halo of the choicest
and bluest profanity and giving it
an impetus it had before lacked,
SO We will on with our stories.

A Shopper: have often wondered
if those persons who were in the
habit of shopping after 8 O'Clock ever
gave a thought to the poor clerks
who, wearied with a long days toll,
were anxiously waiting the departure
of the late customer to seek the rest
they so much needed. Fifteen hours
of twenty-four is time enough for any,
body, and all classes of shoppers can
make their purchases between a. IN.
and 8 p. m. 1 know that it is pure
thoughtlessness on the part of the
persons who shop late, and for that
reason / want to give them this hint:
Remember the clerks work from $3.50
until 8, anyway, and when there are
late customers as much longer as
they stay. Go to the store early
enough to get through before o.

A Bartender-Theg rowler business
has gotten to assume considerable
proportions in our trade. Here, as in
New York the rushers usually send a
small boy and can. We charge ten
cents pint. In the eastern cities
believe the charge is seven cents
Nearly all the saloons that sell beer
have GROWER trade, though
sell beer that way. Our best
growler trade is at night
and Sundays. AT first our customers
were nearly all of the laboring class
but now all classes run GROWERS" A
ten cent growler is about four glasses,
though good natured bar tenders
sometimes give their regular custom
ers more.
Frank Bushick: The worst bore I
have to contend with is the pass
fiend. He usually represents himself
as the correspondent of the Yearly
Bladder or some such journal. It's
hard to get rid of him for his persis-
tence and his nerve would make his
fortune if exercised in some congeneal
occupation such as selling real estate
in boom towns or introducing bills for
the relief of the paralyzed. We some
times pass him to get rid of him,

roast, but we've not been scorched
yet and I've been compelled to eject

are always thrice welcome and those
entitled to the courtesies of the Grand
are extended them in no half-hearted
manner. I have no reference to these
of course, but upon the part of large
percentage of the public generally
there seems to prevail an idea that it
is perfectly legitimate to "beat a

Lewis. She opens with matinee
Saturday.

These were the words the rounder
heard whispered in a voice that
reached from the river to Convent
street and around the corner, while
sitting at his lattice last night.
