Have you seen the big stock O
new goods at Cranes No old stuff
but everything new and bright and q
large variety. No need of going out
of town when we have astore stocked
like this in our midst. The goods
and prices are equal to any in the

The old school-house at the east
end of the village is an eye-sore and
it either ought to be repaired or de.
molished perhaps the latter, as the
village has no further use tor it. In
its present condition it is not in keep

But we certainly did last Wednesday
night at Morrisville. The train was
a few minutes late and Ranney, being
rather cody treated by the restaur.
ant girls, did not loiter about there
as much as usual. Just as soon as
the engine had watered up he gave
his melOdiOus 'tOot, toot" and the
cars were off, while we stood gazing
at them, expecting of course they
would again stop at the depot. The
walking between the two villages is
good and there are just as many
railroad ties as ever.

porch Of a hotel in Texas, when man from
Detroit stepped in front of him and looked over
his head in search of an acquaintance, whom

mlstaking the Detroiter's purpose, remarked:

did not say much, but that evening, by arrange
ment with the head waiter. Davis was placed
at supper alone at table where were several
vacant chairs. Presently seven men, all COM
mercal travellers, entered the dining-room,
and each one had large cut glass fruit dish
fastened on his breast, while glass prisms hung
pendant from each coat and vest button. So
berly marching to Davis's table the seven men
took the vacant seats, and the Detroit man
entertained the alleged actor with: "Ah, /
see you admire our diamonds. This one''-
pointing to the fruit dish--"cost me S3,000000.
These"-indicating the prisms-"cost S25000O
each, and we have three carloads like them at

not only changed his seat. but went to another

ton. After two years course of instruction
she went to New York and appeared at an
authors matinee" at the Lyceum Theatre. Mr..
Frohman, manager of the theatre, was so
much struck with her ability and attractive
appearance that he engaged her for term of
FIVE years to play in his road company. For
the past two seasons Mrs. Tyree has been trav-
cling over the United States with the Charity

play to be presented by the Lyceum company

here now. resting and preparing for her next
seasons work. She relates an interesting Incl
dent that happened to her in Montreal short
time ago. 1t seems that during the action of
the play Mrs. Tyree had occasion to unfurl the
American flag. This time she unfurled the
flag as usual. and standing in the centre of the
stage waved it with vigof. She was at once
greeted with a round of the most vigorous
Kisses. She was surprised and hurt, thinking
that there was some fault in her acting, but
when she was reminded of the dislike some
Canadians have for the stars and stripes she
was satisfied.

There are few men in Washington whose
features are more familiar to all classes of

ham. For years he has stood guard at the
doors Of local theatres, and has performed his
difficult and arduous duties with fidelity,
patience, and courtesy. Ever since Albaugh's

orchestra floor. Recently number OF Mr..

gether and despatched to him the following

he is conscientious and courteous in the dis
charge of his duties, he could not resist such
an offer coming from such source, and he re-
piled as follows:

Bryan, and others.

''The japanese are nothing if not pro-

turned from the Orient and who is now

coming into vogue over there, and even our
methods of Irritation, with some slight modi-
fcations, are becoming popular. The Jap
anese maiden is exceedingly coy, and it is
difficult for a foreigner to gain an entrance
to society, but fiirtations are by no means
uncommon. How? Well, if young man
sees pretty japanese girl on the street he
may follow her at respectful distance.
Presently he will meet an elderly woman, to
whom he must impart the information that
he has lost his heart and is miserable. The
old woman will ask what has become of his
heart, and he must point out the girl, at the
same time slipping a quarter into the for
mer's hand. She willsdisappear and in few
minutes return with the information that If
he will be at certain fashionable tea-house
on the following day he may recover his

a chaperone, and the young man is at liberty
to address her. She will probably meet him
often in this way, but always with a pro-
tectress whose vigilance is never relaxed
If the aspiring youth is eircumspect he may
