DIDN'T KEEP 4 DIRECTORY.

A Druggist, Whose Store Adjoins a Large
Dry Goods House. Has No Picnic.
81 would like to look at your direct
Dry. please" said 1, the other day, on
entering drug store ON Sixth avenue.
near Nineteenth street.
The man behind the counter looked up
with weary expression and quietly
shook his head.
whats the matter" I asked. Don't
you keep directory here?'
| Again the head shake was repeated
and then 1 sought for an explanation.
You see," said the druggist, 1--WE are
right in among all these large dry goods
.5ores, and as their customers are mostly
ladies of more or less leisure, our place
would be fairly oyerrun with women all
day long if we had directory there in
the window.
Eyes" he went on, 1--WE did keep a di-
rectory once, but it got to be such an in
tolerable nuisance that we either had to
stop it or close out our business. I be-
heve," said the druggist, ssthat some
women like to go into a drug store and
look over the directory. Not, mind you,
because they really wish to find out any
addresses, but simply from pure cussed-
ness. Maybe they think it looks bust
nesslike. And then, you know, a drug
store is a great place of rendezvous for
the ladies who do shopping, and study
ing over a directory helps them to kill
time if the other party is late.
"You have no idea," he went on, .sof
the number of women who stop in here
every day and ask foolish questions.
Why, sometimes when I tell them we
don't keep a directory they ask me
whether 1 know where so-and-so lives,
and a thousand and one questions be-
sides that might be answered in the di-
rectory, but which they never stop to
consider. And then these women come
in here and want to leave their bundles
while they do their shopping elsewhere.
They hold regular conversation bees, and
interfere with customers passing in and
out, and fairly worry my life out with
their petty questions and annoyances.
Stamps, did you say, miss?'' he add
ed, turning to address young lady who
had just entered. mo, miss: we do not
keep stamps.
I'D have to keep a branch postoffice
up here" said the druggist as the young
lady went out, and then he turned to
some score or more of ladies who were
waiting to receive attention.-New York

The Padrone System.

If there is any one so deluded as to
imagine that the padrone has no exist
ence in New York he should note the
maneuvers of big, burly, coarse feat
ured man who watches the ''chesanutta''
and flower gang which pre-empts the
walks in West Fourteenth street. l
stood at the corner of that thoroughfare
and Sixth avenue one morning. 1t was
3 o'clock, and the gang, numbering
twenty-one men, came trooping up the
avenue. The padrone, or the padrone's
agent, was there in waiting. Each re-
ceived a small amount of money, and
started off for his accustomed place.
The padrone, or the agent, hovered in
the vicinity, and kept a close surveil-
lance over the men, and at the same
time was on the lookout for approaching
policemen.
Two precincts join on Fourteenth
street, so the padrone has no time to
shirk his duty. IF a policeman passes
along the lower side the signal is passed,
and the Italians cross to the opposite
side. When bluecoat disappears
around corner they return. At z
o'clock at night Fourteenth street is
clear of these pests. They meet the pa
drone again and turn over to him the
receipts of the day. Then they drag
their bent figures down the avenue and
take short cut for some Mulberry street
attic. Seven days in the week this routine
Is gone through with, cold or stormy
weather not interfering in the least.

The Indian Stu .tiOn.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--The situation
summed up at the Interior Department
to-day is about as follows: "There are
in all about 10000 Sioux Indians, men,
women and children, or the northern
reservations. Of this number 1880 are
account' d for, as hey are living on the
reservation in peace and not taking any
part in the present disturbance. This
leaves about 3, 800 men, women and child
ren to face the earthworks, the howitzers
and the 5000 men now under the com
mand OF General Miles.
The hostile camp is located about seven.
teen miles north of the agency, and the
Gordon of troops surrounds the hostile
camp with the exception of the south
side, the object being to drive the In
dians into the reservation. There is
constant communication between the
hostile camp and the agency. The hos
lilies are well supplied with beef, but they
have no sugar or coffee except as they are
supplied by the frendlies.
While the situation is regarded as a
hopeless one for the indians, yet it is be-
lieved that they have no intention of
surrenderlng. From reports received at
the interior department the situation
believed to be tense, ard the people
tnlrtteH. ,a"encles are very much dis

There was one among their number remem-

Strange years of shadow and of sun have

And still l muse more earnestly than what 1

For men, find, are also quite peculiar Great

And some have natures made of gold without

While some are only gilded forms all padded

And while the modest, worthy man the world

The one who makes the noise is sure to get the

know why all the cattle tagged the old bell
