short Shrift.

One of the leading banking firms in

clerk OF the name of Stephenson. Fer
about three years the mans punctuality
was altogether unprecedented. He came

not leave the Office before the last stroke

Besides, during the whole time he never
asked for holiday. One fine morning,
however, to the great surprise of his su-

permission to absent himself for an hour

Next day at - he left the Office. Ii
was observed that a carriage stood wait

drove up again in the same carriage and
resumed his calculations as cool and self
possessed as if nothing had happened.
This short absence puzzled the brains OF
all the employees in the bank. The prin.

of clerks to dinner. Between two glasses

Cheap Funerals. in New York.

respectable funeral for $3.50, but that

that l can give for the money. The
people in this neighborhoed are mostly
Polish Jews and Greeks, who are nearly
all very poor, and $3.50 represents a
small fortune. Only few of them, in
my experience, have ever expressed any
objection to having their dead buried in
Potter's field, but they all are sensitive
and superstitious about the funeral, and
will sacrifice almost anything to obtain
coffin and hearse.

worrying the Elevator Conductor.

The decoration of. elevators has be-
coE.e quite an art in some of the down
town Office buildings. One of the pio-
neers in this work has transformed an
elevator in the New York Life building
into sort of japanese bower. He says
he has to spend most of his life there,
and believes in softening the asperities
of labor with attractive surroundings.
While he easily holds the lead in this
sort of finery, others of his kind have
done very well. The nabob of one
caboose down town who is always
on the lookout for fancy prints and gew-
gaws, and who had rather stretch his
legs and contemplate the luxury of his
apartment than carry passengers, was
presented the other day by a tenant O.

inscribed. You press the button and we

with 1t that he made it central decora.

His tenants admired it, commented OF
its fitness for such place, and praised
his taste in framing it. After it hao

black line in ink had been drawn under
the words 'the rest" Another line soon

Selling Strawberries at a Profit,

There are tricks in all trades but
ours" said retail grocer to me recently.
"You wonder how it is that we are able
to sell strawberries at less than they cost
us and still make money. 1t is puzzler
to the uninitiated, isn't it? But after all
it is simple enough when you know how.
"For instance, go down to the mar
ket and buy a crate of strawberries for
thirty cents a box. Now my trade is
not rich enough to pay me even thirty
five cents box, and at less than that |
make no profit.
well, take those berries and empty
them out of the boxes. Then | take a
nice piece of white paper, which is much
cheaper than strawberries, and drape,
as 1t were, the box. Then | take the
berries and arrange them very carefully
in such way that all that are any way
touched with decay go to the bottom and
only the fine, ripe, sound ones are in
sight. By leaving plenty of space
between the berries, except the top layer,
have no difficulty in filling two of the
draped boxes with the contents of one
of the original, and then they look much
richer and more appetizing and sell
better.
when this is done, out they go in
front of the store marked twenty cents
box, and before know it they are all
sold, netting me nice little profit If
had tried to sell them in the original
boxes at thirty-five cents would have
had good many left on my hands to
spoil.

of the Thames embankment in most
curious company. He was at last helped

Old Jokes Are Good.

A professional bumorist said the other
day: There is a great truth about Jokes
which both readers and writers recog-
nize in practice, but do no: often formu-
late 1t is this:
a good joke improves no less with
age than does wine. Once upon time
there was a famous speaker whose toll
erably bad lecture started off and ended
with two of the most exquisite Jokes
ever invented. People Travelled miles
and sat patiently through the same lect-
IRE year after year to split their sides
laughing at the same old jekes. After
the effect of the Introductory joke had
worn off there was always perfect 81
lence until the lecture was three-quar-
tiers done, when the anticipations Of an
audience which had never been swindled
would begin to break out in gurgling
laughter, mods, winks and whispers of
Its coming!" And when at last this
well seasoned old chunk of wit brought
the performance to close the very roof
was raised
But one fatal night there was bad
case OF dyspeptic pessimism in front
seat. 1t is true that when he roared
chestnut" at the first joke the audience
nearly mobbed him, but the lecturers
tender spot was touched. He prepared
a new lecture, which began and endea
with two absolutely fresh jokes. When
the lecturer walked upon the platform
with his new manuscript in his hand he
received an ovation.
The first new joke seemed to stupefy
the people. But a few sentences of the
new lecture woke them up, and they rose
as one man and demanded their money
at the box Office. At the next town the
lecturer affixed the old jokes to the new
lecture, and all went so well that he is
still cracking them with constantly in
creasing success.-Chicago Mail
