photographic Report of n Dialogue In
Chestnut street.
He was nm elderly gentleman, with a
Mic lwber-like appearance. He stood
looking ut nunper of men engaged in
hosting heavy sac into the fifth
story of large building on Chestnut
street the other afternoon.
After gazing for some timo Mt the
tackle that was being arranged he ac-
costed the man who was directing the
work and said:
"Will you let me speak to you n min
ute, young man.
"1n few minutes; I'm busy now"
replied the rigger.
"But it is important that I should
speak to you at once" persisted the old
fellow.
"vcry we'll" exclaimed the other,
impntiently Hold on, Dan. Now,
then, what is it?" e
"Do you think 1t is safe to attempt to
lower that safe up your way?" inquired
the ''cranll, he,itatintly.
"Ccrtainlv! | know my business"
"That's all very well, young man;
but I'm leetlr bit oldern you an
know more about this world'n you
do"
"Yes; all right!' shouted the rigger.

"Stand mack there, please"
"Yes But I'm afraid you will let

81 thinl; you are 4. blasted old crank"
"VYhat! Young nun"
"Stand back, old FOSSIL" shouted the
rigger "or well drop the uxmaravel-
GUS, as you would call it, on your
head"
"You impudent young rascal! You
should know better than to address a
man old enough to be your father in
that manner. VIII you try my way?"
mo! That settles it, old sticls-in-the-
mud. Get out Of the way"
"IIuml Fiddlestic5s! Young men
these days know too much for their
breeches anyhow. All right! All
right! You folks had better git far
back. That wild, ilnpudent boy will
let that thing drop as sure as guns are
made of iron. If he would only try my
way he might save life and labor. But
I've warned him."
And he retired TO the rear to await
developments. Philadelphia Press

Among the trifles OF the toilet are the
new Terry ties made of shot silk.
They are about eight inches wide and
are sold in every shade and com bina-
tion of two colors. They are intended
to ii" smartly under the chin in a full
soft bow with short ends A tie of this
sort eminently brightens the somber
tone of out-of.door coats and if we'll
chosen the BIT of color improves the
wearer's complexion The silk takes
little room beneath the collar. but the
bow when tied looks sufficiently i'm
portant, and is a slight protection also.
By this means the dull look character
istic, for instance, of a black cloth coat
buttoned to the chin can be considera-
bly, enlivened Sometimes bright
corresponding scarf is carried around
the hat, with smart outstanding bows,
and quill feathers thrust in at the side.

He Sold His blanket and Lost the Money
at Monte, Then Robbed Ills Wife.
An Indian came into camp one night
and offered beautiful blanket for sale.
He wanted twenty-five dollars for it,
and while it was marvel of beauty the
officers thought they could make tina
trade with ten dollars. They offered
that amount over and over, but the
savage declined, wrapping himself up
in it at last and striding out of camp.
But he came back just before bedtime
and took ten dollars in great apparent
hurry. lie disappeared with the money,
mounted his pony and galloped away.
Early in the morning he came back
before half the men were astir. He had
another blanket which he wanted to
sell 1t was neither new nor very
handsome. No one seemed to want it.
The Indian through the interpreter,
begged for customer on the ground
that he needed the money to buy -four
for his children
''Why don't you buy flour with the
ten dollars you got last night?" de-
manded the captain.
"All gone" said the Indian, sadly.
''Gone WHEREOF in some surprise.
Monte, " was the ready, calm reply.
Where did you get this blanket?"
asked the officer, after moment.
Went home and pulled it from my
wife" said the shameless aborigine.

constitutes one OF the greatest curioai-

nearly surrounded on al sides by legal

branches of the plane trees, AMI up to
the present the birds have always ye-
turned in the spring to put them m ro-

At one time this rooliery was tar

given being dog-biscuit stepped in

Truly, man is "fearfully and wonder
fully made" No her creature could
exist on such diet. 1t would kill a GO
rilla in a month 1t does kill, though
moro slowly, thousands of that high
and mighty variety OF the human race
commonly called gentlemen. Univer-
sal temperance in eating and drinking
would quadruple the general health
and add years to the average life of the
race.
Exercise is as essential to health
as temperance, In fact, intern
perate eater; and drinkers sometimes
stave off disease for many years by
using their muscles manfully. AS a
rule, however, your gormlndizers and
guzzlers are ipdolent There is story

the panacea in the mallet passed

refuse to have the coal put in unless it
has been thoroughly wet In places
where there are hydrants this is very
easy matter and one that the truckman
frequently attends to without orders,
where there is no running water few
pailfuls from the we'll or cistern will
save all trouble. In very cold weather
this is scarcely practicable as the water
freezes as soon as it touches the coal.
In such case | insist in having the
coal screened repeatedly and put in with
a great deal of care. The long chutes
that dealers use to conduct the coal into
the bins can be so arranged the coal
does not fall any great distance, thus
breaking off little PARTICLES and grind
ing them to dust There are few more
annoying things than to find one's en-
