"Oh, these fashionable fads make me
tired" said the pretty young lady clerk
in n well-known stationery store. YET
one has to keep posted on them all. or
rather on those that relate to our line, or
we are liable to ioss good customer.
Miss M is one of our very best Gus
toners and her bills for stationery alone
come to a very handsome amount.
All OF her paper bears her family crest,
aud her home address embossed. She
came ia and left an order last week ana
had it filed The package was sent to
her and came back this morning with
rather caustic note saying that the order
was not properly filled." What was
the trouble with it?" "Well. just now
it Is the fad in polite correspondence TO
have the paper different from the envei-
opes and she had been sent envelopes ana
paper Of the same quality"
A chubby-faced, curly-haired little girl
of five got on a cable car mt the loot OF
the hill yesterday afternoon. The expert
ence was new to her, aud her big, brown
eyes took In everything. She looked out
In front and a puzzled look crept over ner
face. 'Why. mamma" she at length IN
ouired. "ain't there any horses?" mo.
dear" She seemed more than ever
amazed. and. In an awed whisper asked:
"Are the horses deadi" IL suppose. So"
replied the mother. Then the little ones
face saddened, and she gave vent to
long-drawn and pathetic "Ah" that
spread smiles through the car.

"He is one of the most interesting men
/ know" declared very voluble young
lady the other night, concerning man
whose speech is golden because OF its
breyity and rarity. "He seems to under
stand one so well and is very sympathet-
ic.n The secret OF the whole thing is
that he is good listener, and
any one who is good listener wins more
friends than the most fascinating con-
versationalist. The reason for IL Is not
difficult to understand. Every one is
more interested in the things
that specially concern themselves
than in listening to the doings,
savings or happenings of others. The
art of listening ia often spoiled by the
mental attitude of prejudging When we
begin to listen we quickly take sides for
or against. as critic or advocate, and
from that moment we cease to be good
listeners-cer tainly we are no longer i'm
partial or fair ones. We welcome that
which agrees with our notions and exag-
gerate Us relative value, while that which
Is opposed to them we ignore and forget.
We are not great enough to listen for the
sake of truth, and to try to discover IL
whatever it may be. We listen with
avidity to that which we like and turn a
deaf ear to the opposite. As when we
look through colored glass the whole
landscape assumes that color, so when
we listen through the medium of private
prejudice we hear only its echo.
A reception was rendered to Rev.
Charles f. Preston. the new pastor OF
the ST. Thomas Episcopal church at
Wanskuck, last evening by the mem bers
OF the parish at the church. The evening
was passed in a pleasant manner, an ex-
temporaneous musical program being rem
dered by local talent. The pastor preached
his first sermon In the new
great impression on the members of
his flock. The event was purely infor-
nal and was very enjoyable. During
the evening light refreshments were
served.
The Providence Institution for Savings.
upon whose Golfers foolish run was
started last Saturday, yesterday began
paying its depositors in gold, actual
gold. The cheering CLEAN of the yellow
metal was an unusual sight and was
hailed by depositors as an infallibe indi-
cation that there is something besides
silver and bank notes at the
bottom Of Uncle Sans promises to pay
on demand. 1t indicates to more logical
minds that some of the gold that is COM
Ing back to this country Is finding it's
way to Providencs aud will soon be
something more than an iridescent
dream.
The question OF right OF way over the
street was raised between teamster and
an organ grinder at Public and Broad
streets yesterday afternoon. Arbitrators
will probably have to be called I'm to
reach a decision, for the disputants
couldn't; even pitched battle failedto

"After the Ball" and other delightful
airs from his organ. Andrew Snow

the street alongside the car tracks.
The musician. ignoring tn, We
hicle, kept on grinding. The teamster,
ignoring the musician. kept moving.
When the horses came uncomfortably
close, the Italian seized bride to stop
them. The Africans hot blood arose
