NO SALE AFTER ALL.

a Strangers Marrow Escaps from Buying
the Last North River Crawfords.
'North River Crawfords" was the
legend over two baskets of uncommon
ly large and finely -colored peaches in

by paused to admire the peaches and
the proprietor, out in scent of trade,
said hastily:
TRY one of them"
"No, thank you," was the answer.
"Do, though" insisted the merchant
"I'll take it as favor. You needn't
buy"
IL couldn't think of it. I've really
no idea of buying"
"But come, try 'em, and tell your
friends about EN-" said the dealer,
opening one Of the peaches. They're
the very last of the season. thought
last week / should get no more, but
they sent me down fifty baskets this
morning, and they're all gone but
these two"
But why should you give me a
peach when I've no notion of buying?"
asked the stranger shamefacedly, as
the two halves of the peach were
thrust into his hand. There seemed
nothing for it but to accept the mer-
chants hospitality, and having eaten
half the peach, the stranger asked tie
price.
"Three dollars basket" was the
reply.
Handsome price"
"Yes, but l sold two dozen baskets
of 'em to the Waldorf for seven-fve
dollars"
"They don't seem quite as sweet as
the earlier peaches were"
That's because they're cold. After
you've had 'em two hours in the house
they'll taste like honey. Could You
use both baskets? II you can, I'll put
'em ut two dollars and fifty cents
each"
mo, really couldn't" said the
stranger. still munching the second
half of the peach.
"Mebbe you'll take one basket at
two dollars? Yes? John, bring the
burlap," and it looked as il the
stranger must take those peaches
whether or no.
But he plucked up courage to de-
cline again and the burlap was re-
moved from the mouth of the basket.
''John, don't sell this basket. I'll
send it home" said the dealer to his
man, and then turning once more to
the stranger, who was looking about
for a graceful mode of retreat. he
said: What do you say to dollar
and half?"
With these words the burlap was
again tied over the mouth of the bas-
ket. and the stranger was moving
away with thanks and apologies as
the dealer inquired whether he would
take 'em along or have 'em sent?"
When the stranger passed that way
half an hour later the very last two
baskets of North River Crawfords of
the season stood in the same spot, and
beside them was third basket of the
same variety. The dealer little sus-
pected how near he came to selling
the two at thlee dollars each.-N. Y.

WANT TO BE cREMATep.
Peculiar Request Made by Many Amer

Peculiar Request Made by Many Amer
loans Abroad. ~
Speaking of the numerous deaths
abroad of Americans and the difficulties
often encountered in getting remains
transported across the ocean, owing to
the superstition of sailors, many OF
whom would not sail on a vessel which
they knew to have body on board,
prominent Milwaukeean who crosses
the ocean about once year states that
a large majority of leading Americans
carry about their persons written re-
quests that their bodies be cremated
in case of death while in foreign land.
There are several reasons for this,
added the traveller. "Onc great reason
is that the laws of most foreign coun-
tries do not permit of cremation unless
there exists a written request OF the
person whose body is to be disposed of
in that way. Less than year ago the
daughter of n gentleman from Wiscon-
sin died while travelling in Europe with
her parents. Notwithstanding the fact
that personally she preferred crema-
ton, and her parents desired to carry
the idea out, it could not be done there
because they could not produce writ
ten request signed by the daughter stat
ing that such was her wish. Under
these circumstances the remains were
brought back to this state.
'.In most cases persons travelling in
foreign lands who prefer cremation
have in their possessions small cards
bearing in print or writing the mes
sage: In the event of my unexpected
death while travelling away from home
desire that my body be cremated.'
This bears the signature of the person
carrying it, and in some instances the
particular crematorium preferred is
mentioned on the cards. "-Milwaukee

1t Is One OF the Most Unattractive Traits
In IA Woman.
Speaking of self-consciousness, my
dear, the self-conscious girl or woman
is just the one you and / pray to be
delivered from. She is not to be pitied,
as is the shy girl, although much of
her self-consciousness may have de-
veloped from shyness The self-con-
scious girl is fin Ge steele from the top
of her head to the tip of her little
boot When greeting you she scarcely
touches your hand SO anxious is she
that her elbow should be at just the
conventional height, and the tiny
pressure conveys not n whit of genuine
heartiness. You can not imagine anyone
as being really glad to see her. She is
forever adjusting her gloves, veil or fur
bellows. Her walk is long, swinging
stride in which there is less of grace
than of premeditated determination to
walk just as she has planned it all
out. Altogether, the self-conscious
girl is not lovable, for she is too arti-
fetal. The girl we all love and delight
to have in our houses is genuine, first
and last. She may know all the latest
DEGREES of fashion, but .they seem as
much part of her as il she had created
them for her own pleasure. There is
never suggestion of doing by rule
any of the graceful courtesies of life.
There is spoptaneity that is the out
come of no mental taking note of time
or place. We are always glad to see
her and regret exceedingly that we do
not see her Observation-Disclosures

grant all this. However, there was
one thing in which we excelled, and it
was sticking fact of which we
should be proud: that was, that our
flag was never unfurled for TREASON.
or for an unjust cause; or for any
political wrong. 1t had nothing to
apologize for in its splendid history,
This, he said, was only the national
side, Would that the individual life,
under the flag could say the same
thing. Here the preacher dwelt at
great length in showing that it was
through Divine Providence that this
nation was called into being, and that
God had purpose IN IL, and SO, he
argued that the flag was the symbol of
that purpose, and that we did not
really glory in that flag, when as in
diViduals, we we were inhuman in our
relations in life, or were the victims Of
intemperance, and were the followers
of strange and wild theories which
scorned and treated with contempt the
word and will of God, as expressed in
domestic, social and political order,
Here the preacher said, that the
splendid history of the country was u
pledge of a splendid future for the
nation; but this splendid future could
only be wrought out through moral
and spiritual conquests, and such con
quests would be real and could only
come through much suffering He
asked the veterans to interpret the
word conquest in the light of their
war experiences, of which he gave a
vivid picture. And he argued, that as
q nation triumphant we would go
in history, bnt these triumphs would
come through panics and strikes and
tribGlations, which would teach us in
time, how We must walk orderly and
honestly, and soberly,' if we are
worthy Of the flag and country. And
this would be a national victory,
which would show TO the world how
we led captivity captive.
In closing, the preacher spoke of the
Woman's Relief Corps (Which was
present) and its work, and how Il at
the veterans could have no fear that
their work and service would not be
appreciated while the work of these
women "in ministering and not being
ministered unto" might be overlooked,
and the best thing the veterans could
do would be to walk worthy
of these fair co -laborers; to be as pure
as they were; to be as strong and
courageous for the right as they were;
and the blessing of life and the peace
of death would be theirs forever.
And for the sons of these veterans,
the preacher gave the wholesome
advice, that they could not live in the
the shadow Of their fathers reputa-
ton, but they must win victory for
themselves, in doing something for
their fellowmen in suffering for their
country, in ascending and leading
captive of all that is mean and con-
temptible in life.
