"WeH, WELL" remarked a leading

smiled at the vanity of women as they
take long and fond chances at their
reflections in the store windows, but
woman is not a marker for the ordi-
nary man. The uglier man is the
longer it takes him to suit himself wi h
a hat and the oftener does he look int
to the glass while buying one. | have
an unusually prepossessing customer
who would exhaust the patience
of II Job. He came into the store
the day after the styles arrived and
consumed two hours and ten minutes
in getting hat that pleased hiIn.
The next day he returned the hat N q
had one made to order. This man is

THE TILLIGE STORE.

When the twilight had deepened to darkness
They gathered from far and near,
Old farmers who plodded the distance
AS pilgrims their shrines to revere;
At the shabby old store at the Corners
They met and they entered the door,
For the Mecca of all these old cronies
Was the stove in the old village store.
1t was guiltless of beauty or polish,
And Its doors were unskillfully hung,
But they made Il glad circle around it,
And the genial warmth lOoSed each tongue
And they talked of the crops and the weather
Twin subjects to gossip most dear,
And the smoke from their pipes as it blended
Gave tinge to the whole atmosphere.
Full many the tales they related,
ana wondrous the yarns that they spun,
AND doubtful the facts that they stated,
And harmless the wit and the fun;
But II ever discussion grew heated
1t was all without tumult or din,
And they gave their respectful attention
when Il customer CHANGED TO come in.
When the evening was spent and the hour
For the time of their parting had come,
They raped from their pipes the warm ashes,
And reluctantly started for home;
Agreeing to meet on the morrow,
When the day, with its laborS, was DER
For the Mecca of all the old crones
Was the stove in the old village store.

that it ought to pay him tribute.
SO he improvised fort on this rock,
and no cargo passed that way afterward
unless it paid him toll for the privi-

There is an old legend to the etfect
that st. Patrick bauished all reptile
from Ireland by. beating a drum, but no
one, probably, seriously believes the
story. According to tile myth, he took
his drum out for the purpose mentioned
and commenced pounding it SO vigor-
ously that he knocked a hole in the
drumhead, thus seriously e~ndnngcring
the success Of the miracle. While pom
dering what to do st. Patrick was as
tonished by the appearance of an angel,
who Immediately set to work to mend
the broken musical instrument. After
the hole had been. mended the angel
vanished, and st. Patrick continued tho
work Of serpent baniahing, being sue.
cessful H. Kidding the island of every
representative of the snake tribe except
one old stayer who had lived so long
that his tusks protruded from his mouth
like horns. This monster refused to
leave the "land of his fathers and the
good saint resolved to practice a little
piece at strategy. He removed the patch
which the angel had put III the drum
head and then persuaded the serpent to
creep into the drum for the night. When
the Ioptile had done as requested, st.
Patrick glued down the magic patch
and then threw drum, serpent and all
into the Sea. A sunken bowlder off tho
west coast of Ireland is called St. Pat
