man and his friend had left the for
mer's office to go to lunch and when
they had descended the stairs accom-
panied by the hosts dog, a valuable
sporting animal, the friend found that
he had left his gloves in the Office and
must again climb up the stairs. The
other said: Let the dog smell of your
hand and he'll get the gloves for
you So the visitor allowed the dog
to take the scent from his hand and
trotting up stairs speedily returned
bringing-not the gloves but the pink
ribbon the pretty type writer had been
wearing about her waist!
A gentleman recently brought to the
attention of the Portland Sunday
Times Observer the change which has
in. late years come over the spirit of
the throngs on Congress street. Time
was when the right hand side going
westward was crowded in the evening
while the opposite walk was as de-
a6 a tho miami he of no
after nine o'clock in the evening But
with the erection of new buildings on
that side of the stret, people have
been lured from the old familiar paths
and one side of the principal business
avenue of the city looks very much
like the other nowadays.
We see no reason why the man who
has ten dollars should not have the
same privileges as one that has twen-
ty dollars. But such is not the case.
The man with the twenty dollars is al
lowed to ride for two cents per mile
ON the Maine Central railroad, while
his less fortunate brother, who has
but ten or twelve dollars, has to pay
two and one-half cents per mile
Cathance Breeze.
In the same way we might say that
there is no reason why the man whose
lack of means compels him to buy
-four by the pound should not secure
t just as cheap as the more fortunate
nan who has money enough to buy it
by the carload or demand what rea-
son there is why the man who is
obliged to buy his goods at retail
should not get them as cheaply as the
fellows who buy them at wholesale.
Dr. why farmers should not sell their
apples by the peck just as low as they
do by the carload? These are fair
parallels. If man will buy his mile
age at wholesale any railroad can af-
'ord to make him concessions in price.
just as the wholesaler can sell his
goods at less figure than the re-
ailer In this respect the railroads do
not differ from other business con-
'erns. and must be governed by the
same we'll established business prin-
,iples.
