THE MEN WHO BUY NOT.
Why Newsdealers Sometimes Slip Rubber
 Bands Around Their Magazines.

Why Newsdealers Sometimes Slip Rubber
 Bands Around Their Magazines.
 The man who gets up early in the morning so he can have look at his neighbours paper before the rightful owner has a chance to take it ill from his doorstep does not stand very high in the estimation of the newsdealer. This is because he spells trade.
 There is another man, however, who is. even more cordially detested by the vendor of periodicals He is the fellow who never buys anything, but has the habit of dipping into the weekly papers and magazines Tho keeper of news stand makes tempting display of his stock, for he knows that strong pie ture or even q pretty cover often brings him a stray customer. but he expects the mere locker on to be content with this much, and he is likely to frown upon the man who resorts to all kinds of schemes ill order to get peep at the inside pages.
 The stands in the ferry houses and railway stations suffer the most from these penurious cranks, for there is nothing else to attract their attention while they are waiting for boat or a train. They run through the leaves of the latest books and magazines and have been known to draw the tacks out of papers nailed up against the stand so that they could see what was On the other side of the sheet. But it is not what they see and read for nothing that worries the newsdealer. He would be willing to put up with that if they did not injure his stock. Indeed, he would much rather have man take up a mag azine bodily and carefully examine ev- cry page than to have him grab it by one corner and bend up all the leaves in surreptitious attempt to see the pictures He would also rather have you ask him to hand you periodical than to have you shove his stock all out of line while trying to see the half of the page that is hidden by pile of oth- CT papers.
 So great is this nuisance that the newsdealers had to adopt schemes for their own protection. The most success ful, so far as preventing the leaves from being turned, consists of placing a rub Der band around the top and bottom of a magazine and using it on the top of each pile New York World.

WHEN LovgLAse CAME 10 woo.

 The feet of time make fast their pace, And we. like players i'll play, Strut up and down our little space And act our parts as best we may. Alasl Alack and well dayl
 The stage is dight in sonlber hue. Where once that stately vogue held sway, When Richard Lovelace came to woo. And much we marvel as we trace The feuds and foibles passed away, While pomp of power and pride of place Troop down the years in grand array. In court and camp, in fete and fray, Pickle and fippant, stanch and true, Such were the gallants, bold and gay, When Richard Lovelace came to woo. In doublet fine and frills of lace
 The lover sought his suit to pay; With such form and such face, Who could resist his plea, pray. And then that tender roundelay, So like wood doves plaintiye coo, Sweet Lucy could not say him nay When Richard Lovelace came to woo.
 ENVOY.
 Ho, Kentish towersl your lordly race Had swords to draw and deeds to do In that eventful year of grace,
 When Richard Leyelace came to woo. -Lucius Harwood Foote in Overland.
