ing him over there. much speculation
has been created as 10 the real import
Of the ex-ambassadOrs mission.
According TO tine story circulated in

negotiations with certain London capi-
talists before he left for home in May,
and that his return was caused by their
desire to see him to close negotia-
tiohs. The report further says chat

FORGET THEIR CHANGE.
Men I'm Hurry TO Get Away After
Making Their Purchases.

y man entering a State street book
store, made several small purchases,
threw down dollar bill to pay for them
and as soon as his package was handed
to him turned TO go out. The clerk
called after him, says the Chicago
Times-Herald.
Hi, there! Don't you want your
changer" and he handed the customer
the best part of his dollar.
THAT happens every day." said the
clerk, land we give quite an amount
at the end of the year to charitable or
CARNATIONS from the fund created by
change that has not been called for.
1t seems as if customers have only
one idea, and that is to get their goods
and go away"
do they ever come back for the
changer"
Very rarely, and then it is always
for change that was left somewhere
else. / often wonder how such people
get through the world. And another
funny thing is, the customer never
seems TO expect the change when we
offer it TO them, that is after he has
forgotten it. You saw how that man
looked when we called him back
just as if was making him responsible
for some other mans mistake. 1t takes
all kind of people to make a world"
