 Mrs Dawson had the womanly love for bargain She had often spent 10 cents car fare to secure some lovely treasure that was marked down from S1 to 9s cents just for that day. She was more than provoked that Dawson. who was with her. did not grow enfhu- siastie
 "You know you need a suit, said Mrs. Dawson. Why not order it now and save $l0
 Dawson was certain tho suits would be as cheap next week, but his wife re- fused to move on and dragged the help less man into the store. The polite clerk assured them that it was the bar. gain of the century and that this week was positively the last.
 With mental protests but with cut ward calm, Dawson, like clay in the hands of the potter, allowed himself to be measured. Then he left a deposit. He called ill four days and took the suit away
 There. " exclaimed Mrs. Dawson. in triumph, when her husband appeared arrayed in his new suit. you never had a better fit nor more becoming pattern. Just think how much money your wife saved for yoa by being on the lookout for bargain!
 Mir. Dawson preserved a digniiled si- lence and waited patiently for his bet. ter half to get her hat on straight pre-. paratory to accompanying him to the city
 Mrs. Dawson awaited with impa- tienee the passing ef the store where she had saved money for her husband. She wanted 10 call his attention to the fact again that he might remain prop eTly thankful

 She looked for the window. and her faith was rewarded It bad been the last week The sign now read, Any Suit In This Window SIS Chicago Record

 Don't voR worry about me, re. re1red the veteran. That boy will be ali the greater for winning with the handicap. Let me tell you about his marksmanship One day last winter ne went cut with me 10 hunt labbIts, ala the luck Was poor. We had been out about four hours, and all of sudden great big rabbit like calf jumped ap right at bis feet--the boys feet, mean and the bey kicked him one Ill the lios and knocked him cnt ;e infinite.

We Jogged alpng, the Ley C; v yiAg the rabbit Ill his game t-s, u1l somehow it kind of came to and was about to get away, when noticed it.
 Here, said l, thinking of some thing, it won't ever do to take that home and tell the folks yon kicked it to death. It's got to be shot, and we might IS well do it now as any other time.
 So I gets cut a string and ties it to the rabbits hind leg, and hangs him on the limb of q tree, and the boy gets off about 90 yards with q rifle to make il kind of sporty. and, after sighting a long time, harg goes the gun, down comes tie rabbit, and the way he skln' ned out for the short timber was q eau ton to inged fowls, for he fairly flew.

 'l1id reA ever notice, said veteran tonsoria' artist, who had shaved New HaveneSs slnee 1878. to New Haven Register man, that you only see a few old barbers?'
 Why Is it?''
 There are a good many reasons, D answered the veteran knight of the blade. Il suppose Che chief one is thas barber's hand becomes unsteady after he gets to Ike about 40 years old and he has to give up. X good many barbera drink hard. and that makes their nerves and hands unfit for service, and they retire before they cut their customers throats. Still, will say that in all ny experience of S7 years 1 never saw q man badly cut by q barber. not even by an accident for which the barber vas not responsible
 What becomes of the barbers after they retire?''

Hot Stuff.

The GC@e egolitan publishes new rendering Qf the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" and declares, referring to Richard Le Gallienne as the responsible party, that these quatrains will assure to him q leading place among living English poets B What the literary world has been famished for, what it has crayed with intense craving, is q new version of the Rubaiyat, and what would represent it's widest dreams is a version prepared by the distinguished oriental scholar, Richard Le Gallieune, who has already given to the world some ecstatic prose faHoies and possesses the finest shock of hair in Great Britain. 1t is true that the Rnbaiyat has been done" into English by several gentle men of literary ability and respectable scholarship There was, for example, Mir. Fitzgerald, who has obtained q lit. tle temporary notorieiy through some very pretty jingles on Omar's wine cup and roses but the result was not satis- factory either to Mir. Le Gallienno or 10 tho editors of The Cosmopolitan, and to this fact we are indebted for such lines as these;
 Like to maid who exquisitely turns
 promising lpce to him who, waiting burns In hell to hear her answer. SO the world
 Tricks all and hints what nc man ever learns
 We believe that we are justified in saying that a man who is burning iu hell while q maid is exquisitely turning a promising face is what is known eel loquially as hot stuff, " considerably warmer than anything Mrs. Wilcox has dished up Ill late years. We congrata late fine Cosmopolitan on its success in securing MT Le Gallienne's quatrains and we have only words of admiration for Mir. Le Gallienne's brilliant idea. We hope that he may feel encouraged by the eager applause of the literary public 10 perseyere OH present lines and give us other amended version of inc ancient poets. Chicago Post.
