who Retires I'm Haste.
A fne-loolSing man with gray beard
and wearing large Quaker hat walked
serenely down Broadway recently and
when near the Astor house he was ac-
costed by a dapper fellow, clad in loud
striped trousers, says the New York
Commercial-Advertis
"Why, how do you do. Uncle josh
Simpson,"
The Quaker beamed placidly upon the
man who knew him so well. but whose
indurated comtenance he had never
seen before. The confidence man, for
such he was. was shaking the hand of
the Quaker effusively. when the latter,
with a queer twinkle in his eyes, re-
piled:
"Oh, do nothaye so many, but they
are harder"
The swindler. nothing daunted, con
tinued: LET me see; 1 met you some
where. Uncle josh. but / cannot recall

Quaker said.
"Yes. yes; but where was it?"
With that same merry look from his

there in n convict's garb. If not, I am

SIX HAT AND ovERALLs.
A Little story Of street Life which
Points Moral.

n
Points "a Moral.
Down on Broadway one bright morn
ing recently two men were walking
briskly. They were dressed with great
care and good taste. Shiny silk hats,
fresh gloves and glossy shoes indicated
not only attention to little things but
also a comfortable income.
Both men had. alert intelligent faces.
and each looked as il he might be
somebody" The younger man seemed
to be unknown to the majority Of those
on the street. but in his companion pc
destrians recognized one whose reputa-
tion is national. and whose picture has
appeared at one time and another Ia
newspapers all over the country.
At the corner of Cedar street stooda
short. chunky" lad. perhaps 10 years
old. dressed in overalls and Jumper" ."
In one hand he carried piece Of lead
pipe. in the other soiled scrap Of
paper. His smutty face had ananNious
look.
As the two well-dresscd men reached
the boy he stopped them with: SAY,
boss. kin yer tell me where dis place is9'
and he held out the scrap Of paper 81
been chasin' meself all up an down de
street, an I can't hit de combination"
The older man took the paper with a
pleasant smile and said: Il shall be
very glad TO help you il can"
He read the address and saw at once
that the place was probably on the
other side of the street. He excused
himself to his friend, waded through
the mud on the crossing. and, with the
plumbers apprentice at his side.
searched the signs without success.
Then he took the boy to the drug
store on the corner and helped him run
over the names in the directory until he
found that the boys employer had
made mistake in the number.
The correct address was substituted
and the lad in overalls put upon the
right track by his distinguished guide
with such marked courtesy that the boy
paused, as he turned away, to say in a
somewhat subdued tone; "Much
'bliged to yer sir"
The man in the silk hat bowed cour-
teously in acknowledgment, and re-
crossed the street to his waiting friend
"Seems to me you took a good deal
of trouble to set that boy right" was
the younger mans greeting.
ut was a good chance TO teach him
manners" said the other. "Boyslike him
are quick to learn. They work hard
and get on fast in business or trade. be-
cause some one corrects them when
they make mistakes. But how can they
learn politeness? They get their man
ners from the people around them. II
everybody's rude to them they must
grow up rude themselves. 1t seems "a
me good deal worse TO be impolite to
a boy like that than to be impolite TO a
man in my own set."-Youth's Com

The military revival of japan, which
began with the conquest of China,
showed itself in the various ways the
great industries of the country cele-
brated the heroic incidents and victories
of the war, says Atlantic. The toy
makers sent out legions of mechanical
toys representing the flight of Chinese
soldiers, the storming of Port Arthur
and the fight of the Japanese flagship
with the enemy's ironclads.
Artists commemorated the nations
triumphs in porcelain, metal work and
lacquer ware. Designers portrayed
them on the dresses of men, women
and children. Tobacco pouches. sleeve
buttons, hairpins, combs and even chop
sticks were covered with representa-
;ions that expressed the war spirit
Bundles Of toothpicks in tiny cases
were offered for sale, each toothpick
having engraved upon it, in micro
scopic text, different poem about the
war.
Gallant deeds were dramatized. The
fatal courage of japanese soldier who
scaled a rampant and opened a fortress
gate to his comrades; the heroism of
IA troopers who held their own against
300 infantry; the successful charge of
unarmed coolies upon Chinese bat
talon were reproduced before thou

although the government has officially
signified. from time TO time. its approval
Of the medical practice of the foreign
