A woman may be loyal in love, but

TELEGRAPH POLE FOR A SHOP
A Harness Dealer Who Ii Doing a

A telegraph pole in West street, New
York, is utilized as store, says the Sun
of that city. The pole stands in the
middle of the street, not far from Ganse-
WORT market, The stock of the "store"
consists of harness and saddler's hard
ware. These articles are hung upon
iron spikes driven in the pole. The pro-
prietor, who is also clerk, cashier and
BARKER" carries some of the stock on
his person. Lighter weight articles are
around his neck; currycombs, brushes
and other articles are in his pockets.
He holds bunch OF whips under one
arm and carries one lash in his hand.
He circles about his ''store," crying his
wares to the passers by. There are few
streets in New York where there is as
much teaming as in West street, ane
most CT the trade thatcomes to the tele.
graph pole is from transfers.
"What does he do when it rains?'
That is always the question of those
who notice the odd place of business
The proprietor shifts his stock across
the street to place which he patron
ICES and his patronage pays the rent
But he does not shut up shop on rainy
days. Having stored the bulk of his
stock he goes on soliciting iaun
among the shops, carrying few "sidt
lines like commercial agents of tn
more pretentious class, and these ar
salable anywhere.

Since the tocsin of war has sounded,
even the children in the nursery have
their drills and go through the sem
blance of war, says the Des Moines
News. In the northern part of the city
a company of boys has been formed, and
there is nothing done at Camp Mckinley,
probably not at Chickamauga, which
they do not attempt. What with their
blue overalls and white jackets they
look quite soldierly at times! The
mothers in the neighborhood realized
that they might expect anything from
their warlike sons, and so were not sur
prised few days ago when the an
nouncement was made that the boys
were going into barracks in a barn In
the neighborhood. They had been do
ing their own cooking for some time and
now they would be satisfied with moth

and on the hay. On the first night spent
by them in the barn, the mother of one

and presently are swept back into the
battle lines. Their cracking fire ceases
for moment, and then there is a
grand crash of musketry which seems
to rend the skies. The double ranks on
a brigade front have fired together.
Owing to the lay of the ground we cam
not see the combatants, but as volley
succeeds volley, and the volleys are
merged into one grand roar, we know
that there is grapple to the death over
there. There is no talking in the ranks
now. The noise not only prevents it.,
but the men are breathing hard and
quivering with nervous excitement,
and have eyes only for the smoke cloud
rising in the air.
