me that you will always love her-that you

He Got His Wooden Leg Back

The manager of shop in Lewes stood
in the doorway the other day when a man
with wooden leg and a crutch came along
and said:
II want you to do me favor. l want to
leave my leg with you for a few minutes
and go around to the next street and work
house for half a crown. I've an idea that
the folks are very sympathetic. If l go
with one leg I'm sure of it,
Every well,' said the storekeeper; "just
leave your leg and I'll take care of it,
The wooden substitute was unstrapped
and handed over, and the cripple used the
crutch to help himself down the alley.
Five minutes later he rang the door bell
of house in the next street, to have it
opened by the man he had just seen.
"Wh-wha-what!' he gasped.
VERY sympathetic family lives here,
quietly replied the other. You seem to
have met with sad loss, and I'm anx-
ious to help you. Here is d wooden leg
which may fit you"
The leg was handed over. The man sat
down on the steps and strapped it on, and
as he got up and stumped through the gate
he said to himself:
'I've heard of condolences ever since ]
was youngster, but this is the first one
that ever hit me with both feet at once!'

FOR ENGAGEMENT GIFTS
Cupids and Hearts in Odd Little Silve
Designs

Wandering through one of the swell
shops one day last week noticed three or
four handsome cabinets filled with an in
finite variety of small silver articles +
stood looking at them for some time and
finally discovered that the majority of
them in some way or other represented
Cupids and hearts-Cupids and hearts re-
peated ad infinitum, in all styles, shapes,
sizes and fashions. The little silver orna-
ments in the different cabinets We're moth
ing more nor less than engagement pres
ents!
l questioned my informant as to why
these gifts should all be small and all be
silver and if there really was demand
for them.
Il can account for the fact of their being
small and of silver in no other way than
one and that is the fact that the present
fad of having cabinets is on the increase.
and all these little silver articles are essen
TALLY cabinet articles. We have the great
est call for these little Cupid designs, and.
as YOU see, we have any quantity of them.
'Flowers. you must know are passe.
This new fad, however is very useful
one. Among the bridal gifts there are
certain to be two or three little cabinets.
and these little mementoes given in pro-
fusion by well wishing friends, help the
prospective bride to have her cabinet filled
before she receives it."

LEFT ON TRAINS
All Sorts of Articles Are Forgotten by
Absent Minded PeopIe

Recently Chicago railroad displayed
in its unclaimed parcel room five barrels
OF rubber overshoes and box full of false
teeth. All this property and more during
period of six months had been left on
the suburban and through trains by alb
sent-minded passengers. The general bag
gage agent, upon being asked what was
the oldest occurrence of this kind said
that woman once left on train a six
months'-old baby, and she did not miss
1t until trainman overlook her with the
little bundle of humanity before she got
outside of the train shed. 1t was not a
case of abandonment She had forgotten
to take up her own offspring.
Only one-half of the articles left on
trains are claimed and returned to own
ers. AT all the railroad offices in Chicago
are to be found motley collections of about
all the articles which man or woman ever
owned. 1t would be impossible to list them
in a whole page of newspaper.
The article which figures most extensive
ly in the lost and found of the big rail-
roads is the umbrella. An official of the
Illinois Central says he receives in the
baggage department 1900 umbrellas a year.
General Agent Sadd of the Burlington SAYS
his records show about 600 a year, and the
other lines report large collections of this
serviceable article, which is left on trains
in all kinds of weather On recent fine,
sunshiny day, the Burlington railroad
showed on it's record a whole page of
abandoned umbrellas.
Next comes the overshoes, which are
daily found, singly and in pairs, and Of
tentimes odd in size and kind. At all tine
offices they are accumulated to the ex-
tent of barrels. 1t is a common occurrence
to find upper, lower and partial sets of
false teeth. Some give evidence of long
service, while others have been too new,
and have been Laid OUT to give relief,
But they come in all shapes and sizes.
Wearing apparel in large quantities is
to be found in the lost parcel rooms The
clerks in the Atoms quarters at the Union
Square fitted out a dummy figure with
every single article that a man is likely
to wear from head to foot. The articles
were all left piece by piece on the trains
and gathered up by the employees until the
figure was logged out in newest fashion.
The young woman stenographer in Bag

which was found in an envelope box on
train. and there being no claimant, young

Cripples frequently leave their crutches

Wild Bill's Workmanship

'"The last time 1 saw Wild BILL" said the

He was walking down Kansas avenue
when noticed him. His brown mare Nell
was tied to hitching post in front of a
store. He united her, mounted and rode
down the street as hard as he could 60
AS he rode he swung half round in the sad

shooting at the sign Groceries above the
door OF little one-story wooden shop
When he was past and the row was all

that all six bullets had struck inside the

run for the amusement of whoever hap

Conditions Shown by the Dealings on

The view taken of the subject in Wall

been treated by the government.

the advances were made at different times

the stocks or groups of stocks being taken
up and pushed. The local transactions
scored the largest advance and showed
the heaviest dealings of any group on the
list.
The strength of the market showed
tendency to run to the specialties and to-
bacco, General Electric, Western Union
and Susquehanna and Western preferred,

Pullman added five more points to it's re-
markable advance. The mainstay of the
market was the renewed buying on large
scale of New York Central and the strength
of Northwest, Omaha and the other VAN
