He Sized Tn His Customer.

A rather loudly dressed gentleman"
stepped into the necktie department Of
a big shop the other afternoon, and in
a supercillous tone that would have
rett.ed a craven image into anger Ut
tered the single manda DRY word:
"Neckties."
Then he threw back his head as If the
assistant was entirely beneath his no.
tice. This top-lofty air aggravated the
ass slant. but he quietly displayed a
number of late patterns with deferen-
tial air.
These" he said obseqiously, "are
the very newest things and are excel
lent quality at shilling"
"A shilling" haughtily snapped the
customer; "a shilling! Do look like
a man who would wear a shilling neck
tie. Is there anything about me to in
dictate that I"
Il beg your pardon, SIR" meekly in
terpcsad the assistant; 1.-The sixpenny
counter Is at the other end of the shop"

mass OF wreckage that told Of disaster

ghastliness and horror to the awruI
scenes already depicted there. Now

most helpless way into the harbor. and
from the men aboard these were got
ten the stories Of the stoYm's awful
fury Mt sea- The entire island OF Porto
Rico was storm swept. but the worst
destruction was wrought along the
southern coast in the vicinity Of Ponce
and twenty miles inland. Sickening
scenes abounded upon every side; half
dazed. sunken eyed. weeping men.
women and children went wailing to
and fro; rows of dead awaited identifi-
cation; strings Of dead carts. with their
gruesome burdens, ratified away to the
cemeteries. while everywhere there
was an oppressive. heart-rending. fu-
nereal atmosphere that seemed to hang
like pail Of despair over the stricken
isle.
Full particulars Of the terrible storm
show the great destruction and &C.
centuate the horrible condition OF the
peasant. or peon. Houses and roofs to
shelter were as serious questions as
food was before the government issued
free rations and made other provisions
to feed the destitute. The ruins In
most cases consisted OF floor only.
with a few articles left thereon. At
Ponce and along the southern shore
the hurricane spent its greatest fury.

the windows might lie kept closed. as
the noise interfered with the progress

At dusk the worst seemed to be over,

bodies Of daughter, father, mother and

At one place in the street where the
