A SHREWD VENDER.
He Gave n Magnifying Glass with
Every Basketful of Straw
berries Sold.

my pal and l." said New York
morning with strawberries; same
stock, bought at the same time, from
.,he same dealer, and we went uptown
and started in, he along one tier of
blocks and / along another. When we
met at noon he had sold every basket.
] had sold not more than half of mine.
"'How did you do it?' asked him.
"Why, gave 'em a magnifying glass
with every basket he said. And so he
had. The folks would say, as they al
ways do when you go around with
those small little baskets: Where are
they? Baskets so small | can't see it,
Then my pal outs with the magnifying
glass and hands it over and says: You
just take a look at 'em through that
and it brings the basket and the berries
all up so big that what with the size Of
them rs they now appear, the desire for
she early strawberry, and bein' kind o
da1ed with my pals cheek, they buy
'em. And he gives magnifying glass
with every basket, as he can afford to
do, the magnifying glasses being cheap
and strawberries dear.
"Oh, he's a shifty chap, my pal, with
a head full of wit and readiness, equal
10 any situation. It's too late for me to
10 the same thing now this year, for
the big boxes have come in; but next

HOW 1T WAS DONE.
A nit of the Inside History of the
Movement for II statue OF
Miss willard.

A rosy little woman with an air OF
great satisfaction about her ran up to
me after the matinee the other day,
says a writer in the Washington Post.
"Did you see it in the paper?" she
said.
"See what?" | asked.
"Why, that the Illinois legislature
has passed bill for an appropriation to
buy a statue of Frances Willard to put
in Statuary hall at the capitol. knew
we'd do it, and we did do 1t. Isn't it love-
y?"
1 confessed my lack of comprehen-
sion, and she went on:
'You see, just year ago l told you
shat there was a movement on foot
among the Women's Christian Temper
snce union to erect statue to Miss Will
lard. | believe / even went into details.
Well, there wasn't word of truth in it,
/ made it all up myself. l don't know a
soul in the Woman's Christian Temper
Rnce union. but l did know Miss Will
lard, and / wanted so much to have
somebody start the statue idea, so i
started it myself. The Illinois legisla-
tdre may think they've done it, but they
haven't. They've merely followed out
an idea l gave them. l started the
whole thing just by telling you some
thing that wasn't so. You made the
first mention of it, and put you up to
it. I'm mighty proud of myself to-day
We started, we did, but state had to
take it up, for only states are permitted
to put statues in Statuary hall. Never
tell me again that it's always best to
stick to the truth. Just see what little
iudicious prevarication has done!"

DOGS TATTOOED.
An English Method of Marking vsi-
uabIe Animals Adopted in
This Country.

Il has been the practice in London for
some time to tattoo dogs. In some
cases it has been done as a means of
identification; in others 1t is just mere
fad for the ostentatious show of a newly
acquired crest or coat of arms, says the
New York Herald.
The most sensible reason for such a
fad seems to be for Identification In
case of theft or loss. Certain breeders
have certain private marks by which
they can identify dogs of n particular
family. These marks are kept close
track of, and the age and pedigree of
the dog can be settled at once by re-
ferring to the records.
Dog tattooing is now done in this city.
A well-known fancier has tattooed
dogs for the Astors, the Vanderbilts,
Mr.. Whitney, Mr.. Gould and other men
who own valuable dogs.
THE plain markings, such as crosses,
double X and private marks" he said,
'are not done by tattooing, but with a
long, fine needle, such as milliners use,
and fine thread dipped in Indian ink.
This needle is run under the skin in
long stitches, the thread pulled through
and left there for some little time, and
then pulled out again, leaving the stain
OF the ink under the skin, land that stain
can never be destroyed.
Dogs are mostly marked right in the
bend of the fore or hind leg, where there
is no hair and the skin Is very tender
Sometimes ii Is done in the ears.
Perhaps you did not know that higf
priced fowls are tattooed and marked
for pedigree Identification? Well, near
ly every game chicken has some speca
mark upon it, and anyone at all familia,
with the raising of game fowls owns
book which gives all the private mark
fngs of valuable species"
