ANOTHER MEAN MAN,
Bachelor Who Gets Sewing Machine
 Agents to Do Mending.

~Hess the meanest man that I ever had anything to do with, said the ssewing-machine agent. T received s note from him tue other day saying that he desired to view one of our matchless. machines with the view of purchasing it, if found to be satisfae- tory. In these piping days of compe- aition it is a novelty for sewing machine agent to be invited to call and show goods, and when l had re- covered from my surprise l promptly aoaded machine in my cart and start ed for the address the man had given An old man met me at the door and invited me to bring the machine in. side so he could more closely examine 1t. I did so. setting the machine up Tn the sitting-room. and calling his at Sention to it's fine points. He was an attentive listener, and l talked with the confidence of a man who cons1d- cred a sale certain. Finally, having exhausted all my arguments, he asked to see q practical test of the capabili- %ies Of the machine. I agreed and asked him to bring me something upon which to work. He left the room, re- turning a few minutes later, his arms filled with damaged linen. l sat down at the machine and showed how easily rents and tears could be mended. mak- ing the garment as good as new and saving in a short time the price of the machine. The man seemed very much Interested and kept handing me gar ment after garment that needed atten- fion. l worked for two solid hours mending the old mans garments, anu at last, having nothing else that need ed attention, he commenced to find fault with the machine. Finally he told me that he guessed he wouldn buy a machine right away. l was so mad that I didn't dare trust myself Eo speak, and I was glad afterward that [ didn't, for when l learned the whole truth I realized my total 1nabil- ity to do the subject justice. That miserable old sinner, who happens to be a bachelor had brought me Up there merely to do his mending, and had no iaea of buying a machine. He has worked the same game on other agents.

In the campaign of 1S2S the number was 120000 In the Cri mean war the losses sustained by the four countries which participated amounted to the terrible figure of 60O.~ eco. In f8a9 the French and Austrian forces suffered to the extent of 63.u00. while in the civil war in the United States the victims numbered 656.00o The Franeo-Prussian war caused the death of 290.000 and the Russo-Turkisi War meant death 10 1So,000 men. In order to show the fearful carnage shat may be wrought in one battle, two instances in recent wars are cited. In the battle of Grayelotte, in 1870. the combined losses of the French and Germans were 44,08o men killed. and m the two chief attacks on the strong hold Of Pleynae so gallantly defended by the Turks under Osman Pasha. the Russians and their allies lost 3o,0o0 men, independent of those who died from wounds after the battles.

though he is naturally a careful rider
Some Of his mishaps have been very
painful and OF a character that have
threatened to take him permanently
from the track. Why as cautious a
rider as he should get as many spills
as he does Is beyond the ken OF his fell
low whoelmen. all OF whom like 20 see
him ride, but who are nearly all afraid
20 ride with him. Smith says he has
no recollection OF a hare ever having
crossed his path during a snowstorm in
March nor can he recall walking under
a ladder or going upstairs backwards,
though he has often tipped over the
salt and broken n mirror. Some Of his
compatriots are OF the opinion that the
mirror and salt habits are accountable
for his III luck.
But Notwithstanding these commonly
accepted omens Of evil. Mr.. Smith con-
tinucs 10 go on riding and when his
luck changes some Of the older racers
will be compelled 10 look to their
laurels. FOR he has the nerve and ability
