Henry StOIze's
Strange Experience.

Strange Experience.
Henry Stole tells a queer story
of recent visit to Philadelphia,
He casually entered large joJ-
bling house which does a big bust
ess III Christmas novelties. NJ.
Stole wished to dispose of some
OF his candlesticks which he makes
as specialties for Christmas trees.
He walked up to the manager of
the house, and after few pleas
ant words he preached his bust
ness.
No, no, sir! we are not buying
your candlesticks,' said the man
ager, rather brus1uely. THE
candlesticks you sold us last year
are dead stock on our hands, and
it is not likely that we will do
business with you any more
Mr.. Stole was taken aback by
this speech, the more so because
he knew his house had never sold
bill of goods to the Philadelphia
firm.
What was the trouble with the
oandlesticks?" said Mr.. Stole dip
lomatically, seeming some dissat-
isfaction with the article in the
store
why, man, said the manager,
the candlesticks that you manu-
facture lop over and will not hold
to the tree, and those we did sell
were returned and the bills can
celled.
Il think you have made Il mis-
take" said Mr.. Stole. Il have
never sold you any goods whatev-
er. Wherever you got the candle
sticks | don't know, except that
you did not get them from me.
well, said the manager, are
you not Mr.. of the firm
of MeSSrS. -------."
mo, said Mr.. Stole, | am Hen
nv Stole of Manitowoc, Wis, and
my candlesticks are entirely dis
similar from those you have.
The manager then looked at the
samples shown by Mr.. Stole and
after little parley said: Send
me a hundred gross.

phia's business men read with especial in
terest the announcement OF the placing OF
a loan Of S25. .0OO. 600 in New York by the
Russian Government. They regarded it as
strong evidence that Russia will continue
to be a big buyer in American markets.

the Baldwin Locomotive Works have al

and the Cramps will get 5000 900 Of the
new loan for work to be done in their

Charles II. Cramp said last night: This
big loan is but a beginning. other nego-
tiations that are under way indicate that
this is not an isolated case. but that it is

that General Joubert has been making a
