this seasons receipts will run ahead of

in the wholesale markets. The following

A party of women were going to the
Paris exposition grounds in an omni-
bus, and each one paid her own fare.
When the driver collected the money
from the box into which the fares were
dropped he found the amount short.
He stopped to tell woman seated
nearest to him that one fare was miss
ing She told him she thought all had
paid, but he shook his head vigorously.
"Non, nonw said he, whereupOn she
turned to the others and asked them in
French if they had all paid. The reply
was chorus of OUR apparently
from all Sides but the driver still pro-
tested The passengers became indig-
nant, the man shouted and gesticulat-
ed, and for awhile pandemonium reign
ed. Finally the driver yielded, though
unwillingly, to the force of numbers
and turned again to his horses, grum-
bling over the mPanneSS of the foreign
visitors. Meanwhile in Il corner of the
omnibus sat Il little American woman,
wide eyed and astoniShed, the only
passenger who did not know word of
French. When quiet was restored, she
said gently in English: well, really,
| don't know what all that fuss was
about: but now that it is all over, will
you please hand up my fare? haven't

FDYTH MAY CLOy Err.

Gently Miss Clover has been confused
with a mysterious young woman who
has been doing charitable work in the
city hospitals and whom the patients
call the angel with the divine com
pleXion."
I'm not the angel laughed Miss
Glover yesterday, for I've never been
In a hospital in my life"
Still Miss Clovcr's life has not been
devoid of charitable acts. Many an
east side child holds in reverential
memory the fair young girl whose de-
lightful playing has been one of the
chief features at the different holiday
entertainments of the Little Mothers
association.
1T IS a pleasure to make those chill
dren happy for a time and it is only
right that should share whatever gift
of music l may have with them" said
Miss Glover.
Miss Glover is well known in society.

woman. Gaze with your minds eye
at the broad side of lead of hay with

have before you such a picture of the
lady as an imprcssionist of the ad-
vanced school would make.
1t happened that every seat in the
car which she entered was occupied,
and for a moment she stood alone in
the aisle, the only passenger who was
not receiving all that the nickel invest
ed at the gate called for.
Two young men who seemed to be
strangers sat near the spot where the
fat lady stood. They looked at her and
then at each other and. without saying
anything, got up. The woman glanced
at the place they had vacated as if
measuring it with her eye and then sat
down, saying:
