AN UP-TO-DATE AND SUCCESSFUL MER-
CHANT.
Merchant L. E. Dawson, the popu-
lar merchant at North Woodbury., has
lately completed substantial improve
ments in his store interior. The
stairway leading to the second story
has been removed to the rear, and the
exterior has been painted in white.
A bay window will be added to the
front in the corner where the post
Office stood. Mr. Dawson's millinery
department is worth more than pass
ing notice and people from Bethlehem,
Roxbury and Washington can be as
we'll and more economically served
here for their summer headgear than
in Waterbury. Mr. Dawson s stock of
dry goods and groceries is always COM
plete and up-to-date: in fact, no mer-
chant in this section carries larger
stock. All visitors at this store are
assured a kindly reception whether
they trade or not. But those who en-
ter Mr. Dawson's doors are very likely
to take advantage of some of the
tempting bargains offered.

charming a lady as graces Washing
ton society functions, but there is one
little incident in the life of the Mex
lean minister that causes the present
unpleasantness in the relations of him
and his family with the diplomats rep
resenting certain European nations at
Washington.
Senior Azpiros was, at the time of
the Maximilian reign i'm Mexico, judge
advocate of the Mexican army that de-
feated the Austrian pretender. After
the capture of Maximilian it became
the duty of the present Mexican min
lister at Washington to try him. 1t
was at this trial that the pretender
was convicted and sentenced to be
at Queretaro.
Austria never forgave Mexico for
that deed, and the Austrian repre-
sentative at Washington but follows
in the lead of his government when he
refuses to associate with the Mexican
minister in social way. 1t was, how.
ever, Mime. Hengelmuller, wife of the
Austrian minister, who started the
trouble, and she brought to her as
sistance not only her husband, but
Countess de Lichtervelde, wife of the
Belgium minister and her husband as
well. They willingly lent their assist
ance because the wife of Maximiliar
was Belgium princess.
The attempt has, however, resulted
disastrously for those who originated
it, and Senior Azpiros and his wife are
the social heroes of the hour in Wash
ington.

board, and by his efforts assisted
greatly in making the Chicago library
one of the best in this country.
During the past winter he has
made his home in Washington, and
while there made friends in the same
way he had made them at home. His
perfect courtesy and broad culture i'm
presses everyone with whom he comes
in contact, and he is sure to create a
good dimprcssionin in the capital to which
he is accredited. His peculiar train
ing gives him peculiar fitness for an
important place in the diplomatic
service, and his wealth makes To-
maintenance of the position possible,
which is not always the case with a
poorer man, for the salary of Ameri-
can diplomatic representatives is not
always a munificent one, or in any way
in keeping with the social position
which they must maintain.

Mexican Business Methods

A traveller in Mexico was much
amused at the Mexican way of do
ing business. One day he came across
a stand where an old woman was
selling a certain grade of native
made wax matches. She had some
two dozen boxes, and he said he
wuld take them all, but she evident
lv did not understand dealing in d
wholesale way, and would not con-
sent to dispose of more than three
boxes at a time. After walking away
few steps he decided that the op-
portunity might not occur again to
get those matches, so he returned
and bought three more boxes. Thus
he continued to keep marching back
and forth, and every time he passed
the old woman's stand he bought
three more boxes until he had the
whole two dozen. An American in
the same situation would have given
the buyer a discount to take the en-
tire quantity at once.

got all about it. When he remem-
bsrsd it the next day and in a panic
rushed over to the store he found
the gray crepe still there, and
brsathsd again.

brislsly.
Mr.. Phillips had $i1.25 in his hand
and expostulated. "Oh," said the
clerk, indifferently, that sale at rs
cents was only for yesterday. It's
regular dollar crepe, you know"
Mr.. Phillips went home thought
fully, bat cheered up when he gave
the package to his wife. "There you
ars," he said. And you say the
drsssmaker will charge $14 for build
ing the rig. Only $40 for your gown
-how's that, my lady?" He chucked
her playfully under the chin. She
raised angelic eyes upon him.
But, Harry" she said, sweetly,
you've forgotten that there are lin
ings and trimmings and thread, and
oh, lot Of other things to buy
yeti"
Taffeta lining came to nine dollars.
Mr.. Phillips was pale around the
jaws. He bought whalebones and
gave up $3.50 for them and dollar
more for silk and cotton thread. He
| paid for hooks and eyes, binding, and
lot of small things he had no idea
existed. BY This time he would have
bought a steam thrashing machine
had 1t come next on the list, so be-
wildsred was he. Then he read, at
the foot Of his wife's slip: "Five
yards Of lace applique for trimming.
Tell the clerk what it is for and
trust to her"
Mr.. Phillips did. He asked for lace
applique with the touching innocence
of the easy mark, and the clerk saw
hope loom before her. She told him
what he wanted.
Mr.. Phillips gingerly fingered the
miserable little scrap of wiggly lace
which was only $3.50 a yard, and
asked pnthsticully if she didn't think
that II would do. No; oh, dear, no
she didn't! 1t wouldn't do at all!
What he really wanted was this ex
elusive design, just imported, sever
dollars a yard.
He bought it. He had spent $45.5o
in addition to the SIS for the crepe
the day before. And the dressmaker''
bill was still to come. He managed
to drag himself home.
He never knew that the demur'

ohases with q sweet smile and M
