He Believed the Sign.

with neckties and cravats of glorious
brilliancy. Confidently they announced
In gilt letters, ANY article removed

son walked in and requested to see that
bright pink and green shot with pea
cock blue in the front row" the polite
salesman disarranged the front and
after some considerable trouble brought
out the desired object.
Rather loud, isn't it?' remarked
Smithson.
The affable salesman was In COM

II thought so. You needn't put it

Every well, sir" and the man began
to wrap up the thing of beauty in its
bed of tissue paper. Anything else to-
day, sir?"
"Oh, don't want it," said Smithson,
"only you know you advertise, ANY ar

this hideous thing offends my aesthetic
taste thought I'd ask you to remove
it, that's all. Good day."

An Ant Answer.

The dangers associated with the fish
ing industry on the Newfoundland
banks are many and grave. Foremost
among them is that the dories may be
upset while fishing, which involves the
almost inevitable loss of their occu-
pants. Callous captains, secure them
selves from the necessity of going, fire.
quently order their men out when the
weather does not warrant it, and disas-
trous are the result. One of these bru-
tai shippers was aptly answered last
year by bank man of whose courage
or capacity there was no question.
"Out with you" shouted the captain.
Hurry up there! It's fishing day"
"Oh, no, skipper" replied the dorJ
man. Its too stormy today for boat
to fish,"
Nonsense, man." rejoined the skip
per. IF my old grandmother from
Provincetown was here today, she'd
get her dory out"
"Then, skipper" said the man, IF
her grandson will come out with me
now I'll haul my trawl."
1t is needless to say no dories were
launched from that schooner on that
date.-.Philadelphia Ledger.

Maddened by solitude.

The Canadian northwest is a proba-
tionary haven for wealthy young Eng
glishmen of nomadic instincts. Num-
bers of them annually purchase hunt
ing and camping outfits from the Hud-
son Bay company and strike into the
barren lands to prospect for minerals
or take up land on the prairies. But
most often they return to the civiliza-
tion of the own with nothing but
hard words for the wilderness.
The construction of the Transforming
railroad induced the younger son Of
one wealthy English family to take a
trip into that outlandish district. he
returned to Ottawa a disappointed
man. Its the most desolate country
you can imagine" he said to his
friends. Il have been out prospecting
sometimes for a whole day without
seeing a sign of animal life. Once the
only living thing | came across was q
bird, and 1t was so disguised that it
was trying to knock its brains out
against n tree"
