An Expert In PnwnbrokinG Who Has

In the neighborhoed where pawn
shops abound the soaker fourishes.
The soaker acts as middleman between
the pawnbroler and his customers. He
explains his mission and accounts for
his usefulness thus:
The people down here employ me-"
said he. mot because they are asham-
ed to be seen going into pawnshop
themselves, but because l can get more
for the goods than they can. There's
an art In pawning n coat or ring, Just
the same rs In everything else.
I've known people to go into n
pawnshop with some old article to
pawn and to look the proprietor over
with supercillous air, as If they con-
sidered themselves so far above him
socially that he couldn't touch them
with n 40 foot pole. Naturally. for
sheer spite, the broker offers them only
about half as much as they would get
If they approached him properly. Hav-
ing had wide experience of my own
l know how to avoid such difficulties.
[ am not servile, but l am polite and
respectful. and as those two qualities
touch the most generous chord in the
brokers' bosom | get all | want on the
proffered chattels.
AS recompense for my services
charge my customers 10 per cent com
mission. | have regular customers,
and then, of course, | do many odd
Jobs for occasionals. There are fam
HES down here for whom | pawn the
same things over and over again, one
week after the other. On pay day they
take their things out of soak. Three
days later they put them In again, and
the next pay day they take them out
again. And so 1t goes. month after
month. | canvass the houses Just like
n book agent or corn plaster peddler or
insurance solicitor.
Anything to be pawned today |

And II there ia | take 1t around to

The moment you are lnstinctiyely in
inclined to rub the eyes that moment
cease to use them; also 1t Is time TO
give your eyes u rest when you become
sensible OF an effort to distinguish.
Cold water Is about the safest applica-
ton for in1amed eyes. Never sleep so
that on awakening the eyes shall open
on the light Of n window. Never read
or sew directly in front of the light of
a window, the better light being that
that comes from above or obliquely or
over the left shoulder. Too much light
is an evil, just as Is scant light. 1t Gre

old admiral then told me that he WAS

from the West Indies, but Of that am
not sure md touched ut st. Helena.
The admiral said, 81 am going up to
Longwood TO pay my respects to Napo-
leon and the senior mdshipman comes

the old gentleman, land so | went. We
waited for Napoleon IN an outer room,
and you must imaglnc how eagerly !
expected his entrance. The door was
thrown open at last, and In he came.
He was short and fat and nothing very
attractive but for his eye. My word,
sir, have never seen anything Ike 1t.
After speaking to the admiral he turn
ed to me, md then | understood for the
first time In my life what was tho
