Now Will You Smile2

Mrs. Kendall is nothing if not impul-
sively genial, and the imperturbability
of certain characters has often Curl
.ously irritating effect upon her. She
was shopping one day at certain we'll
known stores, and, having completed
her purchases, took leave of the assist
antSwho had served her with friendly
'fGood morning" There was no reply.
In that hard working damselss busy
career there was no time, probably, for
the minor gentIenessesz of life: Say
good morning and smile!'' exclaimed
Mrs. Kendal, impetuousIy. The girl
stared in mute amazement. "Then l
shall remain. here until you do," said
the great actress in the most persuasive
but yet in the firmest tones. This was
too much for the girl. sGood morn
Ing" she said, and burst out laughing.
From that hour Mrs. KendaFs appear
anee at the store in question was the
signal for an outburst of geniality.-

The singer and the Porter.

M. A. p. tells story of how. once
upon a time Sims Reeves, the famous
tenor. was stranded at country juno
ton, waiting for a train. 1t was cold
and miserable, and the singer was nat
urally not in the best of tempers. While
chewing the cud of disappointment. an
old railway porter. who recognized him
from the published portraits, entered
the waiting-room.
Good evening, Mr.. Sims Reeves" he
said.
Good evening, my man. replied the
vocalist, getting ready the necessary
tip. But the. man sought for informa-
ton rather than fps.
They tell me you earn a heap Of
money" he remarked.
tOhY' murmured Mr.. Reeves.
"And yet" pursued the porter, "you
don't work hard. Not so hard as / do
for Instance. But dessay you earn
p'raps ten times what do-eh?.
"What do you earn?n asked the
singer.
Eighteen shillings a week all the
year round" said the porter.
Sims Reeves opened his chest ..Do

ing a ringing top one. .eThere. nv

1t is pleasant to come across old war

Almost the first time he smelt powder

His next campaign was that In the
Punjab in 1889, and later he fought
through the iH-managed Crimea. Twen-
ty years later he was made command
er-in-chief in India, and was specially
thanked by Parliament for his tact and
energy in the Afghanistan operations.
The old warrior is hale and hearty
and still has an opinion of his own. 1t
is told Of him that dictum Of Lord
Wolseley's was quoted against one Of
his own. Sir Frederick raped his cane
on the floor and shouted:

An Aneciote Somewhat Ont of the

1t Is seldom that horses show their
Intelligence in any striking manner,
but they sometimes do things that
tremely interesting If we could under

gray horse named Douglas and in
every way he was essentially fam
lily horse. He generally knew what
was required of him, and would try
to do it. He was SO gentle that, he
could safely have been driven by
means of two pieces of strong linen
thread, and he was so thoroughly trust
worthy in regard to standing without
hitching, that we left him anywhere
We pleased, entirely by himself, and
were always certain to find him in ex-
actly the spot where he had been left
We had such faith in him in this re
spect that we got into the bad habit,
when We were visiting at house, of
leaving him standing at the door and
thinking no more of him until we came
out. One afternoon my wife and
were making a call at suburban
house, and as usual left Douglas stand

that moment two ladies came In. They
were also paying a visit to the house,

One of them remarked to me that !

not understand this compliment to
Douglas, she explained that when they
reached the house they found my horse

what they should do. the horse turned
his head, looked at them,, and then

SPECULATION HAS Jagged.
Week of Ebbins Strength in Cereal Markets
Bradstreet's Weekly Trade Review.

Bradstreet's says: Speculation has
Jagged, but trade on spring account has
on the whole improved this week.
Southern and Southwestern trade is
opening up satisfactorily. and there are
better reports received even from tile
Northwest as to the outlook, for spring
business. As to retail distribution,
conditions are hardly SO favorable.
Lumber appears to have been active
at the West, and wholesalers have done
more at the East. but the export trade
laes in this line, as in others.
1t has been a week of ebbing strength
in the cereals. Argentina reports dis
play an Intlia rubber consistency, and
this week has been devoted to stretch.
ing estimates of the export surplus
from that country. Northwest wheat
receipts have also been heavy, and the
so-called Wall street interest has been
reported to have been liquidating.
Flour is dull, but the decline of 10 to
90 cents per barrel has tended to help
export business.
The textile situation is not altogeth-
er clear. Cotton has weakened on in
creased stocks at the South.
War, or rather rumors of war, have
been the chief subject of discussion in
the iron and steel trade this weeek,
and to some extent have exerted a de-
pressing effect on sentiment. New
demand at this time, however, is never
very large. snd conditions as a whole
are healthy and even promising. The
labor outlook in lion does not promise
as well.
Wheat. including -four, shipments
for the week were 1886, ,O54 bushels
