TRIED TO euNco CLERGYMAN.
"Panhaudlers" Keep a Idst of Their

"One morning plan came to Inc with
letter written on stamped paper and
signed with the name of a clergyman
of my church in town in Massachu-
setts,' writes Rev. David NJ. Steele, Of
THE Lovers of Cheerful Giyer," in
the Ladies' Home Journal. His story.
told in great embarrassment, was that
he had run away from home. Accord
ing TO the letter his aged mother was
dying with grief, and the appeal Of
his rector was to the man to come
back at once. The minister's check for
eight dollars, drawn on bank in this
same town. was inclosed with which
to pay car far. He was distressed and
was anxious to go, but the difficulty
was he had been in New York only five
days. knew no one, and could not be
Identified at any bank. Would l cash
the check? l told him to come back in
a couple of hours and meantime l tele
graphed inquiries to the Reverend
C. The answer came, DO not know
any such man. When the fellow re-
turned he was arrested, and in his
pocket a neatly kept memorandum
book was found containing the name
OF nearly every clergyman in Chicago,
Cincinnati. Cleveland. Pittsburg and
Philadelphia. This had been his route.
On each page of the book there were
columns. headed. Name. Date. Amount
and Remarks and in these were such
entries as, Reverend R, $500. Got
after an hours work Rev. s., No
good. Can't work Rev. 7, 5000.

through three years. When he had
completed his tour he would probably
either have sold his book to some one
else to use, or he would have changed
his appearance, invented new story,
and approached a second time the peo
pie who were worth it,"

American Firms in London.

The great increase in the number of
American houses in London, either
holding their own offices or being rep
resented, is becoming noticeable. One
can hardly pass through any leading
building in the city without meeting
with the names of American cOmpeti-
tors. The iron and steel trades lead the
way; machinery makers by the score
are to be found; hardware and fancy
goods men are much in evidence; boot
and shoe shops abound, while patent
medicine manufacturers are extremely
to pick out any leading American in
dustry which is not we'll represented
