FURR1ER LOST HIS TEMPER.
with the Result That He Found 0ut
Exactly What He Wanted
to Know.

The fur salesman was holding up on
his arm very handsome specimen of
what appeared to be a Russian sable,
says the Washington Star.
''You wouldn't think" he said, shat
that color was indirectly due to loss
of temper, would your"
81 didn't know that the Russian sa BILE
| had bad temper" responded the Gus
toner.
'Your knowledge is,not always to be
relied on" laughed the salesman. This
is not Russian sable skin. 1t is red
fox, and thereby, SO to speak, hangs a
tale"
The customer asked that it be I'M
folded.
I'm New York city," responded the
salesman, ''lives furrier, who, know
ing good deal about the dyeing of seal
skins and other furs, sought for years
and years to find dye that would trans
form a red fox skin into Russian sable,
as far as appearance went. All his eff
forts were nugatory and void, as the
lawyers say, but he would not give up
the search. One day, less than two years
ago, he was busy over Ills dye pots seek
ing the elusive alchemy. He thought
this time he had it sure, but he was
disappointed once more, and am sorry
to say he lost his temper and acted in
most unseemly manner. He held in his
hand bottle with chemical of some
kind in it that be had intended using in
some other dyes that he did know
about, and in hH violence he knocked
the bottle against box and broke its
neck. This made him madden than
ever, and with bad word he hurled
the broken bottle and it's remaining
contents into the disappointing dye
pot. Then he left the place, and when
he came back, much cooler in mind, be-
hold, there was that in the dye pot
which caused his special wonder, and
he began an immediate investigation.
Just what effect the chemical or the
broken bottle had on the dye he could
not tell, but very apparent change
had been effected, and he fastened to
try strip of fur in it. When the fur
was taken out it was no longer red fox.
Neither was it quite Russian sable, but
it was on it's way, and after little ex
perimenting with the unexpected chem
ical he hit upon the right thing and the
secret was his. To-day he is converting
red fox skins into Russian sable fo1
1900 firms in all parts of the world, and
it is needless to say he Is not GETTING
poor at 1t. Russian sable is a beautiful
and expensive fur, but this imitation
is quite as effective, for three or four
years, as the genuine thing, and doesn't
cost anything like as much. Cheaper
furs, that look as well, while they last
as expensive ones, are more satisfactory
anyway to the majority of purchasers
because styles change and people want
something new once in awhile if they
can afford it,"

An Odd Accident.

The following account of a pecu.
liar accident at Parkersburg, w.

"Lewis Fries, a boy Twelve years
of age. while hunting rabbits was

father and another man, and they
chased the rabbit into hole.
While each one was watching one
of the three entrances to the hole
the rabbit came out of one of them
and, hopping upon the gun which
the boy had thrown down on the
ground, struck the trigger with its
legs aud discharged the gun. Both
barrels were emptied into the boys

hurt"
