4 POLICEMAN'S DIPLOMACY.
He Was Mild hammered and His Beau.
tifuI Brogue Made an I'M
PRESTON

Most policemen would have come
up and slapped the three roysterers
on the back and said grutIly:
Here, no smoking allowed in this
depot"
But the officer who was on duty
before the ticket window of the Ex-
change street station was a diplomat
and worthy of a wider sphere than
ne will ever have. even as a depot
policeman, says the Buffalo Courier.
There were really four in the par
ty, but there were three of them
who were seeing the other man off.
All of them are exhibit attaches at
the Pan-American exposition, and
the fourth man was leaving for his
home in a far western state. With
his three companions they had start
I'd for the train several hours before
train time, and they had spent most
of the intervening time in drinking
his health. Naturally, they were in
a mood to be little careless of the
depot regulations.
About half an hour before train
time one of them discovered that
there was a later train which their
friend could take and arrive at his
destination just as soon, while the
new arrangement would lengthen the
time they would have to express
their regard for him at sundry bars.
They repaired to the depot to have
his ticket changed
While he was going through this
formality at the ticket Office, they
stood d little way back in the wait
ing room, putting vigorously on
strong cigars. A policeman ap-
preached, but he wasn't gruff at all.
With pleasant smile and strong
Hibernian brogue he remarked:
Its ivident none of we gintlemin
believe in soigns.'
'Why not?" asked one of them.
Because" replied the diplomatic
policeman, there be wan over there
which rades: No smoking allowed in
this waitin'-room.'
Three cigars came out of three
mouths with chorus movement, and
there was no more smoking.

CITY WOOD CLEANERS.
Women and Children Clear Away
Wreckage of Buildings in
Short Order.

One of the picturesque sights of
certain sections of the city is that
of woman bearing bundles or bas-
kets of wood ON their heads. Some
times the dimensions of the bundles
exceed the stature of their purveyors.
In that case it may be concluded that
the journey is toward home, where
the material will be worked up, per-
haps, into kindlings. After certain
days it may appear again in the street,
carefully bestowed in a basket and
heaped high over the edges-two
sticks being run. up from the inside of
the basket to support the pile-and
the whole balanced on the head of an
Italian woman, says the Chicago Trib-
une. The women who collect and ped
die wood-often helped by their chill
dren-are sometimes an annoyance to
wreckers, since it does not always
"come natural" for them to limit
their pickings according to the pre-
scribed restrictions. They make short
shrift. however, of clearing away such
wreckage as is left to their mercies,

Negro Extravaganza,

In some of these negro cabins OF

sewing machines which had been
bought or were being bought, on in
stallments, frequently at a cost of
as much as $50; or snowy frocks for
which the occupants of the cabin had
paid from $12 to $14. On one occa-
sion | went into one of these cabins
for dinner. When | sat down to the
table | noticed that while there were
five of us at the able, there was but
one fork for all of us to use Natur-
ally there was an awkward pause on
my part. In the opposite corner of
the same cabin was an organ for
which these people were paying $50
in monthly install ments. One fork
and $60-organ! In most cases the
sewing machine was not used, the
clocks were so worthless that they
did not keep correct time-and if
they had, in nine cases out of ten
there would have been no one in the
family who could have told the time
of day-while the organ, of course.

SYMBOLS IN A CARPET.
Interpretation of Figures in an AM
Client Persian Product by
by an Expert.

During the shah's last stay in Paris
he paid visit to the Gobelins, where
he showed most appreciative interest
in all that he saw. Before a remark
ably fine Persian carpet, given to the
museum by NJ. Goupil, he remained for
some time, interpreting for himself the
symbolical illusions thickly embroid-
cred upon it, which, however, he de-
clined to translate into French. A few
days since the mystery was cleared up.
There arrived in Paris the manager of
the imperial carpet weaving factory in
Teheran, who stated that he had been
commissioned by the shah to study
the methods of manufacture in use
at the Gobelins. To him the direc-
tor applied for a solution of the le-
gends which had so captivated the
shah. Thereupon the Persian began to
read out a running translation: "a

is; it is in his cabinet and knows his
secrets. 1t is pleasant as Paradise, and

the erect posture, bold step and free
movement of the wood peddlers as
they pace off under their towering
burdens is one of the most interesting
and artistic sights which the streets
afford, and the grace and strength of
the figure thus attained may well be
admired and coveted. The sight itself
is one which will largely disappear

A Queer Trade Drawer.

By very simple means Philadel-

tention to his store than any amount
of placard advertising would have
gained for it. A great Maltese cat
was tied to eight yards of rope and
was fastened in the marble doorway.
1t was a rare instance of a cat hav-
ing its liberty thus restricted, and
throughout each afternoon crowds of
persons focked about the door. The
Drawer among them did puss the hom-

of his troubles, calm and uncomplain-

conscience. Business men are not
supposed to have such ppurtenances.
Often it is called Indigestion, but Col.
Everard Newsome did not mistake it
silent.
This morning several friends had
been in, talking of their summer out
ings and business at one and the same
time. One went east because his wife
must have sea-bathing, and one went
north because his old father had hay
fever in August. Country houses were
open and everyone preparing for

dacl1 camps. But the scar on the colo
nel's conscience was more in evidence
than usual. 1t was almost an open
wound of late, for he could not forget
the past.
While he idly figured on a scrap of
paper, alone in his office, the screen
door of the bank was pushed open and
a young girl walked in. She had the
air of never having been in such a
place before, but of lacking no cour-
age. Her dress was plain enough, a
spotless white muslin, such as young
girl would wear iE a small town on a
festive occasion. A mass of light curls
were tied by white ribbon under a
broad leghorn hat. The face that it
half disclosed was both childlike and
noble, and the cashier, whose window
she looked into with large, calm eyes,
was startled at its instantly-to-b
recognized expression.

departed to see if the Colonel wanted
to be bothered.
"Who did you say it VASE" repeated
the colonel, absently.

but he got no further. A calm young
voice came over his shoulder.

The mulatto stepped obsequiously
aside. The colonel stared into a face
that was the counterpart of his own,
quite as blond and calm.
He rose and came around the corner
of the desk. He actually stammered:
"You-you here?"
She smiled inscrutably, fearlessly.
It was his own smile.
