The Lady and the Salesman.

Let me tell you how I came to see it. I was at a fashionable fur store trying on an ermine stole when an insignificant little woman entered. She wore rather pretty fox boa, but her tailor made fitted shockingly. The aristocratic blond sales man looked her over with scorn when she prayed him in timid accents to show her A huff which would go with her boa Hardly glancing at the fur in question he began to almost throw at her cheap brindled fox muffs.
 The little woman appeared dissatisfied They don't seem to go together she compiained meekly. Don't you think YOU had better look at my boa again and d see if you can't give me better match! Half scornfully, he did so. Then he gave second glance "Where did you get tti, f....o,, ho .1---, -ded sharply. "In

Gov. Orman, of Colorado, is one OF
the best shots in that state and has
collection of trophies won on hunt
ing trips into the Rockies which can
be equaled by but few in this country.
C. Barber, president of the Diamond
Match company, gives much of his for
tune to the town of Barberton, o.,
which he founded in 1891. He is now
about to spend 100000 on it's public
parks.
William C. Whitney will not allow
his great park in the Adirondacks to
be Numbered" in the ordinary way.
Instead he cuts trees of over ten inches
in diameter, leaving the smaller ones
to grow, and thus always has hand
some forest.
Almost everybody on Wall street has
taken vacation this summer but
James R. Keene. He has been in his
office almost every day throughout the
heated term, an unusual thing for him,
and it is said that he has not planned to
indulge in any extra holidays later on.
Mr.. Keene is supposed to have kept at
work unremittingly more in the inter-
est of the market for United States
Steel corporation stocks than for any
other reason.
Most. Rev. Frederick Temple, arch
bishop of Canterbury, who is so years
of age, has been celebrat ting his silver
wedding. He was not married until
he was IS years of age, yet he is an
excellent specimen of Queen Victoria's
favorite type of bishop and happy
family man. His wife, who is the
daughter of a nobleman, is not plat
form woman, but shows live interest
in her husbands faith in active work
and temperance.
