represents the interests Of j. p. Morgan

Mr. Thomas only daughter was mar
ried last fall, and Mr.. Morgan, in speak
ing to the father Of the event, said that
he had brought over from Europe lit.
tie present for the young lady, which he
would send from New York as soon as
he had returned. A few days later there
came to the Office Of the Philadelphia
banker a medium-sized package, ad-
dressed in Mr.. Morgan's own 'hanlwrit-
ing, tied with common piece of brown
Irvine and wrapped in coarse yellow pa
per which had broken at the corners.
The look of the thing did not speak Of
any contents out of the ordinary, and,
being very busy at the moment of its
arrival, Mr.. Thomas did not open it for
nearly an hour, during which time it
rested unnoticed on corner of his desk.
Then he broke the string, dug down
through lot of paper, and brought to
light q pearl necklace worth anywhere
from $500 to $25OO.
Mr.. Morgan had merely realized that
all article of that value was more safely
sent through the express with neither
seals nor registering to tell of it's worth.

Where Street Bands Come From.

Very few people know how or where
German street bands spring from, but
they may be interested to know that it is
a regular business, carried on by agents

are fairly we'll established on this side

the Black Forest and have little knowl-
edge of brass instruments, and they i'm

kinds of brass instruments in his house
and could turn out his German bands by

many more, we know, who may have
commenced in the same way before they
appeared as full-blown professionals

"A Look and a Half a Look"

While in Florida, travelling the country

squirting sharply in the direction of the
place: oval, 1 reckin hits about look

as l could see and half as far again, pro-

at last it is settled. After Abraham
