he possesses In his treasure house. Ac-
cording to rumor there were more than
10000 a decade ago, and the list has
been growing steadily ever since.
On one occasion he secured some an
Client circus horses, which were so ac-
complished that they could do every.
thing but talk. and for many months
he tried to persuade his friends and
nelghbors to start a hippodrome in or

other occasion he notified party OF ac-

three misflt tombstones at great bar
gain. By cutting out letters they would
be just as good as new, and would cost
only one-quarter the price OF first-hand-

for orders a friend who had become
wearied OF his opportunities said:

subject 1t was agreed when the ques-
ton OF compensation was first agi-
tated that no bills should be submitted,
and the agreement was observed. The

what has been done or what will be
done. All we know Is that an Item of

that at the Paris exposition of 1900
the grand prix d'honneur, the highest

lean exhibitor of this class OF silks.
More raw silk is sold annually in
New York than is consumed In France,
