WITHOUT TURNING A HAIR.
A Iondoner Calmly Returned Money
Given TO Him by Mistake.

=
A gentleman Of my acquaintance had
a curious experience Of manners and
customs of modern England few
nights ago ut the theater. He had
taken four stalls, but ut the last mo-
ment found two Of his party unable to
come. On his arrival at the theater be
left the two spare tickets at the box Of
fee, the clerk promising to sell them II
he could and send the cash to him
when they were sold. He took his
place and soon afterward was gratiiied
10 see his two surplus seats occupied
The individuals who took them were
attired In evening dress and bore the
outward semblance Of gentlemen My
friend began to look out for the 'poney
which was to come from the box office
Presently a concessionnaire entered,
passed down the row Of seats ana ad-
dressed one Of the two newcomers. My
friend noticed that the commissionnaire
passed something to one of the gentle
men. who put 1t into his pocket with
out word.
A sense Of uncasiness stole over my
friend with regard to the 10 shillings
that was due to him. and as the even
ing was getting on he thought he
would 90 and make an inquiry at tie
box office His suspicious were veri
fed. The clerk had sent in the money
bv commissionnaire. The commission
naire was called from the door and on
seeing my friend at once realized that
he had given the money to the wrong
man. He promptly went back to the
theater. my friend following to see the
fun. The commissionnalre went straight
to the party to whom he had handed
the money and said. Ere. you've got
Is shillings that don't belong to you.
The other replied in an unconcerned
way, ooh, yesw took the money out OF
his pocket and returned 1t to the COM
misslonnaire. HE showed no trace OF
embarrassment" says my friend. "ie
handed back the money, as he had
pocketed it. without turning a hair"
always like to think the best of peo-
pie, and possibly this individual, being
q stranger to music halls, was under
the impression that 1t is the practice or
the proprietors of such establishments
to send a cOmmisSlonnaire around from
time to time to distribute cash bonuses
among the audience.-London Truth.

Jennie June.

The death Of Jennie June Croly has
made less impression on the public
than 1t would had the event occurred
twenty years ago. Mrs. Croly was the
pioneer newspaper woman Of this
country and ever took an interest in
Affairs that were of particular interest
20 her sex. She founded Sorosis and
in many ways aided women in their in
tellectual pursuits. If there is any
gratitude in female hearts, there should
be some expression Of the good she ac-
complshed in a long and active life

BEWARE OF THE STRAP.
A Possible Source of Infection t.
Those who Ride In Street Cars.

A Possible Source of Infection to
Those who Ride In Street Cars.
The connection between the microbe
and the street car strap has frequently
been discussed and at least one recent
instance has proved somewhat distress
ingly that danger is likely to lurk in the
piece Of leather which helps to support
so many women during the rush hours
Of the day. 1t was to protect fresh
pair of white gloves that New YORK
woman, compelled to stand, held her
handkerchief inside the strap while go
ing to- the theater. On her way home
she was again compelled to stand, and
once more the handkerchief came be-
tween her glove and the leather.
Whether it was after that or during
the evening at the theater that she
once thoughtlessly put the handker
chief to her face is a detail that she
does not recall, but two days afterward
pain OIL her lip became so intolerable
that she was compelled to see a doctor,
who found her suffering from incipient
blood poisoning, which 1t was already
too late for him to prevent. The most
that he could do was to watch her care
fully through a long attack of Illness,
which at one time threatened to end
fatally.
He attributed this to some poisonous
substance which had passed to hei
handkerchief from the strap, and that
was his diagnosis the moment he hearc
the story of the ride on the cable car.
She fortunately recovered, and her ply
stefan thinks that the present disfigure-
ment to her face which resulted from
the necessity Of an operation will not
be permanent The case has convinced
this physician. who is man OF consid
cradle experience in surgery, of tie
dangers that lurk in the street car

CELERY coLA.u
one Of the Most Popular Drinks on the
Market-Ineresse over 100 Per Cent
Yearly.

Probably very few people In Birming-
ham realize the extensive business being
done by the J. c. Mayfield Mfg Co., who
ship their celery Cola" Into almost ev-
cry state IN the Union. Mexico, Canada
and Cuba, and is being bottled and sold
in fountains from ocean to ocean and
from the lakes to the gulf.
In conversation with Mr.. II. L. Brit
tain. manager Of the firm the writer OBJ
tained some very interesting facts con-
nected with this industry. The firm COM
menced manufacturing Celery Cola" In
January. 1900 and their success has been
continuous, for today celery Cola" is
one of the most popular drinks on the
market
Mr. Mayheld, who superintends all the
manufacturing, might be called the pion-
eer Cola beverage man, as he has had
fourteen or fifteen years experience in
this line OF work. He was associated with
the late DR.. J. s. Pemberton, of Atlanta,
long before and up to the time of his
DEATH 1t was he who originated the for
mula for Coca Cola and Wine Coca.
With careful study and repeated expert
ments. he has in celery Cola" a drink
that is unexcelled, which is delicious, ex-
hilarating and refreshing without being
harmful or injurious to the system.
The elite of the medical profession
drink and recommend It. as the Ideal
formula, many have stated that the COM
bined medical skill and pharmaceutical
science could not formulate a more sci
entific compound
In speaking of the immense volume of
business done by the company, Mr.. Brit
tain says: "Our Nashville branch alone
bottled over 10000 cases last year and In
nearly all quarters business is increas-
ing over 100 per cent this year"
This Is not to be wondered at, for
Celery Cola" has been made a household
luxury and is served at clubs, Young
Mems Christian Associations and Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union re-
captions. for 1t is high class drink that
appeals to the appetite of all classes, be-
ing sought by the tired and worn out
banker, merchant, bookkeeper, laboring
man and woman and by society people.
