Old Sarah Cohen's Unique Business
Proves Profitable.

old Sarah COhen's Unique Business
Proves Profitable.
In a little house just off Hester street
dwells an old woman who carries on a
most peculiar trade. She is Sarah
Cohen, or "Old SAL" as she is more
Familiarity called, and east side resi-
dents know her we'll, and most of them
patrOnlse her. On the window pane OF
her little shop is a sign, which reads:
Buttons Sold Inside. Any Button
Matched from One Cent to a Nickel
Her stock in trade is stored up in
thousands Of buttons in little heaps
pearl, glass, bone, jet, shell, brass,
cloth, silk, horn, and every other va
riety of button made. It is said the
old woman's business is profitable, and
that h has managed to save about
$4,000 out of her curious occupation.
You see," she said to me, cit often
is the case that a woman BUYS onlv
enough buttons for a dress, and then.
when she loses one, it is difficult to get
it matched at a notion store. Those
who know me come along here, and I
can always do it from my stock. I
have my regular customers, for most
storekeepcrs around here know me and
SEM their customers to me when they
are unable to suit them, and they sell
dom go away without the very thing
they are after? Where do / get them
from? Many come from junk shops.
where on the rags sold are buttons.
All the rag dealers know l pay a fair
price for buttons, and they save them
until they have a sufficient quantity
and then they come to me. Another
way l obtain them is by visiting the
dressmakers, who often have buttons
left over, and their customers seldom
ask for them. These l can buy up very
cheap. Although my little board out
side says that the highest price I
charge is 5 cents, my better class GUS
toners do not hesitate to offer me a
quarter, or even so cents, for a button
that they have lost, in order to make
their garments look neat and COM

Then Namarah would weep, and i'm

saying that what he pictured as her
happiness looked to her like the very
face Of death, SO greatly did she dread
1t. Whereat her father Jephthah would

with her n day, when the lord and
master of her heart should come.
He is here" she would say, finging
her white arms about him, there will
be never any other" And Jephthah
would smile again and say only the
one word: Wait" whereat Namarah
would grow almost angry, and tears of
vexation would spring into her eyes.
Then would Jephthah rouse himself
and stand upright on his strong legs
and lift her in his mighty arms as
though she were still the little maid
he used to toss and dandle, and hold
her high above his head, and refuse to
let her down from this unseemly alti-

laughter had blown away her tears.

A Summer Millionaire

Jimmy Baker Is a journeyman bar
Der. Last July he got on a good
thing at a racetrack and won $12O
He Immediately resigned his position
and started to take a two weeks va
cation. He had heard some OF the
patrons of the downtown barber shop
where he worked talking about Ocon'
omowoc al being a dead swell place
and he decided that it would just
about suit him so long as his $12O
held out.
He took a fine room at the swell.
est" hotel and started in to try to en-.
Joy himself. But nobody at the hotel
seemed to be anxious to make his &C
Quaintance. Even the pretty young
woman In blue and pink Powered shirt
waist who acted as telegraph opera
tor In the hotel lobby was exceedingly
chilly. In the big hotel dining room
the summer girls and their guardian
nammas never even seemed to see
Jimmy, though he eve came in un-
til everybody else was seated and was
always careful to comb his hair into
elaborate semi-circles on either side
his forehead.
Four or five days had gone by in
this way and Jimmy was almost ready
to declare that society life was all a
snare and a delusion.
Meanwhile the small blond young
woman who sent and received mes
sages had unconsciously twined her
self tightly into the tendrils Of jim
my's helpless affection. Time after time
Jimmy sauntered airly up to her desk
and made some playful remark which
was intended to be fascinating. But
1t was no use. Miss Maginn always
looked up with a sober and business
like air and inquired whether he was
expecting a message.
That finally gave him an idea. He
had never received but two messages
by telegraph in his life, but there
seemed to be no reason why he should
not get a few. He sat down and
wrote a long letter to one of the boys
IN the barber shop at Chicago.
That evening Jimmy spent in pain
fully watching a dance in the hotel
dining room, watching with envious
eyes a young man in a white yachting
suit as he whirled the beauteous Miss
Mag1nn round the long room in a
waltz. And Miss Maginn never even
glanced In his direction.
Dear me! What a change there
was In the morning. When Jimmy
came down into the lobby on his way
to breakfast pretty Miss Maginn, look
Ing as fresh as a daisy before the sun
had slipped the dew from it's petals.
looked up at him with a smile.
Mr.. Baker," she called to him, 1--WE
a message here for you. l fancy it's
an important one"
Jimmy took the yellow envelope with
what he tried to make a bored expres.
sion. He leaned carelessly against
the ornamental railing about Miss Ma
ginn's desk, tore open the envelope.
unfolded the message, and read il,

For lust a wink of the eye Jimmy
was knocked out. But he was game

promptly. "Im not a dancing man,
Miss Maginn."
You really ought to learn, Mr..
Baker. Why. it's perfectly lovely.
There's to be a dance over at the Mer.
rift house this evening, and if you
like III give you a lesson. I'm sure
you'd learn quickly"
An! the power of a few feet of
State street frontage!
III be delighted" said Jimmy. "I1l
call for you at 8 o'clock. Shall |
dress?"
Jimmy started to walk away from
the desk when Miss Maginn called
him back. That message came col
lect, Mr.. Baker. Shall l put it on
your room bill?"
why, yes" said Jimmy in a lordlv
way. "Or, wait a minute. I'll nav if
now. hate these extras on ones
hotel bills"
He pulled out his diminishing roll
OIL bills and put Miss Maginn to the
trouble OF changing the only twenty
ne mad left. Then he left her in a
most excited and delighted state of
mind. On his way across the hotel
lobby he pulled one hand out of his
coat pocket. With it came the te,e.
sraph message and dropped unnoticed
on the floor.
he was at the breakfast table when
the mother OF the three charming
young women who sat at the next
table came hurrying up.
rs this Mr.. Baker?"
Yes? Well, | found a elegram

Jimmy decided as he accented tho

ouiided better than they knew. After

pretty girls Jimmy accepted an inyi.

art very noble, and life to thee Is even
also DEAR"
Life would be dear to me no longer

look upon thy face to tell thee that l
lived and Jephthah, thy father, was
slain"
This time, when he spake the words
"thy father" 1t seemed unto the maid
en- that his voice dwelt upon them by
the space of half a second. The idea
glanced through her agitated mind
like lightning, but afterward she be-
thought herself of it. But now the
young man spake again, and reminded
her Of his errand.
"My lord Jephthah hath sent thee
his blessing through me-" he said, land
he prays thee to be of good cheer. and
to dread no danger for him"
81 cannot choose but dread" the
maiden answered, as she walked be-
side him to the house, and led the way
to where her fathers armor lay.
NAY, but surely" said the young
man, full humbly. thou wilt be a
little comforted because of the promise
| have given thee"
"Ay," said Namarah, it doth COM
fort me much, and l thank thee from
my very heart; but the thought of bat
t1o oyor ~,alyor wa $covohJo o1fhourh
I am a soldiers child. l pray thee,
give my loving greeting to my father,
and tell him I go at once to pray the
God of Israel for his safety"
Maiden, also would be thought Of
in thy prayers" the young man said,
half doubtingly; and she answered:
Il will pray for thee also, soldier.
Tell me thy name"
And he said:
my name is Adina."
Then once more he looked at her,
and again his strange look troubled
goodly figure in it's shining armor
down the streets of Mizpeh, a wonder
got hold upon her that for the first
time at the thought of battle her fears
were not wholly for her father.
Long time she knelt and prayed, her
maidens waiting without; and all her
struggle was to GOV the lost feeling
that her father was her all in all, but
another image rose up, over and yer
again, and would not be forgotten. At
last she gave it up, and murmu'ed,
half aloud:
BLESS him, even the young man
Adina, also, o my God; and bring them
back in safety together"
Before the close of day, the streets
of MiZpeh rang to the gladdening
sound OF the victorious return of troops
from battle. Namarah, high up in her
chamber, watched them with breath
less delight, as she saw the body OF
soldiers coming down the street, and
soon she was able to make out the
majestic figure of her father, at their
head. She was full sure of that, but
still, she bent from her window eager
~, and strained her vision to see more.
Suddenly. her breath was drawn in
pantingly, and once more the rose was
on her cheek. Behind her father she
had recognized the tall figure OF Adina,
and her eyes continually strayed from
n to the other, as the setting sun
FURNISHED the curls of his golden hair
as the young man rode his splendid
horse adown the streets of Mizpeh.
