a Business. Ep1taph.

Amusing epitaphs are not difficult to
find If one is seeking them. The Che
shire Republican cites most singular
one which may be found on a monu-
nent in eastern Tennessee:
Sacred to the memory Of John Smith,
for twenty years senior partner Of the
firm Of Smith e Jones. now :. j. Jones &:
Co.
The names are not really Smith and
Jones, but they will answer for the
purposes of the story. Il met Jones

me frank explanation Of the tnscrip-
ton
"Smith was bachelor without rela-
tives," he said, "but he knew a tre-
mendous lot Of country people, and II
any Of them happened to see bis grave

SMART SET FRIENDSHIPS.
They Usua1Iy Have a Purpose, So
cIaI. Political or Financial.

Thcx Usually Have a Purpose, So
cIaI, Political or Financial.
There are friends in what is labeled
"thc smart set" whose motto in life
would appear to be, Danish dull care. "
These are the people who give those
cheerful dinners where nobody cares a
rap for precedence. Everybody takes
his affinity in to dinner The host starts
off with the prettiest girl, and the host
css is taken down by some bcardess
boy. 1t is Liberty hall, with nicknames
for all present, abundance Of CHAIR
and stories something more than risky.
They are all great friends, Of course,
and call each other dear things" and
know exactly how much is meant by
that, while they smile sweetly and say
Cat" in connection with most Of them
behind. their backs. Few Of these so
called friendships in society are made
without purpose, either political, so
cial or financial. The peeress wants q
"tp" from the millionaire, either a
Stock Exchange tip or one affecting
coin or copper or whatever his special
line may be. Our mice" friends are
nice in so far s.s they are useful to US.
at the same time, in justice to society,
it ought to be pointed out that no one
is taken In by these interested friend
ships. The people who only make
friends calculating how much they will
benefit thereby are seen through by ev-
eybody and disliked so openly that
only their toadies fail to let them see it

The Finishing Touch.

The small boy with his eyes open Of

than the artist who draws things as
they are not. An illustrator who Is
winning laurels by his fine work main
tains that his most valuable critic is his
son, boy Of twelve.
He knows little about drawing, says
the artist, but he has quick sense for
beauty and keen imagination as well.
Not long ago I had to make drawing
Of 4 street full Of people running to a
fire. I dattercd myself had made 4
lifelike and moving scene and submit

He surveyed it for a moment, hands
in his pockets, head On one side. Then
he said:
"The people are all right but where's
the dos?''
'aThe dog" inquired. "What dog?
SAny dog he said in tone Of pity
for my dullness. "Why, father, don't
you know there's always at least one

was right, and the dog went in.-

features last week are the annual rush
of Easter buying at retail, which is
reported of excellent volume, some
improvement in the reassorting de-
mand, with jobbers at interior markets

still perceptible improvement In the
labor situation growing out Of mutual
concessions. Prices during the month
of March showed exceptional strength,
despite seasonable changes downward
in dairy products, grains and fuel. part
ly counteracted, however. by advances
in livestock and meats. Lumber and
building materials of all kinds have re-
mained in exceptionally good demand
in spite Of numerous strikes. Rail.
