1t is thought that the President is
lecturing Admiral Dewey for what he
said about the German navy as com.
pared with ours. Teddy's big man,
but In his most exalted conception of

lecture Dewey, and it don't take any

carefully watched not only i'll the stoIe'

partment knows pretty well the habits
of his sales ladies; knows how much It
costs them to live and how they spend
their evenings. 1t is easy for him TO
get the information not merely through
the store detective, but i'll many other
ways.
The buyer is, as rule, a tolerant
person, who cares only for two things
namely, that the girls deliver tne
goods. c., that they make big
"bookS"-and that they appear respect
able Ii they stay out so late: at nlgh'
that they do not reach the store

Major Pond was a discreet man, but
he occasionally told one celebrity q
good story at the expense of another
One of his favorite stories was of an
American preacher who preached In
England under his management
The sermons attracted greater audi
enccs than either manager or preacher
had expected and at length, one night
as marager and managed sat talking
upon the steps Of a great London
church after the delivery of success
full sermon in neighboring hall, the
dissatisfied preacher struck for higher
wages, and brought such arguments
to bear that the manager felt it neces.
sary to yield
1t was a costly talk for Major Pond,
but he Eeenly enjoyed the humor Of
the situation and took great pleasure
in picuring the great preacher seated
in the moonlight upon the cathedral
step bargaining for higher pay for
preaching The gospel.-New York Sun.

Shelley Liked Bread.

The poet Shelley was very simple in

ii long. solitary rambcs. Bread be-
came his chief sustcnance when his
regimen attained to that auSlcrty
which aitcrward distinguished it, He
could have lived on bread alone with
out rcpining.
DO You know" he said one day to
y friend, with much surprise, that Mr.,
G. does not like brcado Did you cvcf
know 4 person who dislikcd bread /.
His friend explained to him that Mr.. G
probably had no objection to bread ia
moderate quantity at 4 proper time
and with the usual adjuncts and was
only unwilling to dcvour several pounds
OF dry bread at a meal.
Shelley had no such objection; his
pockets were generally well stored with
bread. Sometimes he ate with his
bread the common raiSins which he
bought at small groccrs' shops.
