Old War Horses,

These old horses never forget the

One day some years ago, when /

an old ash hauler came along driving
an animal that had once been good

when he heard us and stuck up us

he had once been a cavalry horse ana

that his brand had been worn Off. But

with the call for the galiop, next

"A Wsishty Subject.

Looking toward the holidays, an eX'
cellert business is assured in the pest
grades of goods. 1t was believed by
many last spring that large forms IL
cravats had run their course aEd tn2t
this season would bring 4 return 10
narrower shapes. But the trade ls
ealing now for two and three-quartcr
and three inch four-inhanGs, where
as year ago two and half inches
WAS the standard width. This, too,
in spite of the we'll known fact that
the waistcoat opening is higher TINS
wear than last and that wing collars
are not so extreme II form. The up'
per class tailors agree that walstcoats
are to be higher next spring, and this
will compel return to crayats slightly
narrower, say two and one-half inches.
We have always advocated the large
crayat as more slightly to wear ana
more profitable to SELL aud Intelligent
retailers have been quick TO adopt this
view. Of course, the demand for wide
cravats must be created coincidently
with the demand for wing coilars-the
two are inseparable in their close re-
lationship.-The Haberdasher.

GETTING EVEN.
How a Waiter in a Salt Lake Cafe Played
a Practical Joke,


"When | first ran a cafe in Salt
Lake, fifteen years ago, we didn't have
Japanese dishwashers, and we had TO
take white men who were out of luck
and were willing to do anything said
Angelo Manca. They did not usually
stay long, but some of them might
have stayed longer if the cooks and
walters had not made them the butts
of practical jokes.
"One morning in answer to an al,
big, husky fellow walked in and Of
fered to wash dishes. He might have
been a little bit hungry, and he GER
tainly looked like a 'Hoosier.' | put
him in the kitchen and after the wait.
ers sized him up they went after him.
One Of them walked into the kitchen
sOlemnly with q plate Of leftover cakes,
set them down before the dishWasher
and ordered him to eat them. The
dishwasher was surprised and wanted
to know why. It's rule of the house
that the dishwasher must eat all the
cakes that come back to the kitchen,
the waiter explained. The new dish
washer ate the cakes without further
question.
pretty soon another dish Of cakes
was set down before him and he ate
those also. 1t was so funny that
whenever the supply Of cold cakes
Jagged for while the walters would
call for Il plate of them, carry them
out and leave them little bit, ana
then take them back to the dishwash'
er. Early in the evening the recruit
came out to me and asked for his pay,
saying he was going to quit. | asked
him what the trouble was. He said:
81 hain't no fault to find with the
work, but don't like that rule about
the cakes
"'What do you meanE L asked.
"'Why, that rule that the dishwash-

"a little later the waiter went out.
He was dude. He was making good
money and he spent lot of it for

with one eye nearly closed and big

A mail pouch was brought to the
Meriden, Conn, postofice that had
been run over and badly mUuialed by
the wheels Of a railroad train. Some
Of the mail matter was almost de-

and practically all of the letters de-
livered to the persons to whom they
were addressed.
