"FAKE" ANTIQUE FURNITURE
Old Pieces Picked Up in the Country,
Aged and Sold at Fancy
Prices.

There is such a demand for
antique furniture nowadays that
the demand is far in excess of the
supply. But it is certain, says thu
Chicago Inter Ocean, that the SUP
ply will never be allowed to fail SO
long as the demand exists. OF
course, there is very little genuins
antique furniture to be picked up
and the dealer must either turn
away good customers or else f;,.,,
ricate the furniture. For exam
pie, a man will pick up an anti,iu;
bedstead in a remote country
place which costs him only a do
lar or less, and from it will fash
ion an antique cabinet which
would deceive anyone except q
connoisseur, and quickly find a
purchaser who will be willing to
pay him from $3.50 to $500 for it.
With the aid of sulphuric acid ana
French polish he will make it as
black as ebony, and a few minutes
with a shotgun will riddle it with
worm holes in the most realistic
and artistic manner.
In the same way an old chest of
drawers or wardrobe, the de-
signs of which are not sufficiently
artistic to find a purchaser in tha !;
form, can be converted into cost
ly piece of furniture which has
every appearance of well-pre
served example of sixteenth Oh
seventeenth century work. AnL
likewise a genuine antique can be
converted into q number of pieces.
any one of which will bring IT,:
price which the original. would.
have sold for.
An ingenious way of disposine
of this bogus furniture is to send
it to some remote country cottage
where the custodian, coached for
the purpose, will explaGn to the un-
suspecting purchaser that 1T has
been in the family for centuries .

NOT MEAN; JUST
Native Tells Of Constable Who Calcu-
lated Number Of Miles He Ran
to Attach Chickens,


A Boston surgeon of national
reputation was spending a few
weeks in little hamlet in the
north of Massachusetts. 1t was
before the days of rural free deliy-
cry, and the trip to the post Office
was one of the excitements of the
day. Many of the inhabitants ex-
changed their daily gossip while
waiting for the mail, relates
Youths Companion. The doctor
now delights to repeat the follow
ing pleasant chat which he over
heard:
"You live over at the Four Cor
ners, Bill. What kind of feller
is the new constable? I've heard
he was meaner than a potato
bug"
DWELL, 1 don't know as you'd call
him mean, but he is little mite
prudent, Jim. Knows the value Of
a dollar and amt negligent about
the cents. l suppose some folks
would think he was mean"
els he as mean as Jabez Al
thing?"
"No," answered the other, in
slow deliberation, che amt quite
so mean as Jabez. Now, fer in,
stance, Friday he had to ser:e an
attachment for the new carpenter
on Mrs. Bowles, who wouldn't pay
the carpenter fer building her hen
house. When he got over there he
found she didn't have anything he
could attach except the hens. So
he had to get them all together.
somehow, and he chased each one
around the house about 40 times
before he catehed 'em. l guess he
was at it nearly half the morning
You know he'd driven three miles
to get there, and the law allows SO
many cents per mile as he, has to
| travel.
"Well, when I went by the
house he was figurin and multiply
in and dividin' on the back of q
] shingle, an l says to him: How
dy-do, constable? What are you
calculatin' An he says to me
I'm calculatin' how Ruch mile
age is due me fer chasin' them
hens That's what makes nj
think he amt downright mean
but just prudent"

Sailor Who Crossed Atlantic in 1e-
Foot sloop Tells Of Has-
ardous Trip.

lO Uc CdpSlAcu Wucu SoiAA
sloop across the smallest of ponds
appears to the fresh-water sailor
suliciently perilous. To he upset
in mid-ocean from a 19-foot craft,
with no help near, would appear
certain death. Ludwig Eisen-
baum, however, who has recently
completed a trip across the At
lantic in so small a vessel, speaks
of it, says the New York Herald,
as one of the incidents" of his
journey, and to be regretted chief
ly because he lost his watch and
some Of his supplies.
Eisenbaum is a sailor who be-
lieved that if he went alone across
the ocean he could make money
exhibiting himself in dime muse
ums-a belief which events have
rudely shattered.
One morning when he was well
out to sea and was riding out a
southeasterly gale in comfort,
with the head of his sloop held to
the wind by a heavy drag, or "sea-
anchor" the line to the drag sud
denly parted, and his vessel fell off
into the trough of the sea.
81 knew what was coming then"
he says, ''but could do nothing ex-
cept hold on. AS my boat dipped
into a valley, saw sea topping
over me that looked mile high.
The next moment the boat was
keel up, and I was paving at its
| sides, trying to find a hold.
81 had put 800 pounds of rock
| ballast along the keel, and had
fastened it in place with boards.
That weight, now on top, brought
the boat right side up in hurry,
and climbed ina heavy job with
my sea.boots and oilskins on.
Luckily, l had screwed tight the
cap to my water-tanks, so my. fresh
water was uninjured. But my
watch was gone, and all my pro
visions that were not in cans were
ruineL
| Eisanbaum was 76 days alone at
sea, during which time he spoke
three steamers. From one of them
he secured a, cheap watch. When
he approached Madeira he hois ted
the \ neiican flag. A lookout re
ported to the American consul
that Il r.an-of-war's boat was com,
ing in under sail. The consul sent
tugs to he rescue, and the report
was cHbit-d that an American bat
tlesilip had touhdered somewhere
in that height ,aer .lood.
| The rs days at sea did not prove
lones"me,. says the mariner, and
he found storms no cause of wor
ry, because while riding them or

ed in his hope of profit. and had te
sell his vessel and come home il
