The souvenir postal fad is growing
until it threatens to tear all the bands
that have hitherto kept Cosmos from
bursting. Mr.. Joseph Goldman. Of New
York declares that his house alone
sells 81, 000, 900 a year in Europe, in
country.
But the souvenir is yet in its in
fancy in this country he added.
Europe has been enjoying the craze
for years, and We are making sow
enir cards for practically every coun-
try on the face of the globe. For in
stance, we make cards bearing scenes
make them for sale in Alaska, because
the lone traveller in some lost canon
hasn't time to stop his reindeer to buy
a postal card-but we put them on sale
in large cities. for the benefit of col
Iections. This breach of the postal
card craze has grown immensely, and
now the country is full of collectors,
ever they can run across a fresh line
and put them by with their other
thousands. Yes, the collecting fad has
taken a firm grip and Is hanging on
with the tendency of q bulldog that

Radne Id the Professfon.

The following story, as told by
friend of F. Hophinson Smith, has
been going the rounds concerning his
earlier days:
Occasionally he used to come to the
restaurant where we ate our care
fully calculated dinners figure tall,
Immediately dressed, and with fine
air. we had long admired him from
a distance, wondering who he was,
and whv a man of such obvious inn
portance should dine in so modest a
place.
zone day after a weeks absence he
came in and sat down at the table
opposite with so grand manner that
our curiosity overcame our courtesy
with a subtle gesture we called
Sadie, the waitress.
" why said she, his name is
well we insisted. what does he
do for a living?'
I'm not sure she replied, but I
think he is a writer fellow. Anyway,
he never seems to have much
money New York Times.

Washington Clerks.

One of the Washington correspond
ents has made the startling discovery
that some of the clerks in the depart
ments at the capital are as industrious
and expert loafers as may be found
anywhere outside of a village livery
stable This, however as discovery
will hardly rank with the finding OF
America or the digging up of the
Kohinoor diamond 1t fact, some peo-
pie not a bit brighter than they look
had long suspected it. There is no
case on record where a clerk in Wash
ington has gone out with a search
warrant looking for work. If it knock
ed at his door he might tell it to call
around next day or If he were in the
mood he might tell it to chase itself.
If the clerk gets around on pay day
and he does=he can't see that there is
anything else for him to do but go
home to vote occasionally. Let US be
reasonable with the clerks. They are
only human; at least we should judge
so from their actions.-ChicagO News.

FROM OTHER PENS
THE POINT OF VIEW.

Since the manager of the Madison
apartment house has made war on the
American womans best friend, the XII
mono, will not some other intrepid
soul arise and do battle with other
follies in woman's dress? Yes, and far
graver follies than that of the kimono
For the kimono, though it may not be
the correct costume for corridor prom
enades, is harmless enough. But could
we say as much for all garments worn
by women? Take, for instance, the
full dress costume, which is the only
correct thing for evening wear. Sup
pose a fair dweIler in the Madison
apartments should come down to an
swer the telephone in such q costume ?
Would the management object? Hard
ly! Such gowns worn about that
building would give tone to the house
and increase the value of the apart
ments. Yet how much more immodest
it appears to q member of the great

NE HELLO qIRL.

We have all felt at times that the
telephone still lacks a great deal to be
a perfect machine, that there is mat
tention, poor connection, needless delay
and sorntimes almost impudence in
the telephone service. but how few
ever feel that it is not an automatic
that they are using, that the voice they
hear answering their impatience is
not part of the machine, that there is
a personal equation to be considered
a woman away off somewhere in the
unidentified central" who has feelings
and self-respect, just as other women
have; a woman who will recognize a
cross tone just as quickly as if she
were visibly present. and a woman
entitled to respectful treatment, just
as much as if she were in her own
home. The fact that you can stand
miles away and talk into her ear does
not detract from her right to the kind
word and civil treatment.-Jersey City
