Cuba, Central and South America. The
possibilities of expanding this trade
are not easily determined. The great.

American Jersey Cattle Club to regis

Cows that are shipped from here to

HER USE OF THE DIRECTORY.
Woman Explains Why She Kept Line
Of People WAITING.

VI VSOPt0 "dl1tn0.
A stylishly dressed and altogether
good looking woman was turning over
the leaves of a directory in a leisurely
manner when an irascible old gentle
man. known to many of his acquaint-
ances as man with very small
stock of patience, entered. He wished
to use the directory, too, possibly to
look up the address of man who
owed him money. He stood about,
now and then casting heavy looks in
the direction of the directory and
coughing suggestively.
a business man in hurry followed.
He wanted to know where Walter
Jones lived. 1t is block or two away,
but he had forgotten the number. He
fell into line.
Then man who sought some city
official but knew nothing of his office
except that it closed in few minutes,
joined the ranks of walters.
Still the woman placidly turned over
leaf after leaf, without any apparent
intention to decide whether the name
she was seeking was Brown, Smith or
Jones.
Finally, when matters were begin
ming to grow very tense, a young man
rushed in. His mission would posi-
lively admit of no delay, so he politely
offered to assist the woman, suggest
ing that his experience might tend to
save time and lessen her labor. When
he asked her what she sought, with
a sweet smile of appreciation, she re.
piled:

that conclusion and quit it.

much, that after abstaining from cot

my mind that coffee was a necessary
evil.
