Good as a Ticket.

Poultney Bigelow, who knows
Russia well, was describing the
Russian mujhik.
The mujhik is naive" he said.
Here is a story they tell about
him.
A mujhik of Moscow boarded
the St. Petersburg train and in due
time the conductor came and asked
for his ticket.
I have no ticket, said the
mujhik naively.
No ticket cried the .conduc-
tor. Then off you go, scoundrel,
at the very next station
And at the next station, &C
cordingly, the mujhik was put off
with a half dozen thumps in the
ribs.
He waited till another St.
Petersburg train came along. He
boarded this train. too, and at the
next station, with more thumps in
the ribs, he was again put off.
A passenger who alighted at
the same place was interested in
the mujhik and said sympathetic
ally:
Where is it you are going,
my friend?'
To St. Petersburg if my ribs
will stand it !"

horse owner of very luxurious
tastes who, wherever he may be,
is satisfied with no less than the

During the racing season in the

friend in humble circumstances to
dine with him at certain very ex-
pensive hosiery
The guest was much impressed
by his surroundings, aud made
frequent inquiriesi touching the
cost Of the various luxuries there

An exchange has the following
good advice 70 offer i'll regard to
the mail order business: An I'M
PIGMENT dealer happened to see a
farmer receiving a wagon from
Sears Roebuck At a railway depot
and forthwith began to chide him.
4 would sell you that wagon as
cheap right here at home and save
you the freight, - said the mer-
chant. Then why didn' you say
so, replied the :armer. I have
taken your home paper for years
and have never seen a word in it
about you selling wagons. Sears
Roebuck sent their advertising out
here from Chicago to get my trade
and they got it. If YOU have any
bargains tell me about them some
times. The farmer had the right
idea. Sears-Roeback get business
by advertising and il the home
merchant desires. to compete with
them he Must meet them OF their
own ground. Don't sit down and
complain about the inroad the
catalogue houses are. making into
your business uu,il you have made
an honest effor. 70 keep business
at home.

A Woman's Privilege.

There is one almost distinctive
feminine characterize, " remarked
the bachelor, a thing that you
rarely see in a man. l refer to the
charming CD quality of indecision.
There is no use talking. the average
woman doesn't know her own
mind. She changes it with the
same facility that she varies her
shirt waists. without half the logic,
either, for she doesn't temper her
changes of mind.to the conditions
around her at ali.
"Oh well, " remarked the girl,
"a woman doesn't have to keep
her mind fixed 1t isn't absolute
ly necessary. as it would be with a
business man, for instance. "
That's just the trouble. She
has never faced the necessity for
prompt and decisive action-ac-
ton that you cannot and must
not change-and she doesn't see
the importance of it. She is per-
fectly oblivious to the trouble and
inconvenience she puts other people
to. Did you ever see the undecid-
ed woman in restaurant? Did you
ever notice how she keeps the
waiter in suspense, changing her
mind every other second, to his
disgust?"-Selccted.
