 Que can't buy .:,sioff clothing fer many years without meeting scnl. queer experiences remarked an "old clothes man" tile other day as he fum pied through tue pockets Of su,t which he had just purchased for 5u cents. "Of co,'Se l don't expect to dnd anything :lot!iing except maybe Eo1ne old letters. RHt II pays to rup through the rorlle,s and feel tile ';n Ing. If 8 man w,o jets his wife sell his castoH clothes oniv kiifw W.i:t got lost i'll the lining ol ,is coat sofue times lie wouldn't feel SO easy about parting w:;h th@,n. i na., sticks in portan! letters lii his i1s:A,p coal r9:h ct, and sonie day Gllt,n h.' wants them tley ire no there lie hunts a,a, fuules arouttii. hl.t tl,e ie,trfs doi.,1 turn up, Then he thinks they Huss have been torn up or burue.i. nnd nt forgets the matier.

If l wanted to Ie info the bi;ickG!lN ing business ] could ua&.. pienty os money. I've fo1aa letters and papers in caston clothing that would make pretty startling reading for some peo- pie. Of course when we get tbe clothes by hunting up the address in tue d. rectury we can locate either the writer or the onc receiving il.
 Il don't tnlllk that, as 8 rule. woluen sell their husbands castoH clothing my mort without going through Ah their rockers Maybe they've got into the .Ah,t of searching them so that it becomes q second nature to theiu. So t i. not in the pockets we find things. tt's In tue lining. where they have found their way gradually
 You know how easy it is for small coins to work their way through hole Tn tl.a iniug of A vest and snu2gls down iu the coruer of the cloth Well, we pick up quite a number Of dimes and n;cke!s ln tAis way Usunny . vest is Il small silver mine. Probably .ne wife of man feelS something lh~re aiad thinks il ix only button or some Sncll thi"x. or m:yhe penny snd she won't i'other in trying |" hsA 1t ont But p<nniSs don't work do"n there nearly as readily as the d!Mes tae
 "iu the same way bill will ke, mix sd sp in the lining of the inside pocket and finally disappear The man prob ably misses . five or ten dollar bil; and thinks he must have lest i. or spent it foolisiiy Tle matter escapes his ,nind, ile sui, is thrown to ons s'ste and su,ue day it is sold to tue 'oln ciothsx man, It doesn't escape us NC 10 through every inch of the li,'ing aud examine the corners and inside carefully. The hills we dnd in th~ course of ' day will often moro than pay us for what we have given for aE of the clothes
 Many men are extravagant in get tinx rid of their castor clothing They have so many that they bacome nua' m nee to them. Sel, them to the trst man who comes along Is the easiest way for them to dispose of thelr use less belonginxs. If the servants don't take them, we get tue pick al then Tor from 50 cents to \ dollar yon get | suit that will when brushed. steam cd. cleaned and pressed easily hr1ns & to S5 The clothes are not worn much, but just soled and Mussed ht' tie. The trousers are stretched hlt'e 10 they will bag at the knees When uged few days st a time. man with plenty of money won't stand thai. He will order his wife or valet to sei' them.
 "rhe greatest amount l ever fonnu in money iu one coat was ten ,i"i.ii' bill. but several times I've found t%" and Ave dollar bills and one dnilar bills hv the score. Once l found ch"ee for S1OO. but as that was no good to ma returned it to the owner and re ceiyed a dollar reward for my honesty The best find, however. was seFesa' years ago, when discovered Dnpea of railroad coupons between the nhshe and inside cloth of one of these IahcS vests. suppose l might have eashea the coupons and received $1ooo for thenl but there was some risk 10 shen a proceeding. So concluded to turn them over to the owner and trust td his generosity He gave me s1oo in h,lls and commended me for my non esty. He had missed the coupons ana had advertised for them. Later ! found that he had offered a reward or s3OO for their return. You can oef was mad then that l didn't get more for returning them.
 "As for important letters. might cay that they come to us in droxes' Generally we read them and cnu,s them fin the fire. It's the best way 1T a man has lost letter which would lncriminate him he doesn't like to nave 1t turn up. It will always worry nm vsIAy~ h.,A T. n E,,os In tho hone that 1L Is
