From the Philadelphia Evening Telegram
 The easiest way Is the best way when it comes to throwing down book agent, and besides what is the use of breaking good axe when you can do the work with a sweetfu smile?
 The other day a book agent called on a busy man in this city, and instead of be- ing chucked down the elevator shaft. heaved out the window. or pushed over the treetops he was cordially invited to take d squat in leather covered chair.
 Naturally the booksome one was amazed and didn't know whether to ac cept the offer or to keep fist hold on the doorknob. He wasn't accustomed to such nice favors and couldn't be blamed for being afraid that as soon as he at tempted to sit down he would drop through the floor like a paid fireman or fit through the roof like little bird. However, he cast aside his fears, and squatted

 With this he was gone. and as they heard him shout Down. to the elevator boy the busy man leaned back in his chair and gleefully chuekled.

IN MEMORlAM.

Whereas. death has removed from our club one of our most be- . loved members, we are constrained to express our deprivation, grief ' and love.
 . Resolved, That In the death of Mrs A. r. Montague. the Perian club suffers irreparable loss. Her ' gracious manner. her beautiful character, her poise of intellect, en- . deared her individually to every . member. We mourn our loved . friend and sympathetic co-worker. In our philanthropic endeavors, her . charity knew the tenderness of per sonal contact; in our business ses- . sions. her counsel was wise, judi . cious: in our social hours, the charm of her personality made all . to love.
 . Resolved, That the noble life of ' Mrs. Montague shall be held as . worthy of emulation. that our close and fraternal association with her . shall be preserved on memory's . scroll, that we shall cherish her . true womanliness, her breadth of height of purpose, as a benediction unto us, and as d memorial unto . her.
 Resolved, That we say to the be- reaVed husband. daughter and son, that no eulogistic sentence could fully convey our appreciation of . Mrs. Montague-no words so replete as to bear our sympathy, no lang . uage so tender as to couch our af- ' lection, no speech so somber as to express the grief of the Pierian . club. We plead the inadequacy of language when the heart speaks. Resolved, That these resolutions . be recorded on our pages, that . same be furnished The Age-Her- ' aid, the Birmingham News, and ' that a copy be sent to the grief stricken husband. daughter and son. ' In loving remembrance of Mrs. A. . r. Montague.
