STORIES OF THE STREET.

Midsummer is pre-eminently the
season OF especial bargains" and the
woman who can stray in to the retail
districts with money and escape un-
scathed is phenomenon. Usually
she emerges from the delirium of rem
nants and mill ends and broken lots
etc., with an arm full of bundles and
a mournfully flattened pocketbook.
1t was last Saturday that a Grand
Forks woman desired to send S. to an
address out of the city, and after the
letter had been written she handed
1t to her daughter, together with a 500
bill and, requesting that she secure a
money order, enclose it in the letter
and mail the same.
That YOU may get that pair of
gloves you asked me for yesterday"
she continued, land any other little
thing you may need. Bring me the
change"
The young woman departed on her
errand, and after she left the house
her mother wondered whether she
might not get reckless and spend Sc
or ~ for nic-nacs. She knew herself
the temptations of the bargain count
ers and the allurments of the shopping
habit. Then other thoughts drove
such thoughts from her mind.
Tea was waiting when the daughter
OF the house returned with a face ra-
Their flushed and her arms full of bun
dies OF various sizes and descriptions.
Gracious" her mother exclaimed.
what have you been doing?"
oh, mamma, I've got such a lot of
bargains: l just couldn't help taking
them"
Then she dropped her load on the
couch and from the palm of her hands
she extracted 80 cents in silver and
handed it to her parent with the re-
mark:
Il brought back your change.

A Bit Wobbly.
William A. Glasgow, jr., interstate
commerce commissions lawyer, said
in Pittbsurg about those far-famed
railway clerks to whom from motives
OF pure friendship small fortunes in
stock were given by disinterested cor
pOratiOns:

powerful organizations taking a sud-
den affection for. poor clerks and Civ.

lars worth of stock. 1t is a beauti-
full story, but 1t wabbles. 1t is strange
ly like the story of the Russian wolves
A traveller described in an inn an adj
venture with wolves upon the steppes.
Ten miles from habitation on bitterly
cold night of snow and wind, his sledge
was set uDOn nv a mack Of wolves oomo
twenty strong.

stopped to devour it.. But they made
short work of that small meal and
were soon ON the sledge again. A sec.

once again they closed in on the sledge
But the traveller with his ready weapon
killed the wolves of one by one and
each kill halted the pack for a meal
and then the tired horses had chance
to put little greater distance between
themselves and their pursuers.
And finally the traveller declared,
only one wolf was left. He was a big
fellow. He came on like the wind. The
traveller whipped up his horses. AL

be seen twinkling feebly through the
snowstorm. One more squirt and

When Pierpont Morgan sailed on the
Celtic to Naples a stop was made at
Ponta Delgada, in the Azores, and
delegation came to call upon the mag

The talk during the reception turn
ed to music and Il lady asked Mr.. Nor
gan If he had ever heard the Gregor-
ian music that is sung in the Sistine
chapel at Rome.

And how did you like it?" the lady
asked. Those chants, you know are

were used in David's time"
Mr.. Morgan smiled.

A singular practice prevails among
some of the railroad men of this city.
The men who adhere to the strange
custom are great believers in luck as

planning the thing yesterday one Of
them said:
I'VE make practice of watching
the numbers on box cars as train IS

in groups of five. Well, these five fig
ures represent poker hand or the
figures on dice. If. for instance, we
see four '2's' or three '2's' and two SIS

Case Of Mistaken Identity.

Oliver Hereford once entered a
doubtful-looking restaurant in small
New York town and ordered lamb
chop. After a long delay the waiter
returned bearing plate upon which
reposed a dab of mashed potatoes and
much overdone chop of microscopic
portions, with a remarkably long and
slender rib attached. This the wait

ried away.

Mrs. Brown had a new servant-a
Swede, Hilda-whom she was training
to wait upon the table properly. The

Mrs. Brown decided to give a little din

Keen Sense Of Humor.
There's nothing like a keen sense
of humor," said Rear Admiral Bueh-
Ter at Atlantic City. I'm woman. in
soldier, in sailor, in clerk sense
Of humor is help and a blessing
through life"
AT the same time even sense Of
humor may exist in excess. I, for my
part, shouldn't care to have SO great
a sense of humor as British soldier
l once heard about"
This soldier was ordered to be
flogged. During the flogging he laugh
ed continually. The lash was laid on
all the harder, but under the rain of
blows the soldier laughed.
What are you laughing about?"
the sergeant finally asked.
Why the soldier chuckled, I'm
the wrong man."

The backache I suffered was at times
almost unbearnble and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast TINT could
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never leftme for seven weeks. About this
time had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
Nothing had helped me until began
taking DIR. Williams Pink Pills, in fact,
had grown worse every day. After

see that they were benefiting me and

Uses Of Masks.

Among the North American Indians
the origin of the use of masks lay"
says a writer, ''in the desire to con-
ceal the emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet in combat, the mask
conceals any expression. whether of
sympathy. fear or other emotion. For
instance. the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his an
tagonist knew 1t would very possibly
insure the defeat OF the one whose
feelings were betrayed to the other"

Then the ladies' tried to be charit-

II anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter Of a century in the use
OF alcoohlic beverages, lie. him stop
to consider, among other things. the
fact that the old custom of New Years
calls and the genteel tippling is nearly
obsolete.
The custom of calling on ones
friends. however, at the beginning of
the new year, is good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time
is the use of well-made Postum in
stead of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has SEN
sible daughter who has set Postum
before her guests as good thing to
drink at Yule Tide, and good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:
