which in the meantime had been the
abode of several hornets.
He entered the pulpit and began

view says:
Spring buying in wholesale lines is
becoming more active, money is easier
and collections are genarally good. The
dry goods situation is exceptional, with
current business of good proportions,
and some houses report that sales for
January of this year were as large as
for the first two months of 1905.
Clothing manufacturers are well sup
piled with orders, and cancellations are
few; collections are good and the higher
price of garments has not apparently les
sened the demand. The advance in boots
and shoes has apparently stimulated
buying, sales for the week being very
satisfactory, and collections are UP to
the standard The season in hats and
caps has not yet reached its fullest
activity, though orders in hand are OF
fair proportions and the outlook appears
bright
SALES of leaf tobacco are light, owing
to the disposition of manufacturers to
hold back orders in the hope of lower
prices. Prices of lumber have advanced
10 per cent, with a strong demand for
the better grades, and collections prompt.
The furniture outlook is not so good,
collections being unsatisfactory and or
ders light, though prices are tending up
ward. Dealers in machinery and sup
plies are fairly busy and collections are
quite good"

Put His Foot in 1t.

J. Nota McQill, ex-register of wills
for the District of Columbia, and now
professor of patent law at Georgetown
university, lost hat, point to
joke, and goodly amount of temper
yesterday This is how it came to
pass:
Mr.. McGill was walking from the
patent Office up G. Street to his own
office, when he came face to face with
nor'wester.
Mr.. McGill is not of the excitable
kind, but when that nor'wester struck
him he lost his head-or rather his
hat.
"Hey, there" cried the ex-register,
stop that brand new hat of mine!
Won't some one stop it?"
There was something in the profess
sor's voice that appealed to a dapper
looking stranger, who made a lunge
at the head gear, but could do no
better than put his feet through it.
Consequently the brim was the only
part recognizable after the fatality.
well, you certainly have put your
foot in it," shouted Mr. McGill.
"Beg pardon, what did you say?"
asked the dude.
II say you've put your foot in it,"
"By Jove, say not so, old chap"
"Say not SO yourself growled the
professor, you surely have fixed my
hat up all right"
81 am awfully sorry-weally," con-
fessed the dude. LET me ave it
mended.''
