A SHOPPERS COMPLAINT.

city was accosted at the railway sta.

chant In her town, who inquired.
why have you quit trading with us,
Mrs. JoneS?'
The reply was not what the merchant
expected. lie knew that Mrs. Jones
for some months past had been going
10 the neighborlng city to buy the
goods she formerly bought OF him. and
he suspected with good reason that she
was even then waiting n train to take
her TO the city on shopping errand
Mrs. Jones, who had known the mer.
chant for years, said:
IL am going to tell you exactly why
do not trade with you any more. II
Is because several OF your clerks seem
to have too many friends around here

remarkable one The great French.
man was firmly convinced that Il.

diluvian times. when the Creator plac.
ed him on earth lie believed that hp
would exist forever. inaSmuch as h,

dramas and poems that had never
found expression.
When the atheists would say TO him.
"The proof that you will not exist IN
the future is that you did not exist IN
the past" Hugo would answer:
"Who told you did not exist in the
past centuries? You will say that T.,
