Aoronn the Connter.

It is the paraphernalia of life which
changes; human nature remains much
the same. Old stores Of earlier days,
with their assorted goods and local
gossip, have yielded their place In the
busy towns, or have been pushed far
into the rural districts. There were
mo commercial travellers In the old
times, nor bargain sales; but the
woman shopper, with her incOnsequent
ways, was just the same as she Is to.
day, and the smart salesman existed,
too. In proof Of this T. A. Currier
gives two stories Of old shops Of Fitch
burg, Mass, in an article on the bygOne
shopping district or that town.
a lady entered one Of the stores
where hats and caps were kept and
turned over the whole Of the stock.
Nothing seemed to suit her taste.
Have you none of a subdued mouse
color?" she asked, at last.
For a moment the salesman was
staggered, but he recovered his breath
mo, madam" lie replied "but we
have some in enraged rat color"
Another woman, In search Of q Ger
tain kind Of basket, made the sales
man reach down every article Of that
nature on the shelves save two. Then
she said, as she turned away:
Il only came to look for one Of my
friends"
Madam" responded the weary
salesman, "if you have the slightest
idea that your friend Is In either 0f
the other two baskets, I shall be pleas

was stricken with typhoid fever, but,
being unable to rad or write, did not
acquaint the officers Of his regiment

FOR WOOD PRESERVATION.
Efforts Of Uncle sam TO Prevent De-
cay OF Valuable Lumber.

EffOrts of Uncle Sam to Prevent De-
cay OF Valuable Lumber.
Uncle Sam is making careful and
elaborate investigations Of methods Of
preserving wood which are expected to
result in the savings of millions of dol
lars annually by the prevention Of de-
cay. 1t has been determined that coal
tar creosote is a most effective preser-
vative Of timber and number Of ex-
periments are being made along this
line.
Those most directly and materially
interested in the experiments in the
methods Of creosOte treatment are the
railroad companies, the mining inter-
ests of the country and the telephone
companies
All Of these industries expend mill
ions of dollars every year in renewing
timber which IS made useless through
rapid decay. The growing scarcity of
the more durable woods has made it
necessary for the lumber industry to
turn to the less durable timbers. The
economical utilization Of many woods
which are very susceptible to decay
would be out Of the question but FOR
the. possibility of preserving them
through treatment.
Tt has been shown in the experiments
which have been made that the life
of some kinds Of timber can be doubled
or trebled by impregnation with creo-
sote OIL
A representative Of the forest service
is now visiting a number Of the large
eastern cities fin the study OF creosote
oil production and the coal tars which
furnish the raw material for it. The
commercial use Of preservatives will
check the work of the insects and fungi
which destroy the timber.

EnoIing y WOLF.

A boy u years old, the son Of a
pioneer in Montana, observed a wolf
sneaking about one day last January.
He took a sheep skin and spread it
over a low bush in such a way that It
resembled the live animal, and after a
time the wolf made a dash for it.
He detected the fraud at once, and
instead Of galloping away with the
pelt, which would have made a good
dinner for him, he dropped it and
sneaked off with his tail between bis
legs. He realized that he had been
made the victim Of a JOKE and he felt
the same as boy who had been April
fooled.

''The lad was so ignorant" he said,

weed. One morning a woman pointed
to a horse in a field and said:
