Mr.. Joseph B. Stewart Has an
Amusing Experience With
Himself.

An amusing INCIDENT occurred iu the
office Of Collector Of Customs Joseph r

day. Some friend had kindly sent the
collector a gallon OF fine oysters. and 10
had the bucket set outside one OF tbe
big windows OF the building. where tn
playing Of the winter winds would keen

Now tho collector happens to reside
In Henrico county. and goes out 10 bf.
nome every night. 4 feeling OF fear
came over him that he might possiblv
forget TO a ke the much-appreciated GIFT
home with him last night. lie asked his
deputies 10 remind him. but the posi-
bilty Of failing TO rave tho oysters fo-
supper sun fingered with him. and he
inaIly thought out a plan which surely
solved tho problem.
me air was crisp and he knew he
would not forget his overcoat. so he
llnhed q large sheet 81 white paper on
this garment which hung upon q rack
in his Office.
Upon this paper he addressed the fol-
lowing communication to himself:
You will recall that a gentleman
sent you q gallon oysters this morn
ing. They are Just outside the WIN
cow Please do not fall TO take them
home with you tonight"
The plan worked admirably. and when
the collector left his Office at tho close
Of business be carried his bucket %
oysters with him..

The retail price Of wagons and bus.

The retail price OF wagons and bug
gies 10 TO be increased 30 per cent this
spring, was the decision reached by
the National Wagon Makers Associa-
ton at q meeting held at Chicago
recently. A scarcity OF The right sort
OF raw material and the car shortage
we're given as reasons for the advance.
The car shortage would hardly seem
good reason for advancing prices. bot
the price OF lumber and iron have adj.
vaneed over 30 per cent, chiefly by the
monopoly enjoyed by the lumber trust
and the steel trust in consequence OF
the tariff protection on their prod ucts.
