Milk Peddler's Trick.

"Of course. in this CITY," said q
Philadelphia milk inspector, 1.-The
milk is pure. but I've been in some
towns where Impure milk dealers have
played some funny lodges on me.
You know. how work? Sneak along
the streets. hold up milkman. and
take a sample right out Of the can?
Well. it has been a common thing
when a milkman has known me by
sight for him to pretend to trip on
seeing me coming. fall headlong and
upset his can of milk all over the
pavement. Yes. that trick worked
the first time. and l wasted lot Of

The late Senator M. S. Quay, of
Pennsylvania, kept all the letters his
constituents wrote to him asking for

Post. He had stacks Of them when
his last great fight for the senate came

eliminating those from people who
were dead and on the back of each
letter wrote: Dear John or Bill:
Do you remember when you wrote me
this letter and do you remember that
did what you asked? l want your
help now In my fight for the senate.
Can l have IT." The politicians In
Pennsylvania say those letters mailed
to the original senders with Quay's re.
quest on the backs of them. had as
much as any one thing to do with
Quay's winning his fight.

FIRST time in 30 years, according to the
New York Times. His relatives were
industrious in showing him the sights,
but 1t was extremely dificult to get
him to express surprise at anything.
He even made disparaging comments,
now and then, upon what he saw, and
drew comparisons favorable to his
own town. One afternoon they at
tended q crowded performance at the

niece, did you ever see such mum.
