The literary free lance is bred natu-
rally in New York and thrives in its at
mosphere because the market for his
wares is stable and infinitely varied.
The very life of metropolitan publish
ing lies in the search for new men and
variety, Publishers spend great sums
upon the winnowing machinery that
thrashes over what comes to their edi-
tors desks, and NJ editor in the me
tropolis grudges the time necessary to
talk with those who call in person and
have ideas good enough to carry them
past his assistants. Publicly the edito-
rial tribe may lament the many hours
spent yearly in this wfnnowing process.
Yet every experienced editor in New
York has his own story of the stranger,
uncouth, u~npromising, unready Of
speech, who stole In late one afternoon
and seemed to have almost nothing in
him, yet who afterward became the
prolific scribbler or the great D'Auber.

A MONKEYS ROLES.
Defined by Customs Men as a Bird, a
Package and a Dog.

On the travels of a monkey from
Genoa to Heidelberg an amusing farce
might be written. A German gentle
man brought from southwest Africa a
tiny monkey weighing barely a couple
of pounds. From Tanga to Genoa all
went well with the lilliputian animal.
1t was a ~favorite with every one and
travelled free until Genoa was reached.

was no longer an animal; it became a
bird, and as d bird, on which % cents
was charged, it was conveyed to the
Swiss frontier, where at a stroke of the
custom house officers wand 1t was
transformed into a cat at the increased
assessment of $1.56 and borne by train
to Zurich.
On its arrival there it ceased as a
cat to exist and became q mere pack
age, an item of luggage that was con-
veyed to Constance for the nominal
sum of Is cents.
Still as luggage, though metamor-
phosed from a package into a hand
bag, it went on its way to Stuttgart.

STREETS IN A BIG STORE.
The piles of Merchandise Are Num-

bered Like HOuses.
In a large wholesale grocery house in
Kansas City the lanes that intersect
the great piles of merchandise have
been named as streets, and the stacks
of boxes, bags and packages have each
been marked with q number, as the
houses upon city streets are numbered.
The other day a member of the firm
gave the following order to a trucker:
go over to Easy street, get that
bunch of swells and take them to
parlor S."
A stranger in the big store would not
have known what that order meant.
The trucker knew.
All canned goods that swell from the
formation of gases inside are called
'swells'' in the grocery trade. In this
house all "swells' are kept in a room
upstairs called ''parlor S." Easy
street. is q lane that leads down to
''Fairyland," the big room where many
girls work putting up packages.
"Clabber alley is the lane which
passes through the great stacks of
condensed milk. "Corncake lane" goes
through the cornmeal packages and
barrels.
The system of naming the streets
and dividing the different brands Of
goods into numbers facilitates the bust
ness of order filling to the extent that
almost twice the work can be done
now by the same number of order fill
ers that could be done a few years
ago.-Kansas City Star.

Fish is a sign of good omen. In

A Hearty Laugh.

Never lose an opportunity for relax
alton from the stress and strain of
your business or profession. Every
draft of laughter, like an air cushion,
eases you over the jolts and the hard
places on life's highway. Laughter Is
always healthy. 1t tends to bring ev-
cry abnormal condition back to the
normal. 1t Is a panacea for ~heartaches,
for life's bruises. 1T Is a life prolong-
er. People who laugh heartily keep
themselves in physical and mental har-
mony and are likely to live longer than
those who take life too seriously.

Gently, driven rapidly to the Liber-
ty street ferry and so transported
TO the mint at Philadelphia,
where they are to be converted
into gold coin. The total weight
Of the gold was in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 or $4,000 pounds
seven or seven and a half tons.
Its value was about 1000, 900, says
the New York Sun.
This is part of shipment of
$10,000,O0O worth of gold in bars
from this office to the mint in Phil
adelphia within the past four or
five days." said Superintendent
Mason, of the assay Office. I'VE
send no guards with the treasure.
This is a matter for the express
company. We have a contract
with them to carry our coin and
precious metals and they take all
the responsibility from the time
the consignment leaves the door
of the assay Office until it is de-
livered within the doors of the
mint. The gold bars are packed in
boxes averaging somewhere in the
neighborhood of 100000 to a box.
Each gold bar weighs from % to
/ 80 pounds and is worth in the
neighborhood of $4,000"
In the back room of the assay
Office were couple of boxes, on
small hand trucks partially filled
with the gold bars.
BE careful of your fingers, ("
said an attendant as reporter
picked up one of the bars and re-
/ placed it On end by the side of its
mates. You would be surprised
to know how those gold bars will
pinch if you give them a chance to.
Their dead weight is so great in
proportion to their size that their
edges will cut right into the flesh
if you get your fingers in between.
We have TO be very careful in
handling them"
At the United States express
office it was said that three armed
guards accompanied the precious
metal from the time il was re
ceived into the express company's
wagons until it was delivered into
the mint, the guards riding in the
wagons and express car all the
way.

gold coin for the government

armed guards accompanied tbs
treasure all the way across the

York, but relays of guards picket

was destined for the Philippines.
