seoNE TO The DEVIL
London Inn Responsible for Origin Of
-T Common Saying.

The old inns of England have been
responsible for the origin Of many
common sayings. An instance Of this
is the proverbial phrase He has
gone to the devil" On Fleet street,
London, near Temple Bar. was once a
tavern which was known by the strict
ly old-fashioned name, THE Devil and
Saint Dunstan." II was famous for its
good dinners and excellent wines, and
received a large patronage from the
lawyers of Temple Bar.
1t was familiarly known as "The
Devil" and when a lawyer left his
office to go there he usually left no.
tice on his door, "Gone to the Devil"
There were some who patronized the
tavern to the neglect of their business,
and the notice was so regularly exhib-
tied on their doors that it finally came
to be used to characterize the man
who was losing his grip and going to
destruction.-The Sunday Magazine.

New fn Him

The leading lady of a road company
playing in one of the smaller cities in
Ohio concluded that she would press
some of her lace collars one morning.
She accordingly rang the bell, and
when the hall boy appeared said:
Bring me up hot iron"
In course of time he returned empty
handed, and when the lady answered
his knock he said:
Il couldn't get it for you, lady"
"And why not?" she asked, mysti-
fed.
"The bartender said he didn't know
how to mix it"

Mr.. JOHNSON NOT TO BLAME.
Good Old Lady Understood How the
Mistake Occurred.

There is a good old lady who cannot
resist speaking well of all her ac-
quaintances.
On Thanksgiving day she told the
colored man who did chores about the
place that he might go into the barn
yard and help himself to Il chicken.
The man obeyed with alacrity and was
most profuse in his thanks.
In the course of a few days the
lady's husband informed her that on
Thanksgiving day neighbors had seen
Mr.. Johnson seize two choice hens
from the coop.
Il did tell him to take one," con-
fessed the lady regretfully, but, you
know, dear, how intensely Mr.. John.
son celebrates the holidays. Why. he
simply cannot help seeing things dou-

One country merchant writes the
Home Trade league as follows:
Since / have adopted the city idea
of advertising new goods
with prices, and at the same time
making known what l desire to dis
pose of at or about cost to make room
for new goods-my sales have not
only increased very largely with regu-
lar customers, but 1 have secured
many new ones. Not only this-in-
stead Of the farmers wives spending
from half to an hour and half look
Ing about the store to see what there
Is in stock they may want and taking
the clerks time who otherwise would
have chance to sell goods to several
other customers, they come in and
ask for the very articles they have
seen advertised and which they have
already decided they do want from
seeing the advertisement in this week
ly paper, and the result is have been
able to dispense with one of my clerks
to whom was paying $500 per year."
This merchant further says that
this saving of clerk hire expended in
this same kind of advertising during
the year will, he is confident, increase
his trade so per cent. and that he can
already name 2S customers who but
very recently have been buying their
goods almost entirely from Chicago
catalogue houses.
This experience without doubt can
be duplicated by thousands of other
men in business throughout the coun-
try. 1t is to be feared that the aver
age merchant in the smaller towns has
allowed himself to get into rut, and
1t is one from which he must swiftly
emerge if he has any desire to stay

The Peaceful Joy of the River.

An ingenious Spaniard says that
rivers and the inhabitants of the wa

to contemplate and fools to pass by
without consideration" And though

Of the first, yet give me leave to free
myself from the last, by offering to
you short contemplation, first of riv-
ers, and then of fish; concerning
which l doubt not but to give you

very considerable; am sure they have
appeared SO to me, and made many an
hour pass away more pleasantly, as
have sat quietly on flowery bank by
calm river.-Isaac Walton.
