WASN'T WINE AT ALL
Big AueiIou Sale oi Boiled
 Goods Drew Many BOysrs.

There was the dickens to pay on Grand street yesterday afternoon. One of the saloons In that popular thoroughfare went out Of business q few weeks ago and such things as were on hand when the door was closed were disposed of at public anc- tion yesterday afternoon. An auc- tioneer came up from New Haven to expatiate upon the merits or the choice wines. He was corker, Tor although nobody charges him with misrepresenting the stock, they do aver that the bottles did not contain the kind of stuff they supposed. M. Greenblatt bought all there was on one great shelf. consisting of seven- ty-two bottles corked tight ana marked port wine," and so forth. They were knocked down to MT Greenblatt for $7.50 and old topers who stood around with their teeth watering beheld the string of bot ties with amazement and declared that Greenblatt had got the biggest bargain ever picked up at an auction
 They wanted to know if he intended to open a cafe, but when somebody remarked that the purchase was made as a preliminary to observing the twenty-fifth anniversary of his marriage, then spectators winked a. each other as much as to say Greer blatt is going to invite the whole town and give them big blow out, Greenblatt himself was wreathed in smiles which played all over hts countenance until finally it dawnei upon him that the bottles constained nothing stronger than water. They were like the broken tea cups men toned in Goldsmith's Deserted Vil- lage," "kept for show" and when [ Greenblatt found out the deception he hurried to the office of Attorney Russell and stated the case. Upon inquiry. it developed that the auc- tioneer had said nothing about what 1 the bottles contained, but simply pointed out the shelf they were on and talked about them until he was tired and finally let them go to the highest bidder, who happened to De one of the best known Hebrew resi- dents of Waterbury, He is taking 1t in good part, but it is certain that If he ever bids at an auction of that kind again he will take nip out of each bottle before he parts with his money.

A PREVENTING POINT.
Why the Periods and Comas Show SC
 Black and Deep.

DldCk duO 0VOp.
 Why in anything typewriter you see the periods and comas punched black and deep" said an experienced typewriter, you may know that the work was done by beginner or by one who had not yet done sufficient work to, have acquired perfect touch.
 "The reason for the deep punch ing of the punctuation points Is yer! simple. Naturally enough the be- ginner at typewriting plays upon all the keys with equal force, but as the types attached to the keys present un- equal amounts of printing surface 1t follows that equal force applied to all the keys results in more ar less un- equal printing on the paper.
 For instance certain amount ot force applied to the B key might pro- duce of that type a fair impression on the paper, but the same force applied to period might drive that mere point, clean through the paper. In face 1t is not unusual for beginners on the typewriter to punch holes ir the paper with their periods.
 But as the learner progresses in her art she comes to realize thai some types must be touched more lightly than others and gradually hei periods become less black and deep and with further practice she be comes instinctively automatically to grade her touch on all the letters and signs until at last she is abls to produce typewriting that is noth ing less than artistic in effect, trut and uniform and beautiful.
 "It Is something fine to see, tht good work of the intelligent, sensi itive and truly competent typewriter.

MILLINERs MULTIPLYING
Their Trade Fourteenth Among the Ceilings of Women Breadwinners.


 Millinery ranks fourteenth among the pursuits in which women are engaged as breadwinners. It is a distinctly women's occupation, 94.4 per cent of all milllners in the United States being women.
 Only two occupations have lar ger proportion of women; dressmak- ing, with 97.5 per cent. and house. keeping with 94,7 per cent. Seam stresses are 9l.9 per cent of them women. There four occuptions were the only occupations in which women constitute over nine-tenths of all per sons employed.
 Almost nine-tenths of the women milliners are native whites. In the large cities more than half the mil liners were under 25 years of age. Probably when they exceed that age they marry and If they remain in business 1t Is done in the husband $ name and the census credits him With being a merchant. In 1890 there was one milliner to every 323 women 5 years of age and over. In 1900 one to every 2S5.
 This change is thought to reAec, the advance in the prosperity of the country, since millinery to certain extent Is a luxury, and in family budgets forms an item that probably responds quickly to fluctuations in income. If the manual training schools and technicals institutions continue to run out milliners in the next ten years as they have in the last decade there will be one millinel to every hundred women, and in the not far distant future.

THRIFT OF THE sHoEBLACKs.
Employer Provides for His Men
 Small Banks. Produced Payday.


 There is a bootblack place down town where there are many em- ployes, about a dozen or so. Every pay night when the men line up to get their money the employer pro- duces for each of the young men they are mostly Italian boys-a small bank.
 Ii is just ono of those limited ca pacity banks which hold so much and no more. The employe is ex- pected to put into the bank a part of his wages so that the proprietor ran he sure before his men leave the shop that they have made some prep aration for the future.
 He says he wants to make cer- tain that they will not go out with all their money. which they get af- ter banking hours. because they might happen to get drunk or be robbed.
 As the boss Is man of wealth and tells his employees that is the way he accumulated his money. they are very willing to do as he says.

1t was half past nine when at a bend
IN the road he came upon the over
turned carriage. Here was tangible
evidence that he was on the right
track. He brought his horse TO u
stop and dismounted to examine into
the situation.
The cause OF the accident was obYt
GUS to the simplest mind. He was not
content with determining that, how
ever. So he inspected the carriage
with the minutest care. He was not
lone in discovering the hole made by
Ellen's pistol bah through the seat
and he instantly OWNED that some
one in the carriage had tried to XIII
the driver. The track Of the bullet in
dictated that II the driver had occu-
pied the usual seat he would infallibly
have been hit. In that case there
should be evidence Of the wound IN
the shape of blood on the seat or foot
board. Although he searched care
fully, he could find no blood stains.
There had been no rain. To all IN
TENTS and purposes the carriage had
been undisturbed and he could only
conclude that the driver had in some
way escaped a wound. He thought
hard for awhile and finally decided
that The driver must have had pre-
vious warning and must have %crouchet
dow on the %footboard, driving from
there.
Then he examined the harness. The
traces had been cut and Of course
both horses had disappeared There
was a broken spot in the earth a
the base Of the nearest tree as
some object had been hurled violent
" TO the ground. The bark OF tn
tree was slightly scaled. He knel
down and examined It closely. Yes
there were blood stains on the whit
edges. What had happened was ey.
dent. The breaking wheel had s
abruptly checked the carriage tina
the driver had been thrown v%iolentl
10 the ground and had been knocke
~senseless by striking the tree. IN
driver was ~Strathgate.
The ground was somewhat sort !
the shadow and footprints were ~
cernible in the low spot where u
carriage had fallen. There wei
