A professor OF mnemonics had gone
to lecture at or near Canterbury. Aft
er the lecture was finished he had to
wait for his London train. It was a
most comfortless day, and he retired
to an inn for shelter and refreshment.
To pass the time he began to EXHIBIT
his fents Of memory to the yokels In
the inn parlor, and one and all were
thunderstruck except the waiter. There
is always one skeptic In every COM
munion, whether of saints r sinners.

Of one of his most difficult feats the
whistle sounded of the "Only train to

catch it. He caught 1t at the station,
and his reputation caught it In the inn
parlor, for the waiter, coming In with
some ordered refreshments and finding
him gone, pointed to the corner where
he had beer sitting and exclaimed,

NEW YORK.

Irregular weather conditions, with
heavy rainfalls Northwest, Southwest and
South, have given an Uneven appearance
to retail trade reports. Reports from
Wholesale lines and from leading indus
tries are, however, more cheerful. House
trade in fall goods is reported light, but
travelling men are sending in better or

buying.
Reports as to industrial assumptions at
full time are more numerous in cotton
goods and allied textile lines, more than
offsetting reports of ~shut-downs, and there
are more iron furnaces and coke ovens
reported going to work.
Collections still reflect the quiet trade
doing in backward payments. Money is
easy, but the inflow from the country to

US, and the best never was and never will be devised by
those who do not think. Sane methods should never be
abandoned, no matter how quaint they are. They have
stood for many years, and under them the enduring
things of the world have been accomplished.
BY methods sometimes thought too slow our fore
fathers carved out results which stand as landmarks in
the progress Of the race. They were not always swift,
but they intended always to be right. Their Judgment
and example should not be forgotten now. We should
remember that the conspicuous is not always great; that
high places do not always make great men the sound
of water does not always mean the ocean. and the land
sCape may be painted on a husk.
l entertain the firm belief that the problems which
now dishearten us will be decided right. Political ques-
tons may sometimes go by unhceded, but the problems
now confronting us involve the elements of honesty and
fair play. These are moral questions, to be decided by
conscience and education. These two together are not
likely to go astray.

Traits Which arc endIIy Disclosed
by Ones Gait.
There's a conceited man coming
down the Streets" said the girl in the
group on a corner How do I know7
BY his walk. I can tell the chief trait
Of any persons character by watching
him or her walk. For instance, If q
man walks with a heavy lift to his
hips he's sure to be obstinate. If he
sinks down a little on his heels he has
a comfortable attitude toward wife and
the world in general-in fact, he's a bit
lazy. That woman coming down the
street now Is q gossip. Any n could
tell that because Of her mincing, fussy
gait. Indecision is the chief character
istic Of that woman's character across
the street Don't you see how she
swings her foot rather hesitatingly in
the air before she puts it down?
"The man who walks with his knees
leading IS sure to be Of the pious type
the dlsagreeably pious type, I mean.
You see that old codger who is cross
ing the road with his stomach SEEM
ing to lead the rest Of him-weIl, Of
course 1t is evident hat feeding is his
chief delight. When an intelligent
man walks his heads leads. That girl
who sways so is self conscious. Yes,
that girl going down the street has a
pretty walk, gliding and quiet, but
watch out for her; she is ~treacherous
in the extreme.
"The man who puts his feet down
especially solidly is heavy and some
what stupid. That little person cross
ing the road with a quick. clean step
is energy ~personified, but he has the
sort Of energy which has no regard for
the rights or feelings Of others. The
girl coming out OF that store has an
ugly streak In her nature. Don't O
see how she puts her foot down un-
willingly as If she were saying: 4
won't! I won't? I shouldn't advise
any man to marry her.
o course I don't pretend to know
thoroughly a persons character by his
walk. but I do discover his p edom-
