Queer Use for Old Hats.

''Oh, yes, am always in the market
for second hand derbies and silk hats.
They sell better than anything else"
The old clothes dealer pointed to a
room filed with shocking hats.
There's not half enough there to
meet my demand" he said. IF you
was to bring me carload Of old hats
this morning I'd take 'em all"
you bet there's demand. Espe.
cially among old maids and widows
that live, alone. They buy these hats
and hang a couple on the hall rack.
Then, when a beggar or tramp gets
too rambunctious at the door, they
turn and say:
George is home That's his hat.
George! Oh, George! VIII you come
down here and turn this rascal
away?'
Then the tramp sneaks, thinking
there's a man in the house.
Restaurants, when lney open up
new stands, generally lay in rs or 30
hats. They hang them in the lobby to
make people think business is brisk"

Absent-MInded at earber,s.

you see lot of absent minded men
around barbershop," remarked the
barber with the bristly hair, as he
showed one more little COB of later in
to the customers mouth. "You'd be
surprised at the number of people who
come in here and make preparations to
go to bed" he continued. mo, they
don't take this place for a hotel. 1t
amt that. Here's how it happens: A
man will come in and take of his coat
and collar and Decktie preparatory to
getting shaved or having his hair cut.
Then when he sees himself in the glass
he looks so much like a man about to
retire for the night that about half the
time he will go ahead and wind his
watch. A few of the more absent-mind-
ed ones may start to undo their sus-
penders before they are reminded that
they aren't going to bed at all. But
scores Of them wind their watches. Just
as they do at night. That much of it is
a common occurrence. New York

Build Biggest Engine.

Pennsylvania will be the possessor
soon Of The largest stationary engine
in the world. 1t is now being erected
at the Carnegie Steel Company's plant
at Sharon.
Without foundation plates or fly
wheel. the engine weight $50 tons. Two
of the casting weighed rs tons each,
and to transport them special fat cars
had to be built.
The engines capacity is $4,000 horse
power, yet only one man will be re-
CURED to operate 1t.
AS the engine will be used for op-
Grating the rolling machines it will be
subject to great strain. At the end of
each run It will have to be reversed
quickly and the load will vary from
nothing to its maximum power.-Phil.

LIVING THEM OVER.

IN spite OF late events and songe
With which our lives are crowded.
Where Is the man who e'er forgets
The stunt the nimble cow did,
The tale Of which he listened to
When just little shaver,
And did repeat In childish tone
With happy thrill and quaver?
They're more to US, those old songs are
We listened to while sweeping
Adown the stream of Rockaby
Into the land OF Sleeping
Than any newer. later songs
The sons OF Genius bring US,
Than any songs OF any thing
The grandest singers sing US.
We who have wandered far afield
With sweet Bo Peep a-hunting.
We who have gathered rabbit skins
To wrap UP Baby Bunting,
Have sacred chambers in our souls
For the malt house Jack builded.
And wander there along old ways
The suns OF childhood gilded.
Where Jack the Giant Killer did
His mighty deeds Of daring
At bedtime we drop of our years
And often go a-fartng,
And we are gladder in those ways
By gnomes and giants haunted
Than we have been in all the years
Since we were disenchanted.
We watch the beggars come to town,
And bark the dog a-barking,
The tunes OF Tom the Pipers Son
Full oft reward our barking,
With Mistress Mary quite contrary
We watch cowslips growing,
And the cow with the crumpled horn
Across the fields comes lowing.
Jack climbs the beanstalk as Of old
Soon as his bean is planted,
And chases giants as Of old
Through Vastly halls enchanted;
We ride adown the paths of night
The steed of Mother Goose's-
An. they are fancies sweet and old
That sleepy-time unloosesl
All, heroes OF our baby days!
And tales Of what befell them!
We take our babies on our knees
And sing to them. and tell them
The sweet old tales, TO them all new,
The sweet songs all new to them,
And, hand in hand with them, seek paths
We knew and ramble through them.

WHERE WE LOSE BUSINESS.
Foreigners Like American Goods, but
Not Smashed.

Not Smashed.
1t is an old story that American
merchants are losing annually hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars worth OF
trade with foreign countries because
they pack their goods so carelessly.
But the complaints seem to have little
effect. At any rate they keep on CON-
ing.
An American occupying an import
ant post on a railroad in Colombia
writes to American Industries:
Il have seen lantern globes packed
in barrel with iron bolts and panes
of glass 26 by 80 inch sent without
sufficient layers of straw to prevent
breakage AS an example we received
120 car window glass (panes) of which
but six reached us intact, and this from
the United States.
six steam gauges Qndicators) pack
ed with iron bolts in one end Of the
box reached us utterly damned to
pieces. Pianos are rolled over and
on to steamboats, and up steep banks
on to steamboats, and up steep marks
in unloading, and not even a shotgun
would prevent the wild Indian steve
dore here from throwing from his
shoulders to the ground box of costly
chinaware or glass vases.
ITO reach Bogota, the capital, some
700 miles from the coast, goods after
their 300 miles of ocean journey have
to pass over a railway at the coast,
then by steamboat, then by another
short railway, another steamboat in
the upper Magdalena river, then an
other railway, and finally upon pack
animals for a two or three days jour
ney and then by another railway. You
may say this would break iron. II
does.
The European merchant or manu-
facturer besides granting long time
credit also packs very securely in his
effort to secure trade in South Ameri-
ca, and SO gains much trade, even
though American goods are considered
greatly superior in most cases."

TEA FOR THREE.

TEA FOR THREE.
Once Bobby Bear and Bubby Beal
and Baby Bear played tea,
They had little tea-set that held
just enough for three;
And Bobby tied on Baby's bib, while
Bubby filed the pot
With just a spoon of tea apiece-and
water boiling hot.
Now Bobby Bear and Bubby Bear
were quite polite and fine;
They never hurried rudely when twas
time to sup or dine.
So Bubby pouring the tea, took care
that Bobby got the most

EQUIP HOUSE WITH
LIGHTS AND PHONE
Quarters, Convenient sand Com
Portable as Possible.

The Island City Boating association
held a meeting at the city hall last
evening and the equipment necessary
for the new boat house was the prin-
cipal topic taken up. A committee
was appointed to arrange for the in
stallation of electric lights and a tele-
phone. This committee was instruct
ed to have these two things in before
the next meeting, a week hence, if
possible. 1t was decided to secure
police powers for the keeper of the
harbor. 1t is thought that such powers
will be necessary if he is to do his
full duty at the boat house.
Another committee was instructed
to look up the possibilities of giving
an excursion on one of the excursion
boats the object being to raise money
to help pay the expense that the club
incurred in building the house at the
harbor.
The boat house will soon be COM
pleted and it promises to be a very
popular place Chairs and benches
will be placed on the spacious porch
for those who wish to sit and watch
the boats.
