HOW He WON A CUSTOMER.
Merchant on a Side Street Went Out
Of His Way to 0bige in a
Small Thing.

I have often wondered" said a man
who rambles all over town looking for
bargains, according to the Boston Her
ala, how the small merchants i'm the
side streets and out of the retail dis
ulcts manage to make their living. I
know something about Il now.
"A year ago I went into a little store
10 buy an article that cost me y cents
when I finally got it. The first time I
made my want known the merchant
said that he had never kept the article,
although il was In his line He thanked
me for calling his attention to it. He
supposed that would not do me any
good, but he would get IT, for the
chances were that some one else would
ask for it.
Il did not call again for several days
and when l did I went out of my way
ten blocks. He knew me as soon as
entered his store. He said he ordered
the article and expected il any day. He
asked me to leave my address. saying
that he would send the article as soon
as he received &c.
What was the result? 1 have been
going out of my way ever since for any
thing I'm his line just because the mer-
chant had been SO obiiging. We became
very well acquainted and one DAY I told
him how / had become one Of his Gus
toners
Well. he replied. that is the way ]
get my trade. If / didn't try to accom-
modate people who came i'm here l would
have had to close up my place long
ago.

tJuQgC.J
The dignified president Of a weIl-known
and fiourishing New England college. ia
his moments of relaxation. tells the fol-
lowing story at his own expense.
One summer. some years ago. he spent
q vacation Of several weeks at "a farm
house in a Maine town. The next season
he received a letter from his former land
lady, inquiring If lie would like 20 re-.
turn.
In reply ne stated that ne would be
very glad 10 pass another summer vaca-
ton with her. provided some needed
changes were made about the place.
First wrote the college president.
your maid. Mary, is persona non grata
being anything but neat and orderly in
ner ways, and If she is still with you L
trust you viii at least not allow her 10
wait on the table.
Secondly, I would suggest that the
sanitary conditions of your place would
be greatly improved Of the pigsty were
moved back q few rods farther from the
house or done away with altogether.
II viii wait until 7 hear from you be-
fore deciding about coming"
The somewhat particular college presi-
dent was reassured By the receipt of the
following reply.
Mary has went. We haint had no
hogs on the place since you were here
last"

SECTIONAL INTEREST
IN BIG STAKES

New York. July 12.-Great sectional in
terest has been aroused over the two
biggest stakes left for the summer racing
on the local tracks BY the appearance
or exceptionally strong western, south
ern and Canadian cOnteuders. Especially
is this true in the $1,000 Lawrence real
izatiOn stakes. to be run at Sheepshead
Bay tomorrow, and which will close the
season there. Besides the favorite Hid
retn and Keene entries, the public will
see the winners Of the Latonia and Ca
madam Derbies lined up for the start
These four entries have ELECTED much
comment and among sporting men their
support seems TO be sectional accord
ing to the part of the country from which
their supporters come. The same horses
are scheduled to meet again in the En-
pire City handicap at Yonkers, and these
two races, representing, as they do. va
rious localities and different breeding
conditions. are considered as having a
beneficial effect on the racing situation
in the east.

He WAS A HIGH LIFE DOG.

He was an ordinary looking dog lop-

occasionally as any dog would do on

car some distance ahead looked back

In the side street were two dogs, that

stranger dog shifted at the other con-
temptuously and was apparently hostile
Tt looked for a moment or so as if war
was impending. The auto dog wasn't

San Francisco. July 12-When shown
the dispatch from Ely, New. that Sam
Langford refused to sign articles for a
fight with Stanley Ketchel at Ely on La
Dor day for only 5000 of the S25 900 purse.
Wtllus Britt, manager for KetcheI, stated
tonight that ketchei would not fight for
a cent less.
IF Langford wants bigger end Of the
purse, and personally I think he ought
to have more, it is up to Tex Hall. the
Nevada promoter. Ketchell Will not fight
TO give LangfOrd more than $500. we
have no objection"
Britt said that he felt confident Hall
meant business, but if the plan to fight in
Nevada fell through, KetChel would con-
slider the offer of $4,000 made by James
Coffroth to meet Langford in San Fran
cisco.
