HE GOT THE GOODS.
Business Deal Between Potter Palmer
and A. T. Stewart.


and A. 7. Stewart.
At the time Of the civil war Potter
Palmer was in the dry goods business
in Chicago, and Levi Y. Letter and
Marshall Field were working for him.
Palmer wasn't so well known, but he
had a good reputation in the trade,
and he didn't have TO introduce him
self when he called on old A. T. Stew
art to buy some goods. After some
dickering they agreed upon the price,
and Palmer calmly said that he would
take about 100000 worth. 1t was
little larger bill than Stewart exactly
cared to sell young Palmer on credit,
but he concluded to make the deal and
told him to come in the next morning
and arrange some final details. That
night some big war news came, and 1t
didn't require any declaration by the
government to inform every dry goods
man In the country that the price Of
goods would take big squirt up.
Stewart recognized 1t as soon as he
had the news, and he Immediately
thought of Palmer. He also thought

bought Of him. 1t didn't particularly
tickle Stewart, that thought didn't.
But 1t required only few scratches Of
his red head to fix things to his salts
faction. He would simply tell Palmer
that he was sorry, but that he didn't
feel that he could sell such q big bill
on credit, and as he knew that Palmer
couldn't raise the cash Immediately,
why, that would end 1t, and the sale
would be or. Well. young Palmer
called early, and Stewart greeted him
In his very abruptest manner, telling
him how sorry he was, etc., but really
he didn't think 1t wise business to ex-
tend credit for such an amount.
Just how much does the bill come
tor" said young Palmer, seemingly sor-
rowful-like.
"Just $4,000" Stewart replied, and
then he straightway gulped for breath
as young Palmer drew an immense
pocketbOok from his inside vest pocket
and, opening it, counted out 10 thou
sand dollar bills and, laying them
quietly on Stewards desk, said: "If
you. viii kindly count them and give
me a receipt III be obliged, as must

goods soon as you can. and when

IennySons Love for BIRDS.
Alfred Tennyson was all his life a
great lover Of the woods and fields.
Trees, birds and flowers were bis ey-
eryday companions. and he faithfully
studied the habits Of Dame Natures
English nurslings. The lark. the night
ingale. the owl and the linnet were his
favorite birds. He was also greatly In
terested In the sea birds. the peregrins
falcons. the cOvm0rants. seagulls. ETC..
and In the long legged sea birds, the
visitors to marsh,s aud pools. He
thought the. eiIrtew. Uf which he has
written In "1ho,sSley Hail." very no.
bic bird aud lOTPd its wild call over the
marshes. There are many references
to birds native to England In his
poems. and all Of them show thor
ough acquaintance with the Individual
characteristics Ut the different species.
At FarringfoTd the poets garden was
the home Of the Wild birds OF the
hedgerows Thu blackhlrd and robin
and the smaller birds fih'ked there In
great numbers. aud 1t was considered
far more Important that they should
feel welcome their than that the fruit
should be permitted to ripen undlsturb-
ed or the garden be kept In proper
order.
Domesticated birds also Tennyson
numbered among bis friends. Brilliant
peacOcks and more sober doves and
pigeons, he loved them all.

the necessary amount. He fell upon
the woods work with unparalleled fe-

task. He lived constantly in the
