circumstances have conspired to help
your cause in this little deal, won't
you?"
"I'll admit nothing of the kind" said
Tommy
"Well, how about those out Of town
buyers who arrived the very day you
had picked out to talk to Mr.. Brook
lane?
"Oh, bosh!" said Tommy You fel-
lows are from the provinces. Why,
say, man, every one of those chaps
has worn one Of my vests at some
time or other, and simply wrote
them to come on and make good"

you gave us about success?' asked
Schmidt.

into a wet spot so hard that he splash
ed a small pool Of liquid refreshment
all over one Of his fifteen dollar vests.

Tommy banged the table so emphat.
ically that the empty glasses danced.
By way of answer both Dunlin and
Schmidt walked TO the cashiers desk,
settled their accounts and went out,
leaving Tommy al the table with his
head thrust forward in a most pro-
found study.
How many drinks did Tommy
have?' asked Dunkiu of Schmidt as
they crossed the street to their office
IT'S not a question Of drink" re-
piled Schmidt, but one Of those cases
where a man succeeds up to certain
point and then goes plumb to pieces
AT any rate" observed Dunkin, Its
only a matter Of time with Blfby.
Sooner or later we must find some one
who can Oil his position, and / wish
you would quietly look your depart
ment over for a man that we can put
in training for the place"
Two weeks went by. and not once
did Tommy cross the street with Dun
kin and Schmidt for luncheon TOO
busy" said he when they invited him.
"Cut out the bright young man idea
Of mine" said Dunkin to Schmidt a
few days later. 1T was foolish, and
what's more. Biffby is a positive won
der. There were seven Of our largest
buyers in the Office this morning
seven, mind you, including Bane of
Chicago and Doskin of Boston-and
they were all waiting for Bifby to
come in, when who should show up
but Brooklane himself Well, he did
the honors handsomely and had them
all in his private Office, where they
were telling him how much they
thought of BiGby, and, say, when Bif-
by came in, hanged if they didn't all
try to shake hands with him at once.
That's right and before they left
every man jack Of the crowd gave him
smashing big fall order"
About 3 o'clock that same afternoon
Dunkin saw Binby stop at the door Of
President Brooklane's private office,
and. strange to relate, for once in his
life Tommy hesitated several times
before entering.
Fifteen minutes later everybody in
the outer office was startled to hear
their sedate president burst into roars
Of hearty laughter Peal after peal of
merriment came rolling
over the transom, and few minutes
later Tommy came tumbing through
the doorway.
Hardly FIVE minutes had elapsed
when the president opened the door
and beckoned to his general manager.
Once inside Dunkin had TO wait fully
three minutes before the president
could stop laughing.
"Dunkin," said he at last, "the fun

General Manager Dunkin had tilted

of fact, be deliberately winked at
Schmidt, the buyer, before answering.

DODGE CHARITY PLAN
MAY Be SET ASIDE
Statute May Defeat Testa-
mentary Disposition Of Phi
Ianthropisfs Estate.

NEW YORK, November e6.-The
statutory provision regulating the tesla
mentary disposition Of estates may
operate to defeat requests to charitable
and religious institutions provided for
in the will of Gen. Charles Cleveland
Dodge. we'll known as philanthropist.
He died November 4. His will was
filed here for probate today. 1t leaves
to a corporation, hereafter to be
formed, securities to be devoted to
charity, and expresses the hope that
the trust thus formed will exceed
$250.0O0.
In an affidavit filed with the will
Charles Stuart Dodge, son, calls at
tention to the fact that the securities
named constitute the bulk Of the estate,
exceeding the limit of such requests per-
mitted. Other provisions of the trust
also make it difficult to carry out Gen
DOdge's wishes, the son cites. although
he declares that he has no desire to de-
feat the objects of the will.
1.-THE planning for this trust says the
will, "has occasioned the dear wife and
myself much prayerful. happy thought
for years, and we have sought Gods
guidance in the proposed arrangement,
that 1t may be best protected and used
for His service.
1T is all His own. and We gratefully
commit it to His care and to the care Of
those we have named, that they will act
for Him and for us and find a blessing
from Him in SO doing, and that even
long after we have Passed away some
comfort and help may thus reach some
poor souls whom the Master loves

Women in Astronomy.
m the Cincinnati Times Star

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
The announcement that new star has
Just been discovered by Mrs. Williamina
Fleming of Harvard College observa-
tory but adds to an already remarkable
record made by women in this particular
field Mrs. Fleming is one of the assist
ants at the observatory. and finding stars
seem to be as easy TO her as finding
lost things around the house is to the
average woman. The one she has just
discovered makes ten in all credited 20
her Out of the sixteen new stars found
during the last twenty-five years, women
have found thirteen of them.
An interesting fact in this connection
is that the discoveries have not been
made by Mrs Fleming, Miss KEENAN, and
Miss Leavitt through a tireless appliea-
ton of eyes to the telescopes. Many of
the stars have appeared in photographs
taken of the heavens. The new planets
have been segregated from the others by
Mrs. Fleming and her sister astronomers,
a tribute to their keen eyesight as we'll
as their astronomical acumen.
Astronomy is essentially science call
ing for the greatest exposition of pa
t,ence 1t is apparent that the feminine
astronomer has exercised hers to an I'M
usual degree. If she had not there would
today be fewer new names in the cata-
iogue Of the heavens.

Teaching Street Vendors.
From the Dayton News.

From the Dayton News.
Another educational long felt want has
been filled, or is being filled. according to
an item now going the rounds to the eff
feet that school for street vendors has
been opened-in Boston, of course. Any
one who has had his slumbers disturbed
by the rasping cry of a street vender, or
who has felt the cold chills creep up his
spine and down again at the startling
sQuawk of peddler with load Of prosy
vegetables. will appreciate this educa-
tional venture and wish it well. 1t sees
that one Miss Caroline F. Wenzell pre-
sides over the new school, and that its OBJ
ject is to teach street vendors more
musical way OF calling their wares"
the school is we'll patronized, showing
that the vender does not harass a COM
munity out Of pure delight in deviltry,
but because he can't help it.
the future will be Influenced by musical
talent. The vender who has the most
musical voice aud who has made the
greatest progress in so modulating it as
credulity will be more successful than the
peddler who plays hockey from the new
school Think how a CarusO might sue
ceed and what prices he might obtain
for his wares if he should go through the
streets singing their praises. We have al
ways believed that the taste for Potomac
river shad was created by the musical
voice of the negro peddlers who go
through the streets Of Washington early
in the spring giving a soul-inspiring touch
to their plaintfve ''ro-o-o-o- sh-a-d." And
who has not invested in a peck of the
fruit after hearing musical voice crying
'.ap-po. ap-po-o.les?'' Miss Wenzell has
made no new discovery. She has simply
adapted plan for perfecting peddlers in
an art which they have always under
stood.

Cairo is Egypt's outpost. not really

Therefore the announcement that mo-
tor boat club has been formed al Cairo,
and will hold annual international races,
comes with something very like a shock.
1t seems as though at last the final bar

The very idea of put-put- putting re-

inconsistent with antiquity or tradition.

The Women of Montenegro.
ON the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The status of woman, which hitherto
has differentiated the Montenegrins from
western peoples. is slowly altering. Prince
Nicholas is fully alive to the paramount
Importance Of this. but he has chosen to
teach by example rather than precept.
Elementary schools for both sexes and
the we'll equipped Girls High School at
Cettinje are working silent. change. To
those who know the Montenegrins the
very existence of the latter denotes a
revolution in opinion. But the sovereign
of the Black mountain is first and fore
most a patriot. He cherishes the ideals
of his people and carefully guards against
anything which would run counter to
them Educated in Paris himself, his
children have been brought up in their
own country, and taught to distrust the
pinchbeck limitations of western manners
on their worst side. which are a feature
of the younger states of the nearer east
