Business Deal Between Potter Palmer

Business Deal between fotter = FAlncr
and A. T. Stewart.
At the time of the civil war Potter

Marshall Field were working for him

had good reputation In the trade.
md he didn't have to Introduce him.

dlckering they agreed upon the price
and Palmer calmly said that he would
take about 100000 worth. II was n
little larger bill than Stewart exactly
cared to sell young Palmer on credit,
but he concluded to make the deal and
and arrange some final details. That
night. some big war news came, and II
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

of the big bill of goods Palmer had

would be Off. Well, young Palmer
called early. and Stewart greeted him
I'm his very abruptest manner, telling
him how sorry he was, etc. but really
he didn't think It wise business to ex.
tend credit for such an amount.
Just how much does the bill come

rowful-like.
"Just $l10.000." Stewart replied. and
then he straightway gulped for breath
as young Palmer drew an immense
pocketbook from his inside vest pocket

quietly on Stewards desk. said: ''If

Water Under Deserts.

Some of the most curious phenomena
Of the world are the underground wa
ter supplies beneath deserts. In the
Rajputana deserts water Is held In
vast quantities In sandstone beds un-
der the scorched surface and is drawn
up from wells sunk into the strata.
Bikaner raises its walls In the midst
Of a weary, almost rainless waste OF
sand and depends on these hidden els
terms for its very existence. Whence
1t comes, where Is the outfall and what
quantity runs under the baked sand
remain q mystery. In one well at
Bikaner 1t has been ascertained that
the water supply Is equal to 10000 gal
Ions an hour, which is held to point to
the conclusion that there is an enor-
nous subterranean flow and that the
snow fed rivers of the Himalayas must
be the source. People In Blkaner say
that pieces of wood dropped into one
well have come up In another. The
idea Of an underground river opens up
a wide range Of possibilities to the I'M
aginatlon.-Times of India.

A Gastronomlo Joy.

OF all the superb victuals which, by
their great variety and unique colloca-
tlon, make Maryland the Eden and
Arcadia Of every man who loves good
eating. the plar.ked shad Is probably
the most powerful and poignant In its
appeal to the senses. The wild duck,
though 1t sets the palate to vibrating
like an aeolian harp, has no thrill for
the eye. 1t is small and unlovely
bird Of dull color and ungraceful
outline. SO, too, the diamond back
terrapln. 1t has no more beauty In
death than plate Of soup. And GER
tain other exquisite delicatessen, for
pll their sweetness, do not soothe the
sense of smell or such are the raw
oyster, the boiled hard crab and the
Magothy river cabbage. But the
planked shad-ah, here we come to a
dellcacy which enchants us alike
through the eyes, the palate and the
nose! AS 1t comes upon the table 1t
has the imperial dignity Of a Charlie
magne. Its noble head moves one to
reverence; the epicycloid curve of its
tall Is like the curl of great comber
upon coral beach. And 1t radlates a
perfume as of Araby.-Baltimore Sun.

Tibetan Penal Code.

The Tibetan penal code Is curious.
Murder is punished with fine vary
ing according to the importance of the
slain. theft by u tine se seven to one
hundred times the value of the article
stolen. Here. again. the fine depends
on the social importance of the person
from whom the theft has been commit
ted. The harborer of thief Is looked
upon as worse criminal than the
thief himself. Ordeals by ti-e and by
boiling water are still used as proofs
of innocence or guilt. exactly as was
the custom in Europe In the middle
ages. And II the lamas never inflict
death they are adopts at torture.

Walkinu,

The Almighty has not freighted the
foot with a single superfluous part
Every inch of every foot is meant for
use. When u man walks in the right
way, speaking literally. the back of the
heel strikes the ground first. Then the
rest of the heel comes down. after
which the outer edge of the foot takes
the bulk of the burden until the for
ward movement shifts the weight to
the ball Of the foot and finally to the
toes. The ideal step is slightly rock
ing motion. At no time should the en-
tire foot be pressed against the ground
Heel to toe is the movement. Try 1t
and see how much farther and more
easily you can walk. It's the Indians
way, and what poor Lo doesn't know
about footwork can go into the discard

Dashjna Into Dancer.

"When l was younger" big Broad
way traffic cop remarked, 81 used to
cuss at everybody who insisted on
dashing across the street in front of a
car or truck. | cuss the act still, but
not the person. Fact is, I've learned
that majority Of people just can't
help It. An approaching vehicle about
to cross their path is like a red rag to
q bull. It's a sort Of challenge, dare.
And the impulse to defeat its purpose
can't be controlled. There isn't any
plan of action. It's a case OF dash
first and think afterward, and some
times, of course, the thinking is done
in hospital.
"Its a sort of disease Of the nerves,
I guess, because the head Of a busi-
ness house will do this fool thing just
as quick as his errand boy will But
the cop and the driver are to blame
whenever there's a miscalculation.' -
