TAUGHT A LESSON

A certain class of shop keepers try
to force their wares upon passersby.
A traveller determined to teach one
of these a lesson. The offender was
clothing dealer, and had a way of
almost dragging people into his place.
One day the traveller stopped for
moment to examine a coat hanging
in front of the establishment, when
out darted the clothier, who asked:
Won't you try on one of those
coats?"
Il don't know but / will, re-
sponded the traveller. consulting his
watch. I have some time to spare.
Yes"
He went in; but no matter how
often he found his fit, he called for
more coats. Finally. when he had
tried on 80 or more, he looked at his
watch, resumed his own garment. and
walked out, saying as he went:
Good day, old chap. I won't charge
anything for what I've done. 1 be-
lieve in a man who'll oblige another
when he can. If I'm ever this way
again. and you have any more coats
to try on I'll do all can to help YOU"

said. every night and morning since

doctors had feared.

phans, for those who are suffering or
destitute. for those who go out to

The Life Insurance Company of
Virginia has organized an athletic
association, membership 10 which is
limited to men and boys attached TO
the home office of the company in
this city. The association, which was
organized hut recently. already has
membership of about sixty. and it
is expected that over hundred mem
hers will be enrolled within a few
days.
1t Is understood that efforts are
being made to organize an athletic
association among the young women
employed In the home offices, but no
definite steps have been taken as yet.
Application for admittance to the
Richmond Amateur Athletic Fedora
ton was directed by the association
Immediately after organization had
been perfected. and the application
was filed with Secretary Tousey yes

With the material at hand and the

the athletic association just formed
will soon become a factor in amateur
