II IS morning, and always prompt pay. And you try to take 'em away under my very nose" " Mir. Unterberg, do me the favor" " Morris commenced again conciliatingly. He renewed his clutch on Unterberg's elbow, but the latter shook himself free and strode angrily away. Morris gazed after him, shrugged once or twice and. reSuming his sample case, continued toward the buyers office, with his assistant close at his heels. MT, Fishblatt greeted him in person.
 "Ah. Mir. PerImuttcr," he said, ex- tending q large patronizing hand, glad to see you, even though I'm afraid l cant do much business with you to day. We're somewhat overstocked in our cloak department"
 MT. Fishblatt, don't say thatP' Nor. ris cried. "A busy concern like this ain't never overstocked. Wait, now, Just q moment, and I'll show you our style fOrty-twenty-two, especially in sizes sixteen, seventeen and eighteen" MT. Fishblatt leisurely examined Perlmutters line, and when Morris de parted he had procured record break ing order It had been obtained only after much protest from Mir. Fish blatt and q great deal of anxious per suasion by Morris, so that be felt just ly proud of his achievement
 Well, Mawruss," Abe said ironical ly as his partner re-entered the store, q suppose you got rid of all them for ty-twenty-twos."
 "Why notT Morris murmured.
 "A fine chance" Abe retorted bit terly.
 And all sixteens, seventeens and eighteens," Morris went on calmly; "also them old princess styles and one gross style forty-one-twenty-dve,"
 Abe's lower jaw dropped.
 You struck 1t good, Mawruss. whntT he said. For answer Morris spread out to his partners astonIshed gaze thousand dollar order.
 "Mr. Fishblatt himself gave 1t to me-" Morris said.
 Abe took the paper and read it over twice; then he went to the customers D to J first and second credit box and lit himself a fine cigar. For ten min utes he blew reflective rings at the patent sprinkler and finally gave voice to his thoughts.
 "Alawruss," he said, the Boston Store done always a good business, atnf St8"

YELLOWSTONE HELP"

When the Yellowstone hotel and camp men shipped their seasons help" to the park early in June to be ready for the rush of visitors, the special train that carried them afforded plenty of fun for the cities at which it stopped enroute. l. was a merry crowd that filled the fifteen Pullmans, one that know how to entertain itself exceedingly well. The employes have their own lexicon of descriptions, says the Salt Lake City News, describ- ing the scene at the station. "The terms used to designated different classes of help as follows: Savages
 all of the help in a generic sense; HeaTers-dining room help; Wranglers-horse herders; Barn dogs-help used about the corrals; Swaddies-soldiers in the park; Dudes-alI tourists; Mulligan Dump where the drivers eat. The aes- thetic designation of Biscuit Shoot CTS is applied to the hotel walters v

 "And always pays prompt, ain't it%
 'Thats right" said Morris.
 'grhen why is 1t they never buy nothing but seconds from us in two and three hundred dollar orders, and today they jumped us to a thousandi It looks suspicious anyhow, ain't itT Then 1t was that Morris told of his encounter with Unterberg.
 "Abe, I give you my word," he said "he abused me like pickpocket. He says I'm always stealing his best GUS toners. He just sold 'em a big bill this very morning, and you know, Abe, if Kugel & Fishblatt was at all shaky Philip Unterberg ain't looking for nc orders from them. He gets 1t good last week already from Mengel Bros. & Gunst and he ain't taking no more chances, ain't itT
 You're right, Mawruss," Abe re piled. Philip UI terberg ain't going to get bitten twice. If Philip Unterberc can sell 'em, I guess we can, too; what1 Wy don't you say somedingsT"
 Sure" Morris agreed.
 Inside of ten days the Boston Store, Kugel & Fishblatt, proprietors, receiy- ed the last shipment of the Potash & Perlmutter order.
 One morning, six weeks later, Abe Potash came down early, and proceed ed at once to open the firms mall. First he shuffled the envelopes over, but on none of them could he see the trademark of Kugel & Fishbiatt By the time his partner arrived he had opened every letter. Not one envelope contained the information that he de- sired.
 "Giawruss," he said, "why ain't we got no check from Kugel & Fishblatt yeti Their account is two weeks over due"
 You must have always something to worry about" Morris replied. ''They're all right. I seen Philip Inter berg this morning. He don't look wor- ried. Why, he smiled at me and shook hands like We was lodge brothers"
 "I know" Abe said. That's all right, too; but just the same I like to see q check from them people. l ain't

(Continued from last tssue) bankruptcy. It Is unnecessary, how. evcr to pursue that interesting pro ceeding through ail it's stages, which culminatcd in composition of 10 cents cash and 15 cents promissory notes at eight, ten and twelve months respec- lively.
 Ten days after the confirmation of the composition Morris Perlmutter, laden with d sample case and followed by q smQR boy similarly burdened, passed into the salesmens entrance of the Boston Store, Kagel & Flshblatt, proprletors. He encountered Philip Unterberg on his way out
 Good morning, Mir. Unterbergp" " Morris said pleasantly.
 Philip UntGrberg stopped short and fixed Morris with a terrible glare. Then he turned his face to one side and spNt out on the ground, '"TphoOee," " even as did Shimei of old.
 Morris dropped his sample case and clutched Unterberg by the elbow. Whats the matter, Mir. Unterbergr' he asked. Have We done you some. thing"
 Unterberg choked and at length found speech.
 "Done mo something? A question: he gasped. He waved his hands i'm poteutly. Wait" he shouted-"waiti I fix him yet, that-that scoundrei- Abe Potush!
 Mir. Untcrberg, one moment" Mor. ris protested.
 And you, too," Unterberg went on you too. You try to steal my trade.

Spook-Rt ddct1 Babylon,

In lecture in connection with tho Egypt Exploration fund, on Burial Customs in Mesopotamia and Egypt" Dr. L. w. King said the spirit which animated the Egyptians in their varied and changing practices toward the dead was based on affection and rev erence. but the Babylonian, in the main, was prompted by fear. Ths Babylonians were probably more spook-ridden than any other nation of antiquity, and their magical texts made it clear that the most terrible class of spirits were the ghosts of the dead who for some reason had been unable to enter the underworld. Driven to hunger and thirst, such gtost might roam about and fasten on anyone with whom it had relations in this life. and it would plague him until he performed the rites that could give peace. It was mainly to lay the ghost and prevent it from haunt ing" that the Babylonians were scru- pulous in performing the due burial rites.-London Times.

No ConQr4tuIations,"

When Otto Edward Leopold von Bismarck Schoenhausen was born the embarrassed parents wrote to their friends: Kindly dispense. with con- gratulations." Why? The event hap. pened in Germany, where All Fools day was still significant. But Bis. marck was born to take the sting out of Der Tag. On one thing, however, he remained fool nearly his whole life long-his idolatry of beer. His reply to those opposed to him in this mat ter would probably have been to pro. duce { huge silver jug and fill it with Bavarian beer. That is the head" he would say, "of Field Marshal De-f. finger, conqueror of the Swedes, and ore of my ancestors" This Derfllinger. when a boy, was apprenticed to a tai)W. His master sent him for 8 jug of beer. On his way back he drank up the beer, and in terror en- listed-"with mucf advantage to the Fatherland, as Bismarck pointed out. But beer proved Bismarck's un. doing, and he had to abandon the hab 1t by medical advice.

SmaIl-Caliber Martinets.

All public institutions, I here assert. should have as their employees only people who are courteous, pleasant and kind. One of the greatest hard. ships of poverty is to be obliged to face the autocratic martinets who seem to guard the doorways of all such organizations. There is something de- testable and offensive in the frozen, impatient and often insulting manner of the women and men who occupy lit tie positions of authority like this, and before whom poor working girls-and, I suppose, men-must always go.- From Me, a Book of Remembrance :" in the Century Magazine.
