tried to make your purpose clear the
operator telephones, first making sure
that she sufficiently -mispronounces your
name, something like: "A Mr.. So and So
is out here; do you want to see him?'
Abroad the practice is exactly to the
contrary. A most intelligent persons, who

SO advised Senator Johnson, who asked

at a machine on the salesroom floor the
first question they want answered is.
How many cubic feet Ct air does it dis
place."
At least that is the information con-
veyed in a letter from a car importer in
Central America to the general manager
of q motor company in Ohio. They not
only keep the car in the parlor, but they
demand that their cars fit the Central
American drawing room or nc sale. A
portion of the letter. which was in Span
ish, follows:
Among the complete details it is import
ant to know the dimensions. of the cars.
These must be particularly as follows: The
total length from end to end. the total
width from side to side, and the heights Of
the car.
The Importance of this question is due
to the fact that private persons here do
not use garage but put their cars into
the halls of their houses. Therefore II is
necessary to know the sizes OF the cars to
flQa outswhether they could easily enter
E.nW these halls.

Deadwood, S. D., Nov. 21.-Low cost
of gold which has been worrying min
ing companies in the Black Hills re-
gion, has caused the Deadwood Bush

Vessey completed his last term as gov

was known as the United Mercantile
Company. This concern was in oper-
alton for only a short time, when it en-
countered financial difficulties.
A syndicate of 10 men. each of whom
agreed to pay $40, 900 or even $3.50 0
if necessary to saw the concern, was
formed. One of these 10 was o. E.
Cassem, a wealthy retired farmer Of
this city, who already owned 5000
worth of stock in h company.
Frederick G.. Jones, president of the
Schiller Piano Company, Chicago, was
the prime mover of the syndicate. To
him Cassem paid $4,000 in cash, at the
time of the forming of the syndicate
and CAV his note for the balance of

since died, the note passed maturity,
was pre- tented for payment and re-
fused. The Schiller Piano Company,
