The order that
woke up a
salesmanager

In the morning mail the
sales manager Of a local man
ufacturing plant found an or
der from a house in the North.
1t was a conditional order. The
! goods must be delivered with
in four daNs.
The sales manager was dis
gruntled because it was a good
sized order and four days de-
livery was out of the ques-
ton.
In the middle Of letter
which he was debating to the
Northern house, expressing
his regrets, the thought came
to him that the Richmond
New York Steamship Line
might offer a solution.
He called me. / told him
the simple facts of two-day
schedule between Richmond
and New York-of our safe
and reliable freight service
and lower rates.
The boat sailed that7night-
and on the boat was the shin
ment to the Northern buyer.
That was but the beginning.
The sales manager saw a big
market for his goods placed
within his reach because OF
quick, safe and sure freight
service via The Richmond
New York Steamship Line, and
he was not slow to take adj
vantage Of it.
This is only one OF the in
stances that prove the wisdom
of using this Boat Line
Your Boat Line.
Have you used It? II so,
did you find it all that we
promised? Why notatell us?
We welcome kicks-because
they show us how to improve
our Service-and we also well
come your words Of commen-
dation for they show some
other shipper the way to
quicker freight service and
lower rates.
Watch for these stories OF
the Richmond New York
Steamship Line every Tues
day and Friday.

WIG TOO SMALL FOR FRANKLIN
Representative From the New Amer.
lea Had to Appear Before French
King In Bald Pate.

Benjamin Franklin was about to be
presented to the French king on the
occasion Of his first visit to France in
the capacity Of representative from
the new America. The court custom
Of the time demanded that one going
to an audience with the king must
wear wig Of the proper fashion. A
count, who had Franklin In tow, sent
wigmaker the day before to take
Franklin's measure and fit him out
for the audience. The wigmaker ar.
rived ut Franklin's lodgings. measured
the poll Of the great American fore
and aft and around and about and
took his departure. An hour before
the audience the wigmaker returned
with the wig. But when Franklin at.
tempted to put 1t on 1t would not
fit; he couldn't begin to get It on his
head. "Sir," said franklin to the
wigmaker, "your wig is unfortunately
too small for my head"
"Pardonnez moi. monsieur" replied
the wigmaker. "your head Is vastly too
large and quite beyond the fashion Of
the court"
Franklin appeared, therefore. at
court with his bald pate and shaggy
gray hair.-Detroit Free Press.

MULES ENJOYING
 RESULTS OF STRIKE
Animals Brought From Mines Have Not Seen Light for Years

Wilkcs-Barre, Pa, April 6.-Mine mules, many of which have not seen daylight for years, are enjoying the suspension of work in the anthracite fields with one hundred and fifty five thousand idle mine workers. If the capers they cut about their enclosures are to be taken as reflections of their feeling they are even more pleased than the miners.
 Thousands of mules have been brought from the dark levels in boarded enclosures. That the mules disliked their gloomy subterrancan existence was evidenced when an effort was made to drive them in the direction of a mine opening. They rebellcd.
 It is in the deep receSses of the mines where trolley lines cannot penetrate or where the sparks from electric wires might cause gas cN- plosions that the mules are employed. After once taken into the inner work ingS they are seldom removed until their usefulness has passed. Thelr average life underground is about 10 years
