Greatest Consumer of Ameri-

Karachi, India.-India is. the
greatest consumer of American sec
ond-hand clothes in the world.
Every year the men, women and
children of this vast subcontinent
spend about s750,OOO for castoff CO.'S
tunes, coats, gowns, suits, over
coats, shoes and socks once worn
by Americas millions.
No trousers are worn in India, so
this garment is a drug on the mar
ket.
A S75 overcoat that may once
have been worn by a wealthy Amer
ican business man finds it's way to
the back of an Indian peasant, who
wears it another ten years, but pays
only S1.50 for it.
A rich silken robe that may once
have adorned a Washington society
woman finds its way into an Indian
hut, where it gives cover to a
famished Indian housewife, who
pays about a dollar for it.
An Indian man is not particular
whether the coat is a mans or wom-
ans garment; nor has the Indian
woman any prejudice against wear
ing a masculine article All gar
ments look alike to the destitute
peasants.

III take that job" said a little
volunteer, stepping from the ranks.
"You are hired" said Mr.. Golden.

Together they repaired to John
Golden's Office. The barber shaved
him, with never q nick. Mr.. Golden
was delighted but felt there was
something lacking.
"We should have a barber chair"
he said.
The barber said that he would

at small cost.

So the bottles were purchased,
and the chair was purchased, and
they were installed in the room off
Mr.. Golden's office-the room where
the shower bath is-and there they
stand until this day.
On one occasion Mr.. Golden was
showing a friend his outfit. He was
about to be shaved and all was in

Buffalo Herds in East
in Eighteenth Century

The American bison or buffalo
was at one time nearly as abundant
east of the Mississippi as on the
western plains.
Remains of bisons have been
found in southern Michigan more
adapted TO their grazing habits than
the pine-covered areas of the north,
and In Wisconsin. In the latter state
a pair of these animals, killed by
Sioux in 1882, are believed TO have
been the last of the species east of
the great river.
In the early history of New York,
bison made so many trails TO the
salt springs about Onondaga that
settlers used them for roads. The
city of Buffalo was named after
them, likewise several towns and
a mountain in Pennsylvania. The
last Pennsylvania bison was killed
in 1870 near Lewisburg.
Early in the Eighteenth century,
according to writings of Jesuits and
explorers, bison were plentiful along
the Sandusky river and in the
territory south of Lake Erie. In 171S
they were reported as abundant
near Defiance. Ohio. In the latter
part of the century, however, when
permanent settlements were being
made, they had dwindled to a hand
full.
A few of these animals were found
in Indiana as late as 1910. The In
diana geological survey, as quoted
by Edwin Lincoln Moseley in Our
Wild Animals" tells of a migration
from the prairies of the West across
the state to salt licks and blue
grass meadows of Kentucky. Buff
falo were seen near Vincennes in
1908.
Had the bison been more intelli-
gent and better able TO cope with
the settlers, they might have sur
yived the Middle West. They were
very slow in comprehending danger,
and often witnessed the slaughter
of their companions with wonder
and curiosity. While they were ex-
tinct this side of the Mississippi,
herds 25 miles across were being
hunted in the West.-Detroit News

what did want to see him for?"
And he walked out, closing the door
behind him.
Jimmy Walker, Gene Tunney,
George Olyaney, Emil Fuchs and
Sam Breadon are among those born
in New Yerk's Greenwich village
They all appear to have got a good
start and to have done pretty well.
A mayor, a heavyweight champion,
political leader and judge, and
two owners of major league baseball
clubs-that's a fair output for one
neighborhood.

the house seem Silly in way that
was terrifying. The voice of
youngster would have helped. When,
as time went on, it seemed discour-
agingly obvious that Minnie was to
have none of her own, there was
talk of adopting a child. Tom was
all for 1t, eager TO introduce into
the home of this woman he adored
any possible streak of light and
sweetness. Strangely, after much
consideration, it was Minnie who
decided against it. Tom understood.
One did not draw a child into the
shadow of a cloud.
1t was ironic beyond the telling
and something that was to take
years for him to be able to bear
up under that Minnie, returning
from a solitary walk into town,
should have been killed outright by
an automobile, as she darted in
front of it to snatch back little Dotty
Ravenel who had leaped in front of
it after a puppy.
Like candle snuffed, the lonely,
gallant personality of Minnie went
out, as it were, in a flash, dashing
Tom into darkness; dashing lifeinto
darkness.
What a funeral For years 1t was
one of the talked of occasions of
the town. Six carriages laden with
flowers followed Minnie's hearse.
Crowds stood upon the lawn and
along the sidewalks as the solitary
bitter figure of Tom Arden followed
the white hearse to its grave.
In a bitterness. which he was
later to regret, he gave orders that
no one, save himself and two serv-
ants, should follow her to her last
resting place. The crowd stood by
respectfully, and a little cowed. The
house next door had every blind
lowered, and every flower in its lux
uriant gardens plucked to make a
blanket for Minnie's grave.
1t was a grim, tragic picture Of
solitary man following a woman
who in death seemed no more soli-
tary than she had been in life.
In way, the subsequent behavior
Of Lucy Ravenel was pathetic. 1t
might actually be said that she
scratched for admission into that
silent stone house. like a dog bid
ing his time. Apparently awed nei-
ther by the bitter black anger of
Tom, nor his forbidding servants,
she called daily, the little Dotty at
her side, offerings Of food and flow
ers In her hands.
For SIX months that door re-
manned steadfastly closed to her.
One day she encountered Tom on his
steps. she was narrow, nervous
Tipped woman and the weeks follow
ing Minnie's death had played havoc
with her.
"Tom," she said, "aren't you go
ing TO let us atOne-aren't you go
ing to give US the chance to make
her memory a monument In this
town? If you can deny me, Tom,
Dotty asks you-Dotty asks you to
let her help you"
Standing there looking down into
the clear eyes of the child whom
Minnie had snatched from prema-
ture death, 1t was as If what Min
ME would have said came floating
TO his ears and his consciousness.
take little Dotty into your heart
that is what l would do. Tom"
That is what Tom did.

Lights of New York ~ TsvAbUEI TswAaUE'

John Golden, in years gone by,
made many courageous efforts to do
his own shaving. Had he put a
notch in the handle of the razor to
mark every time he cut himself, it
would have resembled the butt of
a western bad mans gun. Mr.:
Golden had a face which nicked
easily. For years after that he was
patron of one shop. Finally, that
barber went out of business. On
the closing day, Mr.. Golden said
to him:
isn't there an agency where you
get these men of yours? Could
go there and hire a barber?"
The man said he could and gave
him the address, Mr.. Golden pro-
ceeded to the place mentioned and
there found some three dozen men,
fair and dark, short and tall.

he said. "AIl right. Give me your

water mill at Phalanx, Ohio,
five miles west of here, but, de-

1t was constructed by Eli Bar

settlers and a relative of P. T.

Had it gone to steam, gaso-
