Substantial Reasons Why Business
Firm "Stood For" Impertinence
from Employe.
The New York dry goods firm of
I'lumsteln & Rosenberg had a travel
ins; salesman named Richards. Rich
aids was a good salesman, anil when
sober a genial fellow. Onee, however,
after an unusually successful trip he
indulged in an unusually successful
celebration, and ended by going to
Bleep in the public office of the com
pany.
'(let up," sail Mr. Rosenberg,
kins him violently. '
"Rosey, no jump on yourself," said I
his sleepy employe. i
The senior partner tried It next and'
was rewarded with the words: !
'T.ltinistein, you go to thunder." 1
The firm held an Indignation meet- i
lug, decided to dispense with Rich j
aids' services, and asked th' liook i
keeper what they owed this erring
salesman.
"Fifteen hundred dollars," he report
ed. "Richards has sold Jc.o.mtO worth
of peods In the past three months."
The partners looked at each other in ,
silence. !
"Rosey," said the senior partner, ,
"you go chump on yourself. I'm go-!
Ing to thunder." Success Magazine.

at the colonial office.
One night, or rather very early In
the morning, the tit senucr was sent
to Prince's (hird- ns with an important
"cabinet circulation." Mr. Chamberlain
was working late and had s-vit all his
servants to be 1. and the messenger had
t wait a long time before getting an

At last he gave a thundering rat tat
and pres ntly had the :.ati.;f.u'tion of
seeing some one whom he supposed l
he tile butler appear in answer to his

mid smoking a clay pipe. "Oh," said
the messenger, "you have come at last,
have you? There's no hurry. It's only
a message from the pi line minister."
The "butler" smiled serenely, and the
messenger, then recognizing his man,
stammered out: "1 beg your pardon

you."

Particular Occasion Looki.-g
for Charity.
The prosperous wholesale grocery
dealer had sold out his business pre
paratory to departing for the west to
live. He was reflecting, the next
morning, on the prospect of getting a
good price for Ills house, which the
coloied coat so as to give it again its (
original luster, and by the window an
other man shook Industriously three
pearls in a bottle. j
"It is a secret of the trade, of the
pearl driller's trade," he said, "this
bottle-shaking. You see, in pearl drill
ing, a drill point often breaks off In a
pearl, and to got it out may take a
whole drvy's work that is, if you don't
know the secret."
He looked closely at the bottom of
the glass bottle, and then, continuing
his shaking, he resumed:
"Hut If you put your pearl In a bot
tle and shake it up, the drill point In
a few minutes will fall out of itself
Look! There's another out already.
The third'll come s:ion now."

Rev. Newell C. Maynard of Rom
fret. Vt.. is the clergyman whose
novel plan promises to rind many fol
lowers. In the town of Poiufret. among the
hiits of Vermont Sunday morning
broke with a midwinter blizzard.
Three feet of snow had already fallen
and the darkened sky gave no signs
of withholding the rest of Its hoary
burden.
"To me, as minister of the village
church, it was evident that this was
a good day for people to enjoy the
comforts of their own fireside. Hut
how to reach these people In such a
storm and give them the practical
benefits of a Sunday service in their
own homesthis was the question
which I set myself about to answer,
i "I had it! Almost every home with
I In a radius of ten miles had n tele

j deacons and made my propositions to

"Go ahead!'
"I then called up central and nsked
permission to have the switch thrown
open on both lines. Next I called up
my violinist, Marvin Whipple, and re
quested him to be ready with a violin
solo, and finally asked Lester Clifford
to he prepared for two selections of
sacred music for the phonograph. I
gave the order of service to my violin
ist and phonograph operator, and
Ueacon A. P. Clifford called up the
parties on the line and requested all
who cared to listen to the service to
take down their receivers at 11
o'clock.
"When the hour arrived I took
down my receiver and calling the roll
of all the parties on the line, bid
simply:
"We will commence our morning
service with a selection by the male
quartet.' Then the phonograph placed

By a most fortunate circum
stance we had an opportunity and
took advantage of it of getting a
large consignment of fine em
broidery at a mere fraction of its
real worth. This we placed on
sale Saturday and shall continue
until it is all closed out. We have
an exceptionally fine line of de
signs, the values ranging up to 35
cents, but as long as they last you
may have your choice at
10c and 15c
You never had such an oppor
tunity to secure such standard
goods at so low a price. Notice
the display in our east window.

Youthful Elopers
The youthful elopement In Dickens'
pretty story was duplicated
life tlie other day, when Jesse
aed four years, and Annlo Theresa
Unteifiishberger, aged three years
left their respective homes In Port
land, Ore., and wandered down town
hand In hand. Intent on getting mar

did run smooth, however, and the lit
tie romance was spoiled by Patrol
man Itiley, who met tho tots In the
heart of tho business district. The bn
was much abashed by the man In uni
form, but the girl lisped out their
plan to get married and visit a mov
Ing-plcture show. When taken to the
police station, where their frantic
parents were walling, there was a

breaking Into tenrs as her mother
started to take her away, "Annie wants
to slay and marry Jesse."

The collar button has been libeled
Since It first camn Into being It hat
provided the wrlieis of Jokes for thr

their material. That It possessed a
remarkable tendency toward losing It
self has been accepted almost as an
axiom.
Facts have come to light which
show that the collar button has been
maligned. A man In the employ or tin

SEVERAL KINDS OF ACCENTS.
Observant New Yorker Noted the Dif
ferent Pronunciationt of Singer
In the Choir.
"In so cosmopolitan a city as thta,
began a man who was on his war
from a choral service at one of th
New York churches, "I fancy a choir
master's duties are doubly hard."
"How so?" asked his companion,
who, though less observing, had Bat
through tho same service.
"Hecause of tho various pronuncbv
Hons of tho members of the choir. To
day I heard distinctly four different
methods of pronouncing the word
mercy. It took nie some time to fig
ure them all out, but I happened to
know the line 'Lord, have mercy upon
us.' etc. There were some who nald
'molcy,' and they seemed to be In th
majority; others 6aiiR 'murcy' with all
tho b-rr to tho r that they could get
In; still there was somo one, a so
prano who pronounced It as ir it werw
spelled with a double e. 'meercy.' and
some one Rave It a French finish and
said 'mercay.' Now I don't doubt thai
choir master has worked over thosfl
people In his effort to get a uniform
pronunciation, but so far, at least to
