In one of the big stores the other afternoon a etoopehouldered man with -a faded brown beard was clawing over the hats and trying them on, one after another, without appearing to find any to fit him. "What size are you looking for?" aeked one of the salesman. "What size?" he said. "Somethin, I kin wear. I reckon." Of course; but what'Byour number?'' "You don't number a man when he comes in here to buy a hat, do you?" "Certainly not I mean what's the number of the '" "Don't you s'pose I'll know when I come to a hat that 9tB me? I ain't no spring chicken, young man. I've bought hats 'fore this. You go on waitin' on customers. I'll find what I'm lookin' fur after a while. I've got plenty of time." "So have I. Time is nothing to me. I can stand hce and watch you trying on hats, but it isn't necessary. If you can tell rao what size of hat you wear, I can give you half a dozen of that size to try on. It will save you some trouble, and won't be quite so hard on the as sortment." The customer reflected. "Well, that's reasonable," he 6aid. -"Young man, I might as well tell you the truth. I've clean forgot the size hat 1 wear. 1 never can remember it. I know I wear a No. 9 shoe though. A No. 9 hat would be about the right thing, wouldn't it?" Chicago Tribune. A woman arrested in a Paris suburb for illegally setting off fireworks said in court that she was merely celebrating the anniversary of her husband's death. "Now, ladies," said the chairman of the convention, rapping with her gavel, "remember, please, that we must have order. I must ask you to refrain from whispering during the progress of the meeting." Still the low.sibilant sound from the group of pretty heads that had got togther in one corner of the hall con tinued. The chairman looked annoyed and rapped with her gavel more severely. The group of pretty heads broke up, and the whispering ceased in that quarter, but over in the opposite side of the hall a delegate was seen to lean toward her neighbor, and the disagre eable hissing was resumed. "Is it possible," said the chairman, "that I must repeat my request? You will refrain from whispering, please." The offending head nodded approv ingly, but the whispering did not stop. "If necessary," said the chairman, with a touch of anger, "I shall become personal in my requests. Will the del egate from Boston kindly postpone her private conversation with her neighbor till the meeting is oves?" The delegate from Boston straight ened up in her seat and Hushed hotly. "Is it possible," she exclaimed, "that you meant me?" "Certainly," said the chairman; "there was no one else whispering at the moment, I believe." "But," said the delegate from Boston, "I was only saying to my neighbor what a splendid chairman you made, to Etop the whispering of those ladies from Ohio over there. 1 don't .see how you can object to my sajing that." "Wo will have no whispering on any subject," taid the chairman, sternly. And with that at least a dozen heads in different parts of the hall bobbed over toward their neighbors' desks, and the sibilation grew into a prolonged hiss, from which could plainly be distin guished such expressions as "Served her right!" "The idea!" "What a splendid chairman!" etc. A look of despair came over the chair man's face, and she sat down, with a mute signal to the secretary to go 'on with the reading cf the minutes and let the whisperers have their way.
