Been Thoughtlessness.
"I’ve heard a lot of talk about the

Of a prominent West Philadelphia
church, according to the Philadel

reserved for me to meet him. It
was rather funny, too,” he contin

Lake up the collection that a man
hurried in the door and, dropping
into a rear pew, began to mop his
forehead, lie put a nickel on the
plate when I passed it to him and
continued his efforts to cool off. I
had got to the rear of the church
and begun to count the collection
when I hoard an audible gasp and
saw the man jump to his feet and
hurry hack to where i was standing.
Bciore i realized what he intended
to do he took a nickel front the plate
and started lor the door. 1 followed
him outside and, cheeking him, . aid:
“‘What’s the trouble, brother?
Is anything wrong?’
“ ‘Noi much,’ he called back as he
went down the path on it run, ‘only
1 hadn't finished shaving when my
wife darted for church, and in my
hurry to catch up with her I got

The New Cash Store starts off with the new year, and why not turn a new and buy for
cash. It pays u and it pays us. Did you ever stop to think that when u trade at a store where
they sell goods on a credit, or charge them, that u pay enough extra for your goods 2 pay for
the fellow that don’t pay? Well u do, and u have 2 pay extra for book-keepers and collectors,
and also for the merchant carrying your account. All this must B added on 2 the cost of the
goods, when the merchant marks the goods, and when he sells them, u foot the bill and help 2
pay the bad accounts. Now we do not come 2 u with a long hot air story, but we give u below,
prices that all we ask u 2 do, is 2 compare them with our would-B-competitors prices, and
also what u have been paying elsewhere. Our price will B uniform,
ONE PRICE 2 EVERYBODY ALIKE,

HiS DICE'S SUSPENDERS.
Clover Ruse by Which Wellington’s
Autograph Was Secured.
Toward the latter years of the
Duke of Wellington’s life it was
■ next to impossible to coax or whee
dle his autograph out of him. All
the stratagems used to get a reply
from him to letters failed. He either
i did not answer them at all or di
reci ! hi- private secretary to do so,
and thus the famous signature of
“Wellington” becairfe a rarity highi*
lv prized by collectors.
Apropos of this London Answ®
tells of a London lady who had V
( album garnished with the auto®
j graphs of most of the great men of
! the day, but wanted that of the
i “great captain.” She mentioned her
distress to a friend, a certain Mr. H.,
j and a few days after he, to her great
! surprise and pleasure, brought her
a note from the hand of the victor
of Waterloo. It ran thus:
Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington
never ordered a pair of braces of Messr*.
| Sirr.pkln. If F. M. the Duke of Welllng
i ton had ordered the articles, he could not
| forget it. F. M. the Duke of Wellington
always pays for his braces.
This was a very odd document for
! a lady's album, but its authenticity
i was undoubted, and it therefore
found the best place in the interest
ing collection. The way in which
this singular note was elicited was
j this:
i Mr. H. filled up one of the bank
ruptcy court forms and signed it,
informing the duke that in winding
up the affairs of Messrs. Simpkin he
(the assignee) found on their books
the sum of 6s. 6d. due by his grace
for a pair of braces, which he re
quested the duke would immediately
pay or have paid. Mr. H.’s ruse was
founded on pure fiction, but it suc
ceeded.
The Welsh Servant Girl.
She came into the drawing room
(there were visitors present) and
said: “If you please, William Hughes
has come. He says he lias no head
and has sold his tongue.” This ex
traordinary information startled me
I for a moment until I remembered
that 1 had ordered a calf's head and
! an ox tongue of Hughes, the local
i butcher. Another Welsh maiden in
South Wales sent in a singular mes
| sage one evening by my English
maid. She brought “Mrs. Griffith’s
love, and she hoped mv strange peo
| pie were well after their journey.”
Mrs. Griilith, a near neighbor, had
| called in the morning and been told
!by me that I expected relatives,
| whom she had met, from Wands
| worth that afternoon, so she had
| sent polite inquiries, and as
| are in the Welsh language design
■ ed strangers, the Welsh servant had,
for the benefit of the English one,
translated it into “strange people.”

An Insect Curiosity Shop.
Properly considered, a beehive
is a wonderful shop, and each indi
i vidual insect is a curiosity. The in
habitants of a hive are classed as
; drones, workers and queen. The
queen is the mother of every insect
in the hive, unless she has been in
j stalled instead of a queen who has
died and left the hive without a
mistress. This queen bee is the
wonder of the whole insect tribe as
far as egg laying is concerned, often
| depositing 4,000 eggs a day for days
in succession during the most pro-
I ductive season. The chief wonder
, connected with the worker bee is
| the admirable manner in which hi 3
body is shaped and fitted with in
| struments for honey gathering.
These natural instruments consist
of cups, combs, brushes, knives, fun
nels, scrapers, etef, each of which is
worthy of a week of careful and
painstaking study under a high
grade microscope.
Valuable Medicine.
“Hoctor, I want to thank you for
your valuable medicine.”
“It helped you, did it?” asked the
doctor, very much pleased.
“Tt helped me wonderfully.”
“How many bottles did you find
it necessary to take?”
“Oh. I didn’t take any of it. My
uncle took one bottle, and I am his
•sole lieir.”
12 years old; one large Gray Mare
Mule, named Fannie.
