Drummer Devised Shrewd Scheme for
Putting End to Series of Petty
“Like cures like,” said Speaker Gil
lett, apropos of certain extortions.
“Abuse may cure abuse, too.
“l once knew a drummer for a
chemical firm., This drummer would
visit Pottsville four or five times a
year. He would arrive late in the
evening at the Pottsvilie hotel and
depart after lunch the next day. He
didn’t stop a full day, you see; he
got no dinner; nevertheless he was
always charged a full day's board.
“The extortion got on his nerves
at last; so one afternoon” when his
bill was brought him, he took out his
pad and drew up an account against
the landlady for a carboy of sulphurie
acid.
“‘Take this to Mrs. Tompkins,' he
said to the waiter, ‘and ask her if she
would mind settling up at once.
“In a few minutes Mrs. Tompkins
herself appeared.
“ ‘Why," she said to the drummer,
‘1 never bought any sulphuric acid
from you in my life. This bill is a
mistake.'
*“*Neither have 1 ever eaten any of
your dinners, ma'am," said the drum
mer, ‘but you charge me for them
every time 1 come to Pottsville.
“After that the Pottsville hotel never
charged the drummer for things he
hadn’t had.”
The Catch.
A New England spinster was much
enamored of a neighboring farmer, but
the affection was not returned. One
day, starting on one of his weekly
visits to town, the maiden came rush
ing out, crying:
“Yoo-hoo, Mr. Simpkins, do you
mind taking me with you?”
The farmer considered warily and
finally allowed her- to elimb in.
In vain the lady tried every topic of
conversation without eliciting response
and finally in desperation fell back on
the passing bits of scenery. Going by
the minister’'s house, she cried: *“Oh,
Mr. Simpkins, what a beautiful hitch
ing post Pastor Watson has.”
*“Gol durn,” eried the other crack-

THAT SUIT
—llast year you thought one season’s wear was all you could normal
ly expect.
BUT the clerk was right—there was GOOD quality of wool in the
material,
Of course were it not for DRY CLEANERS and modern clean
ing methods—you could not think of using it for GOOD wear again
this season.
All right there is where we fit in. Our methods are modern.
And if we have that suit or light coat NOW—we will have it ready
for delivery the first spring day.

One Thing After Another.
It is many years since man was to
be cured of all his ills by the removal
of a largely superfluous appendix.
When the magic of that operation be
gan to pall pyorrhea became the chief
criminal and the substitution of “den
tures” for the unruly teeth of nature
the elixir of life. But .man’s health
was still indifferent, and the discovery
of the “dead tooth”™ in all its peril
promised a pathway to centenarian
vigor. Passing by monkey glands, we
now come to the nerve centers of the
spine as the seat of all trouble and
to a delicate combination of osteopa
thy and massage as the infailible re
cipe for perfect health.—London Ex

From Lyons, France, comes the re

for making raised embroidery in gold

stitch is a copy of an ancient form

chine that has been successful in us
ing the metallic thread. It is stated
that the machine is the result of seven
years of study, and that the results
are very satisfactory.- ~Scientitic

SEARCH FOR MUSICAL THIEF
Peculiar and Clever Crook Is Just
Now Engaging the Attention of
London Police.
Detectives are searching for an ac
complished thief who plays the piano
aud sings for his victim before going
away with the valuables.
Although known to the police, he has
béen “operating” in St. John’s Wood.
London, for more than a month and
his two latest coups have been car
ried out within a few minutes’ walk
of each other,
He returned a fortnight ago to a
house in St. George's terrace, Prim.
rose Hill, where he had taken apart
ments, while the other boarders were
at dinner, Inquiries resulted in the
discovery that the lodger had gone
with jewelry including four gold rings
set with diamonds, worth $2,000.
A woman in King Henry's road, Lon
don, is the latest victim. On Monday
the man rang up and in a short time
arrived in a taxicab. He stated that
he would fetch his luggage later.
Insisting in paying in advance he
made out a check for a week’s bpard
and made himself agreeable by his
musical accomplishments, but a pro
longed absence in the bathroom excited
suspicion, and it was found that a
trunk had been forced and $l,OOO worth
of jewelry stolen. A finely-cased gold
watch, valued at $5OO, was among the
articles stolen, and the check was dis

QUIT TELLING FUNNY STORIES
Why Caigressman Kelly Sacrificed
Humor on the Altar of Sertous
Statesmanship.
Patrick Kelly, a representative in
congress from Michigan, says that he
used to tell many stories in going
about in his political campaigns. The
audiences always liked them and went
away pleased. Telling them looked
like good politics.
Years later Kelly would meet a
man and he would say:
“I have met you before. I remem
ber very well a certain story you
told,”
Then he would repeat the anecdote.
Kelly would ask him what else he re
membered that had been said, and he
would be unable to remember a thing.
The congressman began to wonder 1f the
telling of stories prevented more seri
ous matters from finding lodgement
in the hearer's mind,
He became fearful. He was not
sure, but he decided to lay off the
funny story. So was the possibility
of a multitude of good laughs sacri
ficed at the altar of serious states
manship.—New York Sun.
One Way to Attract Customers,
In a small New England town I met
a druggist who makes a speclalty of
selling postage stamps. He says that to
retail 2-cent stamps for 2 cents each
is the most profitable line in his store,
These sales would be extremely un
profi able, if he handled stamps
grouchily or grudgingly, saying by his
manner: “Whatta you mean by both
ering me to sell you postage stamps?”
But he has signs in his window tell
ing that he has plenty of stamps, and
makes a speclal effort to be more
pleasant and accommodating and gra
cious about a siamp sale than at any
other time. He has attracted thou
sands of permanent customers in that
way. “A pnew customer is worth many
dollars & year,” he observes, “whether
the thing that first brought him in is
postage stamps, cigars or whatnot.
So having enticed him in, why should
I do anything to make him sorry he
came?"'—Fred Kelly In The Nation’s
Business.
No Use For Ailing Wife.
The New York Medical Journal
says: :
“Dr. Lichtwardt, a medical mission
ary, tells that many of the Perslan
sick women are obliged to steal away,
during their husband’'s absence, to
see a doctor, $
“ ‘Honorable Sir,’ says the introdue
tory note, ‘please see me at once that
I may return home before my hus
band, else he will beat me severely.'
“We should not think neurotics
abound, for the husband often says to
the doctor:
“ ‘Well, let her die, for even if she
gets well I'll divorce her and get a
new wife. I don't want a weak one
in my house.' "
Merris Chair Fire-Escape.
A morris chair fire-escape, which
is described in Popular Mechanics
Magazine, comprises a comfortable
piece of furniture and ready means
of safety in case of fire. By extend
ing two brackets, attached to the back
of the chair out of a window and
stringing a rope, wound on a spool
under the chair seat, over a pulley
located on a rod between the two
bracket ends, a quick descent to the
ground is accomplished. A brake, con
trolled by the fire victim, regulates
the speed of the descent.
Fondness for Animals,
“Hiram," said Mrs. Corntossel, “the
new hired man says he's fond of
horses.”
“That may be a help and then it
may not. The trouble with the last
hired man was that he was fond of
hosses. Only he didn’t care about 'em
unless they was on the race track.”

FRENCH PLAYHOUSE ON BOAT
Actors in Remarkable Theatre Are

France has a playhouse, built on a}
barge, which travels from Tours ta
Strasbourg. It Is a gorgeous afl'air‘
painted In white and silver and called |
the “bateau-theatre,” It wanders
along the canals and wherever it stops‘
the French, who have few entertain
ments, crowd into the Fulminant to
see a dramatic representation. It is
agreeable life to move leisurely by
cana} and river, to stop where one
pleases, to play to a crowded house in
a salle, which is always ready, to
give pleasure to a whole community
and profit to oneself. The room where
the performances take place is spac
fous enough. It holds five hundred
persons, and every one of the faut
eunils covered in red velvet in this
blue and gold decorated hall is oec
cupled whenever the floating theatre
casts anchor in an out-of-the-way town.
The actors are their own mariners.

LINKED WITH GLORIOUS PAST
Town of Steinamanger Within Terrl
tory Once Important Part of the
Ol¢d Roman Empire.
Perhaps it was not without deep sen
timental reasons that former Emperor
Charles of Austria-Hungry chose the
town of Stelnamanger—to the Hun
garians, Szombathely—as a place from
which he hoped to receive the acclaim
of his former subjects as their returned
ruler, says a bulletin from the Wash
ington headquarters of the Nutional‘
Geographic society,
It has been the cherished policy of
the Hapsburg rulers of Austria-Hun
gary to rejuvenate the old “Holy
Roman Empire,” the Frankish and lat
er the German union which claimed
to be the heir to the power and over
lordship of Rome. The affiliations of
what was Austro-Hungarian territory
before the World war, with the old
Roman empire, were perhaps closet
through Steinamanger than through
any other town. The present town is
in the site of the Roman Sabria, which
was the capital of one of the chiet
divisions of Pannonia—the name given
by the Romans tc the province which
covered the heart of modern Austria-
Hungary.
A “Sand-Bow.”
The unusual optical phenomenon of
& rainbow produced by the sun shin
ing not on rain-drops, but on particles
of sand suspended in the air by wind
was witnessed over a part of the Great
Salt Lake by some surveying parties
The colors were very brilliant, and
there was a secondary bow visible.
The main bow was fully double the
width of an ordinary rainbow. Only
a segment of it was seen. The sand
was colitle, consisting of calcareous
spherules of fairly uniform size, rang
ing between the limits of No. 8 and
No. 10 shot, which are polished and
exhibit a pearly luster. It is pointed
out that the production of the bow
must have been due to reflection from
the outer surfaces of the spherules,
and cannot be explained on the rule of
refraction and total reflection, gener
ally applied in the explanation of the
rainbow.
Selenium a Rare Element.
Selenium is a rare and little-used
element described by the United
States Geological survey, Department
of the Interior, as having its greatest
use in giving a red color to glass.
such as that used in rallroads for
signal lights, and in coloring enameled
ware red. It is also used to overcome
the natural green color of ordinary
glass. Selenium is peculiar In being
& very poor conductor of electricity in
the dark and a fairly good conductor
In the light and is used in several
electric devices whose utility depends
on this peculiarity. It has been used
in telephoning along a ray of light and
in transmitting sounds and photo
graphs from one place to another over
a wire,

“Hiram,” said Mrs., Corntossel,
“our boy Josh has learned to play a

“That boy won't do nothin® but
waste time. What does he want with
a regular tune? I was educatin’ him
for leader of a jazz orchestra.”
