Mr. Lawrence Terhune is a student
of human nature. The frailties of the
people with whom he dally comes In
contact grieve him exceedingly; his
sole ambition In life Is to correct by
means of drastic lessons, the errors In
their moral make-up, thus Inculcating
honesty, faithfulness, and other vir
tues Into various people who lack these
desirable attributes. Incidentally, he
makes a very comfortable living by It.
Oue afternoon he strolled Into nn
auction room where art objects from
the land of the Mikado were being
sold. A case of carved Ivories attract
ed his attention, and he lingered near
It admiringly. He asked nn attendant
If these things were sold privately, ns
he would not think of bidding at a pub
lic sale.
A whispered consultation ensued, In
the course of which the auctioneer In
formed him that they might do so, If
the gentleman would pick out the
things he desired and make nn offer
on them.
Said Mr. Terhune; "Really, I know
nothing of the value of these things;
but If you will allow me, I shall pick
out several things I fancy, and you will
place a label on each. Then, if you
will submit a list, with the price ot
each article, I shall send my agent, who
Is an expert; und If he considers the
figures satisfactory, I shall be pleased
to send you a check.”
The auctioneer gave a hasty glance
at the faultlessly dressed gentleman,
then winked long and elaborately at
a hideous bronze Idol. He had lmd
experience with purchasing agents be
fore. It would certainly be a good
day’s business.
The selection began. First, the
Ivories—cunning little men and women
In ‘ridiculous pastures; grotesque
beasts und birds climbing over each
other; gods, arrayed In filigree that
looked like lace, a hall of tiny mon
keys. so Intertwined and twisted that
almost impossible to count their
number. The daintiest and most
elaborate plecok In stock were care
fully selected and put aside.
Would the gentleman care to look at
some cloisonnes? The gentlemnn was
not very anxious, hut as he had a
little time to spare, he would. The
auctioneer waxed eloquent over the
wonders he displayed—graceful vases
of Iridescent hues; corpulent howls of
a dove-gray color, over which prepos
terous reptiles' disported and stuck out
their tongues; a gem of translucent
green enamel, sprinkled with cherry
blooms In softest pink and white.
A few ceramics? An exquisite dish
—so dainty, one could count his
fingers through Its porcelain walls—
covered with tiny figures outlined In
18-cnrat gold!
Royal Satsuma pottery, signed by
the artist, Is pleasing, attractive, and
rare.
Some Morlnrchl, studded with medal
lions like little gem’s. An old tea-set
so fragile that It seemed as if a breath
would destroy the fairy-dishes. A
bronz6 or two; and a mammoth teak-
wood cabinet, whose carved heads
brooded In solemn blackness over the
treasures.
.nwrence Terhune looked at his
watch and said:
Really. I had no Idea I had spent
so much time. Here Is my card. Kind
ly favor me with a list as soon as
possible. Quote your lowest prices, ns
I will do no bargaining. My agent will
call, examine, and report.”
The next morning the auctioneer
called at Mr. Terhune’s office. Ho was
disappointed that he found nothing to
Indicate the business of his prospec
tive purchaser. He was ushered Into
a room which has often been de
scribed as the handsomest private of
fice in New York, and his trained eye
unconsciously estimated the value of
the fixtures to be no less than five fig
ures.
“Ah, good morning! Have you your
list? Good I I’ll refer it to my agent.
I hope you have remembered- my re
quest to make the prices reasonable.
I will not be bothered with haggling.”
“Mr. Terhune, them prices quoted Is
dirt cheap. Why, I takes'my oath—
and I wouldn’t mean It no more sacred
ly If I was to drop dead this minute—
that every quotation Is as low as you
can get them anywhere, even If you
was to Import ’em yourself.”
The auctioneer took his leave. .
J. Lawrence Terhune chuckled, lit a
cigarette, and proceeded leisurely to
examine the list. One hundred and
eighty-seven separate Items—surely he
had not examined so many! A sum
total of $7,839. J. Lawrence Terhune
laughed softly carefully folded the doc
ument, and put It In his pocket.
A few days later a stoop-shouldered
slovenly Individual shambled Into the
auctioneer’s place, and handed over a
grimy card bearing Mr. Terhune’s
name, asked to see the “chlm-gracks”
mentioned In “dis,” tapping a much-
soiled piece of paper, which the auc
tioneer recognized as the list sub
mitted.
“I’m Meester Derhune’s achent—my
rame’s Gerstensang,” he volunteered.
He went to work In a very businesslike
way, with a magnifying-glass and
long needle, looking for cracks In the
ivory.
The auctioneer watched him anx
iously.
“Fine stuff that?" he said at last.
| “Ummhmm 1" murmured Mr. Ger
stensang, comparing the number on th *
ornament with the price on the list.
The auctioneer watched him mnk«» a
mysterious hieroglyph after the num
ber. “Pretty cheap?”
‘Ummhmm 1 I s’pect so. > You
sharge only twice about vat de.v
vos vorf.”
'Whatcher talkin’ about?” blustered
the auctioneer. “Mr. Terhune'U never
get another chance to get these things
as cheap as that!”
No?” The Inflection in the agent’s
voice was a battery of questions.
'No! And you know It”
'I yet don’ know It." Mr. Gersten-
snng’s voice was remarkable, In that It
suggested so much more than the
words conveyed.
Well, It’s worth $50 for you to flud
it out.”
“Don’ bodder me l Tm blzzy.”
“A hundred, then.”
“Say! DIs one—you got It mnrked
for three hundert dollars—vouldn’t be
vort’ dnt If It was from von piece
made; and it Is from more dan four,
and two ore pone and not Ivory,” said
the agent Irrelevantly.
“Two hundred,” replied the auction
eer. equally Irrelevantly.
“Say! Vat you mean? Are you dry
ing to pribe me?” The look of vir
tuous Indignation almost convinced
the auctioneer that he had made a
mistake.
“No, no!” he hastily assured tho
man, who gazed at him In a disconcert
ing manner. “But, you see, I thought
you might make u mistake, and I
wanted to give you a little token of
my esteem.” It sounded ridiculous,
and the auctioneer shifted uneasily
as he anathematized the eye.* 4 * that
seemed to bore holes through him.
“Oh! So, to you—my esteem two
hundert dollars Is vort’?”
The auctioneer had the grace to turn

“For two hundert dollars, I should
pass on a lot dat for more dun twice
vnt It Is vort’ hns dor prices down
marked? Vat said dor goon song? ‘I
don’ like no sheep man,’ ” and he
leered cunningly at the auctioneer.
“Well! What’s It worth?”
“Oh! Of the hill, ten per cent Is
tier usual amount, but ve vill say seven
hundert and fifty dollars In clrculnr
figures.
There was a little more conversa
tion.
“All right. When I get Mr. Ter-
hime’s check I’ll give you mine.”
“Vill you?" suid the agent. "No,
you villn't. I got no use for snooks;
also, I do strictly gash bizness. Now
der money, and Meester Derlmne gets
a rebort; now no money, and he gets a
robort. Elder vny Is von.”
The auctioneer demurred to some,
extent, and then went to the sufe and
produced some hills.
“Seven hundred Is all I got.”
Gerstensang counted them carefully.
“All ride. You want a reclvet?” he
Inquired. ‘‘No? Ach! I vill make a
rebort to Meester Derhune dat vill
bring tears to your eyes”—and he de
parted.
The auctioneer wnlted a week, and
then went to. see Mr. Terhune. That
gentleman was busily engaged with
certain papers, and hardly heeded the
other’s-oily salutations.
“Well, sir! What enn I do for you?”
“DI<J you get your agent’s report?”
“I did.” The words were ominous
In their brevity.
The auctioneer fidgeted and stam
mered. “I have been expectin' to hear
from you.”
“Have you? Well, you^neod wait no
longer." He hnnded the auctioneer a
well-remembered piece of paper. There
was the list of 287 separate Items—a
sum total of $7.830—and underneath,
In a cramped German hand:
“I beg to report that the articles is
all for more than their value quoted;
they nre bogus most of them.
I “Gerstensang.”
The auctioneer grew livid.
“Why, what In h— did he mean?
He told me he’d make a satisfact’ry
report.”
“Did he?” inquired Mr. Terhune.
"Why?” ,
“Where is your d— agent?”
“My man, you forget yourself I I
shall have to bid you good morn
ing.” *
Mr. Terhune turned to the pnpers
on his desk.
“He’s a^heat, a robber, a thief, a
swindler!” sereomed the auctioneer
with vehemence.
. “My dear sir, are you crazy? I have
known Gerstensang all my life, and
would rely absolutely on any report he
should make.”
The auctioneer gazed at Mr. Ter
hune, and his ruddy face paled. Again
he met a pair of eyes that seemed to
heat his glances to the earth and rend
him through to his brnzen, sordid, de
ceitful soul.
“Why—I don’t believe—” he stam
mered. "There never was no— You’re
Gerstensang himself I” he shrieked,
fairly dancing up and down In Impo
tent rage.
Mr. Terhune sprang from his chair.
“Do not compel me to have you
ejected. Go 1”
The auctioneer had no alternative.
He went. There were tears In his
eyes.
J. Lawrence Terhune sank back in
his chair and smiled as he gazed
thoughtfully at his bank pass-book,
wherein was the following entry:

Special Care of Baby.
That Baby should have a bed of Its own all are agreed. Yet It
is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use
a man’s medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of
that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would
be tolerated by specialists in children’s diseases.
Your Physician will tell you that Baby’s medicine must be
prepared with even greater care than Baby’s food.
A Baby’s stomach when In good health is too often disarranged
by improper food. • Could you for a moment, then, think of giving
to your ailing child anything but a medicine especially prepared
for Infants and Children ? Don’t be deceived.
Make a mental note of this:—It is important, Mothers, that
you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of
your Baby must receive special care. No Baby Is so abnormal that
the desired results may be had from the use of medicines primarily
prepared for grown-ups.

A wealthy western congressman,
says the Argonaut, much against his
will, erected a magnificent mansion in
Washington to please Ids wife und
daughter. The congressman was of
plain tastes and had no liking for the
social activities of the national cap-',
it ill. One day nn old friend visited
him. Wearing a face of the deepest
gloom, the owner of the stately home
escorted his caller throughout the
place. The visitor was admiring and
enthusiastic, hut the host said little
or nothing. When the Inspection was
finished and the two had returned to
the library on the first floor, the vis
itor said:
“Well. .Tim, you certainly can’t say
that you haven’t everything that you
want.”
“Yes, I can." replied the millionaire
soberly; “I want a parrot."
“Why a parrot?”
