A business man of Day ton, Ohio,
tolls this story of some commercial
frieinls of his :
A customer who bought in a
small way from the wholesalers
and whose credit was not of the
sort known as eft edged visited
the city and purchased a $2,800
bill of goods, paying $2,500 in
cash and giving his note for the
remaining $.100.
After the transaction had been
closed and the paper and currency
had changed hands the customer
said :
"Now, after a deal of that size
it is customary to give a purchaser
a present. Come across with it."
"We'll throw in a pair of sus
penders," laughed the salesman
temporizingly.
"A pair of suspenders, eh? Say,
quit fooling. 1 really mean it. I
expect you to do something in ac
knowledgement of my patronage."
The salesman went to the man
ager with the problem, and the
manager said ;
"Well, if he feels that way about
it we might encourage him a bit.
We'll do something that ought to
please him greatly. Give him
back his $300 note. Make him a
present of his paper. That will
make him a cash customer and
raise his credit and save him mon
ey besides."
The salesman went back, pleased
to be the bearer of such joyful ti
dings of liberality in business.
"Well, sir," he said, "we've
arranged about that present, all
right. Here, with a flourish, "is
your note. We give it back to
you."
The customer did not seem en
thusiastic. Instead, without look
ing at the note he asked :
"Is it indorsed?"
"No," said the salesman in as
tonishment. "Then I guess you bettergimme
the suspenders," said the disap
pointed customer. ChicagoNews.

THOSE TEARS.
I saw thee in tears !
The dear, pearly drops, that rolled down from those eyes,
Welled up from a spirit as pure,
As the dewdrops distilled from the skies,
Or now driven white on the moor,
When I saw thee in tears.1
0, tears, precious tears !
How glad would I, darling, have kissed off the tears.
From those eyes of heaven blue !
How glad, in my arms, chased away all the fears
From that heart, so tender and true,
When you were in tears !
Tears, eloquent tears !
Dear soul, how my heart wept in secret with thine,
As that silent crystalline rain,
Melted your heart, love, together with mine
Eternally one to remain
By the art of those tears 1
Those tears, darling tears !
Down, down, as I think in the flight of the years,
Thy sweet, simple innocence falls
O'er my lone heart as my spirit still hears
Those tear drops, when fancy recalls
That you were in tears.
A PLAIN LITTLE WOMAN.
Just a plain little woman, with plain little ways,
Who "tidies" the parlor with sweeping and dusting;
Whose nights are for resting between two tired days,
Whose faith is abiding, heaven-seeking, God-trusting;
A tired little woman, who puts lads to bed,
And lassies, and tucks them all in with caressing;
Who breathes a sweet prayer over each little head,
And devoutly knows God and the worth of His blessing.
A worn little woman, yet wearing a smile
That resists the attacks of all time upon beauty;
Who is, oh, such a distance from fashion and style,
But always so close upon patience and duty;
Whose days are a struggle of making ends meet,
Whose brow is deep lined with the real cost of living,
Whose soul has been tried 50 years and found sweet,
Who knows naught of getting, but knows all of giving.
A good little woman, who somehow has learned
The lesson of faith that withstands every trial,
Whose wifehood and motherhood nobly have earned
The crown of her glory with thorns of denial;
A real little woman, who gives to the world
Her children, reared up in the ways of right living;
Whose brow is all laureled, whose heart is all pearled
With year in and year out of loving and giving.
A glad little woman for just a dim ray
Of light in ihis world with its wonder and splendor;
Who is never too tired at the close of her day
To be watchful with love that is wistful and tender;
Who knits and who patches and over her thread
And needle and yarn in the night-time is bending,
When all of Iter world and its treasures in bed.
Whose rest ne'er begins and whose tasks never ending.
A plain little woman with plain little ways,
Whose life is, God knows, such a dull little story;
Who mothers a brood all her tired little days
What measure of treasure shall be hers in gloryl
Who knows her as I do, and treasures the smile
That resists the attacks of all time upon beauty;
Whose ways were so far cast from fashion and style,
But, oh, who walked close beside patience and duty?
J. W. Foley, in New York Times.
THOUGHTS.
The Flesh May Heal Our Wounds
I Rut the Scar Ever Remains.
How still it is ! The busy work-a-day
world has ceased its labors,
the rush and turmoil of daily strife
is over, and night stretches its
somber shadows over all. No
sound but the drip of the blessed
rain breaks the silence, and it falls
in a soft, slow dripping as though
loath to break the slumber, sitting
alone in the stillness of our room,
looking out into the darkness, lis
tening to the patter of the rain
drops, thoughts too many, and many
of them too painful, come throng
ing up in our brain thoughts that
keep "Death's twin sister sleep"
far away. There are many things,
as we think of them, that should
not have been neglected, many un
kind words spoken that can never
be recalled whose wounds no after
words nor deeds can entirely heal.
The flesh may heal over wounds
but the scar ever remains; this is
true of a flesh wound, and more
so where the feelings of the heart
has been hurt. Strange, too, that
it is not the alien, the sometime
guest, or the acquaintance, upon
whom we inflict these wounds, but
those who are nearest and dearest
those upon whose existence our
very life, as it were, depends
those who love us and are enti
tled to all the love and endearing
words all the little acts of kindness
that go toward making a happy
life.
Think when we frown upon one
of the household band, who would
give their lite, it need be, tor our
pleasure; and turn with a sweet
smile and a pleasant word for the
stranger, the friend of an hour,
who would care not into what
depths of misery we might be
plunged.

Mayor Lyons, of Mobile, said in
a recent interview :
"No; I cannot pronounce judg
ment on this occasion yet. Do
you takeme forjudge Taliaferro?"
"Judge Taliaferro," the Mayor
explained, with a smile, "was
holding court, back before the
war, in the little courthouse of
Citronelle. It was a cloudy spring
afternoon, and a very difficult and
puzzling case was on. The law
yers wrangled, quoted from great
law books and broke ir.to grand
flights of eloquence, while Judge
Taliaferro listened solemnly, or
gazed out of the window at the ap
proaching storm.
"It grew darker. The Judge
snatched a sheet of paper, scrib
bled a line or two upon it, and
placing it beneath a paper-weight,
took up his hat.
" 'Colonel,' he said briskly to
the lawyer who had the floor, 'ex
cuse me fo' interruptin' yuh, sah;
and I want that you should go
right on with yo' argument, for
it's a darned good one. But,
it's suah goin' to rain this evenin,'
Colonel, an' I just nacherly got to
set out my sweet potatoes right
away. But you go right on. Col
onel, and Major, you follow him
up, an' when yo two gentlemen
get through you'll find my decis
ion under this heah weight.'
And the judge disappeared
through the door before the law
yers had time to exchange one
astonished glance !" Detroit Free
Press.
"THE SAME."
Representative Rucker, of Col
orado, was in a strange town du
ring the last campaign and wanted
a drink. He has a constitutional
objection to drinkinz alone and
called a hobo who was standing in
front of the saloon to jom him.
They walked into the bar and Mr,
Rucker ordered two highballs.
Then he thought he might have
offended his companion, and said:
"I beg your pardon; I neglected
to ask you what you would like to
have 1"
"What did you order?" asked
the tramp.
"Two rye highballs," answered
Mr. Rucker. "That's all right;
I'll take the same."
Women are always saying : 'No
man knows what it is be a wo
man.' Jumping at conclusions has re
sulted in the downfall of many a
good man.
We avoid these aches and bad
memories of the past by striving
to make the most of our friends
while we have them with us. If
we have a friend in whom we have
all confidence and trust, why don't
we let them know these things by
telling them how much we love
and appreciate them, and showing
by our acts that our words are not
vain? Trust your friends, have
confidence in them, for friendship
abhorreth doubt. Never doubt
your friends' word. In a time of
trouble never fail to lend a helping
hand. Scatter roses along the
pathways and remove every visi
ble thorn, so that when our friends
are with us no more we will have
no sad thoughts of unspoken words
and duties which we have left un
done. So live that we will be
proud of the fact that even ;vhen
hearing unpleasant reports of our
friends we believe them not, and
that we stood by them through
evil as well as good report; that
we followed them to the end of
their journey and leave them with
the hope of the continuation of a
more blessed and perfect life here
after for friendship is not friend
ship at best till circumstances put
it to a test.
