When we don't buy at headquarters. we buy from one that needs it (Cash). Very often a large manufacturer or a big store needs the wherewith to meet a note, money must be raised: they know we buy the lot, or if need be, the whole store. We have the cash and he needs it. We take the lot-the whole lot-at our price. and he takes the cash. This is not swapping dollar for dollar, but we get Two Dollars Worth of Coods And Sometimes More FOR OUR One Dollar Cash. We have a regular buyer stationed in New York: he is well known as a "SCOOPER" he scoops the lot at one-half or one third of its value and sends on the goods.

A FICKLE IMMIGRANT. Her Experience With Two Lovers at Uncle Sum's Barge Offlce. "There seem to be manifold oppor tunities among the imiigrants coauing to America on shipboard for falling in love, particularly on the slower steam ers, when people are thrown togetler for a period of from 12 to 18 days." says John Gilmer Speed in iisl'e's. "In this case a worthy your; R.ussian was cheated out of a very pretty bride by a likely Italian fellow traveler of the maiden. Strangely enough, she knew not one word of Italian nor lie a word of Russian, yet the bride's countryman was jilted, and the panto mime lovers were married and set forth gayly and confidently to learn each other and the great new world they had entered at one and the same time. "Another case was equally ludicrous. A Swedish maiden of somewhat fickle mind fell In love with a fellow voy ager without apprising him of the fact that she was betrothed to another man whom she was to meet at the barge office and marry. It was her intention to hurry ashore with her new lover and outwit the former by a prior cere mony, but the red tape of the office prevented that, and the first lover came to welcome his bride. She then as promptly fell in love with No. 1. But when No. 2 pleaded and threatened, she could not decide which one she loved the better, so she was detained while the two men haunted the barge office, glaring at each other. "When the detention time had elaps ed, the bride, still not knowing her mind, was sent unceremoniously back on the same steamer that brought her over, both jilted lovers abandoning the field In despair. But on arriving on her native soil once more the maiden dared not face her people. so back she came. having just money enough to pay her passage, and sent for lover No. 1, declaring that she loved him the bet ter. He replied that he was very much obliged, but as he had already married a handsomer girl in the interval he was compelled to decline to come for her. The maiden then sent word to No. 2 to like effect, but he declared that he had had enough of the fickle feminine, and thus in defeat the maiden was trans ported back again to face the leers and jeers of her native hamlet." Why tie Wanted a Receipt. There was a lawyer in the Indian country 'who had none too good a repu tation for honesty, says the Chicago News. One of the aborigines employed him to do a little legal business. It was done to the client's satisfaction, the fee duly paid and a receipt for it duly demanded. "A receipt isn't necessa ry," the lawyer saidl. "But I want it," relied the red man. There was some argument. and the attorney finally de manded his reason. "Since becoming a Christian I have been very careful in all my dealings that I may be ready for the judgment." answetred1 the brave sententiously, "and when that day comes I don't wvant to take time to go to the bad place to get my receipt from you." The receipt was made out and promptly delivered. Thrive Without Meat. It is the r'eligion of nearly all Asiat ics to abstain from eating flesh, fish or fowl, because it is a sin to kill for food anything that has instinct, "lest it be hindered on its upward way." Besides, according to the~ doctrine of transmi graton of souls, one might kill and eat one's grandmother. But, aside from that, vegetable food, it is claimed. makes better muscle and bone than meat. Anyway, It is well known that the stevedores of Constantinople and other eastern ports never eat meat, and that, as a class, they have no superiors anywhere in the world in physical strength._________ Saved by Seaweed. "I was once saved by seaweed," said an old sea captain, "down in the Falkand islands. We were being washed on a lee shore when the skip per, an old fellow from Nova Scotia, picked up a vine that was floating on the water and hauled it in until it got pretty near as big as a man's body; then lie made It fast. and we swung by it. as good a cable as you would want to see and one of the curiousest thngs."-Philadelphia Press. Dangers of Boating. Claa-When George and I are mar ried, I am to have my own way In ev erything. Da--Guess you won't. Clara-Indeed I will That's the bar gain. Don't 'you remember I told you he proposed to me in a rowboat and asked if I'd float through life with him just that way? "Yes." "Well, he was rowing, but I was seerng."-New York Weekly. A Misleading Anlogy. "When you eat, be careful to leave off hungry," Is advice often given at the dinner table, but seldom received in an obedient spirit. The caution was repeated not iong since to a young man of vigorous ap petite. "Pshaw," said he, "you might as well tell me to wash my face and be careful to leave off dirty." Mlechanisma of a Fish. People marvel at the mechanism of the human body, with its 492 bones and GO arteries, but man is simple in this respect compared with the carp That remarkable fish moves no fe" than 4,380 bones and muscles time it breathes.

The purest Chinese is spoken at Nan in and is called "the language of the mandarins." Don't allow yourself to become mel-I ancholy. Laugh once in awhile, wheth Why It Is Called Dutch Gar. When Ben Butler was endeavoring to get the Union gunboats up the James, he found the water in the bend at Dutch Gap too shallow to let them pass, to say nothing of the fact that the Confederates had erected two or three batteries along the bend'In order to give him a warm reception. So he went ahead and cut a canal across the neck and suddenly. instead of being 13 miles from IRichmond, he was only six. Ever since that time the canal has been used, and the government now considers it the channel of the river and keeps it in shape.. The plin tations along the land were thus sutd denly drained of their very lifeblood and have naturally fallen into decay. The place is called Dutch Grap be catse at this spot, in early coloni 1 days, a Dutchman worked a very sm1ooth gamie upon 1 the l unsuspetcting' Indian. The Dutchman wagered the Indian that he could beat hia paddling a canoe around the bend. The Inudian took hinm .up on the instant and gave him a mile the start. They started just above the bend. the lI t:ian a mile behind, and when the 1 utel:aan reach ed the neck he ji1mpe(d on shore. grab bed his canoe out of the water, ran across to the other side with it. drop ped it into the water again and c.dlmly awaited the arrival of the acstnished Indian, who had paddled frantically around the bend in the endeavor to catch up with him. What the wager was is not recorded, but the Dutchman doubtless got possession tc' 200.00) or 300,000 acres of land as a result of the trick.-Cor. Chicago 1:ecord. Made Fat by Wnter. There Is a six foot laundryman in Norristown who weighs 300O pounds. It is his own fault too. "When I was 1S," he will explain sad ly, "I was like a lead pencil. A thin ner fellow you never saw. I heard then that if I wished to get fat I need only to drink, morning and even ing, as much water as I could hold. I wanted very badly to get fat. so I be gan this water treatment. A pint or so was at first my limit, and even that nvould sicken me, but as time passed my capacity became greater. Soon I could drink two or three quarts, and in time I could as easily drink a gallon. Well, the result was excellent. I took on flesh at a great rate. I got. too. so that I enjoyed my long night and morning drinks. I would look forward to my gallon draft all through the day. When, after seven years. I had reach ed the nice weight of 170 pounds. I decided to stop the treatment. But, alas, I couldn't. The long habit had grown too strong. It had made me a slave. And ever since I have been drinking, night and morning. a gallon of water-I do enjoy it so-and every year I taken on from 15 to 20 pounds. Finally, I guess. I'll bust."-Philadel phia Record. Kicked on the Story. Probably most writers of serial sto ries are familiar with the sensation of receiving letters of conxnendation or disapproval from interested readers who are following up the stories as they appear in their regular weekly or monthly installments. Occasionally some curious person asks for private information as to what the outcome is to be, while others offer suggestions as to the disposition to be made of the villain or express a rear that the au thor is to marry the heiro to the wrong woman. The writer of a serial story' in one of the popular magazines a few years ago received the following letter from an indignant reqader. The names are changed for obvious reasons: Dear Sir--I take the liberty of telling you that I regard your "Simeon Stacy," now running through The Blank 3Magazine. as a little the thin nest novel I have read. Furthcrmore, the prin cipal character in the story, to whom you give the title role, so to speak, is so thoroughly de testable a ma that I have taken the most ef fective means in my power to show my contempt for him by changing my name-which happened to be the samte as his-to something as unlike it as possible. Yours truly, ANRtEW JA~COBSoN, Formerly Simeon Stacy. -Youth's Companion. His Plain Story Won. An ungroomed man slouched up to Smith in Farnum street the other day and accosted him as fellows: "Say, mister, If I was to tell you that I wanted a quarter to get a square meal you'd think I wanted it to buy whisky', wouldn't you?" "That's exactly what I would think," replied Smith. "And if I saidl I wanted a quarter to buy whisky you'd say you didn't pro pose to encourage the drink habit, wouldn't you ?" "That's what I'd say." "And if I said I wanted a quarter to buy food for a starving vilfe anid 11 children you'd think I wvas ai liar, wouldn't you?2" "I would." "Well, say, mister, I want a quarter to pay for having me mother-in-law's trunk hauled to the depot. Do I get it?' Smith effected a compromise by part. ing with a dime.-Omaha World-Her aid.

A Changed Man. "It's funny how marrying changes a man," said Spriggs' caller. "Yes," replied Spriggs dreamily. "It used to be that I was devoted to base ball and football and basket ball, and now I give all my spare time to baby's bawl," and he arose hurriedly and went into the adjoining room-Detroit Free Press.
