SIDEWALK IS THEIR MARKET
Where All Sorts of Goods Are Disposed
of by New York's
"Down and Outs."
At the Bowery approach to the Williamsburg
bridge may be witnessed an
interesting sight at any hour of the
day, says the New York Times. This
Is the gathering of near down-and-outs
disposing of what is left of their
wardrobes and who, being poor salesmen,
usually take what is offered and
not what they expected to get.
The other morning there were four
on hand. One had three frayed silk
f two nairs of more or less worn
trousers and three sets of silk underwear.
He asked 50 cents each for the
shirts and took $1 for the three. The
trousers brought 75 cents the pair,
while he had much trouble in disposing
of the silk underclothing at 25
cents a garment.
Another had a fur-lined coat which
wasn't so very awful looking. He
tried his best to get $5 for it and held
en for nearly an hour. Finally- a motorman
came along and, after digging
in every crevice of his pockets, produced
$4.78. This won the coat.
A ragged fellow had three razors,
for which he asked $1 each. A big fellow
with wiry whiskers wanted a
razor but wasn't willing to pay the
price. He offered 45 cents, then 50. He
bought for 60.
This "market" is held in the open,
on the sidewalk, and the police do not
appear to care, for there is never any
interference.
GEORGE HAD ANOTHER GUESS
Old Gentleman Had Also Been Doing
Some Thinking About the High
!Cost of Living.
A congressman who is investigating
the high cost of living said to a Washington
correspondent:
"The h. c. 1. is responsible for many
vagaries and queer complications.
"A young chap who had got engaged
to a girl was talking over the
future with her.
" 'With prices what they are,' said
the girl, 'we must be content, George,
dear, with a small flat and one or, at
the most, two servants.'
"George coughed.
" 'It's my idea,' he said, 'to live with
your old man the first couple of
years.'
"'But, George?'
"That's my idea,' he Interrupted.
Think df the money we can save. No
rent, no light, no grub bills, no coal.'
" 'But?'
" 'I insist on this thing,' George interrupted
again. *1 tell you, I?'
"Then the door opened softly and
the girl's father entered the room.
" 'Children,' he said tenderly, 'I have
decided that when you get married
Til come and live with you for the
rest of my life.'"
Salmon Saved Queen.
The salmon with a ring in its mouth,
ftat figures in the arms of the city of
Glasgow, Scotland, which are also
those of the ancient see, is said to
record a miracle of St. Kentigern, the
founder of the see, and the fourth
bishop of Glasgow. A certain queen
gave a soldier, with whom she had
fallen in love, a ring that had been
presented to her by her consort; but
the king discovered the intrigue, and,
having obtained the ring, threw it into
the Clyde, and then demanded It of
his disloyal lady.
In her alarm she sought help from
St Kentigern, and he, proceeding to
the river, forthwith caught a salmon,
which, on being opened, was found to
have swallowed the all-important
Jewel. The queen regained the good
graces of the king, and lived a better
life afterward.
Believed Victims of Indians.
Three skeletons, believed to be those
tot early American settlers were unearthed
at Kennebunkport. Me., by
workmen leveling some land near an
eld fort erected during the war of
1812. Two apparently were victims of
Ihdian massacres or wars. Embedded
In the skull of one of the skeletons
was an Indian arrow. The tip of the
kull of the second was chipped off
cleanly, as if done by a tomahawk
held in a well-trained hand. The third
keleton was that of a man seven feet
tall. It is believed that the bodies
were buried In an old cemetery on this
pot, and that the graves were covered
over by earth thrown up when
the fort excavations were being made.
About the oeaa sea.
Swimming in the Dead sea Is refreshing
sport, but swimmers have to
be careful not to get water into their
eyes. In a ton of water from the Caspian
sea there are 11 pounds of salt,
in a ton from the Atlantic ocean there
are 31 pounds, from the Mediterranean,
85 pounds; but in a ton of the Dead
6ea there are 187 pounds. Contrary
to a prevailing belief, there are plains
on the shores of the Dead sea that are
so fertile and well watered that as
soon as one crop is harvested anothef
can be planted; but as a whole, the
basin is a dreary region.?Youth's
Companion.
Girl Studies to Be Blacksmith.
A girl junior at the University of
Washington is learning the blacksmith's
trade. Jazz is no lure to her,
for the anvil chorus fills her ear and
she looks forward to owning and operating
a forge and a farm of her own.
The desire to master blacksmithing
arose from her resolve to be a farmer,
and as such to know something of machinery,
So she studies the fashioning
of bolts and ban and the pointing
si plowshare* .

Everywhere the Republic
Grande Cord Tire is being
accepted without question?
because of the good name it
bears.
A.nd people are finding that
it is true to its name; that it,
also, actually does last longer.
. a
The reasons, of course, are
the toughened tread of Prodium
Rubber, and the rugged
cord construction with specially
strengthened side-walls.
