"Sweet sixteen" must take a back seat,
as the Americans say. The (esthetes
declare that the quite too-too ago of quiv-i
ering sensibility and sudden sympathy is
two-find twenty. It is impossible, they
say,to be ''utterly-utter," before that age.
For a nobby suit go to Low
enberg's. "Yes, gentlemen, ccrtainly,of course,"
said a polite clothier, "if you want a pair
of pants, step right up to my pantry, if a
vest, walk right into my vestry : and if
a coat here, Jacob, show this gentle
man into the coterie. This way gentle
men, this way."
For a, new style bat go to Lowenberg's.

Schenectady man's oxDerieuce while
coasting in a scoop shovel, making tho
lust cut time on record, in thus related :
Not many evenings ago, a well known
resident of this citv. accompanied bv his
ft "
wife and a steel bcooii shovel, was iour-
k. t
neying down town from Pago Hill, when,
upon arriving at the summit of the Ham
ilton etreet hill which was a glare of
ice from summit to foot the man jok
ingly remarked to the lady that "it
wouldn't be a bad idea to ride in the
shovel."
"You couldn't," said tho woman.
"Pshaw 1" Yes I could. I could go."
and to illustrate he straddled the handle,
which he grasped with both hands, and
carefully seated himself iu the shovel.
'Then raising his feet he showed how ho
could "steer himself, and said "I could
go just ns easy as anything."
"Why, so you could." acauiesced his
wife, and then giving him a sudden
shove, she added : "aud there you go."
Hamilton street hill is the steeliest, the
4
icest and "slipperiest" of all Schenoetady
hills, and the way the scoop shovel
took that man down was a sight t be
hold.
The fatuous lightning express trains
were slow pokes in comparison to that
scoop shovel.
So fast did it travel that in less than
tu o seconds time both shovel and man
had disappeared from view of the wife.
Hut a second later she was startled by
seeing what appeared to be a ball of fire
rushing at a lightning speed toward the
toot ot the lull, and although considera
bly frightened, the woman managed to
descend the hill and instituted a search
for her husband. !
She found the shovel, which lav appa
rently exhausted in a small puddle of
melted snow.
A short distance fiirthershe discovered
he r poor husband seated in a snow-bank
and groaning terribly. Even in the
larkness she noted the erpresMou of
agony upon his face. ,
"Maria, he murmured, "my Sunday
pants nre ruined."
Isot another word was t.nokeu. but
ft
when the shovel had become Bufliciently
cool, they started for home carefully
selecting the darker sides of the least
frequented streets.
The man went directly to bed aud his
toes were turned toward the springs.
i he shovel has recovered, but the man
still stands up during meal time.
The latest stvle of neck-wear
always on hand at Lowenberg's.
A doctor recently restored the speech
of a woman w'.m had been dumb for
seven years, and the last seen of him he
was sitting on a rail fence picking the
buckshot out of his head, while tho in
furiated husband was hustliug toward
home to reload his gun.
