Fiem the Detroit Free 1'iess,
About a week age a stranger entered a
clothing stere en Michigan a enue, and asked
for ene second-handed suspeiidors.The dealer
loekod at lilm for something less than half
an hour and then breke out with : " What
blace de you dake me for? Oefl keep
seme soceiid-handed stispcnders, de you
supposel cut 'em apart?" "Isn't it your
object te eblige the public ?" asked the man.
' I likes te sell goets, of course, but nobody
comes In hore undasks me ler ene panC leg."
Certalnly net, but this Is a dillercnt case.
Some men weai two suspenders seme one.
I belong te the ene suspender class of hu
manity. Se did Shakespeare, Milten, Ily Ily
ren, Dickens and ethers. Is it right for you
tn cater for ene class and exclude the ether?"
I I sells you ene pair of susponders ut cost"
"Ine or buy what I don't want I want
ene suspeniier, aim j-ii nev uutuajMir.
" Vhell, I don't soil 'cmdel ay?" "I'll
will gle you time te think ecr it"
said the stranger. " Thore Is no occasion for
haste, as I am new wearing a clothesline
around my waist GIe tlie matter due
thought and serious reflection." "It's no
use. l cleiri seu coin Wilis muuiu uur uuav,

The next day the man roturned and re re

any sleoves?" Indignantly exclaimed the
clothier; mid the placid stranger placidly re
plied: "Take another day te think eer it..
View the subject from all sides. It neer

turned en his errand, and yesterday a police

I'll give you aohance te keep out of the coelei !
It you ceme here again you are geed for thirty

man." "Dees he exclude the one-suspender
class?" "He docs." "And hasmade up his
mind te cater te the ether ?" "I prcsume he
has." "Very well, then. I have noerworn
