THE COLLECTOR WHO KNEW

An Illn.tratton of the Daager o( Being Too Self Confident. --- “The trouble with you fellows Is you want things, but you know nothing about,’em. You come over here and carry home a lot of truck that a European collector Wouldn’t give house room, and when you see a really good thing you don’t know It, or you won’t pay a price for it unless some dealer makes yon. Yan see,„JCB? don’t know; that’s what’s the matter; how can you? Nobody in America wanted antiques before the Centennial.' IT you’d lived here twenty years, like me, you’d learn something, you’d find out that collecting isn’t a thing of money, but knowing.” We had been walking in Venice down a narrow calle while the collector was speaking. “Look at that old brass scale,” he resumed, pointing to a fish stall in the little outdoor market on which we had just emerged. “There’s a gem, not very old, but of the finest seventeenth century Venetian work. If you saw that in a New York dealer’s, all cleaned up, you’d give up a good deal for it; t*nt you’d ’a’ passed It by a dozen times If I hadn’t spoken about it. See that old junk stand over there? I never pass a thing like that. You can never tell what you may pick up—if you only know.” We had scarcely reached the stand when the collector thrust out his hand with the swiftness of a hawk darting on itß prey, and swooped upon a little Jewel box. “Carnelian! Russian, I should say, from the Ural mountains. It’s not of great value, but it’s a pretty little thing, if it was cleaned up. It’s mine, anyway.” To the keeper of the stall: “Quanto?” The Venetian slowly uncoiled himself and came down from the church steps, where he had been sleeping. “Does the signore want the pretty trifle? The signore knows its value better than I, and he’ll be generous?” “I’ll give you a lira,for it. It isn’t worth it, but one mustn’t be hard with the poor.” “I had hoped I should get five!” “Well, I’ll make it two.” "It is the signore’s.” “There, you see!” exultingly chuckled the collector. “That’s what it is to know. An exquisite carnelian Russian jewel casket for 40 cents! You’d never llgve thought of looking among a lot of rusty old iron for a thing like that, would you?” While speaking he held the box with a miser’s clutch. “May I see it, please??” He reluctantly handed It to me as though fearing I might make a sudden dash down the calle with his treasure. “Phew!” said I contemptuously, handing the box back to him. “It’s not carnelian at all. It’s glass, nothing but glass.” “Glass!” drawing a magnifier from his waistcoat pocket and mutely examining the purchase. “I’m—l’m—afraid—it is!” he said sheepishly. “Of course it is.” “I—don’t know,” sadly. “Yes, it is glass! You see, it’s so dirty. Oh, well, we all make mistakes at times. Do you want it?” disgust taking the place of sadness. “You can have it for a quarter.” “Well, I guess it’s worth a quarter.” I think my eyes must have snapped. “Yes.” And that is how an almost unique example of the cinque cento came into my collection of Venetian glass.—New York Post.

Honesty In Perfection.

To find honesty In Its full perfection It is said that one mast go to the Welsh colliers of the Ogmore valley, who travel by a workmen’s train which runs from Maesteg to Abergwynfl every morning and returns in the evening. There are heavy penalties for taking pipes and matches down the pit, so when the trglo reaches its destination in the morning every smoker lays bis pipe on the seat, and when he returns in the evening it ip exactly where he left It During the day the coaches are shunted to a siding, the doors are not locked, but there is no single Instance of a pipe having been stolen.—London Answers.

A Fit Subject.

Mrs. De Jarr—ls there an Idiot asylum near here? Mr. De Jarr—l believe so. “Do they take people on their own recommendation ?” “My stars! How should 1 know? Why? “Oh, nothing, only today I got hold of 'a package of my old love letters.”— New York Weekly.

A Friend In Need.

Wederly—Did I understand you to say that Enpeck Is a relative of yours? Singleton—You did. He’s my stepfriend by marriage. Wederly—Stepfriend! Why, how’s that? Singleton—lie stepped In and eloped with the girl I was engaged to.—Exchange.

His Locust.

“O’Brien sis ho bos bln carryln’ the same stick lver since he lios bln on the force.” “How long has tbot bin?” “Slvlntane years.” “Bedrid, nt must be a slvlntane year locust I”—Philadelphia Record.

A Musical Accompaniment.

“Don’t you think Will haa a musical laugh?” “Indeed I do! I notice he a! way a laughs when you try to sing.”— Denver News. Nearly every person yon meet Is looking for “encouragement," but the most successful men have found it necessary to encourage themselves Atchison Globe.

Letter To J. W. Williams.

Rensselaer Ind. Dear Sir: There are two sorts of furniture. You know both; for yon sell’em both. Ooe sort looks better than it is, the other is better than it looks. There isn’t any other sort. The same, two sorts of paint, no more; and we make’em both—wo make tone of stuff that isn’t worth its freight. Belongs to the business—have to. Belongs to your business—have to. But this is aside. We put into oans, with our name on, the very beat paint there is in the world: Devoe Ready Paint. It is twice as good as lead and oil: lasts twice as long, And we take the risk of it, there isn’t any risk. - Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co
