REUBEN WRITES TO FLANEUR.--
The following letter from Walton,
, signed "Reuber," and written to
" Flaneur," sppeared in last Satur-
, day's Mall and Empire : " Dear
Flaneur,—Ae there were a great
, many people the other morning going
down from our locality to your ex-
.1,pibitlon, f thought d would also take
n the trip, and, thinking over my
visit to the city, I thought I could
not do , better than write to you,
.whose ppge I enjoy eo much every
week, and tell you what a delightful
time I spent in your city. Being a
et,[anger and entirely dependent on
the courtesy of the citizens of Toronto
for information in regard to any
locality or place of interest, wo were
charmed with the unfailing courtesy
with whioh we were everywhere met,
from the burly policeman to the small
boy on the street corner. Everyone
was kind, courteous and obliging
and, where information was asked
for, one would be dense, indeed, did
one not understand the very definite
directions which were always given.
In one of the large stores this was
particularly noticeable, and, indeed,
in this store the system and attend•
ante is so complete that shopping,
which is genarallya wearisome task,

becomes a pleasure. We have often
beard reflections cast on the manners
of the city salespeople, bat some uf
our elerke in towns and villages
would do well to Imitate these people,
whose lives are neceaurtly so much
more arduous than thein. We not-
iced a rather amusing instance In this
store one evening. Two ladies ball-
ed a gentleman In the furniture de-
partment, and one of them explained
that she had lost a 50 -cent piece,
which she was positive was under,
one of the massive refrigerators.
The gentleman, good-naturedly, oom-
meneed removing the refrigerators,.
but his search proved unavailing.
Presently he went in search of assist.
ante, and returned with a portly
gentleman, who was, es nearly as we
could gather, the manager of the
department. This gentleman threw
his dignity to the winds and, getting
down on his hands and knees, com-
menced a vigorous search for the
missing coin. Imagine the lady's •
chagrin, the gentleman's disgust, and
the bystanders' amusement when the
gentleman finally drew from the
dust under one of the refrigerators
the loot coin, which proved to be a
one -cent piece, The lady was pro-
fuse in her apologies, which were
graciously accepted by her victim.
Another clave who we were pleased
to see, preserved their equanimity
under very trying eircamstances,
were the elevator men. More than
once, when the elevator was going
at a rapid rate, we have seen some
unfortunate creature, unused to the
rapid transit (and, by the way,
generally a man), grab the man at
the wheel in such a manner as to
utterly disable him for a few mom-
enta. The embraces, however, were
recetved with unfailing good -humor,
although they must have been rather
Inconvenient. We must not forget
to mention the street car employes
Although harassed with enquhioe on
every hand, these men preserved an
outwardly calm exterior, though
inwardly, we have no doubt, they
were as ravening wolves. On one
occasion the conductor passed his hox
to a newly -arrived passenger. He
was obliged in so doing to stand in a
poaltion from which he was unable
to command a view of the passenger.
After waiting for what seemed to us,
before whom his brawny aria was
stretched, an interminable tune, we
were all amused to see him lean
forward and say, 'Hold on, madam,
this box is not for transfers.' The
lady had folded up her transfer and
was patiently trying to push It inti
the hex. But It would take to long
to tell you all the funny things we
saw and heard, but we are firmly
resolved that if we have the pumpkins
, threshed in time next year we will
' again take in the glorious exhibition."
