The door closed oa the young couple as they walked slow- ly along the thick carpet waiting for that lordly personage, the head wadter, to assign, them to a Place. This astute personage instantly sized them up as a recently wedded couple end, beckon- ed theni to an ideal spot, a cozy little table In a corner, lialf surrounded by. palms. There they were (shut in from prying eyes and shot out of the hurry and noise of the rest of the world. As a work of supererogation the. head Waiter brought a bowl of white roses and with an unctuous smile, directed at no one in particular, set them in the, center of the tabre, and this called up a pretty blush on the fair one's cheeks.

This last was said with just the least little bit of spirit, ' Besides, she was bungry; so was he. • That fact may pardon his next words, spoken with! whatt he thought a noble and masterful air: "It is time you learned then.

The waiter came to Jilin with the tray, on which werl) two plates of soup, and all the coucomitants belonging . thereto and the proper wine. The waiter entered. the tiny place and de- posited the things with a grave busi- nesslike air; putting a card at each place, and then discreetly retired. Clinton scarcely noticed the arrival of the man, but honeybun saw him. The soup looked good, and the little card ;aught her eye: She was the one woman In this generation with a keen sense of humor/ She began to .eat. Clinton now turn.ed Squarely and looked' at the table. He jumped to the conclusion that she had relented and had been adroit enough be give the order unperceived, but, 'though he would condescend to eat, and the Soup smelled very good, he would not let her enjoy her triumph ton soon, so he took his soup In digntfied silence. The next course was ready as soon VS he was. On one large platter filled with chopped ice were placed sixteen small clams arranged to spell the words: "LOVE ONE ANOTHER" One small clam officiated as a peried. Ms arrangement was too obvious.. int- peclally asathe waiter set the dish so the words *mild read. The little clams went where all good clams should go, and two 'hearts began to soften insen- sibly. Two squabs, nestling side by side on toast, were accompanied by two cards bearing the legendi "PEACE ON EARTH." The salad was delicious, the entrees a dream, and with each eourse came two cards with some sentiment calcu- elated to remind the recipients of the day. Honeyboy pushed his cards In- gloriously away, but honeybun gath- ered hers in a neat heap. The last Course -was 'ice cream—very pink—and molded into the shape of a large heart with a white ribbon tied in a true lov- er's knot around it, but the heart was broken through the midd1e and press. ed apart deftly. A single card read: "tHRISTMAS NIGHT. PEACE AND GOOD WILL. GET TOGETHER." Even Clinton neve saw, but he thought this was all the clever work of honeybute Ile looked at her.

In 1805 the terms of peace /between Prance and Austria were argued and agreed to on Christmas. In these Aus- tria was forced to Make gdveral large gifts of territory to Franee, and.iltaly to acknowledge Napoleon as king of Italy. The United States forces began their withdrawal from Charleston, S.- C., to Port 8umter on Christmas, 1860. Under duress from 'the powers, Tur- kel, on Christmas, 1876, gave , out a new constitution for the whole Otto-, man empire, which granted Christiane equal rights with alohammedaes—st de- eree, by the way, which the sultan be- gan cheerfully to disobey. ao eoon as the duress was reseloved.

FERR1N 0 one welcomys the adveat of the holiday season more heart- fly than the Sidewalk mere cheat of the city, the .street fakir, for, while he seems to flourish like a green bay tree all the year round, at ChriStmas time he reaps his . greet harvest of pennies, nickels and 1 dimes. The hearts of even the most parsimonious open with the approach of Christmas, and purse strings loosen as at no iother time. Ot every corner and between corners these curbstone nomads are surrounded by admiring and purchasing citizens, and "novel- ties," fromrubber pigs which can be inflated to the size of a small balloon mad' in exhausting their airy contetts squeal like a real porker, to elaborate mechanical toys, sell like hot cakes. Every year distinct features of this queer trade come to the surface and are put on the -market simultaneously by fakirs throughout the country. The factories in which these things are made work overtime to meet the de- mand of the shrill voiced "barkers" who personify Santa Claus to the chil- dren of the city. New York is the great headquarters of the fakirs, and, they visit it atleast once a year to arrange for the novelties of the ensuing Oason and,to do a little business in the me- tropolis itself. There are several large jobbers In the city who deal exclusively with the sidewalk peddlers, and they Issue, volinninous catalogues describing thousands of articles suitable for sale on the street. Every fakir carries one of these books, and when he runs out of stock he sends an order to bis firm, whicb is filled by return express. On most of the things he handles the fakir makes a/ profit of 100 per cent and sometimes more than that. Ar- ticles sold for a dime are usually ' bought for a nickel, and those which sell fOr a nickel for 21/2 cents. Occa- sionally, however, when some novelty makes a real hit, the manufacturers Put up the price until the fakir's profit is only a cent on each sale. , The old time favorite, the jumping jack, evolved into a sailor who climbs a rope band over hand; dirigible tin raice, kissing bugs, lobsters and craos, papier mache frogs which jump like the hero a Mark Twain's!famous story, all end a ready market,' while ()heap ,1 perfumery, Chriotmas cards and lead, soldiers are pedoied in vast quantities.. Just where the fakir gets, his title is. a mooted question.' The real fakir, whose habitat is India, is a person of religious consequence and has nothing to do with "fakes" unless it be that he performs wonderful tricks which owe tbeir euccess to. sleight of hand rather than Ito the influence of the gods by whom, the fakir: as professedly actuated. However, fakir Is as good a name for the itinerant vender as any other, and Its eiymology doesn't matter much: Some Of the fakirs make enough by their Petty trade to graduate into man- - ufactUrers of Christmas novelties ' or even into a higher Rae of business, and it is ,! well Mown that one of the wealthiest men of New Orleans, who owns 'sugar plantations. stores and fac- 4 TILE FAKIR AT twee. tories, once peddled sho'estrings.
