"WliiU will they dor

"What irnoil la this old rn7"
"Soma of that la bought by rti

"Well, now lu-rc'a aa old KpanUh
bell, big and Una toud. Where did
you gi't that and what will you do
with It?"
"That la from a Porto Birun church.
It vraa brought in aa old metal, for
the tongua tvos out, Still, it waa
1'ii-y to put a tonguo In, and so the
duly wm aavatl."
"And whti'h of our otftVrra atol a

"What 11 m ia tliia maty old chain?"
"There arc aome hoata that buy
nothing except accond-hiind muti-rtnl,
an thiiac chaina aril to thruL When
they are too nuny thr go for old

"Wlint aort of people buy thfie
tnmpa and Inn tarns"
"Thoae arc ehla' lantrrna.
Wealthy people buy them for curioa."
"What ia the difference between
junk nnil antlqura''"
"Ahl You'll have to ak the Tif
avenue 'art. dealcra' about that,
many and mnny a battered bit they
get from ua fur a anng and aell for a
fnnry flgure. but you're In the
wrong ahnp to learn about junk. Go
'round and aee the man In Front

"Junk, air; no, air, ttita Isn't a junk
ehop. Far from It, air," anld the timu
In Front atreet. "A junk dealer ia a
man ho goea about in a anmll bout
and buy a cniit-nlT thinga from vrMla.

"Well, what would you call thia e
tahliahment?"
The Front atrect man thought for
awhile before he rqilled; "I would
coll It a curio emporium."
"So! And may I aak wliat In the
world rnu do with gum that are aa
old and aa rusty aa theae in a curio
emporium?"
"Those ure "not io bad aa they look.
They can be cleaned up and will kill
jiiKt aa well aa they did during the
civil war."
"Who buy them?"
"All aorta of behlncl-the-age peo
ple. Take one of those guna Into
the mountains of Virginia, an It will
be modern. They're atill using' flint
lock there. All through houth
America and Africa there'll a aalo for

too. I sold 200 of them last week to
a man in the China trade. Ilia Arm

"i'.ut aome of theae are rusted to
pieces." '
"Well, they either serve aa curioa
or aa old Iron. When they're too bad
for anything else, they are melted
down and begin hfe over nain."
"What guna are thoae with the long
barrels?"
"Arab, Notice the broad butta.

the dny before yesterday, I didn't
think anything of It; wouldn't even
give him two dollar. He aaid he
would leave II with me anyhow. Well,
that gun turned out to be tins very
weapon a Montcluir (X, J.) man waa
looking f ir. He waa delighted with
It, and when I charged him $12 he
paid me five dollars on account to
bind the bargain. Ile'a going to
mount It on a atand In hla hall, and
when people arein to have any (louli'n

In Africa ha can show them the ele

"This cannon here I believe V be
the oldest in the country. It Ia made
of fine bronze, aim the date on it la
1C31. We got it from I'orto Hico."
After duly admiring the old cun
non there waa a tour of discovery that
extended all over the warehouse.,
where, b'npid up from floor to ceil
ing, throughout the five atorlea, waa
what at Hist appeared to be the most
uimuitig aggregation of rubbish ever
assembled under one roof.
Thia first Impression waa hardly
accurate, however, in apite of eob
weba and dust and the presence of a
ast quantity of utterly useleaa
things, the place waa full of treas
ures. ISalrs and boxes and packing
case full of aea stores of all aorta
Unit hud never been optiiid were n at
tered all about
"They don'' know what they've got,"
eald the solitary aalcstnan of the es
tablishment, who acted aa guide, re
ferring to the proprietor. '"lliey
throw these thmga lu here any old
way and then forget about them.
They're too busy downstaira making
heap of money to think about
them."
Confusion waa everywhere abso
lute. Not the least attempt at c la. ni
ne n lion had been made. Here waa a
gun carriage in sections; a pile of old
ii ii i forms; a packing case three-quarter
full of army caps; a mams of Jap
anese lily bullae that had spoiled; a
quarter of a Ion of toap; a great
quantity of slum blacking; a box of
white huta, such aa are used iu the
navy; boxes of tinned sausagca, mure
boxes nf jams anil jellies; e isles of
fruit that hud dried and mildewed;
heupe of boots that had never been
worn and probably never would be,
o compactly had the apidera bound
them with their cobwebs. A mound
of books waa ou one of the Doom, a
mound of phntogrnpha on another,
and in a little room by themselves a
collection of paintings, ; aome very
well framed and aome not framed at
all. Of course, one of them waa "on
old master." Thia collection waa
aHiken of with awe by the salesman.
"They're all masterpiece," he aaid.
"That big one there'a a Van Dyck."
Aa the exploration extended the
guide quit lust hla bearings, and the
discoveries were aa real to him aa to
the reporter.
"Whot's in thia iKirrel?" he queried,
striking a match and peering Uown at
aome shining black r.tufT.
"Oh, yes!" he exclaimed, suddenly
recollecting. "lt'a gunpowder
enough to blow the whole place to
kingdom come."
Drape of loose ammunition were
encountered at various points, and na
there are acveral cats, to any noth
ing of rats, roaming about, an ?xplo
aion woifld not be very supiining un
der the circiitnstiuiceti, the cartridgea
being of the detonating nriety.
"Why don't you establish aome kind
of order here?" aktd the writer, wip
ing away a veil of cobweba tt. nad
fallen about hia face.
"No time." aold the guide. "There
are only three of ua in thia big
place."
"I'd never reat till I found out what
I had nnd arranged It after a fashion,
the clothing In one piace and the
provisions In another, and ao on."
"Then you wouldn't nnko ao much
money aa the bona," responded the
guide.
' "But there'a auch a deal here that'
absolutely going to waate."
"There's pleuty more where it came
from."
"Where did It come from?"
"Government auction aales. mostly;
then aheriffs' sales and private auc

quires an advocate in the lower

committees we are dependent on
M . Tongue or some one else .outsidi

The above- illustrates the situa
