LEITER is a popular repre- sentative of a popular house. For eight years he has traveled for Max Meyer & Co., and enjoys the confidence of that firm. To say that Mr. Leiter is a genial and affable commercial man is but to echo the sentiments of all with whom he comes in contact. Histerri- tory lies through northern Nebraska and the Loup country, where he never presents himself without receiving a cordial welcome from the merchants, Few Omaha men sell more tobacco and cigars than Leiter. Mr. Leiter is a nephew of the junior partner in the well known firm of Field, Leiter & Co., formerly of Chicago, It may also be remarked, by way of parenthesis, that he has been called the Adonis of the road.

Although only about a year with the firm, his employers give him credit for having built up a first-rate trade. Previous to his joining the Clarke Coffee company he was engaged selling butter and soap for Fairbanks & Co., of this cigy, and many are the people throughout Nebraska who still sing Scott’s praises as a vender of but- terine.

Cornhill Magazi The oldest types of animals in _Australia are the orni- thorynchus and the echidna, the ‘‘beast with a bill” and the ‘‘porcupine ant- eater” of popular natural hi Theso curious creatures, genuine living fossils, occupy in some respects an intermedi- ate place between the mammals on the one hand and the birds and lizards on the other. The echidna hasno teeth and a very birdlike skull and body. The ornithorynchus has a bill like a duck’s, webbed feet, and a great many quaint anatomical peculiarities which closely ally it to the birds and reptiles. Both, in fact, are early arrested stages in the development of mammals from the old common vertebrate ancestor; they could only have struggled on to our own duy in a continent free from tho severe competition of the higher types which have since been evolved in Europe and Asin. Fven in Australia itself the ornithorhynchus and echidna have had to put up perforce with the lower places in the hierarchy of nature. The first is a burrowing and aquatic creature, specialized in athousand mi- nute ways for his amphibious life and queer subterranean hubits; the second, hedge hog-like nocturnal prowler, who buries himselfin the earth during the day and lives by night on insects, which he licks up greedily with his long. ribbon- like tongue. Apart from the s,ceiali- zations broughtabout by their necessary adaption to n particular niche in the economy of life, these two quaint and very ancient animals probably preserve for us in their general structure the fea- tures of an extremely early descendant of the common ancestors from whom mammals, birds and reptiles are origin- ally derived. and —_——— In another column of this issue will be found an entirely new and novel specimen of attractive advert It is one of the neatest ever placed in our paper, and we think our readers will be well repaid for examining the supposad display letters in the advertisement of Prickly Ash Bitters San Diego.
