CAN’T BUY THE BARGAINS.
Saleswomen Nos Allowed to Take id
vantage of Bargain Bale*.
I asked a young saleswoman who
served me in a large shop the othet
day whether the employes of the es
tablishment were allowed to take ad
vantage of the "bargain sales” in
buying gooda
‘ ‘I can’t speak for any other places,
was her reply, "but I know that we’re
not
"Why, what ehance would the pub
lic have after we’d had a whack at
the counter?
"There are over 600 women and
girls employed here, and the cream
of the bargains would be gone before
the customers had fought their way
through the front door.
"Of course, if we’re smart we eaa
send people here to buy for us.
“One girl did this some time ago,
but her friend got lost in the shuffle
and couldn’t crowd her way to the
oounter.
"So Mary Ann—she worked next to
me—got so wild that she gathered up
the things that she wanted and waved
'em at the woman as much as to say:
*00010 on, why don’t you?’
"But the floorwalker saw the whole
business, and it was ‘good-by, Mary
Ann.’”
THE OLD LOO SHANTY.
It Is Giving Way to tho Teaomsat la
the Cool Region.
I One charm of the anthracite coal re
| gion of Pennsylvania has almost dis
appeared, and that is the comfortable
and even picturesque log shanty of
the Irish miner. The best of these
were well chinked from the weather,
and within their flattened logs were
whitewashed and spotless. The floor
was scrubbed until it was nearly as
[ white as the walla On one side was
a great fireplace, with a large grate
piled high with perhaps 100 pounds of
glowing anthracite. Wrinkled old
Irish women, in the whitest of
starched caps, sat in front of the grate
knitting stout blue woolen stockings.
To the tiny breaker boys coming
heme on winter nights after a
hard day’s work these shan
ties, With their cheerful fires,
were welcome resting places,
where they might stand in front of
the fire unrebuked while black
streams ran from their grimy boots
over the shining floor. The shanties
have given place to formal tenements,
and the Irish miners are retreating
before thousands of even poorer la
borers from continental Europe,

"Mies Laborre,” Bald Mr. Askam, aft
*f they had confidentially discussed a
number of topics, “my object in call
ing upon you this evening Is to consult
-ou about a step l hope soon to take in
my Ufa It Is ,a step upward, and I
regard it as the most momentous one 1
aver contemplated. In short, my dear
Miss Laborre, I trust soon to bo—to
be married," says the Kansas City
World.
“Indeed, Mr. Askam!” Miss Laborre
■aid, assuming an Indifferent air, but
blushing slightly, “and upon what do
you wish to consult me?”
“Upon several subjects, my dear Miss
Laborre,” answered Mr. Askam, rising
from his chair and seating himself be
side her on the sofa. “First, I should
ttfce to know whether you consider It
Is possible for two people to live com
fortably on $3,600 a year.”
“Oh, yes. Indeed, Mr. Askam,” Miss
Laborre replied, quickly. “If two peo
ple love each other that Is more than
enough.”
“I am indeed delighted to hear you
■ay so,” said Mr. Askam fervently.
Secondly, do you think that you—that
your mother and you, after living here
together so long, could bear to be sep
arated T”
“It wouldn’t be as though we really
were separated, living In the same city,
you know, Mr. Askam,” returned Miss
Laborre, thoughtfully. “Yes, I am sure
neither of us would mind It so very
much.”
“That’s a brave young lady,” cordial
ly responded Mr. Askam, patting the
back of her hand affectionately, as It
lay la her lap, “that’s a brave girl.
And, thirdly, do you think a man of 47,
my age, Miss Laborre, too old to get
married—especially If there Is little, If
any, discrepancy In the ages 7”
“Oh, oh, you Insulting thing!”
screamed Miss Laborre, springing to
her feet. “You know I am not 23.”
- “Certainly, my dear,” responded the
astonished Mr. Askam, mildly, “cer
tainly, but your mother must be nearly
as old as I am.”
“You have been speaking of my
mother?” demanded Miss Laborre,
tragically.
“Of course,” said Mr. Askam, looking
bewildered, “I thought It only fair, as
you are the bread winner, to consult
you first. Why, who do you think 1
meant?”
HE HAD TO BE CAREFUL.

I* Ha Fuyot That Password.
From the Washington star: "What
Id the matter?" asked one of Mr. Vlv
vies' boon companions; “yon htmn'l
taken the pledge, have you?"
“No. But I'm not looking on the
wine when it’s red In the cup, just the
same.”
"Reformed, have you?”
“Yep. You've heard of a woman’*
marrying a man with the idea of getting
him to stop drinking. It doesn't always
work; but it did in my case. My wife
is a stupendously clever woman.”
"Made you promise, did she?”
"She didn’t have to. When I started
down town to-night She said: ‘I’ve lost
the latch-key, dear, but it won't make
any difference. You ring the bell and
I’ll let you in.' I said, 'All right.’
‘Only,’ she said, *we’d better agree on
some password, so that when you ring
I can look out of the window and make
sure it isn’t a burglar.’ *Of course,’ said
I; ‘what’ll the password, be?’ ‘I have
It,’ she answered; ‘it mustn’t be too
simple. You just say "irrepressible
reprehensibility" and then I’ll come
down and let you in.’ Gentlemen, if I
can’t say Irrepressible reprehensibility
when I get home I don’t get in, and,
moreover. I assume the chances of be
ing taken for a housebreaker. I’ve
simply got to be careful." And he went
ever and resolutely seated himself next
to the ice water tank.
That* Inst Drank.
John Davis, on* of the largest ride*
makers in Indiana, recently killed thir
teen coons under very peculiar circum
stances. Mr. Davis* cider mill is built
of wood and stands away from his
house. He was awakened during the
night by a noise in the mill and upon
Investigation found that thirteen coons
were on the inside, drinking cider. He
fastened the door and locked them In
and went to bed. When he got up the
next morning he took the coon dog and
several hands and began the killing.
He found the coons drunk and under
going ail stages of Jags. The scone was
a most peculiar one. They had rolled
the barrels over, which had been left
open to allow the cider to work. They
had then drank themselves full of hard
cider.
Opinions on Tnut
"It is much harder to examine and
Judge than to take up opinions on trust ;
and therefore the far greatest part of
the world borrow from others those
which they entertain concerning all the
affairs of life and death. Hence it pro
ceeds that men are so unanimously
eager in the pursuit of things, which,
far from having any inherent real good,
are varnished o’er with a specious and
deceitful gloss, and contain nothing
answerable to their appearance. Hence
It proceeds on the other hand, that, in
those things which are called evils,
there is nothing so hard and teittble as
the general cry of the world threatens.
Thus the multitude has ordained. But
the greatest part of their ordinances are
abrogated by the wise.”—Boliagbroke.
