The following letter from Air. Willlamsoi
of Cincinnati is self explanatory :
CINCINNATI , Juno 15. To the editor of Tin
Bitis :
The great store of Jno. Shllllto & Co. , It
this city , closes every Saturday al 12 in , ( lin
ing the months of Juno , July and August. I
has done so for three years. So hai
Oskamps , iho well known jeweler. A member
bor of iho firm In the former case told mi
loony lhal smco adopllng iho rule Ihoy dc
fully ns much business in iho half of iho da :
as limy did In the full day.
The better Impulses of human nature si
Icutly upurovo the liberal brotherly splrl
which prompts a movement of this kind unt
of which a Saturday half holiday , Ui Its in
ccptiou ul least , Is an illustration. 'Asa ro
suit men turn from iho houses which rofusi
and which Ihoy formerly palronizod and bo
slow incir palroiuga upon the other. This
is iho natural conclusion with reference tc
the Increase in business noted in the case o :
Oskamps above.
1 am a friend to Saturday half holiday :
during the summer months. A hard ser
vice In a store clerk's shoos sqvoral year :
ago made mo so.
Omaha should not bo behind the cast
orn cities in this respect. In many thing :
modern the eastern cities look to iho wcsi
for example.
If Saturday half holidays nro not nlrcad >
a reality as a result of iho recent aglta ioi
I hope there will bo no relenting in thoeffor
until they ore a fact. Very truly ,

It was nearly 0 o'clock , but the bustling
tide ot "bargain hunting" humanity that
had jostled through the big dry goods store
since early morning showed no signs of
diminution. It packed the elevators to
suffocation and filled the stairways with n
terraced mass of busy , hurrying people. It
Burged from the silk department to the rlo-
bon counter , nnd thence back to face count
less pairs of hosiery and gloves. It poured
in impatient rank and Hie between tlio rows
of long counters pricing hero chattering
and quibbling there breathless , petulant
and novcr satisfied.
Behind the counters the clerks wearily en
deavored to keep pace with the demands of
the customers. They -woro half concealed
behind piles of goods that they could not
llfid time to replace bufor'o n fresh purchaser
demanded their attention. Piles of dross
goods accumulated now disorder as they
were overturned again and again. Handker
chiefs , ribbons nnd miscellaneous stacks of
small articles wcro piled in Indiscriminate
confusion , and the weary , clerks clasped
tlieir bauds to their aching-heads nnd won
dered if the long day would over end.
Wlilnn of Soclnl Votaries.
It was such a scene ns may bo witnessed
any day in ono of the big mercantile houses
where the fomlnlno nubile is busily engaged
In purchasing its summer supply of the
thousand and ono articles which lend at
tractiveness to the summer girl nnd votary
of fashion. During these warm Juno days the
average shoiipor is not the most easily satis-
fled person in the world. It requires n day of
observation to fully realize the trials of tem
per and spirit which environ the small army of
young women , who for nearly twelve hours
of the twenty-four are obliged to study nmt
humor the notions and peculiarities of the
woman who is half distracted between the
respective merits of a half dozen shades of
summer drapery , and somehow never finds
Just the ouo she wants. It is not the aggra
vation of a minute , or of an hour , but it con
tinues all day long for six days in the week.
Is it any wonder that the shop girl at , times
finds it dlfllcnlt to retain the suave nnd oblig
ing disposition which her customers invari
ably demand ?
That the worry and uorvous strain inci
dent to such occupation has n tendency to
impair the health and undermine the nerv
ous system is npparont to the ordinary ob.
server. The results are moro especially
marked upon the female system in which
many and various ills are attributed by
physicians to the continued standing in the
heat , and often insuilliiipatventilution.of the
crowded stores. Ml

No prosecutions , however , have beer
brought under the above provisions , and il
may bo doubted:1 : if half the proprietors
of largo establishments cinplovingwmatii
wage earners in the state are aware thai
sucli law appears upon the statute books
During the past few years many of the largi
dry goods stores have provided'seats foi
their feinalo clerks which they arc allowoc
to occupy when there is a lull in trade , bill
the innovation has come about moro as the
result of recent agitations of hygienic ques
tions than from any effect which the law
might have had.
In the course of a trip through the leading
dry goods establishments of Omaha a BEI
reporter found a marked diversion in tin
methods of the proprietors in this rcspccl
and a correspondingly decided difference ol
opinion as to the advisability of providing
seats for the clerks. At ono largo establish'
mont , which was among the first visited , II
was found that the law was strictly ob
served. The manager stated that a stoo
was provided for every fcmalo employe , nol
altogether because the law demanded It , bui
also becM use it was found to bo advisable
from tt business point of view.
Appreciation of Clorks.
"It has been our experience" , said UK
manager , "that wo got bottoi service fron
our clerks under this system than wo hni
when no seats were provided. There an
many hours In the day when a clerk is with
out occupation for a few minutes and thci
she Is at liberty to sit down nnd rest unti
another customer demands her attention. /
rest of oven live minutes is ot incalculable
benefit to a person who is compelled tc
stand in ono spot most of the time and I an
sure that both our employes and customer ;
profit by the privilege. The worker a clcrl
Is very trying , at times , and I am ccrtaii
that the girls are moro capable and gooi
naturcd from being allowed tlicso brief in
tcrvnls of rest. 1 cannot sou that it inter
feres with their work in the least and wi
would continue the system whether it wa :
covered by tlio law or not. "
I'rivllngn.N'ot Abusoil ,
Several other houses wcro found when
tbo same order was observed. The fac
that it in no way interforrod with the surv
ice of the employes was in each case ao
clarcd to bo trim. It was stated that sine
the stools had been provided the number o
absences on account of illness was roducoi
nearly one-half , nnd that but very few in
stances had been noticed where the clerk
abused thuir privilege by sitting down u
times when their services wuro in demand.
That the minutes of rest afforded by seat
were appreciated was evident from i
miuuto's conversatldn.'with some of th
young women clerks , 'They found the worl
much loss trying , and wcro nnlo to fulfil
their daily duties at'/lbo / store bolter thai
under tlio old conditions ; '
"You bavo no Idea how tlrcsomo It used t
bo when wo hud to sUlliu , behind those counters

said ono girl. "There unver was a day thii

some of the girls got so nervous before tin

spirit to humor their whims ana study the !
tastes than if wo were so tlro.1 and nervou
that wo scarcely uarod whether they WOP
suited or not. "
llcurtlots Tusknuulors.
There are a few ' establishments in th
city , however , where the clerks are compelled
polled to stand , whether thcro is a custome
in thn store or not. There U nothing in th
shape of a sat in the store except in th
oulcu , and many of the. clerks are dlsposci
to resent the failure of tlieir employes t
comply with the example sot by other estub
lishmcnts. They have no recourse , however
over , bolwcui bearing the discomforts o
their position or leaving their places to b
IllloJ by others. In ono of these establish
incuts the manager stulou that it was til
opinion that if the girls had scuts that tlio ,
wcro at liberty to use whenever they suv
lit ihoy would bo blllin ; down half th
time and neglect their business. This stale
jucut was emplatically dcnluj by oiho
employers. They had always got alon
without seats and thought they could con
Inuo to do so. "Wo novcr have nny trouble
n procuring help , " ho continued , "and wo
iay bolter wngos limn any other osta'altsh-
nent of the same kind in Omaha. "
Strnln on Womnnliond ,
After looking through the dry goods stores
.ho report or called on a dozen of the leading
ihyslclans of the city and Inquired what
their experience had taught thorn with re
gard to hygcnlo effects of the long hours
ipent in standing behind a counter ? They
wcro unanlmojs in the assertion that no
woman could suu I the strain for any great
length of tim vUthout detriment to her
loalth. A largo -prorwrt Ion ofthocnscsof
nervous troubles in females which they wcro
caltud upon to prescribe for , were directly
attributable to thlb very source. The law
compelling employers to provide scats at
every counter was unanimously endorsed
and the physicians declared that It should
be strictly enforced. *
"I have noticed ono thing , " said a promi
nent specialist , "that may have something
to do with the nervous aliments that every
physician knows to bo especially prevalent
among women employed In the ary goods
stores. Thcro Is no class of women who
lace us tight as the dorks. It Is n part of
their business to appear us attracllvo as pos
sible , and many of Ihoni overdo Iho mutter
in this respect. This , added to the strain on
the nervous system , is n constant menace to
licalth. In all my experience I can count on
my fingers all the girls I have known who
have worked In a dry goods store for six
months and retained perfect health. "
Apnthy or Authorities.
Some of the city officials have recently
evinced n disposition to see that the law was
enforced in nil the establishments In the
city which employ foinalo labor , but there
scorns to bo some doubt as to which branch
of the municipal government should do the
enforcing. City Prosecutor Cochran thinks
that It is tlmo that the delinquent proprie
tors were brought to time , but is equally cer
tain that It is not his province to file the
complaints. Ho bolivcs that It is a matter
which demands the attention of Iho Board
of Health , as it is purely a matter of hy
giene.
Health Commissioner Somors said that
the law was too gooil to bo allowed to
bccotno a dead , letter and that if thcro wcro
any establishments In the city which com
pelled their fomulo employes to stand for
nine or ton hours every day they ought to bo
compelled to provide seats at onco. Dut the
Board of Health had enough to attend to
without dealing in labor matters and in his
opinion the only man who had authority to
act in the promises was the state labor com
missioner. It was the principal business of
the labor commissioner , or his deputy , to
visit all the cities in the state nnd sco that
all laws relating to labor word enforced. Ho
thought it would be si good idea to call tlio
attention of that official to the matter and
have him make an investigation.
Meanwhile the clerks in some establish
ments are still standing behind their coun
ters these hot Juno days.

LINCOLN'S SOCIABILITY.
Judge Ambrose , Itopoati a Story or the
Martyred President.
Judge George W. Ambrose , who has lately
returned from a visit to Clinton , la. , brings
back the following anecdote of Lincoln , as
lold by Judge Samuel Hoyt of Clinton :
In bis younger days , long before Lincoln
had emerged from his humble obscurity ,
Judge Hoyt was a telegrapher at Crestline ,
O. Ono day Lincoln happened in town and
being obliged to wait for several hours fet
the next outgoing train , he inquired around
for some ono who would play "a few games ol
billiards with him. Ho was referred tc
Mr. Hoyt.
The long , lank and ungainly form of Abe
Lincoln stalked into the telegraph office. In
troducing hiuisolt and making known his
desire , ho readily obtained Mr. Hoyt's assent
to his proposition. Together , they went tc
, the hotel and played billiards during the re
mainder of the day , Mr. Lincoln making nc
particular impression upon Mr. Hoyt , except
that ho was n pretty good billiard player.
Soon after the breaking out of the war ,
Mr. Hoyt was called to the telegraph oDlcc
in the War department at Washington. Mr.
Lincoln was president , but Mr. Hoyt had
novel' mo * , him since the day ho had played
billiards with him. Ono evening , who should
walk into the olllce but Iho president.
"Whero is the man who can catch General
Banks the quickest for mo ! " lie asked.
' I think Stonewall Jackson can do It
sooner than any ono else , " answered Mr.
Hoyt.
Lincoln enjoyed the Joke nnd laughed
heartily. The suggestion that a general ol
the opposing army could fiim ono of nis oun
generals more quickly than any ono else
seemed to make an impression upon him , foi
no sooner had ho delivered his dispatch tc
the proper telegrapher than ho returned Ic
Mr. Hoyt and asked with a pleasant smile :
"What Is your name , young man ? "
"Samuel Hoyt , " was the reply.
"Oh. you are the young man with whom ]
played billiards at Crestline , years ago , '
said tbo president.
"Yes , 1 am the person , " was the answer
and after a hearty shako of hands the twc
became reminiscent and talked togothci
pleasantly for some moments. The incident
serves to show with what facility the grcai
mind of the great president could adjusl
itself to all conditions. Hero ho was , tlu
loader ii ) a great struggle for national life
with momentous cams of state resting
heavily upon bis shoulders ; yet ho coulc
forgot them all for a time and revert will
evident enjoyment to a day pleasantly spent
years before In a quiet country town 01
Ohio , The remark of Judge Hoyt , which at
traded the president's attention , will doubt
less impress the reader as an answer worth'
to bo remembered and classed among tin
host examples ot repartee.

by a splendid program. Quito a number of
the days are devoted entirely to different ob

Each year since the organization starlod ,

CANINE DIPLOMACY.
Ilomnrknblo Sagacity Displayed by nn
Omaha Hog ,
Harry C. Hackott , residing al-131-t Ersklno
street , has an Irish setter dog that is pos
sessed of more than the usual amount of
canine sagacity. Some of this Intelligent
brulo's tricks and actions are worthy of
special mention. Ono of Mr. Hnckott's
neighbors has a small dog lhal Is In Iho
habil of playing a good deal wilh Ihe Irish
seller and occasionally Iho Iwo get into n
"scrap" over choice bits of bono
thrown out for their mastication.
The setter is not much inclined to
fight over the food. The sagacious brute
bus discovered another and moro agreeable
method of getting possession of the models
that tickle thuir canine palates. When
"Midget , " the small dog , gets hold of n bono
iirsl the setter docs not attempt to take it
away from him , but suddenly discovers that
there is something very unusual and alarm
ing around on Iho other side of Iho house ,
nnd away she goes , barking as ihough a
whlto elephant had suddenly appeared in
the Immediate vicinity. Mldgot drops his
bono and hurries around the house to
assist in the attack. No sooner
has ho readied a distance of
several rods from the coveted morsel ,
however , than the nollnr whips back around
the house at full speed nnd snatches up Iho
bono. Being the larger dog of the two , she
then quietly lays down and leisurely munches
the food in n manner qulto provoking to the
discomlltcd Midgcl.
Mr. Hackctt keeps some finochlckons over
which the setter exorcises a protecting care.
One of the moat Interesting feats of animal
intelligence Is to sco her separate two
roosters when they gel lo lighting. This
she will do without instructions from her
master. The moment two of the roosters
got Into a fight the dog rushes toward .them
and deliberately walks between Iho belliger
ents. She will oven place her paw upon ono
of the roosters and press him to thu ground
while she intercepts the approach of Iho
other with her head and body. This remarkable -
able dog has been brought up Among the
chickens and scorns to think Hint it is her
duty not only to protect thorn from outward
danger , but to protect tnom from family
quarrels as well , nnd she has n most effective -
ivo way of doing it , The chickens rarely
offer any resistance nnd the dog has never
been known to injure them in tlio slightest.
