nothing TO do with the other, but they
have good deal in common, and the
more, bandsomer the customer. Re-
Gently young lady, in my presence,
tried on ten pairs of boots without fit;
and between her desire for perfect one
and the prayer OF the clerk for none at
all there was prospect Of her passing
the afternoon that way. could not
blame the fellow for she was beauty,
but ] was shocked at the abandon of
the lady. | do not wonder why posi-
tons in such stores are desirable and
very scarce, especially in these days,
when there is so much wickedness. 1t
takes me long while to get at what
intend to say, but have reached it at
last. 1t is very improper for girls to
allow young men to fit their boots they
should do it themselves. | notice no

do it would give HIM such q look as
would make him Uither. 1t makes

A Rio Land Sale

We learn, by st. Louis and kansa:
City papers, that the Kansas Pacific rail
road has just closed sale with Messrs
Warren, Keeny 4 Co., well known Chi
cago real estate men, for 100000 acres
of land in central Kansas, for the Chi
cago Colonization Cempanv's colony.
This is undoubtedly the largest land sale
ever made to private parties by rail
road company, and as the purchasers
took general look over the lands of
the Santa Fe, NJ. X. & T., and other
roads before locating, it speaks well for
the country along the Kansas Pacific
that they selected land on their line.
The sale was negotiated by John NJ.
Childs, the general land agent of the
company, and his tact and perseverance
in working up and concentrating the
sale, show what Joliet real estate men
are worth for business. We are glad
John has made a strike, tor he de-
serves it,
The tract of land purchased Is about
20 miles square, and 1t Is the intention
OF the company TO settle it at once with
workingmen from the rites, as was no.
ted some weeks ago in speaking of the
scheme. 1t deserves success, and we
believe the men who have it in hand are
the right ones TO make it succeed

that the noise in which we live, and
