A polite young salesman in GER
tam store mp town, succeeded in sell
ing bouncing young country girl a
pretty respectable bill of goods.
He had shown her, at her request,
among other things, baimoral.
Finally she got through, and order
I'D her goods packed. She had not
included the balmcral in her pur.
chases. and the young man thought
perhaps a suggestion to be ALLOW =
ed to put it in the bundle might
effect a sale,and venturedl it thusly !:
I'D like very much, Miss, to put
you in that balmOral." She looked
at him q moment to see if he WAS in
earnest, and seeing that he was,
che responded to his kind sugges-
tion thusly "Young man, i'm be
long time before you ever pnt me 10
n balmorai." When last heard
from, the young man was out again,
but it wouldn't be altogether safe
to discuss balmorals when he's
around.

of the government, that every Senator should
hold higher aud above all else, demand of us
that we pause 10 this kind of legislation.
