HOW LADY CLERKS ARE
SELECTED.

In all large cities lady clerks are Sc
lected with great care, according to
the business they follow. In the
dressmaking and cloak department
they are selected for their fine figures,
as anything looks well on good form.
Ladies in buying a cloak imagine If 1t
looks well on saleslady it certainly
ought to on them, / know of one place
in New York City where young la
DIV receives $40 week because she
has beautiful face and good figure.
She is the daughter of German who
keeps beer saloon on Avenue A.
Everything looks we'll on her and she
attracts many customers ln the hair
stores the same routine is observed !;
girls are selected with comely features
and a good form. When blonde GUS
toner wishes to purchase a wig or
ANYTHING else she NAV desire, blonde
lady waits on her The wig being
placed on the living model gives the
buyer an idea how she would look.
Vice versa when a brunette enters.
Gentlemen are sure to go where
there are young and pretty faces,
and merchants knowing this are
very careful in securing attractive
girls. Some of the business men are
very severe with their help. They are
never allowed to sit but are compelled
to stand on their feet the whole day
long, no matter if they have nothing
to do. 1 know of very wealthy
merchant doing business who is about
as mean as they make them. One OF
the lady clerks tainted one day and
was taken very sick. He insisted on
getting a carriage but she said she
could walk home. The carriage came
and be made the young lady pay Tor it
out of her salary That is about as
penurious as the boarding house lady
who kept her knives and forks chained
to the table, and not having any nap
kins she bought large Newfoundland
dog, which went around the table after
dinner and the boarders wiped their
handS on nlm.

CUTTING WEEDS

There Is nothing In the time or the
season when the plants or brush are
cut which prevents their future growth.
II is the condition Of the plants them
selves which has the effect desired.
Plants are weakest just before the seed
IL maturcd, having then exhausted the
vitality Of the root and stem in pro-
ducing seed. So the root Of tree Is
more exhausted when the tree is In
full leaf than at any other time II
plants or trees are cut at these times
their vitality Is checked more than at
any other time and often they cannot
recover When a wild carrot seeds the
root dies naturally, and all that l.
necessary with annual or hienuial
weeds IL to cut them before they seed,
when they die and aro ended.

CAN IT NOT BE SETTLED

III the Governor should embody
the settlement of the State debt i'm
his coming call for the extra session
of the Legislature, it il confidently
believed by those who claim to b.
well informed that the bondhoiders
will come forward and offer some
modified proposition for Il settle
ment, aud such settlement as the
Legislature and the people will ac-
cept. We hope the Governor will
do this, and c,til upon the bond
holders to know if they are not
ready and willing To compro.nise
The debt some way. We believe
they will. They must be worn out
and tired with this long, vexatious
delay and harangIing over gues-
ton that ought long ago to have
been, and might now be settled by
calm, quiet, business-like ronsid-
Grafton and spirit of Cancellation ON

want it left open, but the PEOPLE,
the masses who are industrious and
honest, are becoming utterly worn
out with it, and are alarmed at the
direful consequences that must flow
from further prolonged agitation
of the subject, and are feverish for
some settlement. Cannot the pres
ent Legislature and the creditors
come to some terms?

The Mississippi's Overflow.

The Memphis Appeal gives a
most alarming account of the terri
BILE condition of affairs along the
lower Mississippi on both the Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas rivers cOnse-
quent upon the great overflow. 1t
says that there is not a single plan
tation between Memphis and Friars
Point that WAS not wholly or par
TALLY submerged. 1t reports hogs,
cattle and sheep as being drowned
by hundreds. There was great
destruction of property and seven
persons drowned near Helena, Ark.
The situation up to Monday night
had become almost desperate and
it calls upon the citizens of Mem
phis to take immediate action for
the relief of the sufferers. In giving
a detailed report of the damage all
along the levees, it says:
The levee which protected Laco-
MIA Circle also broke last Thursday
night, and the whole circle is now
under water. There are eighteen
large plantations that suffer by this
break. They are owned by Capt.
Pat Henry, DIR. Henry Blackburn,
Shepard & Blackburn, r. III. Keene,
DIR. Scott, Mrs. Ed. Black burn, Mrs.
Rice, Il. j. Eddins and Governor
Luke Blackburn, of Kentucky.
From Captain Pat Henry, who was
a passenger on the Dean Adams,
Sunday, the Appeal representative
learned that the break occurred in
the rear. There was a large force
at work at the time on the front
levee, which was greatly endangered
by the waves which were caused by
the gale that blew from the south
on that day. BY almost superhu-
man efforts they succeeded in pre-
venting a break, and were cOngrat-
ulating themselves on their escape,
when word was brought that a
break had occurred in the rear. 1t
was occasioned by sipe which the
man placed on duty to watch had
failed to report and soon the waters
began pouring in, and in a few min
utes the break was fully one hum
bred yards wide. LacOnia Circle is
twenty miles in circumference, and
this is the first break that has Oc-
Cured since 1867. The waters, ac-
cOrding to marks, are now ten
inches higher than was ever known,
and are twelve inches higher than
in 1867. a large number of cattle
and hogs will be drowned and
starved by this break. All of the
dwellings within the circle are sur
rounded by water, and the stock
that was saved are on platforms
that have been hastily built to save
them from being drowned.

THE WISDOM OF SUSTAINING a
STATES CREDIT.

The following succinct statement
forcibly demonstrates how wise a
policy it is for State TO sustain her
faith and credit. In 1910 the now
prosperous State of Illinois was in
worse condition in every way than
Tennessee is to-day, but in all her
poverty she never forgot her hon.
esty and she stands to-day proud
illustration of the old adage that
"honesty is the best policy" The
same complaints were made of her
debt then which are made of Ten
nessee's to-day. Some of her citi-
zens pleaded fraud, illegality, pow
erty, but in happy hour she made
up her mind to face the debt and
pay it, and the world taking her at
her word trusted and aided her.
Immigration and capital flowed
into the State and it was only the
matter of few years when she
had met all her obligations and
was prosperous and happy. In
honor OF the grand step she to-day
almost apGtheosizes the name of
that grand "Little Giant of the
West" who, from sick couch,
plead for her honor, her faith and
her credit.
1.-THE State of Illinois is an exam
pie which Tennessee might prof.
tably initiate. In 1910 this State,
with only 10000 population, was
borne down by an enormous debt
of Sl4,O00,000. For FIVE years she
paid no interest, and her bonds sold
at fifteen cents on the dollar. Cred
il, public and private, had utterly
ceased in the State. She was fOrtu-
nate in the election of an honest
Governor, who infused enough of
honesty into the Legislature TO levy
first a nominal tax to pay interest,
and TO provide for funding all the
old debt and millions of back inter
est into new bonds bearing per
cent. interest. The effect upon the
credit of the State and people was
magical. Business revived, emf
grafton from the state ceased, ana
immigrants flowed in. The tax
was increased TO a rate sufficient to
meet the whole interest on the
debt; it was cheerfully paid by the
people. AS soon as it could be done
an irrepealable clause was voted
into the State Constitution impOs-
ing an annual tax, the proceeds to
be applicable to the payment of the
principal of the debt. From that
day TO the present, Illinois and its
local governments and its people
have never wanted credit. The
State has prOspered almost without
a parallel. The debt in due time
was paid to the last penny without
rebate or reduction.
Tennessee has now nearly four
times the population that Illinois
had when she suspended. Iennes-
see has now nearly 1000 miles of
prosperous railroads; Illinois then,
nor for twelve years after, had not
Il mile OF railway. What Illinois
did when she was PROSTATE, and
weak, and in absolute poverty, Ten
neSSee might well do in her wealth
and in the abundance of her pros
porous means of production.
