with admiration TO know that the soldiers did such
noble deeds. How we young people should honor

REVELATIONS OF DRY-GooDs CLERK.
FRIENDS OF THE CLUB: i am a clerk in a general
merchandise store, and sell goods To the boys as
well as the girls. OF course girls ali lace more or
less as the demand for corsets shows Fashion
controls, and the girl who does not a corset
looks like some old Italian apple woman. A girl
will come in and look at "A halfdozcn more pairs
OF shoes before she is suited, and then 20 away
with q pair that will pinch her feet so they can
hardly walk Right after her will come "A boy for
a pair of pants and by the time he is suited he
will have pair that tight that he can hardly
walk and if he should happen to fall down, run,
or bend over, they would be very apt TO rip. The
consequence is. he goes along the street looking
and acting more Ike an ape than anything else,
afraid turn his head for fear his collar will cut
his throat or his pants zip. And this same dude
small for his feet and will walk along If he were
stepping on eggs. FASHIONS foies not all on

for the Office. There is no building here

has to be furnished, and the location
selected by the postmaster.
