Misunderstanding man about %

little group OF sightseers and made
his way to the stairway leading to

stranger removed every article of

ran out into the rotunda in a per.

circular marble slab that marks the

a classic attitude and posed motion

Clerks in Shoe Stores.

Most men are very inquisitive
when they enter a Ehoe store,' said
a salesman in a big store tc a New
York Nal and Express reporter,
and if there is a woman within view
trying on q shoe the performance is
sure to receive their closest attention.
But they would get over that soon
if they were around very much, and
if they had to wait on the customers
themselves they would soon be Dor
ed. At this store. however, we have
women clerks. as you see, and the
men are relieved from their roman
tic duty, if you insist upon viewing
it in that light"
How are these women doing as
clerks ?N
"Oh, pretty well. but as yet we
regard it simply an experiment al
Though we have had them quite q
while now. 1t is simply a question
of business policy, and if it shall sp-
pear that a majority of our lady Gus
TONERS prefer their own sex they
will be retained: otherwise not. |
myself am inclined to think that
there is a large demand for women
clerks in this line, and that particu-
lar stores will always have them, al
though l do not anticipate that all
the stores will do so, by any means"
"Do most ladies, then prefer wom-
en- clerks ?"
Net by any means. 1t requires
a great deal of strength in hand and
arm to force a close fitting shoe
snugly into place, and a man can do
that much better than a woman.
But some women are so prudish that
it makes them nervous to have a
man fussing around their feet that
way, and then there are Others who,
without being the least bit silly
about the matter, are so genuinely
modest that they dislike the assis-
lance of a man. But there are a
great many others who tell their
friends how annoyingit is to be com
PEELED TO have a man serve them in
a shoe store who really enjoy the
annoyance and who will keep a
handsome young clerk working over
them until be is all worn out. long
after they have actually made up
their minds what to purchase. This
is what makes a shoe clerk swear
to himself and it is only a very
green specimen who does not become
disguised. | think, therefore that
some places will always have wom-
en- clerks and others men. Some
stores have tried the experiment of
keeping both, but even a lady who
decidedly prefers to have a gentle
man wait on her does not like to Sc
lect a young man when there is a
woman clerk standing by, and she
will probably take pains to avoid
that store another time"
How do the male clerks regard
the introduction of the womeu?n
Generally with entire fevor, un-
less it happens TO cause the loss of
their positions. Almost any old
clerk would rather wait on a man
than a woman. It takes a great
deal more time and trouble and
hard work to serve a woman than a
man. A man usually knows what
he wants, and is easily satisfied. A
woman merely knows what she does
not want. and rs that embraces
about everything in the store it is
simply a choice of evils to be made
after much labor and worry. Of
course the clerk is blamed for any
mistake the customer finally makes.
Yes, | think the men are perfectly
willing that the women clerks should
attend to the women"

other fve are not yet known but they ere said

at Washington had reason to suspect irreguari-
ties in the entries of these lands, and sent out
Special Agent B. F. Bergen, of the Interior De-
partment, to investigate the matter The result
of Bergen's investigation shows that the parties
indicted were all members of the California Red
wood Company, the capital of which was raainly
subscribed in Scotland. The indicted parties
procured about six hundred American citizens
to take up i60 acres of land each, for which each
received $50.
The entries were in all cases Immediately con

ward sent an ageat to Scotland to form syndi-

California Redwood Company $40 an acre for the
land. which, as shown, the latter had fraudu-
lently purchased from the government for So. 30
an acre.
Mr. Bergen has passed three months in Hum

standing numerous difficulties thrown in his
way, has secured testimony from over a hundred
