Hosiery and Shoes

I was in a State street shoe store yes
terday, says q writer in the Chicago
Mail, when two ladies seated them
selves and asked to be shown shoes, of
course. A moment later he came to the
proprietor, with whom l was talking,
and said: ''She has white hose" The
proprietor made q reply that l did not
quite understand, and the clerk de-
parted, 1 returned to ask why it was
that the clerk had made such an OBJ
servation. 1T is one of the tricks of
our trade" answered the head
Of the concern "a woman
who will wear white hosiery
don't wear fine shoes. You can gam
BILE on that every time and win. So we
know about what class of goods to show
her and thus save time. l don't know
whether you know it or not, as such
matters do not interest outsiders, but
we can tell by the sort of hosiery a
woman wears whatprice shoes she wants
Now, take q woman who wears black
silk hosiery, or black balbriggan-she
wants the very best shoe, as a rule, that
there is in the house. l have made a
study of this for years, and l am away
up on uhe subject | can tell you. An
other thing 1 have noticed--a woman
who wears black hosiery generally has
small feet. That reminds me that the
average foot Of the Chicago LADY,
mean good stock, the aristocrats-is not
small, but long and slender"

Gratest Race on Record.

It is seldom that twenty-seven travelling
men strike one small town at the same time
but such was the case last Friday night at
Red Oak, la. While the boys were debating
what would be the order of the evenings
entertainment in the prohibition town they
concluded to attend the Indian show at the
ball ground. The great war dance scene and
the thought of all being in Omaha over Sun
day so enthused the boys that a foot race was
suggested for which there was soon twenty
seven entries. There are no doubt twenty
seven seperate stories told as to
who won that race and how he
won it but the first man to relate the
great event to The BEE man gets the credit
of winning the cigars that were at stake and
the championship of western Iowa. w. Il.
Wilson, of the Alden vinegar company, of
st. Louis, was the only travelling man pres
ent who did not enter the race. He had been
IN Red Oak three weeks sick from the effects
of his commodity and was not able TO enter
the lists. He was chosen the starter, referee
and time keeper of the event. The start was
made after a few scorings and a Mr.. Hill, of
Burlington, came under the wire first. His
right to the cigars that were up, and the an
nouncing of himself winner was not disputed
by five of the men who were in the race and
he was no doubt the winner w. M, Holl-
ingsworth, of ST. Joseph, representative of
Neuberger's millinery house, was undisputed
second. Hall, OF the McCosh iron and steele
company, of Burlington, held q prominent
place among the men at the finish. Hawley,
of Peoria, made a good start but fell by the
wayslde, His coacher claimed that he had
been sick and was not in shape TO run.
There was one Omaha man in the race,
whose name could not be learned. He rep
resents a hide and tallow house. The boys
say he was making a good showing in the
dash until a white horse appeared on the
ground and he became red headed then and
stopped to rest. He will no doubt deny this
story. The boys are unanimous in the one
opinion that it was the greatest race on re-
cord, They say they did not keep the time
and will not enter the record against the win
this city.

Wears a Sunday Face.


A story is told at the expense of Billy"
who travels through Nebraska for a promi-
nent hat and cap house of this city, that is
worthy of special mention. "Billy'' is a
pious-looking boy and at times assumes
great deal of the Sanctimoniousness He was
at Atkinson, Neb., not many Saturdays ago
and was billed in the town for over Sunday.
He had not seen all of his customers, and
especially some that belon yed to the good
churches of the place. He made an appoint
ment to call on one of them during the
evening to let him know he was in town, To
add a little to his Saturday nights call and
also fix himself solid for a good Monday
mornings sale, he asked his good deacon
customer if there was an Episcopal
church in the city. "There is
nome" replied the deacon, 'but /
have a pew in the Methodist church that |
would gladly share with you for the day and
will call on you at your hotel to a you
around"
"Thanks very much" replied the good
drummer, ''but | can not possibly attend any
church except the Ep|iscopalIan."
II am afraid you can not be accommodated
here then and the day will be very long for
you unless you while it away showing your
samples TO some of the merchants who do not
attend church,
This suggestion was too much and Mr.. b.
was overcome by the suggestion of selling a
bill of goods on Sunday.
The day wore heavily on and in the after
noon the good merchant as he
was looking around town in the
afternoon was in front of the wicked sa-
looms of the place when he heard a familiar
voice call out in a loud tone, well | want
high - and the game there anyway. That
puts me out"
On entering the place he saw the manly
face of the good Omaha boy who had been so
anxious to find an Episcopal church in tho
morning,

The Coming Convention.

The convention of the 7. p. A, that is to
be held in Minneapolis from the 10Th to the
22nd of this month, bids fair to be one of es-
pecial interest to all the travelling men of the
country and especially to those of the west
ern part of the trade. The meeting is for
the discussion of better modes of business
among the men who are on the road and for
the general advancement of their interests
aud comfort as well as the business and trade
of their respective houses. This convention
is of so great importance that the state asso-
Citations Texas and Colorado are sending
large delegations to it to see that their in
terest are we'll represented. The delegations
will travel together and are making arrange
ments to pay the Omaha boys a visit while
on their way. Every effort will be made by
the local knights of the grip to entertain
their western and southern friends while
they are in the city. Omaha and Nebraska
will also send a large delegation to the con-
vention to look after the wholesale and trav-
cling mems interests of this state and city.

Sea Sick on Big Lake.

-Four of w. H. Parrotte & Co.'s travelling
men, Darrow, Bailey, Carson and Roe, were
in the city last Monday and Tuesday. They
saw all there was to see in town Monday,
and as they could not go out until Wednesday
they concluded to spend Tuesday at Big lake
with a skift, some wet boat seats, a lunch, a
few worms, hooks and lines, and if possible,
with good luck, catch some iiSh. One of the
boys had put a pack of cards in his pocket,
and by some mysterious accident a box of
red, white and blue checks wandered into
the boat. They had no intrinsic value, but
still were useful. While they were sitting in
the boat using these chips, Darrow, by some
phenomenal luck, caught two fish on the two
hooks on his line at one throw. Stimuli
taneous with this streak of luck, Roe
held up one ace on a large jack pot and
caught two more. AS this fish story was
told by the boys, it would seem that two of
the fish were caught by one of the aces.
However this may be the effect of the loss
of the jack pot, or the swelling Of the tide
made barrow sea sick. While he was lean
ing over the edge OF the boat feeding the fish
the scanty dinner he mad enjoyed so much,
a little girl who observed him in all the
agonies of a briny deep illness said: 'What
are you doing mister, you sickl"
"You gu-uph-essed it the first time.
Who-uph told you! Pull for the shore boys,
l-ugh-am sick"
Darrow has fully recovered, but refuses to
have any one mention Big lake to him or
Roe's luck in a jack pot. He is now out in
Nebraska selling straw hats for real fisher
men.

sion which will begin the first Mon

When the Suprme Court fixes the
terms OF court in the various judicial
districts, the next term Of the Second
Judicial District Court will be SO ar.
ranged that it can continue as long as
will be required to bring the business
up to the first day of that term. AT
the December session only civil suits
will be tried.
Chief Justice Weir's object is tc

so that after the first term in 1885
suits may be heard within about sis
months after they shall be brought.
