THE LATEST SCHEME.
The Novel Manner in Which the Gen
tleman Clerks in one of our Popular
Dry Goods Stores are Induced to

Dry Goods Stores are Induced to
Scrub out.
While passing one of our Dry Goods
stores few days since, our attention
was attracted by seeing two young men
eagerly bestowing kisses upon one of
the lady clerks. We supposed at the
time that the parties were practicing
for some theatrical performance, but
we have since learned better.
1t seems that there is in some of the
city stores system of routine in the
matter of sweeping out stores. The
young ladies of course object to the
work and so have hit upon the novel
scheme of trading kisses for work. The
young gentlemen are only too glad to
work any number of hours for such
wages and the osculatory performance
referred to was only the paying Off
of the debts due for the previous eve
ning's work.
The plan is to be commended to
other cities. We understand that a
schedule of prices is agreed upon in
this city. The rates run about one
kiss for 10 minutes work with a tend
ency on the part of the gentlemen to
ask higher prices.

The double-headed Enterprise indie
pendent which tries to curry favor on
all sides by attacking alternately the
Democratic and Republican journals of
the county, devotes considerable space
this week to low-lived attacks on the
REFLECTOR and its managers. To be
candid about it, we feel rather honored
by having the enmity of such a mug
wump-ocratic sheet as the Indepen-
dent. 1t is possible that DeMott's
pointless utterances were meant to be
humorous; if so, it was the most fiat
footed failure on record.

A Small Blaze.

About half past eleven last night a
fire alarm was rung in from first ward
The fire was in the deserted rookery
known as the Abilene foundry and
though partly burned before the FIRE
men extinguished the flames, the
damage was slight. 1t was probably
another escapade of Abilene's fire-bugS.
