THEY TAKE A BIT OF EVERYTHING.
Customers Who Make Green Grocers Wish to
Sell Out and Retire from Business.

As man with wife and baby to feed
stopped at retail grocery recently to make
q purchase, he was preceded in turn by an
elderly housewife, whose peculiar manner
of trading caught his attention. She would
price berries, for example, take one or two
as a sample and pass to the plum counter.
After nibbling away at one, and, much to
her credit, throwing the seed into the
street. she finally decided to buy no fruit.
Sample after sample disappeared, and after
a good meal and purchase OF q pound of
crackers sh. left the store. There is a
class of people that / despise in nv
trade remarked the grocer, as his Gus
toner had left. Certainly people never
stop and think how much they eat. Now,
/ don't object to a man or woman, and the
women are by far the most addicted to the
habit. tasting berry or pinch of butter.
But when a woman comes into the store
eats q little of everything i have, under
the pretense of an intention to buy, l al
ways brand them as professional samplers.
/ would rather they wouldn't come to nv
store at all. for all that they buy hardly
pays for what they steal. and that is what
1t really is. i have seen women pluck q
banana from bunch, take the outside
skin of. and after biting it give the rest to
their children, and then leave without buy
ing thing. / believe they would carry
watermelon off now and then if they had
the required amount of muscle. From what
Pve seen I'm sure they would have enough

The Purpose of Labor Day.

Labor day was established by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in 1886. Since that
time it has every year been observed in all
the leading cities. The object of it is two
fold-first, to bring all classes of organized
and unOrganiZed labor into close relations;
second. to discuss before the public the i'm
portant questions bearing upon the sub
ject of labor reform. The occasion this
year will be one of unusual interest to
labor. since the American Federation, at
It's last session. designated it as one of four
special days for the discussion of the eight
hour question. and it is expected thereby
TO give that movement q strong impetus.
1t will be the last labor demonstration be-
fore winter, and hence the earnest desire
that is manifested by the management to
make il success

he says:

cises OF each recurring year ought to be

The communication YVES referred to the

are anxiously awaiting its decision.
A meeting of members of the Arbeiter

affairs and electiDg officers. was held last
evening. T. II. Garside made long ad

equalizs the rights and privileges of the
whole people. The Bund had no right to
make war upon the statute books. Some
of the laws are good. 1t was public opin-
ion that had to be fought. Ifpublic senti-
ment had its sway Schwab and FieldeD

statement was greeted with wild ap-

Birdie Gives Away His Party.

Special Telegram 70 the keBlster
CHARLESTON, W. VA, January 22.-
Considerable amusement is expressed here
among those who saw the InteHigeneer Of
this morning over the following bit which
Col. Birdie Hart telegraphed from
here. Speaking of President Carr's
course he says: ''But if Republicans
would not negotiate on his terms, he gave
them fair warning that he would deal with
the Democrats if they would take up with
him. AS often as one deal WAS of he was
ready to Jump hopefully into another,
rarely losing his bOyancy Of spirit, even
when the last hope of success seemed to
have gone glimmering."
The comment is made that Col. Birdie
gives sway his party in great shape in
the above. SO, that's the kind of ochemers
and tricksters the Republicans are down
there, is il? We are glad to have 1t from
such good authority.
Further on, you observe, ne says Presi-
dent Carr is q "worm fence in politics
when little matter of personal pride ID at
stake" For all of which Col. Carr and
the Republicans here are no doubt truly
thankful 10 Col Birdie.
