A young man stepped up to the counter
Of one Of our furnishing stores the other
evening and called for pair Of socks. BE
sure that you get them large enough, said
he, afor when they are too small they
always wear through at the toes. Eyes,
sir, replied the polite clerk, "I'll get them
right; will you please hold out your hand?"
II said socks, not gloves" answered the
young man, somewhat surprised. 81 know
what YOU said, continued the clerk, "but
| want to see your hand" The customer
held out his hand and doubled up his fist
as directed. The clerk took one of the
socks from the box, wrapped the foot
around the fist and guaranteed a perfect
fit. Il am just as sure it will ft you as
though had measured your foot. said
the clerk, "as the distance around the fist
is always the length of the foot. A sales
man who knows his business always looks
at mans hands, and in that way knows
the size of the sock he wants.

Just as soon as the election is over
there will be another surprise for the
old soldier element in this community.
The postoffice at Medicine Lodge will
then come up for consideration and l..
M. Axline. the old war horse of the re-
publican party. will be put in the place
now occupied by L. A. McClearey. This
is the programme. You will ask why
not now? We will tell you. Axline
and Long and the republican bosses
know that when such a change is made
there will be great howl from the old
soldier element that is for Judge Hardy.
If Axline were appointed now. of course
Hardy aud his friends would be very
hot and the probability is they would
refuse to vote at the election or vote
against Long and the balance of the re-
publican ticket So the idea is to keep
the postofiice matter in the background
until after the election and then give it
TO Axline. And then WON'T there be a
bowl?

There is no opposition to d. j. Aber
for reelection. He has given entire
satisfaction as county surveyor, and
has shown his ability as a civil engin-
eer in several works constructed here
Mr.. Hill is mere novice. He has, of
course, smattering of knowledge but
his work on the water ditch showed
that he either did not know or did not
care whether that work was success
or not. The extra work done ON the
ditch, after Mr.. Hill declared it COM
pleted according to plans and specifi-
cations, has cost this city about 81 500.
Everyone remembers what a former
mayor said about Mr.. Hills work. As
county surveyor he would be apt to
make even more serious blunders.
