also limped his countertype of the canine
species.
They were comrades as clearly as though
they had been made for each other. If the
man had a hangdOg look his companion
surely had a hangman look. They both
furtively looked at the crowd Of men drink
ing at the bar, saw that they had not been
noticed by the bartender, aud glided over
10 a dark corner back of the stove, where
the man sank into a corner and his COM
paniOn curled up at his feet.
The latter was an English bulldog, and
was hideOus enough to appeal to the deep
est affections of a society belle, if he had
had a bath. He was goggled-eyed, bow
legged, underShot, cur-tailed and ear
clipped. It was a physical impOssibility for
him to smile, because when his lips parted
they only gave the face an expression of
leeriDg or Sneering. But it is doubtful if he
ever had an excuse for smiling, so he was
ignorant Of his physical defects.
The man was soon in a sound sleep, but
the dog only closed one watery eye and
watched their natural enemy in his white
jacket behind the bar Presently the man
snoTed and they we're discovered. The dog
raised his head, looked at his companion
with a disguised expression, which said,
Well, now you've done H." and calmly
awaited the consequences Of their discovery.
The bbulOus men in front Of the bar saw
an opening for some fun. A proposition to

a stout string was tied to the tin-can and
a slr-knOt made in the other end. This
was slipped over the stump tail Of the dog
and pulled taut The dog watched the

who sat next me in shoe-store.
why was that?" | asked the man had
served her, when she departed.
Hole in her stocking Oh, yes. You
would hardly believe how many ladies have
holes in their stockings. We always know
it, It's try the right shoe on or the left,
never mind the other Some of them say,
Pm afraid | have a little break in my stock
ing. didn't expect to get my shoes tried
to-day And often the little break horri-
ies them, having grown TO big break dur
ing the day. Oh. yes; little breaks come
sometimes, and the lady herself does not
know it till the shoe Is removed. In those
cases she usually says nothing, but just
bushes. The hole is always a genuine case
OF accident when woman takes it that
way. Sometimes they gasp, so that we
shall see how surprised they are, but then
some women pretend that. We can usually
tell the real thing. A successful shoe sales
man needs peculiar gifts Of tact and the
genius of patience" this one continued.
when a woman has really large foot it's
best to bring shoe slightly too small and
then appear surprised that it does not fit.
Some feet look smaller than really smaller
foot Is good explanation Of your error.
Bring to the woman who has genuinely
tiny foot shoe too big and then fit down to
her. Nothing pleases her so much. A sales
man influences the buyer tremendously L
believe woman would rather have her foot
praised than be told she is clever. Always
humor woman with big foot. " You can
wear much smaller shoe than this, Of
course, hut you want this for really COM
