Home of the Friendless, which
had long known her influence,
kept eagerly asking, Chow is
she?" Truly there is one touch

There is no doubt that selfish
ness, as we'll as self-preservation,
predominates in the human crea-
ture. The best Of us are selfish
many of US unconsciously so.
Even in our ways of doing good
comes the trail of the serpent.
There is one class of bread win
ners who suffer greatly at our
hands, and this comprises the
shop-women, or sales ladies, as
they are termed. A few hints tor
ourselves and others may result
in mutual improvement at this
Lenten season, when all hearts
should soften at the thought Of
unnecessary sn feripgg when we
should tighten the burdens and
help Others to live.
Ask in a pleasant way for what
you want, and state distinctly
what you mean. Do not, as Mira
x. did, go in a shop and say, II
want some trimmings as if the
girl behind. the counter were q
mind reader.
Unless you really do not want
to buy, it is hardly fair to have
the tired arms tumble down piece
after piece till the counter is piled
mountain high. The girl is paid
to get tired. Oh, yes; but if ii
were your own girl, would you
not have mercy?
Sometimes you are in good
faith yet fail to be pleased with
the stock. All right. These
hints are not for legitimate con-
tingencies.
Have a care for even the feel
ings of a shop girl. Perhaps you
have not seen the flush mount
and the quick tear start as you
vented a cross humor upon some
mothers only dependence, her
darling. And if Of sterner stuff
and she, too, shows temper, how
objectionable in her the Sin yor
would pet and foster.
Do not say you can get the
goods cheaper elsewhere. If yor
can, go there. Ofall the unwel-
come customers the one who

The Mary Cecil kindergarten.

Mr.. Howard Gratz, editor ofthe
Lexington Gazette, has established
two monuments to the memory of
his parents, which are far better
than bronze or marble. To die ID
sad; to be forgotten, sadder still;
and nothing SO perpetuates the
recollection of good men and
women as that which calls for the
continuance of their good deeds at
the hands of worthy successors.
Gratz Park has wop its high
reputation as pleasure ground.
Here when the present owner was
a lad, he played, with a hundred
others, while the mother enjoyed
their sport. And taking few
lessons in surgery from DR.. Dudley,
that mother was wont to bind up
the cut fingers, gashed heads and
sprained ankles Of the headlong
clan. When apples were ripe on
the farm, she had bushels of them
gathered and brought to the park,
where they were strewed over the
grass, more than enough for even
those greedy youngsters.
Mary Cecil Gratz was not only
one of the most beautiful women
Of her day, but was ever active in
good work. She was one of the
founders of the Orphans Home.
In honor of her virtues her son has
established free kindergarten at
the Industrial School building on
N. Upper Street. He employs as
teacher, Miss Mary Hamilton,
whose worth and ability are we'll
known in the community. Tho
children who gather there are fast
learning something besides squalor
and misery. Realizing that the
only path to the young animals
affections is through its stomach,
their benefactor gives them a stick
of candy every morning. This
ensures a sweet beginning, and the
rest is easy. A charity SO noble
deserves and will doubtless obtain,
recognition for generations to come.

eft is but a sickly distortion. You
know not of that restless night.
that sick husband, or tretful
babe, or private grief. You do
not realize that a day off means
docked wages, for business knows
no mercy; and dollars and cents
have no sympathy. The clerk
must stand to his post, else those
pushing from behind may crowd
into his place. Nothing is easier
than to supply vacancies.
There is too much shopping
done from carriage windows.
Avoid calling out the busy clerks,
but 60 inside, or send some friend
who will serve you.
Do your shopping before five
o'clock, especially in warm
weather. True. the nap at home
in your cool corner is hardly 60
ing before that hour, and then
you must have your breezy drive,
fetching up at SIX o'clock to buy
something. This is just right for
you; but how about the pale book
keeper back in her little dark,
hot pen, obliged to wait till you
are gone to record the charges, or
the cash, for both must 60 down?
How about the clerks who, hav-
ing stood idle since dinner, must
now fold up and put away and
cover with dust spreads every
counter in the store, when the
'thour has come to close doors and
go home.
| Our readers are all devoted to
good words and works. Do not,
then, forget the bloodless battles
that are daily and hourly fought
behind the counters.
