A Dry Goods Clerk Who Ii Used for
Smoothing Down Irate Purchasers.
A new industry has just been intro
duced into Denver. In every large re-
tail Establishment there is an innumer-
able number of ''lsicks' to be regis
tered, and it keeps one man busy
smoothing down the ruff ed customers,
who often kick without reason. One
of these managers of kicllers has hit
upon novel device by which he molli-
fes the angry. A reporter for the Sun
was sitting in his little Office the other
day, watching him pour oil on the trou-
bled waters.
A lady came in with blood in her eye.
The goods which she had purchased
were not as represented she claimed.
s'Be seated, madam" said the mana
ger, land will try to locate the
blame"
He touched a little button on his
desk and cash boy appeared.
'Tell Jackson to come here at once. !"
Jackson soon arrived, looking very
guilty. He was rather handsome
young man, but was evidently agitated.
''This lady says that you told her
these goods were all silk. How came
you to make such statement, sir?'
81 thought"
"You knew better. This is the second
time you have made this misstatement,
and l shall have to dispense with your
services Take these goods back and
draw your money and leave at once"
Jackson bowed and stammered and
made his escape.
81 don't think that was the sales
man, "began the lady; "the one I
bought these of had beard
mo matter; Jackson is responsible
for all the mistakes in that depart
ment and I'm glad that I dismissed
him"
The lady went out, feeling very sor-
ry that she had caused the young man
to lose his situation.
She had no more than gone when
another woman came bristling in and
said:
81 paid for three yards of this ging-
ham and got only a little over two. I
won't be cheated. 1t is a little matter,
but want nv rights"
s'Be seated, madam, and I'll see what
can be done"
He touched the bell and he said to
the boy:
''Tell Jackson to come here at once"
jackson appeared, trembling as be-
fore
''You have been selling short meas
ure in ginghams again. I've had enough
of that sort of thing. You are dis
charged"
But IL"
mot a word, sir. You are dis
charged"
The woman pleaded for him, but the
manager was adamant.
When she had gone he turned round
with grim smile.
at works well, doesn't it?"
''Do you really keep him here to be
fred?"
''He has nothing else to do except to
keep out of sight. People are always
satisfied when they succeed in getting
a clerk discharged, and he is already
becoming used to it. COLORADO Sun

The Bowery saloon was doing rushing
