there are peop o In the stores that are ca
titled to be reckonei among the saints

idea is to have salesmen who know
the price OF the goods and but

day that he is looking Tor hard times until
the Democrats are thrown out of power.
He said that while he usually had in the
vicinity of $4,000 worth of fall
and winter goods ordered by this
time, no now has but very
small proportion OF this amount ordered.
and he does not propose to order until
trade develops and be can have some as
surance that the goo Is will not lie on his
counters unsold. Children and ladies

There was once woman who was tho
despair Of all the other women Of her ac-
quaintance. Her house was as pretty as
possible and always in perfect order. She
kept it on a very small income and kept 1t
beautifully; she made all her own clothes
and those of her child; she trimmed hats
for herself and her sisters, she did fancy
work; she painted chairs, thereby saving
sometimes as much as IS cents; she taught
class in a mission sewing school; she took
lessons in cooking; she belonged to several
charitable organizations, and the end
that woman was nervous prostration and

the much delayed sympathy OF philan-
thropic people. 1t is not every unfortu-
nate person, however. who Is able TO tell
his woes in verse, correctly measured
and properly footed up, so to speak.
