The Clerks Mistake Again.

TO the Editor:

Clerks Mistake" repubi.hed by request in last
Saturdays edition OF The Evening World"

the clerk should have marked the piece OF furni-
ture $500. The explanation is this: The clerk
sold tn. furniture fo- 500. less 20 per cent, or
siGo net. and lost 20 per cent. on the selling
price. which would make the cost Of the furniture
slss. Now. as he was instructed to sell 1t so
he could give a discount Of 90 per cent. and
still make u PROFIT of Is per cent. he should
have sold 1t for SEQ net or $500, less 20 per
cent A. r. MARSH,

cannot see him. and not only shuffies

An actress grows old az sidereal time
goes on, but she Is ever young and beau
tiful in her newspaper notices. and she
would no more think OF confessing to
wrinkle or permitting one to ruffle her
countenance than she would of conced-
ing that there was any other actress on
earth as good az herself in her line.
Yet there is story in the morning
papers to the effect that woman had a
beauty expert taX!derm her face so as TO

In the world and they are not alone In this opin-
ION. Max O'Rell the Frenchman. who not
particularly friendly towards England, as some o.
his writings show. has over and over again AZ.
serted that England was n freer country than

Rev. DR.. Macarthur have made practically the
same remark Queen Victoria has nothing what
ever to do with making laws for the English peo-
pie. She has less power than the President, and
reigns. but does not rule. The idea that . Repub-
lie must necessarily be freer than . limited

army whether they want to or not, while In Eng
