Such thing couldn't happen to-day

about 25 years back, and 1t was told at

A Woman's CIeverness.

A good story is told of the cleverness
of a woman in transaction with an in
surance adjuster. The parlor curtains
took fire, and before the blaze was eX-
'tinguished the carpet was badly
scorched. After looking over the dam
age the representative of the company
said she was entitled to the value of a
new carpet-S100. eve will allow you
that sum-" continued the man, land we
will take your old carpet" why.
what can you do with it?" "Oh, we'll
sell it secondhand and get back $40 or
$12 at least" was the careless reply, in
tended to make the company's attitude
as generous as possible. I'm that case"
promptly put in the owner of the car
pet, "sell it to me. I'll give you $12 for
it." The adjuster could only comply.
with the result that this quick-witted
chatelaine got new parlor carpet with
a handsome moquette floor covering as
well for an upper room that needed it
for S12.

Only in such IL resort can one get O

parently, as he immediately followed 1t
with q beefsteak, fried potatoes and
coffee. All of this vanished before
had finished my strawberries, and the
young mans place was taken by a sleek
looking gentleman, who got single
egg with brown bread and glass OF
water, upon the destruction OF which he
drew from his rear coat tail pocket
small parcel, took therefrom a glass
about as big as thimble, and poured
some sort of medicine into it, which he
tossed off with an air of patient resigna-
ton. A woman with a face that would
split wood sat just beyond, reading
newspaper through pair OF gold
glasses between desultory nibbles OF
dry toast and furtive assaults on a little
metal teapot on her right. The tea
and the toast cost five cents each, but
she got five dollars worth out of them.
She looked daggers at a young gourmet
across the way, who began breakfast
with an omelet, called for clean plate
and got away with a huge veal outlet
and fried potatoes and two glasses OF
milk, closing things with two big sec
tions of fruit cake as an evidence OF

Such terrible abuses of the human
stomach as can be witnessed in these
places would brighten a savage. Dur

is bolted within few minutes-or, at
least, but half masticated-that ought
to have claimed half or three-quarters
of an hour. The women, as a rule, eat
sparingly. Women in restaurants la

The price is a leading consideration.
They look over the bill of fare for the

sponged Dealers declare that the
average shopper is SO taken with the
specious gloss of the unsponged cloth
that it does not pay to sell it without
this gloss. AS a matter of fact, this
gloss, which is removed by sponging,
is put on by the manufacturer at con-
siderable trouble, merely to attract Gus
tom. Tailors invariably display
''sponged cloths" As no such fictitious
value seems to attract the male Gus
toner or the woman who goes to the
tailor for her gown, it is quite probable
that the slight shrinkage to which
sponged cloth is subject Is cause for
the ordinary merchants objection to
the sale of sponged goods. The COM
petition in all drygoods is so great that
the few pennies loss from the shrink

lily affect the price that must be
charged.

thoroughly. Where this work must be
done at home the best way is to wiring
out in cold water sheets or pieces of cot

ally yard and half, and lay the pieces
smoothly over the cloth, and roll it up
firmly. Wrap a layer of dry cotton
around this roll, and let it rest in some

unroll it gradually, and press it with a
hot iron on the wrong side until almost

many styles of dress goods not included
in tailor cloths are improved by spong-
ing. Pongee silk and other soft India
silks are always treated in this way by
expert dressmakers to prevent them
fading. Any very glossy goods of such
high finish as to suggest their having
been passed over hot calenders to give
them a specious gloss, should always
be tested with water to see if it spots
them. If it does, sponge a sample and
see what the goods look like after this
process.-N. Y. Tribune.

How Small Shareholders Are Often
Swindled.
Six thimbles and two peas in the
hands of ring of skilled professionals
do not leave much chance for outsiders,
however smart and wideawake they
may think themselves. Not only do the
insiders have the concoction of the vari-
Gus companies and the fixing of their
original capitalization, which practical.
ly determines their future value, but
says the National Review, they have
the entire management of them. They
can decide which of the half-dozen is tc
pay the big dividends and which are tc
draw blanks. They have all the initia-
tive, do all the manipulating, and can
arrange every new scheme to suit them
selves. They might even strip com.
pany of it's assets and reduce it to ar
empty husk before the shareholders
could Interfere to prevent them. The
proprietary or parent company is in.
that respect most at their mercy. Say
that it starts with so many claims to de-
velop-a thousand it may be-and that
it divides them up among four or five
working companies.
The usual course is to receive in pay
ment of the claims an agreed number of
the sub-company's shares. These pass
into the treasury of the parent COM
pany, buttherei is no obligation on the di-
rectors to keep them longer than they
please, and no guarantee to the share
holders that they will be kept. They
may be sold, pawned, exchanged, or put
in trust at the pleasure of the directors,
who have invariably proxies enough to
give them complete control.
