under water. The people, who seem
to have possessed comparatively
high civilization, sought this LOCALITY
AS a place Of residence because OF the
abundance Of food IN the nelghbor-
hood. They planted logs perpen-

throwing up the earth around them.
In no other fashion could they have
set the piles securely without the Md

ADAMS 8 ARTHUR. Proprietors.


Shoppers in ono Of the big stores
down s5wn last bargain day ~curiously
watched the movements Of q blind
woman at the dress goods counter. She
was about 30 years old, her face show
ing great intelligence and refinement
She was richly dressed for the street,
and a girl about 30 years old accompa-
MED her.
The blind woman examined the fab
RIGS placed before her by passing them
through her hands. She depended upon
her own sense Of touch apparently, for
she seldom spoke to her companion, and
then only in answer to questions. She
appeared to be quite critical, and before
she made her selection the counter was
piled high with patterns Of all kinds.
After she had examined a large mum
Der of pieces she took up one of the
first that had beer shown her and de-
cided TO buy it.
When the clerk had measured it, she
verified the lengtfs herself by measur-
ing it with her outstretched arms.
Seemingly satisfied that the piece con-
tanned as much as she had bargained
for, she took a transfer ticket and went
tc the eo1a:ar h trimmings are
sold. There she selected the material
with which to finish her dress, examin-
ing the laces and other delicate fabrics
most critically.
After the blind woman had left the
store the floor manager said her shop
ping was not a IN unusual thing. She
was but n of thesaany blind custom
ers who came into the store regularly.
This woman, he said, was not only able
to make the incest discrimination in
the matter Of trimmings, but SO deli
cate was her touch she could often dis
tinguish colors. He added, however,
that she never depended entirely upon
her touch in matching siedes, bat veri-
fed her selections with the eyes of the
clerk and her companion. - Chicago
