1t is not often that an individual reaches
such condition that he considers life in
the workhouse as a prisoner more de-
sirable than liberty and the pure air of
freedom. Such. however. was the plight
of John Smith. and in the Police Court to-
day his desires were amply met.
Smith is seventy-four years of age, and
is an old soldier" explained Capt. Cutler,
superintendent of the night lodging house,
after John had been arraigned as va
grant. Liquor is the curse of his exist
enoe. He wants to stop drinking, but finds
1t impossible to do so. The best thing for
him is to put him where he can't get

fall exhausted. After allowing him a
rest OF minute or two | would raise
him up on his feet and either start
him or help him along until he would
drop again. In his exhausted state he
lid no realize our ser GUS 5itua ion, nor
did he care to come further, simply
wanting to rest and go to sleep in the
snow.
l urged and helped him on as far as
ne could go, when l placed him in
sheltered spot and sitting upright. Our
matches were all wet and / could not
make a fire. Told him I was going
for help and would be back in lit
tie while (Which l am sure he ddnot

ley as fast as possible, calling for help.
After going about three miles ! caught
up with party of six who had travel
ed with us on the steamboat. Frank
Kress, one of the party, went back
with me at once, taking some extract
of beef and other things with us, hop
ing to find Henry alive and be able to
warm him up. Two more of the party
were to bring blankets and food for
us all for several days, but when Kress
and / reached Henry he was lying on
he ground, where had left him-dead!
Yesterday, Sunday, the 18th, relief
party went out from town to lend aid,
and finding Henry dead, buried him
there. The ground is frozen within a
foot of the surface and the body will
keep all right until winter, when it
will be brought to town and buried
here.

but who was never physically able for
the terrible sufferings which must be
encountered in the mad search for gold
in that terrible climate.

The "salesladys" side Of the shop
ping question Is lot often heard.
When 1t Is size is usually making a
complaint ar,Nit the customer who
shops, turns over goods and never buys.
The woman behind the counter does
not care for sympathy. but she appre-
ciates politeness Ia .he customers she
waits upon.
This is story o. small New Ing
land ty. where people are little more
shaken toge her than they are In larger
cities. This woman was really a lady
and was a store clerk from necessity.
There she had many pleasant dealings
with customer who always came to
her to be waited upon and whom she
took great pains TO serve.
X CHANGED during one Of the winters
that she was invited to card parties at
which she met her customer socially.
THAT is. there was a formal Introduce
ion. Possibly there was not as much
real sociability as over the counter.
Then the two met on the street. Tha
customer was looking in an opposite d.
toner, although her eyes were appar-
emily gazing straight into the eyes OF
the clerk saw only vacancy.
81 am sensitive" said the clerk to
herself. She did not see me. l will
be more sure another time"
In the meantime the customer had
called at the shop and received the
usual respectful attention from her fav-
C..te clerk.
Then for a third time customer and
clerk met on the street and this time
there could be no mistake; the GUS
toner did see the clerk. 1t was plain,
and it was equally pain that she did
not intend to speak tc her.
81 did not expect her to do more than
speak TO me courteously." said the
clerk, relating the experience, but
under the circumstances ! did expect
that. have waited Oh her for the last
time. She comes into the shop now.
and If am entirely at leisure let her

take her order She has taken up my
time In the shop telling of her intimate
family affairs, il which | am in no way
Interested. She has keen very pleasant
and very familiar. | do not care for
that. but do eXpect courteous
recognition"
Undoubtedly it Is foolish for any
woman, clerk or not, to feel that 1t is
worth while being offeaded because
some woman fails to recognize her.
