No corn is wormproof The worm is
the bollworm of cotton, bud worm Of

SHOPPING MADE EASY.
Professional Retail Buyers Relieving
Busy society Women.

In order that she may be tastefully
and attractively dressed the average
woman will undergo martyrdom in the
way of a days shopping, returning
home with violent headache. The re-
suit frequently is that the head of the
house, falling to find companionship at
home. takes to his club, domestic
squalls ensue and a miserable time gen
orally follows. All this may now be
avoided by employing the professional
shopper, who, for a fee TidiculOusly
small in comparison with the time and
money spent in the old way, to say
nothing of the misery referred to above
undertakes the purchase of whatever
is desired in the way of personal adorn-
ment. 1t is a positive fact, proved by
actual trial and accomplishment. that
an entire household, with respect to
its women and children. can be stylish
ly and inexpensively dressed, from hats
and parasols down to rubbers, without
one of its members spending a single
hour in planning or buying.
In order to do all this there is Of
necessity some one upon whose should-
ers the burden must fall. This person
is a professional dress artist and shop
per, and her system, which includes the
minutest details, is a very finished one.
The woman, for it is natural that only
a woman should adopt this profession,
comes to the house, and after finding
out the sum available for the purpose,
looks well over the wardrobes of those
whom she is to supply and decides what
is needful. using her professional taste
and knowledge of styles to guide her
judgment. She then takes the measure
ments. from which she figures the guam
tity of goods she needs, and. armed
with these memoranda. goes where she
can most advantageously buy what is
required. OF course, in making out her
lists. she is guided by the personal
wishes of her ~patroness. but even this
is usually left entirely to the good sense
and artistic judgment Of the profess
sional shopper, for it is by reason Of
pre-eminence in these qualities that
she gains her livelihood.
IL is said that the idea Of profession
al shopping had its birth in the fertile
brain of fashionable dressmaker, whose
eyesight began to fail under the severe
strain to which il was subjected i'm the
endeavor to fill her orders for the East
er season. Being the sole support Of
her invalid mother and at the same
time putting her sister through a med
zeal college, she was veTging on des-
peration until she conceived the inge-
NOUS idea of shopping for her former
Her customers were so re-
ceptive of her plans and left so much
TO her own judgment that she has late
ly assumed the additional title OF
dress artist" Several swell dressmak-
ers quickly followed her example. have
forsaken their old profession and taken
20 shopping for a livelihood. for they
assert there is more money in it.

THE WILDS OF CHICAGO
Butte Man Held Up and Robbed
in Broad Daylight.
THE BANDITS CAPTURED
The Affair Happened OF One of the
Main Streets-Policemen Appeared
just in Time to Save Bent
ley's Wad.

Alfred Bentley. a young miner from
Butte. went East a few weeks ago on
a visit. He had a roll in his pocket and
expected to see something of the wild
and woolly East. He had heard a great
deal about Indians roaming wild on the
streets of Chicago and other undesir-
able communities. and about stage
robbers and highwaymeu holding up
lonely travellers upon the city streets.
He did not believe the stories OF the
wicked and uncivilized East and he
wanted to investigate and see for him
self. The Chicago Times-Herald Of last
Friday tells what success he met with
in his investigation.
Chicago was about his first stopping
place. 1t was early in the afternoon of
the second day after his arrival. He
was walking along state street. Chi
Cages biggest and busiest thorough
fare. He was wondering about the
toughness and wooliness of the town
If which he had heard, and began 10
think the place was not So bad as il
had been painted to him. but his doubt
was removed as he approached Van
Buren, street, and two men with guns
commanded him to halt. Bentley
stopped, and the two robbers. who were
both colored. relieved him of his watch
and were just reaching for his vest
pocket, where he had $3.50 I'm a roll,
when two policemen hove in sight, took
i'm the situation and bore down on the
robbers. The latter made a desperate
effort to escape. and when the officers
caught them they showed fight, and
the police were finally compelled to
club them into submission.
The negroes gave their names as
James White and Joe Brown. They
were landed in Jail and Bentley was
taken along as a witness. Bentley told
the officers that as soon as they got
through with him he would hurry back
To Butte and stay there. where at
least he was not in danger of being
held up and robbed on one of the main
streets in the broadest kind of day

QUEER MANILA TOWN.
sketch of Philippines Capital. Its Strange
People and Customs.

One peculiar business custom of Ma
Mia would prove immensely popular in
American cities, though ii would hard
ly survive beyond the first month of
is introduction. This is the famous
chit" or credit system. With some
trifiing exceptions no one in Manila
ever thinks of paying cash for any
thing he buys. Items are not "charg-
ed" as with us, but the purchaser al
ways writes his name on a piece of pa
per with an Il O u" and the amount of
the Indebtedness above -
This custom ras become universal
and doubtless originated in the cloth
ing worn by men. their white suits not
being provided with pockets in which
any considerable amount of coin can
be carried. Bank notes are unknown
i'm Manila. the Mexican silver COLLAR
being the basis of all the circulating
medium. Gold is sometimes employed,
a dollar having double the purchasing
power of d silver coin Of the same de-
nomination.
The fmprovident credit system is uni
versaI there. everything from a chick
en- to a cook stove being exchanged for
promises to pay. There are, of course,
exceptions. postage stamps. street car
fare and other small matters being paid
for i'm cash. But there comes a day of
reckoning, the first of each month. One
who has been living for 30 days with
out money must then provide himself
with a bag of silver and spend the day
in redeeming his paper" On the first
pay day he learns that the natives in
trusting him have followed a custom
rather than relied upon his honor. They
carefully bite each coin and ring IL on
the floor before making up their minds
to accept it as genuine.
