want one which cost less than $l2. She
said that she was extremely sorry, but
the 81 one was the best they had The
man left to see IL he could not get what
he wanted somewhere else.
II so happened that the proprietor OF
the store overheard the conversation,
and as soon as the man was out Of
hearing he approached the young sales
woman and took her to task for losing
the sale.
"You should have told him that the
boa was originally $12, but that II had
been marked down to 81" he said.
But that would not have been the
truth" she replied.
1T does not matter, that is what you
should have done" he reborted.
'fDo you wish me to misrepresent the
goods and deceive our customers by
telling them falsehoods?' she asked.
81 want you to make sales" he said,
and with that he left her.
Some time later she received notice
that her services would not be re-
quired any longer, and now she would
like to interview the man who wrote
that brief little story entitled Hon
esty is the Best Policy" for she feels
that he caused her to lose her situa-

ONE OE MS FRTENps.

Several evenings ago some railroad
men found a friend in what they sup
posed to be a helpless state of intoxi-
cation. He was lying down, and all OF
their endeavOrs to get him TO stand
were fruitless. Not wishing to see him
arrested and arraigned in the Muni-
cipal Court ais a drunkard they decided
to carry him TO his home, which was
not more than four or-five blocks away.
-Four Of them picked him up and
marched solemnly up the street, every
one, wondering what had happened,
and The crowd of small boys Slowly,
but surely. increasing in size. When
they reached the poor mans domicile
they put him down that they might APP
prise his wife of the condition Of her
husband, thinking that she might, at
first glance, believe that he had been
run down on the road. No sooner was
he down than he was up. Turning 70
his astOnished friends he said:
much oblige, boys. You certainly
saved me a long walk, and I was ex-
ceedingly tired
1t dawned upon them that they had
been hoaxed, and the crowd of small
boys was quick to appreciate the situ-
alton. The youngsters guyed the VIC,
tins OF the joke so persistently thai
they were glad to get out of the neigh
borhood, but they declare that II they
ever see that man lying on the track
with a fast train bearing down upoI
him. they will not move a muscle tC
save him, after the scurvy treatmen'
they received at his hands.

Perhaps most persons think thar
when dead body is shipped on the
railroad it goes as freight, but such is
not the case The corpse travels as a
first-class passenger. A ticket is pur-

the dead person were alive and riding
in the passenger coach. There Is one
feature about ii, however, which does
not apply to a live person No round

HER coNcEPTION on IT.

There is in the Girls High School
girl who will never make a Hetty
Green. Recently one of the teachers
was examining a class in commercial
forms, and in the course OF the ex-
animation she reduested each Of the
girls to draw the form of a draft as
nearly perfect as she could do 50. One
of the young misses was the sister OF
a trained nurse. When she handed In
her form the teacher saw nothing on
the paper but a rough sketch Of the in
terror of a room with both window
and door open.
What do you mean by this?" she
demanded.
IT'S a draught," retorted the young
miss.
you must have given me the wrong
piece OF paper" suggested the teacher,
mo, ma'am," was the reply, that's
the right piece. If you examine II
carefully you will see that / have left
the window and door open. and that
is the only kind Of a draught that
know anything about"
She ought TO have had a whipping
but she escaped with a reprimand.

1T SET HIM 10 THINKING.

Employed in one Of the prominent
business houses Of this city is a young
man Of conYiHial habits who frequently
finds himself in doubt as to the real
state of his head
In the house In which he is employed
the telephone is so placed that a per-
son can sit in a chair and converse
with a person at the other end of the
wire. When first put up, the instru-
ment was a triflle too low, say six or
eight inches. and this rendered the
position OF the user rather cramped.
In the absence Of the convivial
young man the telephone company was
requested to send someone to raise the
telephone to the proper height. The
response was prompt, and before the
convivial young man returned the al
teration was effected.
Soon after coming in he had occa-
sion to make a'call Going to the tele-
phone he sat down. turned the handle
and said: "Hellow before giving the
numbers. All at once he hung up the
trumpet, turned to the others in the
room and said:
This telephone has been changed" {"
No It hasn't" was the response.
What" he exclaimed.
It's just the same that il has al
ways been.' was the reply.
You don't mean it?"
Certainly"
He got up out Of the chair. walked
to the centre of the room and survey
ed the instrument carefully Return
ing to the chair he tried the thing
again. Finally he got up and said:
Well, I've heard of twelve glasses
OF beer giving man a swelled head.
but it's the first time that IL ever cut
me down foot in height"
IL was frank confession, and he was
sorry he made it. for Just as the last
words left his lips he espied the holes
Where the old screws had been taken
ont, and other evidence of the work
tnat had been done In his absence.
