 "We the members, heartily endorse the closing of retail stores at p. m., in accordance with the request of the Wo- mans Club and the Clerks Association, and each and every one of us pledge ourselves not to buy any goods except at a union store and except at those that close at D. m.

 Brothers, keep up the good work; get all of the clerks in line, and we will as- sist you by calling for cards every time we make purchase. Our motto will be: No union store, no go in; no clerk with card, no buy"

JACK AND THE GENERAL
An Impression Winch Was the Reverse of
 What He Expected

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 There is a man in Chicago" said ma jor of the civil war, "who, whenever l meet him, rubs his shoulder and passes me with a mischievous smile. That is a reminder of his encounter with Nelson soon after the division left Corinth Jack was serving as commissary sergeant and was proud of his rank He fitted himself out with a revolver and cavalry saber and rode an under-sized mule. with the air of a man enjoying a great privilege. Jack had great admira- tion for Nelson and he had intimated to the boys that he suspected that the general liked him, because of his natty appearance and his rather unusual armament.
 "One morning as the regiment was wait ing in line to pass in review before Nelson, who, with his staff, was stationed on the roadside at the head of the column, Jack came down the road on his mule. He gave the boys triumphant look and said to those within hearing: See me make an im- pression on the general He rode on, ob- livious of the look on Nelsons face, and when in front of the general made what he regarded as a most stunning salute. Nelson, who did not tolerate any departure from army usage or regula ton, glared at Jack and his mount, and then spurring his large horse forward, shouted: Get off that mule blank you to blank; get off that mule now'
 "Jack was a resourceful fellow, and, bringing his mule to a quick-about face, he evaded Nelson, saluted and started back. Nelson wheeled and came down on mule and rider like hurricane. As he overlook Jack he shouted: Get off that mule and struck at the luckless rider with his sword using it a paddle. After receiving one spank Jack threw himself from the mule and scrambled up the steep bank at the roadside, Nelson spanking him as long as any part of Jacks body was within reach. As Jack stood rubbing himself Nelson roar ed, Come down, sir, and the boys in line yelled and laughed Jack shook his head, and Nelson, realizing that he was not play ing the generals part, rode away, murmur- ing: "A commissary sergeant on mulei The next thing all the privates will be rid ing broomsticks' D

Coming Out Party of Future
 Belle Discussed by Her Papa

Three future belles of Birmingham are biissfully ignorant of the arrangements their fond papa declares he Is making for their eomingout parties. Their debut in the social world are far in the future, and he has a number of years to complete his plans. A bachelor friend was congratulat- ing him the other day upon the beauty of his little daughters wno, of course, inher- fed 1t from their mother. Married men have long. ago grown accustomed to the beauty and brilliancy of the family being accredited to the mother or perhaps this old world has long ago discovered that a man looks thoroughly happy when he is told his beautiful brown-eyed little darling resembles her mother, or that his blue eyed boy inherits the brilliant qualities of his mother, for when the world acknowl- edges this question of inheritance, Is it not a tribute to the fine tasse of the man in the selection of a wife?
 The handsome young Benedict did not resent the statement in tne least that his little daughters were following in the foot stps of their mother as far as beauty and future belleship was concerned. But later on the conversation turned to the pres<t wants of the little ones.
 Their papa declared that all three de- manded tne same thing at the same time, and there was no way out of the difficulty that he could see. If number one was pre- scented with anything, number two saw no reason why she should De left out in the cod, and ,his gave numLer three an ex- cuse ito put in her claims, true, in a gurs- Ming sort of way but not to be ignored. His bachelor friend laughed and a woman knowing whereof she spoke, said, quite seriously:
 What will you do when they all come out? Do you know what is in store for you?'' she continued, and si.e went on to speak of the expensive colleges for young women, the European trips and other things, which the fashionable girl must have these days.

HAM SMELLING AS A BUSINESS
Peculiar Occupation for Which Only 8 Few
 Are Qualified

From the Kansas City Star.
 The ham-smeller's only tools are a long steel trier and his nose. He stands in a barrel to keep his clothes from. being soied by the dripping brine, and the hams are brought to him, and he plunges his sharp pointed trier into 1t, withdraws it and passes it swiftly beneath his nose The trier always goes down to the knuckle- joint.
 In testing meat in that manner the man with the trier judges by the slightest shade of difference between the smell of one piece of meat and another The smell of the meat Is almost universally sweet, and that is what he smells; the slightest taint or deviation from the sweet smell is therefore appreciable. It is not the de- gree of taint that he expects to find, but the slightest odor that is not sweet $ When he detects odor he throws the meat inside, and 1t is not unwnolesome it is sold as rejected" meat, but if it is tainted it goes to the Rendering tank. The hamtestT smells meat from 2 o'clock in the morning until o'clock at night, and his sense must never become jaded or in- exact, or his usefulness would be at an end.
 Ham-testing is not a pursuit dangerous to the health, as tea-tasting is supposed to be, but the ham-smeller with q cold in his head is like a pano-player who loses his arm in railroad wreck.
