Incident OF . Department. stOrs-A Bit
Of Human Nature

Incident OF . Department. stOrs-A Bit
of Human Nature
1t was In one of the big department
stores, says the Washington Post. Two
women stood near each other before .
counter, where the belongings Of very
little children are sold. Both looked
with wistful yet widely different ex-
pressions at the tiny garments dis
played. The one woman asked to be
shown knitted undervests for q baby.
The saleswoman drew out q box and
took from It some absurdly small gar
ments, soft, creamy. feecy, the most
delightful combination Of silk and
wool The woman-a young woman
she was, almost a girl-took them In
her hands with evident delight
How much are they?" she asked.
The saleswoman named a price that
was twice the size Of the tiny shirts.
"Apiece?" asked the would-be Gus
toner, timidly.
yes" answered the salesvoman-
The customer put down the little
garments. She hooked tired and weak
and bitterly disappointed. It's heart
breaking not to be able to buy what
you want fer your baby.

In her throat
The other woman, who had been
looking into the showcase, had seen
II all. She spoke to the saleswoman
brusQuely.
81 can't wait any longer" she said.
Tell me the price Of that bonnet over
there"
The saleswoman hurried to obey.
One doesn't keep a ehinchilla collar
and an imperious manner waiting If
one knows ones business. There was
a moments whispering and the sales
woman returned to her waiting Gus
toner. From another box she pro-
duced some garments precisely similar
to the too expensive ones.
Here's some shirts" said she. that
we've marked down to close out We
have only a few left. They're only"
And the "only" was exactly half the
price she had named before. It wasn't
cleverly done, but It deceived the tired
woman. She went away with the visit
full look gone from her face. The
chinchilla collar went down In the
same elevator with her, and the face
above the collar wore a look almost Of
envy added to its wistfulness, fan
cied-though It's folly OF course, to
imagine that women with ehinehilla
collars and imperious manners ever
envy tired women who have to ask for
something cheaper.

THE DAGUERREOTYPE

You're Just as near a relative a. the
Gordons, Jet they have got everything,
Just because they were there when
your aunt died: and then because they
knew you were entitled to something.

The cause Of this outburst was an
oblong green pasteboard box, which
had Just arrived, and whose contents,

the express paid on It. An accom-
panying note, addressed to Mrs. Stone
In explanation Of the box, was a. fol-

Dear Eleanor: / send you here

know Aunt Marcia must have had some
money, and as for the bother Of her

makes me doubly sure she left some

kind to put themselves out for nothing.
II we only had Just q little Of her
money to tide US over until you get
well and put us on our feet again.
Aunt Marcia was Miss Marcia Per-
kins, a maiden great-aunt OF Eleanor
Stone, who had lived somewhat as q

Eleanor turned the box upside down.

 BoRN-At La Colorado, Sonora, Mexico, Wednesday, February Sth, 1899, to the wife of Fred Cole, a daughter.
 Messrs. J. G. Kendall and Tom Bentley of the Creston mine, are all smiles over having won prize in a recent lottery drawing.
 Recently MT. W. T. Barrett, mana ger of La Colorado store, and five of his clerks have been ill, which made much harder work for the others.
 In the Creston mine work has com menced opening up the eleven hun dred foot level The station is being cut out, gallery will be run six or seven hundred feet to the north ledge, and a great deal of development work will be done on both sides.
 Mir. Barrett, Manager of La Colo rada store, has bought all the build ings in the block where the store is situated, and to have the use of the various stores has terminated the 0c- cupancy of the restaurant and the butcher shop. The restaurant people have leased the dining room of the Hotel Central and are holding forth there.
 MT. c. l.. Lake has sold his station cry and news store at La Colorado to hr. Miller, the druggist, who on the first of February moved into the premises formerly occupied by Mir. Lake. MT. Miller has greatly in- creased his stock of drugs and sta tionery, and will make the establish ment meet all the growing needs of She place.
