woMENFAILuREs AT SHOPPING

It IL Rare That They Know what They
Want to Buy.
1T is q singular thing that with the
amount OF shopping done by women
they should continue to shop so badly
badly, | mean, in the sense of shop
ping with an absolute lack OF system"
writes Edward Box In the November
Ladies' Home Journal, Here and
there we meet woman to whom God
seems to have given logical mind
which she applies to her shopping. But
as q general thing the assertion that
women shop with an utter lack Of sys-
tenn Is unfortunately all too easy OF
proof And curlously enough, 1t is not
alone those behind the counter who
suffer, for tho women themselves make
their shopping doubly hard by their
lack of system. The percentages OF
women who love to shop and those
who hate shopping seem about equal,
so far as / can make out The methods
which both employ, however, are pref
ty much the same, The only marked diff
ference apparently being the entire alb
sence OF all method in the one case and
the existence of only a very poor meth
cd In the other. Take hundred wom-
en- who 60 for days shopping, and
1t Is perfectly safe to say that ninety
OF them will have not the slightest idea

Kansas City, Nov, lot is held by

that the higher rates from inter

to undue prejudice, and that IL the car

port rates, they should in making them
treat all intermediate territory alike,
and desist henccforth from charging
higher rates to the nearer stations
than those at the more distant points,
This is on the case of alleged dis
eliminating rates on Kansas grain,

Truth, reason and logic, maintained
by integrity and courage. may be tenn
porarily defeated by plot of all the
resources of power, position. wealth and
organization, consolidated with all the
villanies; but God is Truth, omnipotent,
and must prevail at last.
No triumph is worth having that is
due to the Devil and falsehood. On the
contrary, such false victory is dis
graceful defeat, at which all nature re-
volts. The most signal failure Is an al
legged success won by fraud and force
in alliance.
Better die fighting wrong. than to
win the whole world by the surrender;
and until one arrives at that distinct
and immovable conviction, his life is
not only not worth living, but is a
shame to him.
