Game is Decreasing.

The South African game animals have,
in recent years, been quickly disappear
ing on account of sportsmen, disease and
other causes more or less due to the ad
vance of civilization. In the case of
many species the numbers have dwindled
from immense herds to only a scattered
few preserved in a Semi-Wild state on
the farms of some of the natives and
settlers. There can be little doubt that
the present war will still further diminish
the numbers of large animals.-NeW

Tho Sample Fiend.

Coming suddenly upon salesman in
a retail store who had a number of
yard long lengths of new piques hber-
ally sprinkled with shose little price
tags (the pins all stuck through the
several thicknesses and bent down.,
one understood all at once the full
import of the demands Of the sample
fiend. Marked off evenly like a check
erboard, with seventeen price tags
lengthwise and seven to the width,
which made 119 to the yard. the sales
man was going over rhe lot with o
pencil setting down the width and
price on each.
At one store the one who is at the
head Of each stock attends to the pre-
pairing of the samples of his particu-
lar stock. Thus the pique samples
would be cut by one, samples of swiss
by another, and SO on. In the silk de-
partment one man. who is kept for the
purpose. does it all. And it takes all
his time.
For people from a distance who do
their buying by mail this is of course
a very good method. But the part to
which all sane people take exception
is the senseless sampling of those who
wander aimlessly about, evidently
gathering samples as thoughtless
child sometimes pulls twigsin rassing
bushes. The worst of it is we have to
pay for this senseless woman's fool
ishness, it being often observable
that the biggest samplers are the
smallest buyers. One clerk says that
he has actually seen thrown upon the
sidewalks the samples given to a wom-
an, after showing her the whole stock,
her purchase being ostensibly post
poned beoa use of her fear that the
goods will not match something or
other.

went to feed the insaniate crazy quilt
