SOME ODD WAGERS.
Queer Contests In Which Royalty
Took an Active Part.

ed an article devoted to odd wagers.
APPARENTLY with a view to putting an
end to the fiction that women cannot
shop as expeditiously as men, we'll
known woman novelist und ertook
lately to drive through several London
streets. stop at every milliner's shop
on the route, but some articles at
each, and return to her house in the
space OF an hour and half. the re-
ceipt for each article purchased to be
produced, not necessarily for filing,
but as a guarantee of good faith. She
won her wager, but only with a few
minutes to spare.
"Old Q'-the famous Duke of
Quee nsberry-had an extraordinary
fertil Imagination for weird and novel
contests. Passing a wheelwright's
shop one day, he noticed one OF the
workmen trundling a big wheel into
the yard. The man was running at a
good pace, and it Immediately oc.
curred to "Old Q" that here was an
opportunity for an absolutely mover
competition. After some converse
ton with the wheelwright. he learned
that man could probably run faster
with a wheel than without one, the
wheel no doubt acting as a sort OF
pacemaker Having obtained this
valuable information. the duke
promptly arranged match between
the wheelwright and certain fleet
footed barber CT Oxford street. and
offered substantial prize to the win
ner. The conditions were that lle
wheelwright should trundle one Of the
back wheels of the dukes carriage,
while the barber of course, should

ADS. FOR WOMEN.
Hints of Value to Those Who Would
Win Trade.

WIN TdQc.
1t is estimated by expert guessers
that 80 per cent. of women read adj
vertisements. If this is the case,
then study Of these interesting speci-
mems OF humanity will not be value
less.
Be it far from me to give an expert
testimony regarding the workings OF a
woman's mind, but my most crafty
ing success has been in writing adver-
tisements which appeal to women.
There are two things which must be
borne in mind by advertisers They
are that womens sympathy is one OF
her weakest points, and the other Is
her vanity. A noted Frenchwoman
says that flattery will win a woman
when all else fails.
One Of the greatest circulars | ever
knew of-great as money a maker-be-
gan, knowing you to be one Of those
intelligent women who appreciate how
essential the best flour is to the max
ing of good bread" etc. A little gentle
taffy is not the worst thing with the
women.
Then, again. the beginning of an ad-
vertisement is very important
Always show clearly In the first line
just wbat a woman is going to get
out OF the adjust where her gain is
to be, She is very busy, and If you
don't happen 70 strike her suuarely be-
tween the eyes you may lose her at
tention.
1t is great thing also to tell women
the reason for everything Because
is very big word in woman's vocab
ulary
Try to make advertisements and
booklets attractive If you wish to ap-
peal TO women and never lose sight OF
a woman's curiosity. It's better, OF
course, to use a 2 cent stamp, but a
woman doesn't treat a circular with
such contempt as you or /. and her
waste paper basket isn't always con
yeniently placed.
Have your clerks learn the name of
esch customer as nearly as possible
Never have them shout ii out. but in
quiet voice say. Good morning
Mrs. Jones" and add little pleasant
remark.
Women like attention. Husbands
may forget X sometimes. and if q po
lite remark comes a woman's way.
even if 1t comes from clerk, ii falls
on fertile ground.
Study women.
See why they buy from you and why
they fail to buy.
Experience is good teacher.

ing of the grain
The April sun had broken through
filrny mist of rain,
And little wind and sweet
Swayed the grasses at her feet
AS | turned to look and turned to
smile and turned to look again;
And said. How good a thing
Is the promise of the Spring"
At the time Of the sowing of the grain.
oh, kissed her at the time OF the
growing of the grain
Her laugh was like the melody that
threads the lark's refrain
Bud and blossom everywhere
Sent their perfume through the air
And the branches bent above her
Where the ripening fruit was lain
And | said, 10, love hath grown
Like the seed thy hand hath sown
At the time of the growing of the
grain.
Oh, | won her at the time OF the NOV.
ing of the grain
We guided DER the empty fields the
heavy-aden vain,
And my life was like to sing
With the JOY of harvesting
Oh loves sowing, nor his growing.
nor his moving was in vain,
And said. Give thanks, my heart,
For the store that is thy part"
