THE BARGAIN CRAZE.
Men, 1t Is Alleged, Are az Much In
fected M the Women.

Men, 1t Is Alleged, Are as Much In
fected ns the Women.
"This perennial joke about the love
of women for bargains wearies me"
said bright business woman the other
day. "With most presumptuous supe'
riority men charge our sex with an ex-
travagant zeal for bargains, but see
enough Of business men to assure me
that they are just as eager as women
are to get an article at few cents less
than the usual price.
"Mr. A is generally eXtravagant
in his personal expenditures, but he is
keen after bargains. The other day he
came into our office wearing an air OF
great satisfaction, and his jubilation
had no other foundation than the dis
covery of a street stand where sec,
onds' in lead pencils were sold at z
cents each.
eff you know a good pencil when
you see it, he explained, yea can rum
mage in the pile and pick out and IL
cent pencils at 2 cents each or three
for 5.
"And that reminds me of another
bargain. You know the 10 cent cigars
smoke? Well. there Is a little SHOP
down near the ferry where you car
get them four for quarter. l Jus'
heard Of the place and ran down there
ut lunchtlme and filed my pockets
Great bargain
"And would you believe 1t. that man
whose transactions run into the mil
lions, went on telling my employer OF
bargains In clothes, stationery. etc.
and Mr.. b stopped in the midst OF
his estimates on a big contract to note
addresses and to tell Mr.. A of bar
gains he had discovered in neckweal
and shoes and household supplies.

RELIEF FOR TIRED FEET.

A great many women have trouble
with their feet and hail with delight any
suggestions that have possibility of re-
lief in them for tired and aching feet.
The New Idea Woman's Magazine treats
the subject again. 1t says callouses can
be kept down by careful filing or scrap.
ing. If the feet are rubbed with alcohol
and busted with talcum powder every
morning, and bathed at night with hot
water and ammonia, and then held
under running water minute, there
will be less danger Of callouses and IA
tigue. 1t is now very much fad
among society women to have the feet
massaged. 1t strengthens the muscles,
restores the flexibility and greatly
beauties the skin. Massage counter
acts all this, and leaves the foot In a
normal condition. The ankles too are
kept flexible and free from swelling by
this treatment.

THE BURGLARS BIBLE.
He Said That He Would Get 1t Bach
Again, and He Did.


Again, and He Did.
Senator John G. Spooner Of Wiscon-
sin when q young man was attorney
for two men charged with stealing.
There had been taken from the men o
well worn Bible and small drawer.
On the fly leaf Of the Bible was the In
scription, ITO My Darling Boy, From
Mother"
The trial was held the next day, and
the future senator made brilliant
speech to the jury. He exhibited the
Bible and pointed to the inscription,
and without leaving their seats the
fury returned verdict Of "Not guilty"
After the trial the young men gave
the lawyer $50.
Boys" said Mr.. Spooner as they
were about to separate, II am curious
to know why you carry that Bible and
the empty drawer" Then the senator
listened with establishment to the his
tory of his clients.
1--WE are professional safe blowers
nnd have been for five years. This b.
BILE has double cover and opens like
this" here the self confessed criminal
pressed hidden spring in the. thick
cover and disclosed hollow In which
there lay two steel files and small
saw, land this old drawer has secret
bottom, where we keep our TOOLS"
The future senator confiscated the
Bible and the drawer.
One of the thieves shouted angrily,
"We'll get those things back yet, you
mark my words!'
Several years passed, and then the
incident was brought back to Mr..
SpoOners recollection In the following
manner: One evening he and his family
attended an entertainment, and no one
was left ut the house. When they re-
turned at late hour, they found that
the house had been entered by bur,
glars and ransacked, but that nothing
apparently was missing. The next
days mail brought letter which read:
Dear sir-Please excuse the way We came In
last night, but the door was locked. We never
did think you treated US square by swiping oul
outfit, and so We came back after 1t and found
you were not at home. We always keep our
word. Yours truly, JACK AND jim.

Wf0a For Hire.

"Men do not hire street wigs" said @
New York wigmaker. 1.-THE man who
wears a wig constantly owns 1t. But
there are nevertheless many wigs hired
out. Actors, for example, hire wigs,
and wigs are rented for \masqueraders
and costume parties, and sometimes
wigs are rented for surprises. So that
after all wigs are included in the great
list Of things that can be hired, which
list would be found, I fancy, to include
pretty much everything that could be
named"
