NEVER FAILED.

An Order Filled-Department Store
Managers Story
The manager of one of the big shops
was gazing proudly at thee rowds that
filled the large building when the in
genous woman from the country OBJ
served: You fill orders for anything in
the world, don't your"
The manager was equal to the occa-
sion. I'VE take orders for anything, {"
he said, with a courtly frock-coated
bow. Even for a husband or an eIe-
plant or any other article that might
not seem a desirable possession to the
average customer"
The little lady from ''up state
laughed and blushed prettily. ''It's a
wonderful business" she murmured.
She seemed as appreciative as she was
sweet-voiced, and the manager, who
was waiting by appointment for a GER
tain irate customer, seized the five
minutes of peace left to him before the
storm would burst about his head, and
said: There is a legend to the effect
that the department store has never
failed to do. anything that it really
tried to do"
Has it ever tried to. make the clerks
polite?" nurmured the little woman
sweetly.
"An artful, sly, mink" said the man
ager to himself. Aloud he continued:
Yes, several of the shops have tried
and succeeded. Haven't you ever been
in them?"
II can think of two" admitted the
little woman. And the out-of-to
woman knows the shops better than
the New Yorker, you know. She isn't
so partial or so prejudiced."
The manager looked at his watch.
The irate customer always had a griev-
ance and she was always on time-a
popularity Of disagreeable women that
never distinguishes their pleasant sis
ters. He decided to tell his story, make
a hit and retire gracefully to meet the
storm.
Once" he began, "a certain eccen-
trio woman made wager with the
head of Ribbings & Frills that he could
not execute any orders that she would
| give him. The head of the firm bet that
he could and would. The next day a
little crested note came from the lady
in question. Dear Mr.. B. it read
please send me at your earliest con-
venience one pint of live f1eas'"
Dear mel" said the little woman
from up state, "she should have sent
to grocery"
do they sell live fleas in country
groceries? The advantages Of country
life! Poor Mr.. B. had to send to the
circus, which was then in town, and tc
the menagerie in the park, but after 6
days work only a half pint of fieas
had been secured. In the meantime the
| order had been filed and the lady ad.
vised that we did not keep live f1eas III

FRENCH LAY NURSES AND NUNS.
The Minister of Instruction has just
sent out a circular to all departmental
projects inviting every one to bring
about as rapidly as possible a school
of nursing in his district, in accord
.ance with the terms of the law of July
49, 1898. At first sight it appears re-
markable that a decree of Parliament
should have remained a dead letter for
nearly ten years. The reason is that
except in Paris and other large towns
there seems to be no very special need
for such schools and that the deputies
who voted for the foundation of such
schools forgot at the same time to vote
the necessary grants in aid for their
upkeep. Nursing schools are uoing ad-
mirable work at Paris, and at Lyons
where there are large hospitals and
many patients-in a word, they have
grown where they were required in &C
cordance with the physiological law
that where a function is necessary
there also is an organ to carry 1t out.
In the smaller towns, however, where
the hospitals are quite unpretending
establishments, mostly founded by~re-
ligious houses and worked by nuns,
such schools would be useless.
Throughout nearly the whole of
France, the care of the sick is in the
hands of the Church-that is to say,
they are looked after by nuns-and the
lay nurse is almost unknown, for very
few among them have the opportunity
of making a living except in the capt.
tai This accounts for the sgreat diff
| ference which is to be observed be-
tween the French inf1rmiere and the
English nurse, for the former is drawn
from much lower social stratum and
is little more than servant with GER
tain amount of professional training.
Even if schools were started in every
department to turn out numbers of
nurses of this type there would be but
little result, for there would not be
enough work for them all.
The real reason of the sudden anxiety
of the minister regarding this slumber-
ing law is, as always, a political one.

secured from farms and towns along
the Arkansas river.
There is nothing to indicate that the
men in this little settlement work for
living, and yet they always seem
plentifully supplied with money. They
are only a short distance away from
the old Santa Fe trail, which is the
route followed by the post-hauIers, who
travel from the cedars to Lamar, and
the gang frequently sells the haulers
meat at ridiculousiy low figures. There
is an understanding that it is deer
meat, but in nearly every case cattle
belonging to some Of the big river out
fits have been butchered. In one of
the cabins visited by the officers they
found eight fresh steer hides, which the
gang did not have time to dispose of,
They succeeded, however, in securely
hiding nearly everything else that
would be incrimina ting.
The little settlement of outlaws had
been growing gradually. and it was
probably the intention to make it ulti-
mately as noted a rendezvous of
thieves as the famous Hole in the
Wall country of the North. The gang
never bothered the stock or belongings
of the small ranchmen and farmers in
their vicinity, and in this way they
avoided the ill-will and suspicion of
their neighbors. Their operations were
confined to the river towns and the
farms close to them, and consisted
mainly of cattle and horse stealing,
with a few petty bdrglaries, including
the Holly Bank robbery and the Carl
ton postoffice hold-up. Postolfice In
spector Smithers believes. however,
that the recent train robberies near
Trinidad were planned by this gang,
and that they were getting in shape to
do some wholesaIe0A usiness when the

Smiths cabin was blown to pieces with
dynamite as soon as the women were
removed, and the same fate was melted
out to the cabin occupied by the
Wylies. The posse int ends to destroy
every hiding place of the gang and
drive all of them out of the country.

to her as soon as they arrived from our

fused to give up any more of the in

aged, when a happy thought saved the
day and his reputation. Live f1eas had
been ordered, and if the jar were filled
to the top half would certainly be dead
by the time they arrived, for even a
flea requires breathing space. So the
jar was dispatched, with a note ex-
planning the circumstances, and the or

the murmuring voice from Cohoes.
"She ordered four gowns which had
been reduced and paid top prices for

him. He bowed, smiled and sauntered
to his fate.-From the New York Com
