The first customer Miss Peterson
waited on was captious old lady with
duplex eyeglasses, who seemed fixed in
the opinion that the bashful, gentle,
little saleswoman meant to swindle her.
She looked at a dozen patterns Of ging-
hams before she found one that seemed
to suit her. At this she stared Then
she carried it out to the door and fin
ally. glaring at the embarrassed girl,
snapped:
DO you mean to tell me, young wom-
an, that this Is fast color?"
Miss Peterson was frightened. There
was a menacing challenge In the stout
customers raucous voice.
Please, ma'am, I'll go and ask the
manager" said the demure girl.
"Humph! There's some doubt about 1t,
then, is there?" sneered the fat wom-
an; then Wen let it go. I thought it
looked cheap
And the indignant customer founced
out of the store, leaving little Miss Pet
erson with tears in her eyes and a
trembling sense Of her own inefficiency.

a WoNDER-WoRklNG ICON"
II Performs Miracles of HEALING In 3
Curious wav = - -

London Telegraph: Great excitement
reigns throughout the Greek commune
ity III Constantinople owing to the
miracles performed by an icon Of the
Virgin Mary, which, for hundreds of
years, has been preserved in the church
at Att Mermer, in STEAMBOAT. This
icons method of performing wonders
is not original, as another one exists
in the island Of Peramos, which has
the same habit, consisting of suddenly
falling on the believer and striking
him violently till blood flows. Then the
sufferer is cured. @
The icon at Alti Mermer has hither-
Ito been quite quiet, and Is simply an
ancient picture Of the Virgin painted
on wool. About a fortnight ago a girl
suffering from epilepsy had a revela-
ton that she was to go to this church
and have a special service performed,
and she would be cured. Accordingly
she went, and during the service, the
priest gave her the icon to kiss. The
moment she touched 1t, it knocked her
down and kept on striking her. After
a second service. and a good belaboring
by the image the girl was cured COM
pletely, and the reputation of the icon
ablished. Every day new cures are
heard OF, and thousands Of cripples and
invalids flock to the church.
The Greek patriarch is seriously
troubled, as the orthodox church does
not admit that icons possess the power.
