THE ART OF A SALESLADY.
An Illustrative Instance of the Me-
cessity of Tact in Her
Position.

Occasionally a girl forgets herself
and takes it out on the customer, and
then she is apt to lose her place. For
instance, a friend of mine, tired from
standing all day, exasperated by the re.
peated questions of some woman who
kept asking whether the goods were
really all wool, finally snapped out:
"All except the buttons" and promptly
lost her job, says the "Autobiography
of a Shop Girl" in Leslie's Monthly.
Another friend of mine came very near
losing her place for the same reason,
but escaped through her cleverness. A
dumpy woman, with no figure and a
painted face, a would-be coquette, in
sisted after a long investigation, on
purchasing a certain garment. Tired
as the girl was, she advised another
garment, for she knew the one selected
would not fit the woman's ugly figure
This is better for your figure" she
said, really with a malicious intention,
Figure" shouted the customer. "Let
me tell you, you hussy, that my figure
is better than yours" The buyer was
standing by, and the saleslady, as
quick as a flash, replied: Exactly,
madam, that is why I recommend this
piece" The buyer, who had heard hel
reply, complimented her warmly on her
tact, after the sale was transacted.

GAS EXPLODES IN A MINE.
One Hundred Men EntOmbed n
Were Barely Rescued FrOm
Certain Death.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April Am ex-
plosion of gas occurred Friday after
moor in No. 5 mine of the Lehigh &
Wilkesbarre Coal Co. in the southern
part of this city. A force Of voluD-
teers was quickly organized and went
to the assistance of the miners sup
posed to be imperilled below. When
they reached the foot of the shaft
they made their way to that portion
where the men were supposed to he.
They were met by some of the mine
bosses, and informed that there had
been an explosion in No. 3 slope in
the third east gangway of the mine.
There were 100 men working i'll that
portion of the mine, and for a time it
was feared they were lost. The res
cuing parties, however, found them
all within half an hour, and none was
burned or in any way injured. They
had been working their way to the
foot of the shaft from every portion
of the mine.
The explosion was caused by IA mi
ner with a naked lamp running into
a body of gas. Several doors were
blown down and considerable brattice
work was wrecked. Succeeding the
explosion there was a slight fire in
one of the working chambers, but
this was speedily extinguished. Apart
from the wrecked doors and airways
no other damage was done to the

TRIED TO STEAL THE SAFE.
Thieves Loot u House on n PrOmi-

Neighbors Calmly Look On.

St. Louis, April 4.-Three men drove
up to the home of John Babor, at No.
1907 Page avenue, Friday afternoon
about four o'clock, and while neigh
bors watched their operations, ran
sacked the house, securing SIS in cash,
a gold chain, a diamond and an en-
eral stud, valued at about fifty dol
lars, and 25 cigars.
With the neighbors still watching
them the men carried a safe, weigh
ing about five hundred pounds, out
of the building and they would have
made way with it had not the horse,
which they were driving, become
frightened at a white quilt, which
covered the safe. 1t contained $500 in
cash and $500 worth of jewelry, as
well as many valuable papers. 1t was
hurled to the pavement, and wrecked,
but the robbers did not stop to exam
inc it's contents, and escaped.

HIS SHOT.
Entitled Him to the Championship

said the mar from one of the nearby
parishes, relates the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, Gin me you be-
hold the man who holds the
blackbird championship of the
world, and while the fact is not gener-
ally known, there are a few men in my
parish who can testify to the truthful
ness of my story. This expert shoot
ing you see IN the stage, the mirror
trick, shooting backward, breaking
clay pigeons ana balls; circus shooting,
wild west shooting and all that kind of
thing, is childishness' in comparison
with my record. One evening several
years ago / slipped over the levee up in
my parish to shoot at a drove of black
birds which l found feeding in the rice
field. The birds were scattered over
an acre of ground. Just as al expert
ment / gave the gun a swing as | fred
both barrels, covering in the range of
of the swing the whole area covered by
the birds. l was in close shooting
range. TO my surprise only a few
birds attempted to fly away, and these
few fell a short distance from where
they started. Others hoped around
in a stunned sort of fashion. / never
saw as many dead blackbirds in my
life. thought l was dreaming at first.
Several friends came along and l in
vited them to help themselves. / do
not know how many sacks filled with
birds, and | would actually be ashamed
to guess at the number ! killed. The
gun was heavily loaded, and the birds
were grouped in a basin which was al
most the shape of a bowl, because of a
sharp bend in the levee line. Many of
the birds were not wounded, or bruised
in any way. so ! figured thatthe fear
full slaughter was mainly due to con-
cussion." "Lemme smoke that pipe
awhile" said the nan on the other side
of the table, and the members began
to talk of other things.

PROVING HIS COURAGE.
George just Ached to Get at Those
Burglars, But Let His Wife
Restrain Him.

She thought she heard somebody
moving about downstairs, and so she
walked him up.
what is it?" he asked, relates FL
lott Flower, in Brooklyn Eagle.
Burglars, | think" she answered.
Now, he hadn't lost any burglars,
and he don't care to find any. Still, a
man must prove his courage in such
circumstances if he is to maintain his
prestige in the family.
"l1l make sure" he said, as he
climbed out of bed.
In pajamas and slippers he sneaked
out into the hall and listened at the
top of the stairs. Yes; there surely
was some one down there. He put his
ear to the speaking tube that com
municated with the kitchen and he
could hear them talking. Evidently
they had just got through a kitchen
window and were about to proceed to
the dining-room for the silver.
II can surprise them" he thought,
but, if | do, what will happen to me?
Housebreakers, when cornered, are al
ways desperate, but-they avoid trou-
BILE when they can"
Happy thought! There was a whis-
tie at the other end of the speaking
tube. He put his mouth to the tube
and blew. Then he rushed back to his
room.

my revolver!"
But, George" his wife urged,"there

There are SEVERAL" he returned,
valiantly, "but I'll get them"
And | heard one of them whistle"
she persisted.
so much the more reason for hur.
ry," he asserted. Hes signaling to
the other members of the gang that
the coast is clear. If I'm quick | can
get them all"
She pleaded with him not to go, but
he was determined. No burglar who
ever lived could deter him-not after
he had frightened the life out of the
aforesaid burglar by whistling down a
tube. However, he did let his wife
detain him until he was reasonably
sure that the coast was clear.
Then he went down, while she wait
ed anXiously at the head of the stairs.
They've gone" he announced, dis
gustedly, land it's all your fault. If
you hadn't hung onto me I'd have got
them sure. Why in thunder can't you
have a little sense and a little nerve?"
But, in the language of the day, he
made good" His wife now considers
him about the bravest man that ever
lived.
