Traltorous Feet.

A good many amusing stories are
told at the expense of servant girls
and domestics generally, but this
which comes from Chestnut Hill is mt
the expense of the mistress rather
than the maid. 1t was new servant
girl, who was, as a rule, truthful, but
who would tell harmless white fib
when her mistress required It.
One day the rector called, but for
some reason the lady did not wish to
see him. Answering the bell, the
maid very politely said her mistress
was out.
Now, In the drawing room, leading
directly from the front hall, there was
q folding screen which stood two or
three inches from the floor. Behind
this the lady secreted herself.

said the minister.

looked toward the drawing room, 1.-The

Street Car Conductors Of One Good
sized City.

Street Car Conductors Of One Good
sized City.
In this city all the street car con-
ductors are women-bright, intelligent
and courteous, and in every way eth
Gent, giving satisfaction to the COM
pany which employs them and to pa
irons.
The city has had women conductors
for several years, ever since horses
gave way to trolleys and passengers
were no longer expected to drop their
fares in a box. The conductors have
never organized a union or gone out
on q strike. They never have any
trouble with their passengers.
The force consists of seven regulars,
one extra. and one relief Their only
uniform is the shirtwaist and their
badge Of authority is q ribbon with
the word Conductor" printed on It.
Some Of them wear this pinned around
neat white caps, and others wear it on
picture hats. They enjoy day on
every week, and one Sunday on In
every seven weeks. Their working
hours are arranged on complex sched-
ule that makes their longest days
work that from $50 a. m. to 1880 p.
m, with forty-five minutes of at noon.
Their pay is 50 a week.
The conductors like the work and
are hardened to all the jests made by
the facetious. They get on famously
with the motormen, and with the male
passengers. who frequently make
themselves useful when a trolley
jumps the wire. The conductors sell
dom give up their jobs. except when
they marry, and not always them

County.
Gentlemen. and Friends

Gentlemen. and Friends
The object Of this notice is to in
form those of you, who have entrust
ed the shearing of your sheep will
us, and to those of you who may
conclude or see fit to do so, that oul
machines and the necessary appurt
enances thereto are now on the way
here, and the plant will be up and
ready for operation on or before the
the 18th day of April, 1908. And,
If it is required by any of the parties
who have booked with US, or who
may do 80, we will get the plant in
operation before this time on short
notice, and we can possibly do this
inside of twenty days from this date
Those who have booked their sheep
with us know what kind of machin-
cry and service we will have. But,
for those who have not booked, we
wish to say that we will have the best
machines on the market and we will
not employ any but the most exper-
fenced machine-shearers, and we
have, among those we have contract
ed with, the best in the United
States, and we do not believe that
our crew can be excelled by any
plant in the world.
1t is not a question Of the quality
OF the machines that the sheep owners
should consider, but also the exper
fence and competency of the shearers.
We invite any one to close inspec-
ton Of our work, We will have an
up to-date dipping vat, managed by
wv. Rhea, appointed by VIM. More
head. After consulting those who
have booked with us, we have decid
ed that the most convenient and
available place for all parties con-
cerned is to place the plant near
Sage creek about three and one. half
miles from Middle Valley station,
Washington county, Idaho.
We respectfully solicit the patron
age of all sheep owners and guarantee
the best work that can be done.
