SHOPPING IN FEz.
Pay Half the Price Demanded, Grab
Your Goods and Go.

= white visitor to Fee, in Morocco,
once went shopping in the bazaars Of
the city accompanied by servant Of
the sultan, who told him to see to it
that the shopper was not cheated by
the greedy merchants. At the first
shop visited the would. be customer
asked to be shown something that
rested on high shelf. The lazy mer-
chant only yawned and said he would
rather sell something from the floor,
which he would not have to rise to get.
This angered the sultan's servant. who
not only made the merchant hand
down the article required, but when
the price was named laid down half
the amount grabbed the goods and
made off.
Tie shopper protested, but the serv-
ant laughed and said it was the custom
of the country. This was repeated at
several shops without eliciting a pro-
test. At one place, though, the mer-
chant refused to give up his goods in
that way and was rewarded by boxed
ear and an admonition not to i'll treat
the sultan's white friend.
Later the two visited the markets,
where everything was sold at auction.
The auctioneer seemed always to wear
fewer clothes than any one else. His
method of selling was curious. He
would take a piece of goods from a
nearby shopkeeper and start out to
sell it on commission. Holding it as
high as possible, he would call for a
bid. Then he would start on the run
around the market. If any one wished
to examine the merchandise the auc-
tioneer would drop it into his hands
take the bid if one was made and then
resume his run around the place.
| When he had made three circuits OF
the market he would turn the article
over to the highest bidder.-New York
Press.
