Rules to be Observed Atout Store.

ANS3~S w " <bSSI WV dAAOut d CtOICs
LIST, Upon en'ering a store if you are
asked edo you want to get something, be
sure that you say mot right now" and inst
take seat on goods box until the clerk
gets busy waiting on some other customer
and then tell him what you want as it helps
the ordinary clerk and stimulates business
for two or three persons to talk to him al
the same time.
End, If you want groceries delivered the
same day vow order them, you should in
variably wait until the afternoon to m AXE
the order as the delivery wagon passes your
house in the morning. The chances are
you will not get them that day but it will
afford you the pleasure OF calling up your
groceryman by phone after supper and
raising fuss about it.
3rd, 1t is very becoming for any person
OF reasonable intelligence to go behind the
counter and entertain themselves by taxi
ing down every peice OF goods in reach
and unfolding il and then pile the bulk
back in the shelf. 1t also gives the clerk
exercise after he has been on his feet for
fourteen hours, to go around and straighten
up the stock.
4th, If there is delicate fabric shown
you be sure TO handle it continually for
several minutes before telling the clerk
that you don't want it, as it adds TO the ap-
learance and enhances the value of such
goods TO be treated that way.
9th, You should make il rule to visi,
all of the stores about once 10 each month,
especially on public days, without any in
tention whatever of buying anything but
simply to look over the goods; i, being
public day there will be several in the
store wanting to do some trading but they
will not care for waiting an hour or two
Tor you 10 make close inspection, in view
of the fact that you did not want 10 bny
today.
9th, 1t you are good customer, having
done great deal of trading with some
merchant and he then gives you the inside
price on some article, it is very good pol
icy TO herald that all over the country.
leaving the impression that "Mr. - be-
slows special favors" That will give him
bSost and when he hears Of what you have
said he wont mind giving you most any,
thing you want.
9TH, Buy the cheapest article in every
thing that you can find, at the same time
expecting it to be as good as the best but
when you find that il is not blame the
merchant with it and go elsewhere to buy
the next,
Sth, Never order anything until Won are
out. E. PLURIBus UstM.

In view of the past experiences the

with suspicion and certain degree
of alarm. They called at the convent
about 1890 o'clock in the morning

later hung about the place.
The inmates became disturbed by
their actions and telephoned to po-
lice headquarters and they were ar

negroes gave their names as William
Sims and George Thomas. of Fair

When they first called at the con-
