Hard on Art.

The storekeeper in certain small!
country town was noted for his
shrewdness and for his contempt Of ev-
erything that was not strictly utilita-
rian. One Of his pet aversions was
young fellow in the town who posed as
an artist and once had taken some les
sons in painting at the nearest large
city. Finally, however, the old man
was persuaded to put an cart depart
ment'' in his store, not that he belicv-
ed any more in art, but because he de-
cided that if there were fools who
wanted to spend their money OH pic
lures and chromos, he might as well
get it as any one else. The young paint
er heard Of it and took down his latest
production, hoping to find in Uncle Jo-
mas ready market for home talent.
"How much will you give me for it.
Uncle Jonas?" he asked
The old man squinted at it for a mill
ute or two. "About $1.75, reckon" be
said.
'But, Uncle Jonas" the artist pro-
tested, ''the canvas cost more than
that"

son, that it was clean them

Male Shoppers Preferred.

"Saleswomen would rather wait upon
ten men customers than one woman"
said a floor manager Of experience.
'"There is no question but men make
the best and most, agreeable shoppers.
They know what they want are easily
suited and are not fussy. They have a
genial way that makes them easier to
satisfy than women are. Their man.
ners are not so stiff.
"No man ever brushes a salesgirl with
q naughty stare. Men seldom haggle
over prices. They may easily be per-
suaded to buy higher priced article
If they have the money and you can
convince them they are getting their
moneys worth. Men show good taste
and judgment in buying articles they
know little about. Their fondness for
large sizes borders on the ridiculous
sometimes. Shoes, gloves, shirts-they
want them all with ample room.
1T is pity most men seem to feel
uncomfortable and out Of place in a
store. Persons who sell goods would
like to see them oftener."- York
