HOW HIS TELEPHONE PAYS.
Uptown Marketman Finds Ordering
BY Phone Profitable.

From the Washington Post.
The proprietor of an uptown market.
who in his day has dealt with many
classes of customers, says that the tele-
phone is a positive boon to his business.
I'VE can attend to ten customers over
the phone" he raid, lin the time we spend
in taking the orders of three customers
who come to the market and there is.
on the whole, more profit to us in selling
that way, because If we have not the
identical cut ordered at say 20 cents
a pound, we can send along a % cent
cut, and the customer will seldom or
never send it back; whereas. If the same
person came here to place the order she
might decide a cheaper cut.
in sending the higher priced meat our
idea is not to gouge the buyer or make
the best bargain we can for ourselves,
but to take the chances on giving salts
faction; and to send poorer cut than
the one ordered would. as a general thing,
bring wrath upon my head.
at is my experience that with few eX-
ceptions the richer the customer the more
closely she buys, and that 1t is the people
living on small incomes who are the least
systematic and most extraVagant-eXtraY-
agant proportionately, | mean.
For instance, the other day one of my
wealthiest customers refused to take
some strawberries | recommended over
the phone because the price was too
high.
In a day or two, probably they will
be cheaper said she, and that ended it.

the berries to persons living in the cheap
flats around here.

many who keep within a certain sum
every week. and with few exceptions they
are not as close buyers as the rich-they

"Ohe week the bill of certain of my fiat
customers for meats poultry, vegetables.
will be nearly double what it is the next

AT one time women who paid by the

down as 1t was made. but since the GUS

"Many women who live in tenement

NERVl HALF-BREED
Leaped 235 Feet Into River and Was
Not Injured.

Boise idaho Cor. Portland Oregonian.
1t is probable that all high-jump records
were eclpsed by Harry Wilson when he
flung himself over the wall of the cam
yon just below Shoshone Falls, on the
Snake river. and shot down into the pool,
235 feet below.
The water has a fall of 30 feet and the
canyon wall Immediately below rises some
rs feet higher. Wilson announced to some
companions he could jump into the stream
with safety, and proposed to make the
leap The others sought to dissuade him,
but he waved them back. and, standing
upon a point just below rock known
as Lovers Leap. proceeded to disrobe.
When he had stripped to his drawers he
turned to a crowd of about 100 assembled

the right of the fall that the daring jump
was made Little could be seen of the
descent of the reckless man. as the line
of vision was quickly cut off. He turned
over once before he disappeared below the
line of rock and was not seen again until
he was observed swimming in the river
by persons who had gained a position
from which they could look down into
the great caldron below the falls His
stroke was strong, and with ease he
reached the shore and clambered upon a
projecting ledge of ice which remained
rnmelted in the shadow on the south side
of the river. When assistance reached
the jumper he was found none the worse
for the dizzy leap excepting that cut
appeared on one leg from which blood
was flowing freely He walked away from
the scene, and later mounted his horse
and rode off.
Wilson said afterward he had no idea
of the height He turned several somer-
