THE CLERK HAD LEARNED.

The following incident happened
in store not a thousand miles
from Palataca, where q number of
new clerks had been employed
during a recent rush.
An old lady asked to be shown
some silk. The young clerk
showed her some, saying, eve can
do this up for you at $1.60 per
yard " The lady asked for some
thing better. but the clerk replied
that they had nothing better,
whereupon the proprietor came
forward and said:
"You must excuse my assistant,
madam; he is new to the business.
Here, madam, is superior article
$3.50 a yard. If it we're not for
fact that lave bought it some
time ago, we should have to
chargesyou 1915, for as you are
doubtless aware owing to the re-
cent epidemic among the silk
worms, the price of silky has in
creased enormously of late" The
customer took the silk. A few
days later the same old lady came
in and asked for some tape. The
CLERK said glibly:
Here is some that we can let
you have at 16c the dozen yards.
If it wasn't for the fact that we
have had it some time we should
have to charge 25c for it, as you
are doubtless aware, owing to the
recent epidemic among tapeworms
the price OF tape has gone up enor-
mously."
1t was then she hit him with
her umbrella.

Model husbands as a rule are
not the outcome of circumstances
but they are natural products. A
kind loving son will become after
marriage a model husband. A
selfish arrogant soa will grow into
a tyrannical un reasonable hus-
band because he loves himself
better than any one else and his
wife will always occupy d second
place in his affections; when their
opinions clash, and the happiness
of either party is in the balance it
will be surrounded or there will
be friction in the household.
