"THE DECiDER''
a New Trap for Women Who Hest
tate About What to Guy.

An ingenious attempt is now being
made in some OF the big department
establishment to assist the opinions
of undecided women who come to shop.
Every salesman and every sales
woman knows the woman who haunts
the bargain sales, lUtters from count
er to counter, is shown goods until the
attendants are driven TO distraction,
thinks she will buy everything, and
finally invests in a yard and a half of
| pink ribbon, simple because she is
absolutely incapable of making up her
own mind as to what she wants.
Diapers haye long tolerated this
form of mental weakness. Now they
have revolted, AMI the day of the de-
cider" has come
The Decider is an American insti-
tuition. and Gibsonian at that. She is
beautiful as to face and features, and
always gowned to perfection. Her
duty is to induce the doubtful to buy,
To the customer she appears as a
customer, with the earnest intense
sale face that che now sees every
day in the big stores.
She secs a customer a little worse
dressed than herself h~esitating over
the purchase of a dress length of chif-
fon velvet. The shopman has done his
best to persuade the lady that it is the
superlatiye bargain of the season.
You ought to take it at once, mad
am" he says. eagerly; IF you leave
1t to think the matter over, you will
regret it."
81 suppose So" the lady says. "but ]
want to look about first; it is SO hard
to decide-an evening gown is so very
important" And she surveys the
dress length again from three different
angles.

Longest Climb in The World.

Imagine making the ascent of Mount
" a%shlngton by ear of a staircase.
But a feat akin to this many travellers
in China have accomplished in going
to the top of the holy mountain, some
six thousand feet above Taingan-fu.
The road leading to it is the best IN all
the kingdom. About q mile north OF
the city walls stands a large gate amid
the ruins of a once fi%ourishing suburb.
Leading from this gate he road IS
lined with temples, converts and
shrines, where pilgrims stop to pray II
they are fortunate enough to rid them
selves of the hordes of beggars.
Where the real ascent begins there
is a. stone portal which is inscribed
with the fact that here the great Con-
fucius halted $500 years ago, not hav-
ing the strength to ascend the SIX
thousand stone steps leading to the
top. These Taischan stairs are by 1ar
the highest in the world, for, aklng
the number of steps in n story or an
ordinary house to be twenty, the num-
Der of Taischan steps equals three
hundred stories. The coolies will carry
a pilgrim up the stairs and back, a as
lance of twice sixteen miles, for thirty
cents-ffteen cents for eacn coolle'
When the ascent is made n nnds
himself upon a large plateau, which is
covered with numerous temples ana
stone monuments. The main temple Is
that of the holy mother, consisting OF
several buildings surrounded by a
stone wall. The several courts are
adorned with magnificent statues ana
monuments of bronze, with a huge
statue of the holy mother on the altar
These doors are opened once only
each year, when an imperial commis
sion comes to collect the money oner'
ings of the pilgrims. By means OF q
substantial "tip" the guard may be IN.
duced to push the bar OF the main
gate aside, so that n may v
a glimpse within. The floor or TINS
large temple is usually filled with
heap of coins of every description
size, and value, probably represent

The money is divided among the con
vents and beggars of the holy noun
tain, but the largest share goes IN
to the pockets of that enterprisln'
lady, the Dowager Empress.

E%ntrapping the Victim.

Entrapping the Victim.
II is now the Decider's moment to
step in. Pretending to have noticed
the chiffon velvet, for the first time,
she thrusts out a perfectly, gloved
hand, and eagerly catches hold of an
end of the material. She hangs it UP
against her fingure, and looks at 1t
admiringly. The doubtful lady looks
annoyed. gives the chiffon u tug, but
the Decider holds on.
IF you are not going to buy this
dress length" she says, Il will take it.
1t is the only one ! suppose" she adds,
turning to the attendant, and is told
it is.
Meanwhile the genuine customer has
observed the exquisite turn out OF
the eager "~sale-haWk,' as she i'm

giant a person is anxious to buy the
stuff It must be worth securing, she
argues, so without further doubt she
says sharply;
But | am going to take it." The
transaction is closed. and the seeming
ly chagrined Decider disappears,
Having settled this little business of
the chiffon velvet she sails off to the
fur department.
Here she fixes on a sallow-faced
young wife, who has brought her hus
hand to help In the choice of a set OF
furs.

The two men took a few deep

Neither spoke, but each held out his

parted, Atsins for the sending station,
Montrus for the tower.

Fine Indian Photographs.

We recently published an illustra-
ton of Indian Twins which should
have been credited to Major Lee Moore
house of Pendelton, Oregon, who has
perhaps one of the best collection OF
Indian pictures of the north west.
Major Warehouses; famous pictures of
the Cayuse Twins has had more re-
cognition, perhaps, than any other
Indian photograph eve taken and he
has now issued an album containing
other striking pictures. 1.-THE Last
Outpost of a Dying Race is a pictur-
esque photograph of n lone Indian tepee
or wigwam with a background of dark
landscape, suggestive in the extreme
of the title of the picture. Many OF
the Moorehouse pictures attracted
much attention at the Lewis and

where above the hostile fleet, Montrus
knew, the scout hung precariously in
a position to send not only informa-
ton but a continuous reflection of the
movements Of the airships. He might
be discovered, but that was the hazard
of his occupation. IL he were well
concealed by distance, and out OF the
path of the enemies scouts, he would
win out. If otherwise, he at leas had
done his duty to the best OF his ability.
With one finger on a button which
would give the signal to Atsins, the
general waited word from the Capitol
| sixty seconds after the vote had been
taken and war declared, the world
would know it. The hostile fleet would

To the surprise of the nation, Con-
gress held back during the day, a mar
row fringe of conservative members
standing between the country and
war. The news service, which had
and detailed once more, still carried
the prediction hal war was inevitable
and could be only delayed.
Meanwhile the stolid helplessness t
the War Department, which had blan-
keted ever the energetic efforts of the
department chiefs to do the best they
could at the eleventh hour, had give
away to a feverish activity extending
even to departments unaware of tn
purpose.
Atsins had taken a fast express ship
back to SusQuehanna, returning at top
speed with the concentration, the plans
of which ne had shown Shod and Mon
trus, and which, many months before,
he had constructed.
Shod had his orders regarding
power, orders which carried a sig
nifcance to him but to none other at
the power station.
At No. 10 Sending Station, Atsins,
with an army of electricians and
mechanics under him, worked at nerve
racking speed during the day. Mon
patience. foreboding, and fear, could
not contain himself either in the office
or at the station.
The work progressed; the death
