Grand Forks, n. D., Dec. 24.--The
Great Northern is economizing on d
scale never before attempted. The
position of night chief dispatcher has
been abolished at all division head
quarters, many stations have been
closed to save the expense of hiring
agents and operators, and it is rer
ported that some division point
changes may be made to further reduce
the operating expenses of the road.
In the case of agents who cannot
telegraph the officials are giving them
jobs where It is unnecessary to tele
graph and are putting new men in
their places who can telegraph. as@.
The latest rumor is that the North
ern division with headquarters al
Crookston, is likely to be abolished
and the trains handled from the Da
kota and Willrnar divisions. While /,
is believed that such a move has been
under consideration. there has beer
no action taken so far that would inti-
cate. that the company intends t.
make the change. ..H sss..r ii.

A Shoe CLERKS TRIALS
Him to Tell Story of His
Troubles.

There are trying experiences in ev-
cry line o: business which is easily
observed by Watching buyers in diff
ferent stores and 1t s to be noeted
that the shoe salesman has his quota,
for the reason that the average person
is go undecided as to what he or
she wants for foot covering. Fargo
salesman was asked about this a few
days ago during the time a reporter
was buying & '.cw pair Of shoes. TIE
salesman appreciated the fact that the
buyer knew exactly what to ask for,
style, length and width There would
be some pleasure in being a shoe sales
man If every customer had his mind
made up as to what he wanted" said
the salesman in an exclusive shoe store
on Broadway. This is my fourth sale
today. It took me all morning to make
the three other sales.
when my first customer appeared
/ new in a moment that was in for
a siege, for 1t took me five minutes
to get the man In a mood to tell me
whether he wanted shoes for himself,
wife or children, or shoe polish-oh, he
was tantalizing. l knew he was the
kind of a person who required a per-
fectly straight last and didn't mind ad-
mittfng the fact, but at the same time
wanted the straight toe for comfort
and the narrow curving toe for ap-
pearance. / showed him all the COM
mon sense styles in dull leather and
after nearly an hour he said he guess
ed after all he would try a patent
leather. | came nc. losing my patti
ence then. but my blood was aroused
and l made up my mind that I would
send that man out with a. pair of
shoes under his arm. if / Mad to show
him every pair in the store. Finally
he found one that suited him, and
after paying for it he stopped to tell
me how pleased he was with the shoes
and how, grateful for my patience.
Il had just stepped to the door for a
little air after the exhausting expert
ence when young man entered the
store wearing a new suit OF clothes
in which it was obvioIs he was tax
ing good deal of pride. He dropped
into a settee opposite a big mirror.

the shoes l was exhibiting than in his
SNiA tNllCSliOAl III lllG HliEIOT. he IdO
his mind set on a certain shoe but
/ couldn't supply it at the price, and
after l brought nearly everything else
in the store he paid me so cents more
and took what he wanted.
The shoe salesman doesn't generally
have more. than two such experiences
in succession, but when a man and
woman came in together and it was
my turn to wait on them was willing
TO bank on the good rule of three.
The couple took seats and the woman
then told men that it was her hus-
band who wanted the shoes and she
had come to help him pick them out.
Then knew I was in for it. The
man kept insisting that he knew what
he wanted, while the woman told him
repeatedly that she knew what was
best for him. I brought out eight to-
tally different styles before the mans
feet and the woman's eyes were both
satisfied and the sale made"

sioNERs TURN DOWN BILL
FOR s122s FOR MATCHES.

Grand Forks, N. D.. Dec. 24-The
county commissioners apparently
would put ban on the use of matches
by the prisoners In the county Jail,
according to the sentiment at the ses-
sion this morning, when a bill for
matches amounting to $12.25 was pres
ented to them. The commissioners
allowed the various items. but decided
that the county should not bear the
expense OF furnishing the law break
ers with sulphur sticks and the sheriff
VIII be compelled to stand that item
OF the expense.
The prisoners who can afford the
luxury of tobacco, can also furnish
their own matches, was the decision
OF the board and the sheriff is left
to collect the amount OF the BILL as
best ne can. It was also the senti-
ment Of the beard that the use OF
matches in the county jail should be
abolished entirely and while 1T Is Q
universal custom over the country. tc
allow prisoners this luxury still It Il
thought that there is danger from
such practice.

HAS DIAMOND STUDDED PIPE.
A New York "Newsie" Is Thus Dis

A New York "Newsie" Is Thus Dis
tinguiShed.
Frank Ward, the one-legged news
man who has sold papers at Forty
second street and Depew place for
twenty-odd years, is one of the few
residents of New York who can
smoke diamond-studded, gold
mounted pipe, says the New York
World.
Frank got the pipe last week. 1t
was presented to him in Brandes
Brothers saloon, and it will probably
be long time before he gets over the
pleasant shock. Franks patrons.
who are also his friends, decided to
make him a gift, something that
would be unlike anything he ever
dreamed of possessing.
Twelve of them clipped in IS
each. With the $50 the purchasing
committee invaded Tiffanys and
asked to see the most gorgeous pipe
in the shop. The gold-mounted, dia-
mond-studded affair was brought out
and promptly purchased. The dia-
monds are not Kohinoors, but as
| large as those in cuff buttons, and
+ they sparkle, too.
