CARPET SWEEPER TO Eclsy.
Dealer Left with Memory Ct Good
Joke to Compensate Him for
Loss Of Sale.

A hardware dealer in town tells q
story about prim old lady who came
into his store the other day to pur-
chase carpet sweeper. She gazed
here and there about the store as she
entered, and finally going up to the
dealer she looked at him quizzically
over her glasses and asked: DO you
keep carpet sweepers?"
Yes. madam" replied the dealer
and naming the two kinds which he
had in stock. asked which she de-
sired.
WELL" said the lady, ''you may
show ME both kinds. II you will"
lust a moment madam. until I get
them from the rear Of the store" And
with that he went to an obscure cor
ner and took down the carpet-sweepers
from their hooks upon the wall
1t happened that in front of one Of
the makes which he desired there was
lawn mower so hung that he had to
move it. He took it down from the
hook and as he did so 1t rolled along
the floor with grinding rattle.
Before he had time to turn around
he heard the old lady shout from tho
front OF the store: THAT makes more
noise than my old one and | don't
care to look at It," and so saying, she
whisked out to the door, leaving the
dealer to wonder whether the joke was
worth the loss of the sale-Portland

Sir Charles Wyndham (speaking at

heard of who was paying attention to
a lady to the great disgust OF he-
father. who demonstrated very kindly
with him. The father said: "If | see
you in this house again I shall kick
you cut" The young man came back
the very next day. "I told you what
would happen" said the father, and Il;
did happen. The young man did no,
appear for about five weeks, and then
one day the father saw him coming
toward the house. and Immediately
went and opened the front door
Haven't you had enough?" said the

The "Best People On Earth" are
to hold state concIave at Pueblo
October 18th, 18th and 14:h. With
over one thousand of the antIered

for entertainment. About ten thous-

by the Pueblo lodge for this gather
ing. No one at all familiar with the
work Of this order will beorudge
them all the good cheer and happi-
ness that can be possibly extracted
from the stern struggle Of life. II is
we'll known fact that the EIks re-.
present phase Of fraternal life en-.
tirely unknown previous to the ex-
istence Of the order. Other frater-

throphies reach every class and con.

local charity organization announced
with great acclaim that it's bene-
factions per annum reached the enor.

tisation revealed the fact that In the
same city, during a like period, the
3. p. o. e. had expended over four
thousand dollars for the relief Of tho
needy, poor and forsaken and not one
Of the p1rtakers Of its bounty had
any connection whatever with tho
order. SO secretiveIy and systemati.
eaIIy had this noble work been ac.
compIished that few knew Of It and
not one Of those benefited was sub.
jected to the slightest humiliation by
he acceptance Of the gifts SO free
Iy bestowed. Therefore W. sincerely
hope that all the members Of this
big Drained and big hearted asgro.

That many lives have been sacri-
fieed and countless dollars spent in
an endeavor to still keep in force
industrial conditions that make sIav-
cry a paradise in comparison is not
surprising in this day Of the absolute
monarchy Of avarice and greed. The
only surprise is that after admission
has been made, by no concession to
all demands Of the laborers that the
position Of the employers was not
only unjust but intoIerabIe, that there
should remain any sympathy with
those policies which enable the mod
ern monstrosities Of the illegally per-
verted dollar to erect their thrones
upon the broken and crushed lives
Of their workman. True the strikers
at Mekees Rocks have won their
strike-but at what a cost. For many
years to come they can only contem-
plate their victory as they see it
through their tears. II we had few
less laws to protect the rich and a
few more to protect those whose only
capital is the stroke Of the hammer
into which they put their very hearts
blood, these struggles for relief from
oppressive and intoIerabIe conditions
would not be necessary.

The VILLAGE Crouch.


This morning we had talk with
a confirmed crouch. Ordinarily we
have little time to waste with such
people. But this mans case Is an
exceptional one. Time was when he
was rated as one of the most pro-
gressive individuals in this section.
He loved and was loved in turn by
everyone. Business men burdened
with commercial cares or discouraged
by failure found in him a veritable
treasury of resourcefulress. Little
children looked upon him as a safe
exemp,ar ard most loyal friend.
In those days his face was sunshine
personified and hundreds upon whom
misfortune's hand had been heavily
laid were glad to bask in the light
of his ever cheerful countenance. But
now all is changed. A change in fl
fancied wrong has completely alter
ed the course of his life. His face
has lost its rotundity and light. The
sky of his life is black above his
head. Life's blossoms hang withered.
His whole existence has become one
black blctch. Hope, ambition and
happiness are laid away in a tomb
of despondency and doubt from which
there seems to be no resurrection.
Suddenly the conclusion seems to
have been forced upon him that the
community is headed straight for
the internal regions. Politicians and
politics are rotten. grafters and hypo-
critics crowd every avenue of endea-
vor. The churches are dead, the pas
tors have supplanted the "old-time
religion" and are now given over 10
rank heresies and modern materials
tic speculation. Old time standards
of honesty and integrity are forgot
ten. AS a result the way-worn and
worsted in the stern struggle fer eX-
istence fird in him only source Of
discouragement and doubt. Old time
business friends sadly shake their
heads and wonder what has come
over their old companion. AS an as
set to the better endeavor and things
of life he has dwindled from for
tune to almost a cipher. Children
forget to smile in his presence. The
lines of care daily deepen on his once
handsome face and life become
fraught with greater bitterness ard
regret as the days come and go. Like
Byron in the very heyday Of his pow
erS he cries:
my life is as the yellow leaf
The flowers and fruits of love are
gone,
The worm, the canker and the grief
Are mine alone"
Somehow in the light of his past
history we cannot think it possible
that he should remain in this con-
dition. There are yet flowers of
charity, love and kindness blossom
ing along life's highway even though
thorns are plentiful. There are still
VI iSh' JS"eiS Va S-s'i aStSA SiS1LaAAS
everywhere. The church spire still
points heavenward and there are
still some strains of music in the
human heart that chord with angels
choi". If this man will but throw the
strength of his vigorous manhood in
to the fight for bettering the con-
dition of humankind, he will soon find
the flowers of love blossomirg every
where.
