One Problem of .'Lady He1p'' Solved in Simple Way-Conditions That Make Girl Comfortable Also

' A brand new solution of the always perp1exing servant problem is given l in a very frank letter to the Editor of Good Housekeeping Magazine, from
 which these extracts are reproduced:
 When my friends learn that I have

 years in a. good college. they sigh, in
 mingled envy and sympathy. and in varia.bIy ask: How do you manage about her eating at the table?' As this always seems the crucial point with

 When my former maid was about to

I. explained that I should expect her to do the rest of the houseWork and to assist with the children. told her frankly that while the work was not such a position might prove very dis couraging to girl of her type. She insisted that she wanted to earn money in some way and that she was so lonely in the absence of her father that the idea of home life appealed to her.

"Mr. Gilmore's impersonation of
Lord Lumley, the injunad husband,
was a mastery piece of acting, and
there were those in the audience who
declared that he has done nothing
during his entire career on the stage
which fitted him half SO well. In
fact, if anything were needed to
prove him finished actor, it found
it in his portrayal of the character
of Lord I.umley.
$50 enthusiastic was the audience,
that Mr.. Gilmore was forced to re-
peatedly bow his acknowledgements
and at the end Of the third act, in
response 10 an unanimous demand,

TRADE AT BONE.
How the Mail Order Business Works
the Earmer.

!, rhs Anderson Mail recently said
we wish everybody in Anderson could
have heard Mr.. Norman H. Johnson's
address to the Retail Merchants as
sociation last night. It was a plain,
business talk, and was instructive as
we'll as entertaining.
While speaking of the mail order
evil, and the need of educating the
people along this line, he told cap
ital story which illustrates anything
we have ever heard.
A farmer went to merchant in a
country town in North Carolina, he
said to buy an axe. The merchant
priced the axe at S1.1O.
THAT is too high, said the farm
er, Il can get it from Shears, Saw
buck and Co. for 80 cents"
"All right" said the merchant, Il
will sell you the axe as cheap as
you can get it from thnse' people.
Give me the 80 cents"
The farmer handed over the mon
ey, and then the merchant said:
Now give me cents that you would
have had to pay for a money order.
And 2 cents additional for postage
that you would have had to pay
81 hadn't thought of that" re-
piled the farmer, "but you are right.
Here's your money"
"And now," continued the mer-
chants, "give me 25 cents which you
would have had to pay as express
on the axe from Chicago"
."By gum" exclaimed the farmer,
81 see. But you are right, and l
am a man of my word. Here's your
quarter. 1 am out Is cents on your
original price, but I've learned les
son."
The merchant wrapped the axe in
a neat package, and laid it on a shelf
behind the counter. Come around
in ten days from now and get your
axe" he said. You would have
had to wait that long if you had
ordered it from Chicago"
The farmer almost tainted, but he
couldn't say a word. The merchant
had him dead to rights. But the
merchant, after teasing him for a
little while. gave him the axe, and
returned Is cents, this being the
excess of his original price on the
axe, But that farmer hasn't ordered
anything from a mail order since.
