THE WOMAN WHO SHOPS AND SHOPS AND NEVER
BUYS, MAKES DEPARTMENT STORE GIRL MISERABLE
Eleanor Adams Learning
Many Of the Troubles Of
the Shop Girls Life in
Spokane.
BY ELEANOR adams,

In one o the big downtown de.

mass through the doors just sec
ond or two before the closing hour
rs 1t always like this?" l asked
the girl at the umbrella counter.
Usually worse" she said. Some
women just seem to wait until the
curtains are pulled down and then
take that as a signal to begin their
afternoons shopping.
1--WE can't make a move to 60 or
disturb the trimmings of our coun.
ters until the bell rings, when every
shopper has left the store. Some
times it's. 6 o'clock or Gas before
We can leave"
This made me wonder what the
life behind the counter really was,
so the next day l asked the glove
counter girl to tell me her troubles.
AT GLOVE COUNTER.
"We don't have as many as some
of the other girls" she laughed.
Most of the women know pretty
we'll what they want. The worst
difficulty is that so many think they
wear a smaller size than they do.
One came in the other day and said
she wore 81.
Il knew she couldn't wear that
size, and put on pair of 6%. They
fitted splendidly, she said. ! didn't
say a word"
next inquired Of the pretty girl
with the bobbing curls at the veil
counter. Whatever her annoyances,
they didn't seem to have affected
her good nature.
Our homeliest customers" she
said, expect veil to transform
them into raving beauties. Lots of
times some old witch will come in
and try on every veil in our entire
stock-big dots and little dots, flow
cred lace wells and plain ones, and
then decide that none of 'em are
becoming"
At the hosiery counter l made my

form to the usage of today. Where a
word is used in sense now generally
obsolete, it, is to be replaced by another
word of pnequivocal meaning.
Opinions Will differ in regard to the
desirability of any such revision, how
ever conservative it may be. There are
those who will feel that the revisers are
of English literature. The answer TO
this is that the older version will re
main in the hands of those who prefer
it; that the Bible is more than a liter
allure, being the repository of revealed
religion, and that its primary purpose
is best served by employing language
thoroughly understanded of the peo-
ple,' to employ an archaic locution
which would illustrate the sort of word
ana phrase to be revised.
1t must not be forgotten that the
Authorized Version has undergone CON
siderable verbal revision since it was
first issued. The extent of this verbal
revision is known to scholars who have
made comparisons. The Roman Cath

which are circulated and read to an ex-
tent that would astOnish the uniform
ed, are examples of the verbal revision
of translation. just as the Rheims Tes
lament, of 1882, had considerable in
fuence on the King James Version of
the New Testament, which appeared
nearly thirty years later, so the original
Douay translation has given way to n
revision for Catholic reading conform
ing in a great measure to the Author
lied Version, though differing from both
it and the Douay version in numerous
passages.
This radical REVISION was made under
the direction of Bishop Challoner, in
the middle of the eighteenth century
According to Cardinals Newman and
Wiseman. it almost amounted to a new
translation. In America, about the
middle of the nineteenth century. an
independent revision of the pouay YER
sion. by Archbishop Kenrick. was pub
ished. and is much in use. The great
objection Of the English Catholic bish-
ops to the Douay version was that. be

AS you run over the catalogue of

should be enlarged merely by reason
of it being genius.
Rather than free all the poets now IN

Thirty eminent scholars have re-
Gently held a series of conferences at
Princeton University over the text OF
a revised edition of the English Bible.
They represent the leading divinity
schools and universities Of the United
States and Canada. Their task does
not look toward a new translation, but
rather to a revision of the Authorized
Version. For three hundred years the
so-called King James edition has held
its primacy. In turn it was based upon
the Cloverdale and earlier TRANSACTIONS.
SO far as possible it retained Glover
dale s phraseology; but the translators
collectively brought literary genius of
the highest order to bear upon their
task Of giving English expression to
the Hebrew Scriptures and the Greek
New Testament.
If one will but ask a friend who
reads Hebrew auently to repeat
Psalm or a passage from one of the
prophets in the ancient original tongue
and compare the rhythm and sound
with those of the Authorized Version
he will be amazed by the singular
correspondence of the two. Such fdel-
ity in the rendering of the sense and
rhythm and the solemn music of the
Hebrew has proved impossible in any
language other than English. No doubt
this quality has contributed to the I'M
paralleled influence of the English
Bible on English religion, character and
literature. 1t has done much to de-
prive the Hebrew Scriptures Of alien
characteristics The Authorized Yer
sion is the great well of English unde
filed, a work of such idiomatic vigor
that it stands unrivaled.
The Booth anniversary of the Author
lied Version is to be celebrated next
May. The occasion viii be marked by
the issue of the new edition revised by
American and English scholars under
the auspices of Oxford University. This
revision is purely literary. While the
English Bible has been more influential
than anything else in giving fXity to
the language, many changes in gram
matical usage and in the meaning of
words in common use have crept into
the common speech in three centuries.
The scholars now in conference have
been at work on conservative lines to

his position. He said:
81 am very glad that at last the men
who have been making these cowardly
attacks upon me for the last month are
being forced into the open. The yelled
newspaper insinuations and whispers on

their statements before the territorial
committee in open meeting.

Corn Cut for silase.

Corn Gut for SiIage.
Corn Of any variety is at its best for
feeding or silage as it comes from the
field when about half of the ears are
just past the age for table use-com-
monty called roasting ear stage-and
the lower leaves on the stalk are be-
ginning to dry out, says Hoard's Dairy
man. For soiling purposes, it is i'm
practicable to have the crop at it's very
best for any considerable time. Com
mence to cut a few days before It
reaches it's maximum value and con-
tinue after this stage is passed. Elk
periments appear to have demonstrate
ed that for fodder the largest amount
Of nutriment per acre Is obtained by
planting in continuous rows and SO
thick that the tendency to form ears
will be much lessened. The yield per
acre depends so much upon the varie-
ty and the soil and care in planting
and cultivating that no satisfactory
estimate of the average can be given.
There is almost no limit to the amount
that may be fed, provided one COM
mences with a limited amount and in
gradually up to the limit of
each cows appetite, but probably thir-
ty to forty pounds a day Is about as
much as it would usually be profitable
to feed.
