he swung the door on it's rusty hinges

entered, by the side of a newly made

very drear to Jack now, but as he
knelt he thought he heard, as echoed
across the long years: L will be

Christmas Eve comes at last and
usually finds every one cross and
tired, the counters look as If a cy-
clone had swept over them while
cries of distress come from the va
rions cashiers who have had deal
ings with short change artists.
No extra pay is given the clerks
for working overtime, but they
are given a present accompanied
with card wishing them a Merry
Christmas and thanking them for
their valued services, also advising
an indefinite vacation. Those who
have been in the service of the
firm for less than one year receive
$3.50; all who have been employed
one year and less than five receive
$500. Managers and department
heads receive $1,000 and $4,000
respectively. During the Christ.
mas season of 1905 in Chicago it
was estimated that ten million dol
lars worth of business was done
by the State street department
stores. The Fair store, where the
writer was employed, b I'd over
four thousand clerks and averaged
$3.50. 900 cash receipts during the
week preceding the 25th. The

Another hard type of Christmas
shopper to deal with is the lady
who loses her head and forgets
who, what and where she is. The
many beautiful articles SO lavishly
displayed upon the counters, the
courteous clerks thrusting their
goods before the eyes in Tempt
ing manner and the presence Of
SO many other shoppers, who ap-
parently possess unlimited means
to satisfy thei' tastes, all seem to
act in a hypnotic manner upon the
mind Of this kind of shopper.

Now, on all sales e holiday goods
the exchange and refund privilege
is suspended. The reason is OBJ
vious: This class of merchandise
is manufactured and placed on
sale once year. To carry it over
until the next season means to-
tai loss. All clerks are instructed
to inform customers Of this rule
and ninety-nine shoppers out of
every hundred buy with this un-
derstanding. No doubt there is
a rude awakening at home when
the head of the family sees his
hard earned money squandered on

ter-pieces. Hence the return and
the resulting scenes at the store

The holiday season is conven-
tionally spoken of as one Of good
cheer. Everyone is supposed to
have some reas IN for being happy
aud scattering rays of sunshine
across the path of his neighhor.
"'Tis true, pity tits true,' that this
is nursery tale indelibly planted
in our youthful minds and one
which we in latter years strive to
maintain, even when our hearts
are SCARED aud laden with the bat
tie for mere existence.
On the face OF tue returns it is
evident that to the extremes OF
Society only this season of the
year is one Of joyfulness and
thankfulness, the very young and
very old The one in poverty and
the multi-millionaire. To the in
termediase classes the coming Of
the holiday season means long
hours of unremitting toll and the
wasting of hard earned money in
foolish expenditures.
The Christmas holidays to the
department store employee is q
time of intense strain, both mental
ly and physically. Many suffer
complete physical exhaustion, even
the strongest not escaping. Frail
women clerks and cash girls faint
daily by the score.
About two weeks before Christ
mas Day the large department
stores take on thousands of new
clerks and employees. The great
majority of these clerks are green
and entirely ignorant OF the rudi.
ments of the art of sa'esmanship.
The only training they receive is
an hour daily the fr-t week, i'll the
store school, whore they are taught
the rules and regulations and the
use of the different sale books
cash, G. 0. D., and charge. The
finishing touches to their store
education are given them by the
floor manager of their department
and as this gentleman is always
overwhelmed by distracted shop
pers, cash girls and new clerks, i
is not difficult to imagine the treat
ment the green c'elk receives, un
less she happens to be exceptional
ly talented, apt or good looking
these have a commercial value tia
the store exploits for all they arr
worth.
This idea Of commercialism O
merchandising seems to be on,
that is destined to be forever in
comprehensive to the mind Of tb,
gentle sex. She seems to forge
that for the time being she is
mere cog in a complicated machine
and is retained only SO long as sh
is useful. From every corner O
the globe, merchandise of ever
description is gathered. 1t is dis

And still all Of this lavish exI ead

VICTORY FOR P. S. BOARD
Can Alter Rate Fixed by Statute.
Appellate Division Holds.

Albany, Nov 1.-THE right of the Public
Service Commission to alter rate fixed by
statute was upheld ny unanimous de-
ctsion OF the Appellate Division Sd De
PartmenL to-day. The court decided
against the Delaware & Hudson Company.
which sued out q writ OF certiorari "a
review the action OF the commission In re-
ducing the fare between TIconderoga sta
ton and Ticonderoga village from - to Is
cents.
The company contended that the com
mission could not alter rate fixed by Law,
and further that it could not make an
order reducing a rate on the Ticonderoga
Railroad without the presence in the record
of the Ticonderoga Railroad Company
The decision is looked on as of consid-
be Importance. IN that II Is the first
instance Sin which the commission has
sought TO lower a rate originally fixed by
an act of the Legislature The law was
amended hy the last Legislature to give
the commission such powers but the com
pany held that the Legislature had no right
SO TO delegate It's authority.

HORACE HAVEMEYER RESIGNS
New England Contingent TO Control So
Called Sugar Trust.

Horace iavemeyer. son of the late II. O.
Haveneyer has resigned from the board
of directors of the American Sugar Rein
ing Company and has also announced his
intention of giving up his position as head
of the sales department of the corporation
on January J.
Following the death Of II. Q. Havemeyer,
who was the dominant interest in the So
called Sugar Trust, of which he was presi-
dent for many years, il was reported that
his son would ultimately succeed him as
the head of the company.
The latter's resignation from the board.
of which he was elected a member on De
cernber 10. 1907, comes therefore as some
what of surprise to Wall Street, where
his action is regarded as the final with
drawal of the Havemeyer family from &C
tive participation in the corporation's af-
fairs.
Arthur Bonner. the last representative OF
the Havemever interests on the board, has
already announced that he will not accept
reelection when his present term expires
The retirement of these two men will give
the New England contingent, represented
by Edwin F. Atkins the vice-president, the
dominating influence in the corporation.

HOW TO ELIMINATE GRAFT
National Municipal League Dis
CuSSeS Timely TOPIC.

Buffalo. Nov. 16.--The word graft was
heard many times at to-day's session OF
the sixteenth annual meeting of the Ma
tionel Municipal League and eighteenth
national conference for good city govern
ment. Methods TO circumvent the grafter
and to provide system of government
which will leave him no place in the punile
service made the session the most interest
ing of this years series.
DR.. Leonhard F. Fuld. examiner Of the
Municipal Civil Service Commission OF
New York spoke on The Police Problem
He saiu that while the administration OF
the police department in the average
American city was not perfect. ii was
also true that il was the victim of 100
much criticism. He had found a large pro-
portion of policemen conscientious in the
performance of their duties. The police
man. he sal id, was the victim. in many in
stances of u political system which tied
his hands Or. Fuld favored the single
| headed department rather than the an
tiquated board system. He said:
The police problem in our American
cities is the most difficult administra-
tive problem with which American pun
lie officers must deal. Every man owes IL
to himself as d Christian duty and Il cIvlc
duty to give t;ie head of the police depart
meHt such moral aid and assistance as he
may he able To supply. We should not
criticiSe unless we able to suggest I'M
pruveTCnts. We should CritCiSe methods
rather than men. We should work with pup
lie officers. not against them; we shOu u
strive for praCtiCa 5ility and Hon-partlSan-
snip in police administration.
Take away the probability OF conceal
ment. and few men nave the courage 10

He had u badly Iacerated scalp. and was
