SMALL HINGES.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

A little runt of boy came shyly for
ward to greet Mrs. Jones when. tired
with her shopping, she sat down on .
stool in the toweling department.
Mrs. Jones owned a hotel and was
buying supplies.
1t was the boys first day at the
counter. He had just been promoted
from the stock room, where he had
made good.
What is this bolt of toweling worth
hotel rates?"
The stripling's eyes bulged.
"I'l have to ask the head OF the
department. This is my first day sell
ing goods. Please excuse me. madam.
for just moment"
He rushed to the senior and eagerly
made inquiry.
Are you sure she wants whole
bolt?" said the department head. Tell
her I'll be there In q moment and wait
on her myself"
The boys face fell, but
What was it? Was it something In
the disappointed droop OF the young
salesman? Anyway. when the man
came forward. briskly rubbing his
hands, Mrs. Jones said:
Excuse me; this boy Is waiting on
me. II you will give him prices we
shall get along very WELL"
They did get along. And when the
woman's bill was footed up it came
to 500. Ninety dollars. Wouldn't they
stare when he turned in his little sales
book on his first days showing?
The sequel?
The woman became a regular Gus
toner of the boy, who was always at
tentive and obliging. and brought her
friends to the counter. Very soon the
boy got a raise in salary and is now
head of the department.
A little thing to do. but
1t was a big thing TO the boy and
gave him a fine start upward.
The fact is
LITTLE things are the HINGES on
which BIG things TURN.
And you!
Probably you Will never be able to
do big things In a big way, but you
can put in a swivel hinge here and
there
/ Can't you?
, A kind word. a thoughtful hint, a
little boost-these are worth reams of
papers read at the woman's club on
the ''uplift-''
