TROUBLES CAUSED BY SOME OF
THE WOMEN SHOPPERS.

Hero Is an example: A fat woman
came In for a suit. requiring size AZ.
After much trouble she found sonnet nlng
to suit her as to style and color. &c.
She ordered a suit like 1t. We went
to great trouble on account of her be-
Ing of unusual size to have her fitted
correctly. and the cloth nearly as like
the one she selected as possible. When
the suit was finished the woman took
exception to the fact that the stripe
was not exactly the same. After prov
ing to her by comparison with the
original suit that 1t was the same, she
found the very small weave Of the goods
was not exact.
"Now, in order TO please this woman.
we had taken great pains with several
aiterations, which must have cost the
house extra. and yet she Insisted that
because the goods did not come from
the exact bolt that the original suit
was made from-whlch goods had been
used UP long before-that therein we
had failed and she would not take the
suit, though It Htted perfectly. even
with the extraordinary size.
Perhaps the average woman
doesn't know that . soleswoman's
sales are counted up and mark her
worth to the house accordingly.
So that everything that Gomez
back in Ike manner 10 deducted
from her sales. It happens, then,
that after she has spent many
hours at work trying to please the
customer, II the sale 10 not made
to hcr credit, she loses thereby.
And OF course the only way
the merchant has OF estimating
salsswoman's work 10 IN the sum
ming up OF real sales. Thus her
tact In understanding people comes
into play,

obtained patents giving him the right
to make vamps and tops Of vegetable
fiber which he has invented and per-
fected to be used in the manufacture
of shoes. A few cases Of shoes have
been made of this material, which ap-
pears to be a good substitute for leath-
er. The fiber is said to be particularly
adaptable for warm weather wear be-
cause being of woven material, air
can penetrate the vamp and top. The
inventor also claims that shoe made
of this material is waterproof.

The Pumpkin.

The pumpkin is now waxing fat and
attaining a golden hue where 1t Is
ensconced between the rustling rows
of corn. The pumpkin is large vege-
table of the melon family. 1t is poor
relation of the watermelon and cou-
sin by divorce of the cantaloupe. 1t
tastes better than most cantaloupes'
It marries into the Usage melon
family and in consequence the latter
becomes eXasperating as food PROD
uct and useless for pie.
The pumpkin is utilized for pastry
and poetry.
1t brings more financial returns as
the latter. Any journeyman poet can
take Rileys ideas and grow senti-
mental over a pumpkin BY proper
handling of his words and meter he
can bring tears to the eyes and make
the reader long to go forth and clasp
a pumpkin to his bosom.
Pumpkins are put into poetry by
means of the b'gosh method OF verse
writing. They are put into pies by
removing the rind and boiling the in
side into a mush, which is then dis
guised with cinnamon, mustard, gin
ger. paprika, horse radlsh, sugar, all
spice and other condiments, so that
the pumpkin flavor is removed.
Thus it is possible to make a pump

anything, provided the true artistic
touch is added with little ochre.,

BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop, Kan.-"About two years ago
began to notice breaking out on my
leg. At first 1t was very small but
soon 1t began to spread until 1t formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant Many
nights could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching 1t
would burn 30 dreadfully that l
thought l could not stand it. For near
ly year l tried all kinds OF salves
and ointment, but found no RELIEF.
Some salves seemed to make 1t worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.
