New Sandwich Idea That Carries With

But she gave them recipes to cook

salad Ia the best in the world, Mrs.

David WON A Wife
Encounter With a Burglar Lucky
Stroke for PIucky Young
Salesman.
BY AUGUSTUS GOODRICH sHER-
WIN.


There was only one ray OF light Wis.
lble about the plant OF the Interstate
Manufacturing company. That was In
corner OF the main Office, where
David Harris sat porting over
an account book. Once in q while he
lifted his eyes and stared dreamily
ut the wall. 1t was not from WEAKNESS
Or distaste for the extra work he was
doing. 1t was when the picture OF his
dance. pretty Mary Lee, came float
ing into his mind, and the air castles
concerning her formed perfect vista
Of magical creations.
AS to the extra work, David welcom.
ed that heartily. It meant extra
money, and ready cash was large ele-
ment in his prospects Just now. The
company employing him did not pay
princely salaries. Practical. hard-flst-
I'd old Silas Lee, Mary's father, had
set the figure David must earn before
he would consent to marriage with
MS daughter. What worried David
was that an advance in salary seemed
long ways off. Worse than that, he
believed old Lee capable OF encourag-
Ing the advances OF suitors more de-
sirable in money way.
Mary loves me, that's sure" solllo-
luizcd John, 80 l can only keep plug
ging away. Perhaps 4 new open
ing may come along. Anyhow, I'll
go at the work with the best that's
IN me. Hello!"
David was suddenly startled. The OF.
ice door went open with q crash, and
Mr.. Morse, president OF the com
pany, plunged into view. He held an
open telegram in hts hand, and he
looked anxious and flustered.
Nobody here but you" he spoke in
q disappointed tone. David fancied.
No. sir, | had some extra work"
Eyes, yes know all about that;
but where is Simmons, the head sales

vid over.
See here" he said finally, did you
ever sell our goods?"
Except to calling customers and
through correspondence. no sir" ad-
mtted David, rather reluctantly.
DO you think you could?"
I'D try mighty hard, given a
chance" replied David. wondering If
tho new opening" was coming his
way
Very well, I'm going to test you out,"
declared Mr.. Morse with sudden deter
mination. Now, listen carefully.
You know Borden. our travelling sales
man? From the Office We worked up a
ten thousand dollar order for four ma
chimes from a Mr.. William Henry Of

our goods seemed to please Henry"

his coat.
At five o'clock the next morning Da-
yid was camping on the front porch OF
the home Of Mr.. William Henry. He
had reached Acton at midnight, had
got the forwarded specifications and

READ YOUR HOME MERCHANTS ADS,

Someone has said TO have
your wife become an advertise
ment reader is better fortune for
You than an increase of salary"
There is some sound logic in this
statement and the Examiner
agrees with the man who invent
ed it. 1t is further stated that
the ad-reading housewife makes
the family expense money go
farther, makes it buy more and
better things, and in the course
of year will have saved n sur
prising sum, without curtailing
home supplies.
The ad-reading housewife sim
ply applies business methods to
buying the needed home sup
plies. By reading the ads she
learns when, where and how
much to buy at a time. These
are more facts that should be
needed by the conservative house
wife, the habit of wise buying
practiced by ad-readers exclu-
sively lends to wise and syste-
matte and frictionless manage
ment of all home routine and af-
fairs.
1t is fair to contend that the
public in general who did not
read the ads of their local paper
lose more than the merchants
and other business houses that
spend money for advertising
when their ads are not read. In
these sedate times it is conceded
that store which has anything
to advertise will advertise it fully
and informingly. So, when a
stores ad is missing from the
paper, the reader assumes that
nothing special is happening at
that store at that time, which
conclusion is usually right.
Never lay your paper away un-
til you have thoroughly scanned
the advertisements. You may
find bargains just as alluring in
your home merchants ad as you
have seen in some mail order
catalogue. And besides you will
not have to send the money out
of the country where you have
acquired it, to buy something
unsite and unseen. -Ex.
