THAT CUT In LEGALs
Publishers DO Not Need Any Lead.

Sen, Balbridge has introduced a
bill i'm the state senate applying
economy with leveling process to
the newspapers. Should his bill
pass, the rate Tor legal notices will
be 90 cents an inch for the first

for each additional insertion. 10
takes . nonpareil lines to make an
inch, and that would make the price
of legal notices go at 10 cents
per line for the first insertion.
and 2 l-12 cents line for each
subsequent insertion. And that is
hardly enough. For legal notices
the present rates are little enough.
The notices are net very interest
ing matter at bI st and any paper
that suffers them to be inserted in

pensation for the infliction. We
know of no paper in the state of i

wants to cut that price still further
by cutting it in two. Why should

her feet.
The mother who comes in with her daugh-
ter to see that she gets good fi- is another
cause for the shoe clerks nightmare. She
never likes what the daughter likes, andsthe
daughter is never satisfied with her mothers
choice.
The question Of dispute is, as a rule. over
the height of the heels. In these days Of
English shoes 1t is the mother who thinks the
heels are too low. She used to fuss about
them being too high. In cases of such con-
troversy the shoe clerk must be diplomat
and prove his knowledge of the fundamentals
of diplomacy by observing a bsolute reticence.
II he takes sides at all he must nowadays
take the daughters side. Ten years ago It
was better II he stuck with the mater.
Most women solemnly announce upon their
advent in the shoe store that they have a
very hard foot to fit. This is as rule an
advance apology for their contemplated
crankiness, or it may also be the mantle sta
tion Of their pride in the individuality Of their
foot formation. Often it is both. Having
made this initial announcement most of the
women shoppers qualify it by declaring that
they have a high instep which causes the
difficulty in fitting their feet.
Shoe clerks used to aggravate this trouble
by solemny declaring that high instep was
sign of aristocracy. That multiplied the
high instep brigade immensely. There are
some who declare that they have a low arch
and high instep, disregarding all the laws
of anatomy.

And they know what the good grades are.

I AVE you ever seen a misosynist-a
man who is unnatural enough to hate
woman? II you have, ten to one he
is a shoe clerk. No other person has
such unbounded opportunities to OBJ
serve the peculiarities of the feminine sex
as the shoe clerk, and no other class of hu-
mans is therefore SO liable to lose faith in
the common sense of the fair ones.
II a shoe clerk is cynical about the common
sense of women you can't blame him. Poor
fellow. what experience he has,
His most frequent pest is of course the
woman who knows the exact size Of her
foot, but doesn't. She has been the object
of jests since time immemorial, and often the
question is asked: lis she really SO bad?"
" ell. she is. At least a third Of all women
shoe buyers of this city positively claim that
they wear smaller size shoe than they
actually do. That is, however not altogether
their fault. They wore two" or a
- three or " four" at one time in their
life and they never realized when their feet
grew. The kind shoe clerk hated to break
new pair of shoes they bought the tininess
of their feet became a greater object of
pride. Pity the poor shoe clerk who tells
them the truth! The shoe he fits on them is
too large even II il packs the toes in true
sardine fashion.
But the woman who wants size four -
shoe for a size a. six " foot is notNhe worst
bane of the shoe clerks life. There is the
woman who is perfectly satisfied with the
shoe she bought until a minute before she
leaves the store. Then sister sitting beside
her tries on different style that suits her
fancy better than her own purchase. Shoe
clerks therefore never count a customer safe
