TWO PEOPLE IN A STORE

Have you ever observed the ac
store? If not, you stiH have some
thing to learn.
We spent few minutes In a 10
cal store yesterday and this is whai
we saw:
A nan from the country stl ollet
in, greeted the proprietor with a
breezy Hello" remarked about the
weather, crop prospects, the --latest
dog fight and a few other important
matters, and eventually remembered
that he wanted curry comb. He
took the first one handed him. tossed
a dollar ON the counter, showed the
change into his pocket without count
ing, helped himself to an apple, and
leisurely followed his nose to the
street.
Ten minutes later woman walked
briskly in, handed the clerk smil.
ing good morning." and promptly
requested to be shown thus-and-so.
She picked it up, felt of 1t, held it
up to the light, twisted 1t, turned it
over. examined it from every van
tage point, considered the priee-and
rejected it. 1t was not just what
she was looking for.
Did the clerk have something else
He did. Three different something's
were shown her without any better
result. Then the light of the world
returned to her first love, tested it,
fondled it, caressed it, and told the
clerk she guessed 1t would do,
though not just exactly what she
wanted"
She paid for it, counted her change
carefully, let her eyes roam over
the store, took note of numerous
things she wanted later on, and de-
parted with a fund of information
stored UP for her next visit.
Women are born shoppers.-Ex.

Too Undiplomatic.

Washington, July I.-That President
Wilson will ask George Fred Williams
to resign as minister to Greece, on ae-
count of his savage criticism of the

When the rebellion broke out against
William of Wied, Albania S new king,
Williams went from Athens to Durazzo
to offer his services as mediator. He
accomplished nothing, but he did re.
turn to Athens with an exceedingly
poor opinion of the manner in which
William was handling affairs in Al
bania.
In a public statement he issued, he
declared the ruler weak individual,
blamed the powers severely for giving
him the position, as well as for nearly
every step they have taken in Alba.

ing in a recent speech, considered by
the president as reflecting on his ad-
ministration.
AS the address was published, Evans
appeared to have ridiculed the Monroe
doctrine and declared that the United
States was becoming too mcddlesome.
Evans, when asked to explain. said he
was misquoted and that what he did
assert was that, with its widespread in.
