stances are often very embarrassing
for those who do not happen to en-
joy the bliss of ignorance. A crude
but good example of this is the story
told by young man, who was reared
and educated in Topeka but is now
| managing a ten. cent store in Ala
| bama. 1t was circus day and the
crowd in his store was representa-

ers of the south. An old lady was
seen looking around, evidently for
some purchase which she hoped to
the foorwalker, she said, Will you
all. tell me where the spittoons are?'
She was directed to the counter where
| the cuspidorS were sold by perhaps
the meekest, most refined little girl in
the store.
There didn't happen to be any of
the thing wished in sight, so the sales
girl produced one from underneath
the counter and held it out for the
inspection of her customer. The
woman, who was walking advocate
of the tobacco industry, calmly used
the cuspidor and walked on with a.
well satisfied air.
