Their TWO WAYS
Women Shoppers Show There Are
Two Methods OF Killing a Cat.
One Gets Grudging Service by Sharp
Demands While other Wins Sales
girl by Her Pleasant Words.

It was three days before Christmas.
IN many departments of Bolivar *
Clark's great store girls with tlred
eyes were trying, usually with pa
tIeucc, 90 serve the neyer-ending line
of customers. In the g.ngham depart
meul, however the clerks were having
an easy time. Few persons buy ging-
hams at Christmas time. The girls,
grown careless, were talking together,
taking &c for granted that any chance
visitor 10 the department was on her
way TO the SIN, department beyond.
So # happened that two women
stood for several minutes In front Ok
the secrsutkcrs without being noticed.
Presently one of them walked across
TO the group where Madge Harkness
was graphically describing the Christ
mas that she would have If she had
a thousand dollars 10 spend. Her
voice cut sharply through Madge's gay
tonS
81 want TO see seersuckers, and I
have no time TO waste. VIII one Of
you come and walt upon me, OF shall
l call % 1DprwalkerT
A hot color famed I'm Madge's face.
She turned at once and began taking
down socrsucEers, She answered ey-
cry question distinctly; there was not
thing with which her customer could
find fault and yet her whole manner
radiated auugouIsm. When she took
the order she shrugged her shoulders
behind her customers back
"The old cut" she said to Minnie
Dixon, as her customer left. "rd like
to fling the seersucker at her head.
I'd like TO put her behind the counter
to wait upon herself Wouldn't she
be a sweet one? She'd be fred at the
end Of the first day"
Just then the other woman stepped
up to the counter. She was a little
white-hoired, old lady, but there was a
twinkle in her eyes She smiled into
Madges suIlen face with a warm
hearted friendllness.
81 hope you won't mind my saying
It," she remarked, "but what pretty
girls you have at this counter Old
ladies love to see them, you know"
For a moment Madge stared. Then
she began to laugh, and the old lady
laughed with her.
"Of course, I'd have to give you any
thing you want for that" she said.
"Of course" the old lady agreed,
twlnkling again, 81 expected you to.
But all the same" she added, when her
order was taken and she was turning
away, 81 meant it, too"
"Taffyw Madge exclaimed as she
went back to the others. But l be-
lieve she meant 1t. Anyway, it made
you feel good. Who'd have thought an
old lady like that would be so fOxy!'
The old lady herself was smiling as
she went toward the elevator, but it
was a tender smile, for she really
loved girls.
And the interested bystander who
had seen it all went on her way smil-
ing, too.-Youth's Companion.

"Puttlna Off"

Give up the very unwise habit OF
putting Off" Putting OFF will result
only in your giving up your good in
tentions. There is never any time like
the present, and no matter how busy
woman may be, she can always find
time to show some little kindness or
extend some little courtesy that may
be the means Of cheering or strength
ening another around her less strong
wllled
Putting off until tomorrow what you
could do today is sure way to upset
things in general, for procrastination Is
surely the thief Of time. Before one
realizes just how 1t happened the days
have flown by and we have not ac-
complished one-half the things we had
intended TO,
There is no time like the present,
and # we were wise we would use
every minute we are sure Of instead of
putting orr until that future that
may not come.-Exchange,

RED MEN N'ETTING SPOILS egg!
One Instance Found in Which
Cleanliness Is Menace.
Uncle Sans Specialists Say Great
Loss Results in Cold Storage
Plants From Washing Shells.

Uncle Sans specialists have dis
covered one instance where cleanli'
ness is not to be desired, where dirt
is a protection rather than a menace,
Strange to say, this discovery has tc
do with the preservation Of one item
of food supply.
Approximately 100000 dozen eggs
spoil needlessly every year in cold
storage simply because someone has
let clean eggs get wet or has washed
dirty eggs before sending them to
market, according to the experts OF
the United States department Of ag'
riculture. Careful Investigations OF
large quantities of stored eggs show
that from II to p per cent Of washed
eggs become worthless in storage,
whereas only to s per cent Of dirty
eggs stored unwashed spoil. The ex.
PLANTATION is simple. Water removes
from the shell Of the egg gelatinous
covering which helps to keep air and
germs out of the inside of the egg,
Once this covering is removed by
washing or rain which gets to eggs in
the nest, germs and mOlds find ready
access to the contents and spoil the
eggs.
This enormous loss in storage eggs
largely can be prevented, it is de-
clared, If producers and egg handlers
will refrain from washing eggs des
tined for the storage markets and take
pains to reduce the number Of dirty
eggs by providing plenty Of clean
sheltered nests for their hens.
Millions Of eggs spoil in storage be-
cause they have been exposed to dew,
rain, dirt, and sun in stolen nests in
the grass or fence corners.
In view Of this great loss Of valu'
able food, the department urges coun'
try storekeepers and hucksters not to
accept washed eggs for shipment in
case lots. Shiny eggs, especially in
the early spring, probably have been
washed. All washed eggs purchased
should be sold locally for immediate
consumption, it is declared.

NEGLECTED SOURCE OF FOOD
Sweet Potatoes Can Be Made lmpor.
tant and Cheap Item Of Diet, Say
Uncle Sans Farm Experts.

Sweet potatoes can be made an i'm
portant and cheap source of food, say
specialists in Uncle Sans department
Of agriculture. 1t is quite easy to in
crease the acreage enormously, and
the adoption Of better methods Of
handling and storing would improve
the product to such an extent that the
demand would be greatly stimulated
Storing sweet potatoes has always
been more difficult problem than
producing them, A large part Of the
Southern crop is kept in pits and
banks, with the result that probably
30 per cent Of the potatoes decay, and
even those which nre fit to put on the
market do not keep well, Moreover,
the pits and banks cannot be opened
during wet or rainy weather without
risk Of injurlng all the stock In them,
so that lt Is not uncommon for grow
ers TO be unable, because Of weather
conditions, to get out their potatoes
at the very time that the market de-
mand for them Is greatest.
These difficulties can be done away
with to great extent by the use OF
sweet potato storage houses, II Is de-
clared.

Making Life Joyous.

It is not the great tragedies which
make life so disappointing. 1t is far
more the lack Of the world that might
perfectly well have been spoken, the
letter which might have been written,
the visit that might have been paid.
It takes very little sometimes to set
life at the full again, and when our
hearts do leap with joy it is more often
than not because something old has
flourished again, Why hunt up novel;
ties when by just touch on some old
spring the whole world will look like
a new world to someone you knowi
Is there one Of us who does not know
two or three exact spots where he can
make that happen?

How ENGLAND Obtained Canada.

Acadia-now Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick the Hudson's Bay ter
rltory were ceded to Great Britain by
France by the treaty Of Utrecht In
17l5. To be sure, Britain had an Older
title to the Hudson's Bay territory by
reason of discovery and occupation
and the territory came to mean about
all the Canadian West Of today. Old
Canada--today the provinces Of Que
bee and Ontario--were ceded to Great
Britain by France by the treaty OF
Paris, signed on February 10, 17oS
BY this same treaty France gave up
any claim to the Ohio valley and othss
territory now forming much OF tht
central West Of the United States.
