RAW SALESMANSHIP.

A newspaper writer tells of a young lady who
asked at a store counter for article for a Christ
mas gift for her mother. The salesgirl showed her
something costing SIG but the customer said that
was more than she could afford. She wanted to
pay not over $40. The clerk brought out some.
thing for $14.50 remarking, you would not mind
about $3.50 to please your mother would your
1t is hardly necessary to say that she did not
make the sale.
There still some salespeople left who think
they can force people into buying by making them
feel cheap. That type is considerably developed by
the big city stores, where all the customers are
strangers, and where they measure peoples worth
by their swagger style
1t is of the satisactions in doing business in
a place like Albuquerque that the saespeope are
trained to be courteous and never to question the
motives that may lie behind customers decis-
ion. When the buying public is treated that way,
1t likes to come again.

myself known; WHY | didn't speak

thing about it, I decided. Vivian
hadn't seen him, so no complica-
lions would ensue.
Did you have a nice day?" he
asked, as we sat over our dinner.
Perfectly wonderful" I an
swered, then went into a detailed
account Of what we did.

excitement over the raise" and he
tossed me a letter.

to keep from showing in my face,

But this way you'll have the

mans ignorance of the fact that
there is one time in a woman's life
when her OWN mother is the only
person she wants.
He seemed so happy, so sure I
would be also, that l said no more. |
But all my pleasure in his raise |
was gone. I had never met his |

was that she would critiCise me, |

Morton did not notice my alb
straction. She chatted pleasantly
telling me of the play we were fc

tlme could have told nothing of
all she said, but afterward | re-
membered
what was Tom doing there with
that beautifully dressed woman ?'
was the question | asked myself
over and over again.
All through the play, then during
the ride home when | exerted my
self to appear natural, | tried to
reason out the WHY of it, Tom
constantly told me we couldn't ar
ford this or that, constantly
preached economy. ana yet he took
women to lunch at one of the most
expensive places in town. What
could it mean"
Mechanically / went about pre-
pairing dinner. scarcely conscious
of what I was doing. Had Tom
tired of me already? Did he de-

thoughts that filled my mind.

tell you tonight! Is dinner ready"
Almost" [ answered, shortly.
I've had a raise Sue, isn't that

BRADsTREETS REVIEW.

New York. Jan. 21.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Improvement is still the key
word in the trade situation, but
there is still a great deal of irreg-
ularity in the reports, different in
dustries and sections of country
sending in varying advices. For
one thing: wholesale distributive
trade seems to have held all the
ground gained in recent weeks,
whereas, on the other hand, retail
trade is rather quieter, mild wealth
er in parts of the west being
charged with affecting sales of
winter apparel. Perhaps the most
marked improvement is noted in
advices as to gains in manufacture
and industry. but these gains are
not uniform, Nor are the reports
from the country as a whole uni
form. Best reports as to whole
sale trade come from the big pri-
mary markets, next to these being
the west generally and a few Pa
cific coast markets, while the
south, possibly owing to reaction
in cotton prices, shows little ground
gained.

JUST FOLKS

LITTLE BY LITTLE.

Little by little we build our lives, little by little
we move along,
Here the touch Of a care survives, there is the
lit of bit of song;
Here we blundered and spoiled the plan, there
we proved that our work was good,
For spite of the grief and the tears which ran,
our faith was true and the temple stood.
Faith is the roof which shelters ALL and hope the
glass where the comes through
Love is the mortar which holds the wall and joy
the promise of all we do
A touch of beauty the structure needs, for desc
late would our labor be
without the roses of kindly deeds for the weary
passer-by to see
Little by little our lives we build. First the
foundation of youth appears,
Then with joys are the corners filled, then come
dangers and griefs and fears;
Care besets us and days of woe seem to BATTLE
and blind us all,
But, however the storms of life may blow, the
roof of our faith must never fall.
Brave the sorrows and bear the pain, build in
beauty and strength and truth,
Never good deeds done in vain! Age still
treasures the joys of youth.
The storms pass by and the cares depart, but
always something of worth survives,
To live life well is the truest art, as little by
little we build lives.

Mrs. p. p, L.: MY sister lives

days baking together taking turns

where before we each baked only
one Kind of cake each baking day

| but divide each cake between US
in this way getting, for instance,
one-half of a dark cake and one
half of light cake. Our husbands
like this arrangement so much.

THE COST OF FATIGUE.

loss of 20 cents per employe per day is
caused, according to a writer in the National Safe
ty News, by over fatigue of working forces A GER
tain amount Of WEAKNESS is inevitable and few
people can work in late afternoon with quite the
energy of early morning But if needless fatigue is
created, the loss becomes heavy enough to take the
profit out of any business
A tired and listess group of school children can
often be set working again with energy, just by
opening the windows a few moments Similarly the
workers in factory store office can't do good
work in a poorly ventilated room.
Sufficient air space, plenty of sunlight, carefully
regulated temperature are among many conditions
that help a working force get good production

thrust the rag doll out through the
crack.
Well, that doll was the craziest
looking thing you can imagine! She
was lop sided and slab sided and
flop cared and twsty faced. One
arm dangled front side and the
other back side. One leg flopped
upside down and the other leg
downside up. And her face-oh,
her face looked like a mince pie
nightmare! Still she was just the
kind of a rag doll Baby Bunty
wanted.
But, no sooner had Uncle Wig
gily thrust the rag doll out of the
crack Of the door than a strange
voice cried:
"Oh, what's this! Oh, what a
terrible looking fairy! She'll turn
me into mud turtle, sure" and
bling, bang, bung! Something fell
flippity-flop backward off the front
stoop.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily!" cried Baby
Bunty. Did the old Bob Cat get
your"
Bob Cat?" cried the bunny gen.
tleman. was that the Bob Cat
who knocked at the door? 1
thought that was you"
NO" said Baby Bunty. 81 was
just going to, but the Bob Cat
sneaked in and got ahead of me.
What scared him."
81 guess it was your rag DOLL"
laughed Uncle Wiggily, as he gave
her to Baby Bunty.
"Oh, isn't she just too sweet! I
love herr" said the little rabbit
girl And she played all day with
the rag doh that had scared the
Bob Cat, Mrs. Wibblewobble came
little later, 50 Uncle Wiggily could
hop along, and he was glad he
had had an adventure.
