Good Business

II I possessed a shop or store,
I'd drive the grouches Oft my floor:
I'd never let some gloomy guy,
Offend the folks who came to buy;
I'd never keep a boy or clerk
With mental toothache at his work,
Nor let a man who draws nv pay
Drive customers of mine ay.
I'd treat the man who takes my time
And spends a nickle or a dime
With courtesy and make HIM feel
That l was pleased to close the deal
Because tomorrow, who can tell:
He may want stuff I have to sell.
And in that case then glad he'll be
To spend his dollars all with lne.
The reason people pass one door
To patronize another store
1t not because the buster place
Has better silks or gloves or ace
Or cheaper ptices, but it lies
In pleasant wo.ds and smiling eyes:
The only difference, / believe
is in the treatment folks receive.
It is good bus to be fan,
To keep bright and cheert' air
About tn" place. and not to show
Your customers now much You kn'w
Whatever am patron did

in the Grecian Golden Age. as we'll
us before and since, Greece was
house divided against Itself. It's de
tailed history would mean the history
of more than $50 separate states

rious groups stood IN the way of fu

While Great Britain may be de

THE DRAGON
SCREEN OF PEKIN
Treasure Hidden Behind Hillock in
Winter Palace Grounds, But Few
Visitors Ever Run Across 1t.

One Of the unexpected treasures Of
Pekin is the dragon screen. II is barely
mentioned in some OF the guide books
and not mentioned at all in Others. 1t
is hidden behind a hillock in the winter
palace grounds, and nine-tenths of the
visitors to Pekin walk within hundred
yards OF IL and never dream of its ex-
istence.
1t is wall perhaps 20 feet high and
a hundred long, faced completely with
tile cast to represent nine life-size
dragons in the bas-relief, of various
coIors yellow, purple, buff, maroon,
orange dancing gayly above emerald
pillows, against a pale blue sky.
Doubtless one should not speak Of
'slife size" dragons, but these creatures
of the screen are the aliyest dragons

BUYING A BROOM.
Points Worth Knowing as to Signs Of

complish it by telephoning their grocer
to send them broom. which he forth.

he makes the largest profit, Sometimes
you get a good broom in this way.
Sometimes not. A recent trip made BY
the writer through the works OF d
broom factory where brooms have been
made for SO years has taught her to use
more care in the choice Of broom
She would have the purchaser consider
broom under three items handle,
corn or brush and workmanship. The
buyer should first take into account
the work which the broom ii expected
to do. For sweeping carpets and rugs
sitter broom should be purchased than
for sweeping bare floors, where flexi-
bility and softness serve the turn bet
ter
A broom of the first water should
have natural finished or vanished
handle. Painted handles may conceal
defective or poor wood, liable to break
or splinter. Unless the paint is of ex-
ceptional quality it is likely to run and
stain the hands subjected to the
warmth and moisture incident to the
welding broom of any complexion.
The corn Of good broom should
have a fine fiber Coarse fiber indicates
overripe and therefore brittle corn. 1t
should be free from stems, which break
or scratch polished floors. The tip OF
the broom, whore It's sweeping qualities
lie, should be fine and soft to the touch.
The color is of no great Importance,
unless IL is overly green, an Induction
OF Overlooking in cheap brooms. Nor
does it matter particularly where the

cality being practically indistinguiAha.

Too Many Holidays.

Whatever the inherent merits OF the
proposal TO honor Benjamin Franklin
by adding another holiday TO our al
ready overloaded list OF excuses for
stopping work, this is as bad time TO
put forward such suggestion as could
be imagined. With ten or dozen
weekdays IN each year on which work
comes to a dead halt in celebration of
some anniversary or other, the country
even now is losing millions Of labor
