SHE GOT fl BARGAIN.
Better Than That, she Knew How
to Use it After Getting it.
A lady surrounded the bargain
counter of one of the big retail
i stores on Sixth avenue the other
day and captured a fragment of
china silk with which she wanted
to make a screen To accomplish
this required a degree of strategy
I and physical exertion sufficient to
equip a college eleven for active
service on the gridiron. But she

“I spent the whole afternoon,”
said she to a friend, “and when I
got home I figured the whole thing
up. I could have bought the same
stuff up stairs at the regular coun
ter for 29 cents a yard, and I want
ed only yards. Well, that mean
little clerk sold me four yards for
35 cents —it was a remnant, you
i know —so I found I had been trod
den upon for about two hours and
squeezed black and blue and had
Jost just 3 cents by the operation.

“Oh, yes, that, is the same piece of
silk Mrs. Blank returned last
week,”
“Yes, I was stricken dumb. If
there had been room enough, I’d
have dropped. But that’s nothing.

other lady glanced at the silk 1

“That’s real pretty,” said she.
“How many yards? ’
“Four, ma’am,” says he.
“How much?’
“Forty cents,” says he, with
the most unblushing face. It’s the
last piece of that shade in the
I house,” says he.
“I’ll take it,” says she, pulling
out her purse just as he gave me
my ticket for the return of that
identical piece. Well, then I knew
that young man deliberately cheat
ed me and v as going to cheat that
lady right before my face. But I
got my breath quick enough to
tell her. And I did. J said: “Mad
am, I’ve just this minute brought
that back. Its damaged. Look at
these holes! He knows i’ts dam

“Well, if you could have seen
the look she gave him ! Then she
turned on her heel and went out.

An anti-dust brush, says Cas
sell’s Family Magazine, has just
patented, the use of which
does away with any neccessity
for sprinkling floors with water,
tea leaves, sawdust or i.ny other
medium for preventing the rising
of dust during the sweeping of un
carpeted floors. The brush itself is
circular in shape, and is surmount
ed with metal reservoir in which
is carried a disenfective fluid,
‘stourolene” by name. In the or
dinary way the brush is used rigid
but if the duet begins to rise the
pressing of a peg m the handle al
lows the brush to revolve and at
the same time charges it with the
fluid.

back at the adoring man in the
hall below.

Calling Smith.
Miss Kate Field relates an ex
perience which she had in trying
to sleep in a hotel in a Utah min
ing town where the partitions be
tween the rooms were of boards
merely and quite innocent of lath
and plaster. The ordinary going
and coming of the early part of the
night were bad enough, but toward
morning, when at last she had fal
len asleep, a loud voice shouted
from her keyhole:
“Smith! Smith!”
As her name was not Smith, she
made no response.
“Smith 1 ” came the shout again.
“It’s time to skip ! ”
“My name is not Smith,” she
then answered.
From across the hall came the
call of the day clerk, who occupied
the room there.
“No. That ain’t Smith, Smith’s
at the end of the hall.
“Well, this is the end of the
hall,” came from the neighbor
hood of the keyhole again. It was
the voice of the porter.
“Aren’t there two ends to the
hall? It’s the other end, you block
head
“Who wants Smith?” came a
sharp voice from the distance.
,‘l’m Smith.”
“What’s the matter? I’m
Smith,” came still another voice.
“Well, whichever Smith warns
to get up at 4 o’clock, him’s the
one,” growled the porter.
Both these Smiths slammed
their doors with a vehement pro
testation that they didn’t want
to get up.
“It’s Smith in No, 1! ” scream
ed the day clerk.
The right Smith had not been
waked at all, so the porter found
No. 1 and pounded on the door so
hard that every-body in the house
who had not already been waked
was arous' d, and several people
rushed out into the hall, thinking
there was a fire.
The porter went down complac
ency to the office on the floor be
low.
Well,” said he to the night
clerk, “I waked him up anyhow.”
