For the purpose of such fine and delicate measurement tool makers use what is called a micrometer caliper. The hair's breadth is something that has to be taken into consideration in the manufacture of a thousand and | one things in the machine maker's art, Close calculation of this sort must be done on the doors of bank vaults, for example, where every part must fit to the nicest degree.—Harper's Weekly., The Youth in Politics. Professor Blackie was in favor of & higher age limit for parliamentary candidates than is at present enforced. “I remain decidedly of opinion,” he writes, “that no man ought to open his month on the hustings or at public dinners till he is at least 30 years of age. Young men are absolutely inca- able of political wisdom; it is the fruit of time and cannot be extemporized from the young ebullience of the brain like a brilliant lyric poem or a dashing novel.” ‘. P THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., FEBRUARY 5, 1912. | | Woman in Brown—How much are these dust caps? [ I Girl at the Booth—Forty-five cents, madam, Woman in Brown—For goodness’ | sake! Mame, did you hear that? Why, | that's the cheapest sort of stuff, and s0 easy to make! ] Mame—Why, my gister makes them | by the dozen. Girl at the Booth—They cost me 35 cents apiece just for the goods, I didn't cocunt anything for my time. Woman in Brewn—Oh, did you make | them? Well, I suppose it does seem | like hard work if you're not used to sewing. Come on, Mame, let's go over |to the dell section, | i Woman in Green—What are these | ! things? Girl at the Booth—Clothespin dolls. | { They are for children, Woman in Green—They ought to be at the doll counter. Why aren't they in the doll booth, I wonder? ! Girl at the Booth—They haven't | room for them over there, so they sent them here. They sell for 20 cents. { Woman in Green—Twenty cents! For mercy sakes! Anybody can make them. Why, they're only clothespins! The idea! Girl at the Booth—The hair is made | of darning cotton and it takes a | whole morning to make one. Woman in Green—I'd give you ten cents for one. Are these things sach- ets? Are they all pink? Why haven't you some yellow ones? 1 don't care for pink.” Girl at the Booth—Whoever sent | them in did not make yellow ones, Woman in Green—They have them just like that down town. I think I'll buy down town, Which is the candy booth? | | i Child—Oh, mamma, lookit! these dolls cuning? | Mother—Yes, yes; be still, child, What do you ask for that big picture over there? The one with the woman and the little boy? Girl at the Booth—That was donated by an art store. It was priced at $3.50. Isn't it pretty? Mother—Rather, 1'd prefer a life sceno, though, Haven't you any fruit pictures? Girl at the Booth—That's all we have. Would you like one of those calendars, Mrs, Drake? Mrs. Drake—Oh, how do you do? Are you helping out? Do you like the work? Well, I suppose you wouldn't do it if you didn't like it. How much are the calendars? Girl at the Booth—Fifteen cents. Shall T wrap it up? Mrs. Drake—Dear, no. I don’t know that I want it Fifteen cents is so high. Why, those calendars are only tinted, and everybody does tinting nowadays, Girl at the Booth—The calendare cost me ten cents uncolored, Mrs. Drake—Oh, did you do them? Well, they aren't bad for tinting, What on earth is that child doing? Gracious, g0 away! Mother—I1 regret the annoyance my child seems to be causing you. She {s very small, and does not understand, She Is just trying to get under the booth, that's all. Mrs. Drake—Oh, is that all? Tdon't think 1 shall buy just now. TI'll wait til my husband comes and see what he wants. He's coming soon. I'll just look around, Child—Honk, honk! Get out of the way! I'm an automobile, Aln't Woman in Black—Dear, dear. Why | quepggpe s — SR id You Know| That one of the largest and most varied stocks in Florida is embraced i1 do they allow children to act like that? Don’'t you think they ought to keep such children at home? Mother—Scarcely. That's my child, madam, Woman in Black—Too bad! of course too bad I spoke so. much is that handkerchief? Woman in Brown—That's my pur- chase, madam, I just picked it up to buy it. Please, young lady, sell me this handkerchief. Woman in Black—I spoke for it first. How much is it? Woman in Brown—How foolish! I had my finger on it when you spoke. Girl at the Booth—The handkerchief is not for sale, ladies. It is mine. I dropped it on the counter a moment ago. I mean How Woman in Blue—T'll take this blot-l ter. When my husband comes he'll pay you for it. You know me; it will be all right. Evidently you aren't used to wrapping up packages. Child—-Toot! toot! too*! I'm a choo- choo. Get out the way, Mother—Isn’t she the dearest thing! I couldn’t find what 1 wanted over at the other booth, so I'll take a calendar, It wouldn’t do to go away without any- thing, and 1 can give that to my laun- dress. Wrap it up carefully, <~ it will show that I bought somethin Manager of Bazar—That's Mrs. Car| I'll try to shoo her| Iyle over there. over here. Make a sale it you can, for she's worth a million. Be careful, 1 now. | [ Woman in Green—Well, here I am i back again. Ill take seven of thouo] | sachets after all. They tell me that they cost five cents more downtown. ' Young man—Good evening, Jean. How are you getting on? You look tired to death. Aren't you going to let me take you home now? Girl at the Booth—Oh, Jack, 1t you only would! Jast appearance behind the counter.
