In the Waiting Room, It was the ladies’ waiting room of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley rail rond at Fremont. I always make for the ladies’ waiting room in any aepot, for the reason that @ room that is regarded by a railroad company as fine enough to be de voted exclusively to ladies is about the only one that a self-respecting man can endure. So by a pleasant little fiction one can imagine himself a lady for the time and enjoy the luxuries provided for that favored sex. There wore some half-dozen persons in the room. A fow drummers were waiting to take the train to Omaha. A sclool teacher was going to Blair, and the rest were bound for yurious places north and east.

The chief dish is alwaysa sivloin of beef, and the wonderful Chrisumas turkey, of which the story papers are so full, is only an incidental auxiliary, Perhaps the genuine New Yorker is more an ious about his fish than anything e and will always have, if he can, sheeps- head or redsnapper. which is not dif- 1t in these day refrigerating fish tanks. When th and the turkey and the game have been purchased Washington market, the Christmas rketer has only a few blocks to go to get to Pulton market, where he can se- leet his oysters and buy turtle soup in tins ready for consumption.

In fact a study of many stores would resnlt in the con tion that no one now, male or fe will buy anything unless the price is reduced, or is ticketed as reduced. Some people imagine that there is no honesty 10 these announcements, but I fancy that this is a mis n notion. Traders buy goods for the season, and they must be sold during the season. or there will be a loss on th fore if there isa may in buyers an appeal to them of a dire Some - suspicion may, however, be entertained when such staple articles as sealskin sacques are offered at an alarming sacrifice, for the time will never come when a sealskin garment will not be highly prized by a lady. There are men who affect to be more deep than their fellows, and to be able to see further into a millstone than age humanity, and they assert that s apparent craze for bargains in reality springs from greatly diminished earnings, and that the public do not buy freely because the public have no money. They say moreover that, whilst there is a semblance of activity, there is very little business, and that all the firms that make a specialty of Christ- mas books, toys and novelties have lost money so far, and will continue to lose more money as the holiday draws to a close.

It was fairly exam- ined when it was first promulgated and particul by workingmen., They re jected it because even if it had been practicable, which it is not, it would have done nothing to solve the problem which labor is cndeavoring to solve— that of constantly diminishing wag And now it has loomed up agam, and is being propagated by clubs all over the country.
