Democratic Sentinel, Volume 22, Number 39, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 October 1898 — Failed to Tempt Her. [ARTICLE]

Failed to Tempt Her.

Clerk —Talk about close-fisted men. Why, that woman just going out at the door could give any man I ever saw cards and spades. Floorwalker—Oh, It’s a woman’s nature to haggle over prices, you know. Olerk—But she didn’t haggle. She selected her things and paid for them without a word, but during the nineteen minutes I kept her waiting for her change she never looked at a thing in the store. ’Fraid she’d see something she wanted, I suppose.
