Too many merchants know too lit- tie about their books. Too many keep no books at all. They think they keep books. They, fool themselves worse. ut a few days ago a retail mer- chant doing business in a_ good Northwestern town made a_ state- ment to a mercantile agency showing him to be worth over $8,000. He really that amount. When he came to figure it out in “+ detail he did not have over $3,000 he ~ thought himself worth could call Hundreds of merchants in the Northwest know no more about their condition than _ this his own. own financial man. There is too much guess work. The merchant lumps it off at the end of the year after he has taken a second rate invoice of stock on In a Montana town is a bright young merchant who began business eight years ago on a very small cap- He now has an annual business of $50,000, but it is temporarily, at least, out of his hands. He supposed he was doing well until a credit man arrived and fig- ured out to him where he needed a guardian. The trustee is now in charge. Doing business is not the sum total of money making. There must be something left. That something left, and how much it is, are the points on which the average retail merchant fails to land accurately. The first essential is a good set of carefully kept. understanding of books with accounts The next is an what those accounts mean. For instance, if the merchandise account shows a difference between goods bought and goods sold of 20 per cent., and the expense account shows that it is costing the merchant 20 per cent. to do business, some- thing is wrong. shows that 20 per cent. is his gross profit. Another shows that he is spending 20 per business. How much ih e making? calculated. The rapid cal- culator would calculate that man out One account cent, to 4 money Easily of business in about 20 seconds. Suppose the merchant invests $200 in advertising. How does he know whether it paid? No way of telling exactly in the small town, but there is a way in the larger place. The merchant in the larger town too frequently fails to check up these returns. The a in the smaller town can get some idea by advertising certain lines of goods and watching his increase of business on_ those lines. He should make the effort to get even his advertising invest- ment down to a systematic basis. Did a certain department pay last year? Not one merchant in ten can tell. The merchant did not make as li much money as he thought he had last year. Where did he fall down? He can not tell. It should be on the books. All of it. This means more time on_ the books, but if it saves money, what of it? Money saved is easier profit than new money earned, although both amount to the same thing.— Commercial Bulletin. 8 She Wanted maa. Shee The men and women who bring checks to the bank to be cashed or large bills to be exchanged cause no end of annoyance to the teller at times The other day the following might have been heard in one of the Grand Rapids banks, when a middle aged woman presented a check for $100 and asked that it be cashed. “How will you have it?” asked the teller. “Oh, you might large bills.” give me some The teller grasped a bunch of greenbacks and began to count rap- idly. He got a good start, when the woman interrupted him with: “You might give me a few small change, if you will bills and some , please.” The interruption served to throw the teller off in his count, so he pick- ed up some more money and began to count all over again. When he had finished he pushed the money through the window toward the cus- tomer, who backed up and ex- claimed: “Is this intended for me!” wesc “Why, what am I going to do with all this change?’ “T understood you to say that you wanted some change.” “I do, but I can’t get all this in my purse.” The money was drawn back again, and the teller redistributed the money until he had only three $20 bills in his hand. “Here are three twenties,” he be- gan. “Want any tens?” res." There was a rustle of the bills, and orm he announced: Three tens. Want a fiver” “Yes, I might use it “Or would you rather have some twos and some ones?” “Let’s see. How much have you there?” “Three twenties, three tens” “Oh, two twenties will be enough and four or five tens, some fives and some change.” The teller began a recount on this basis. “Hold on,” she interrupted. ‘That will make such a wad that I can’t get it in my pocket.” The teller was off in his count again, and rested. He took a deep breath and looked around hopelessly, but recovering his courage he began again: “How would three twenties and three tens do?” "Let's see; that’s $80?” “No, that’s $oo.” “Oh, all right.” { ONT > “ " Now, do you want some twos: The Swearing “Feeling i | \ good cure for pr yfar ty was “Well, there are three twos.

Now it comes out that the birth rate in the United States is so much reduced that but for the constant and large accessions of foreign immf- 1 gration the population of the United States would be far small er than it s. This ts a condition that might ave been expected in a country that is played a prominent part in the uistory of the world for some thous ands of years, but not in a new na- tion whose existence reaches. back scarcely more than a century. under the name of Gau came into histroical prominence two thousand years ago, when it was in- vaded by Julius Caesar, with the in- vincible legions of Rome, and from that moment to the present it has 1ever been out of sight of public ob- ser The white man land- Plymouth, Mass., in 1620.

So sure and rapid was this normally increscent tendency of the people that Benjamin Franklin considered the fecundity of his na tion phenomena it i said that Thomas ‘fferson prophesied that by 1875 Op ion must number ( ss than eighty millions; and this estimate was ¢ ently based upon the reproductiy J if th people it rou -onclusion of the Revolutionary the conclusion of the Revolutionary wa id in the beginning of the nineteenth century.

This matter has been extensively taken up in the press and by the statisti- ‘cians, and has been variously com- mented on. Some writers see in it evidence of a most fateful and fatal decline in the stamina of the Ameri- can people and the forecast of an early fall of their Republic, while others hold that what the present population want is comfort and ease, and that children, if not positively a curse, are at least a most serious drawback to the enjoyment of life. Such persons argue that they have nothing to do with the founding, or the building, or the care of the na- tion. They are here without any act of their own, and it is their business to get the most out of life with the least trouble and exertion. It has been sometimes claimed by the old soldiers who fought and suf- fered through patriotic motives through the Civil war that there has been a great decline of patriotism in this country, and so far as the per- sons who express the selfish and ig- noble opinions noted above go, they are certainly devoid of all sense of responsibility for the public welfare of their country. - 10ng the writers who view the ation from a= serious point of view is Mrs. .Margaret Bisland, who in an article in the North American Review for July declares that the ll off of the birth-rate in this country is the result of the extraor dinary progress in the emancipation of women and in the consequeni breaking up and devastation of home The people ot the United are far ahead in this, and thus they have brought their nation to a stage of premature decay. Mrs. Bisland holds that the legend f “Eden and of the Fall” is founded on a tremendous race tragedy which once imperiled the existence of the human family and the progress of its evolution out of savagery. Says this “Few and simple as are the words relation, they show us, with @ severity of outhne, ¢ whole race pictured in the persons of one man and one woman In Eden they stand on the threshold of those new dominions and desires that reveal themselves to humanity at every stage of its higher spiritual development. What else are we rea- sonably to interpret as the serpent, “more subtle than any beast of the field,” but the evil whisper of a false ambition, calling woman away from 1 task, to her appointed and primord aid at this crisis m a short, swift struggle for the attainment of a daz- 1 zling intellectual and material grandizement? “But the fruit of knowledge, that talisman which insures the highest human power, when plucked by the feminine hand, proves so grievous an outrage upon the law of orderly and consistent evolution, that it all but destroys the race daring thus to re- fute Nature’s processes and _ princi ples.

Then it was the agent who was anxious to show the Of alike goods to unwilling buyers. course, the mills and agents would be glad to get their orders and the for at best it promises to be a very unsatisfactory ne; but to hurry matters might make it a more unsatisfactory one. Yarns are so high to-day and so unsteady that it is almost impos- through with season as quickly as possible, very much sible to get a price on them that wil! hold good twenty-four hours, and furthermore it is still- harder to get the yarns themselves. There is a de- cided scarcity of fall underwear, which is becoming more and more ent as the selling time draws The majority of mills are so short of raw material, both cotton and wool, that they can run but a short time longer, and so far there seems to be little in the way of new supplies in sight. Some mills are a little better off than stated above, but and even these have enough material to carry them or about six or seven weeks, or at two months, and as a con sequence the output of finished gar- must decrease from now on. The present season is a peculiar and not a very pleasant one for the re- tailer any more than for other de of the trade. A_ good spring busines was accomplished in May, but June was practically a flat failure. July is helping things out, and if the warm weather continues, it is likely to make things pretty they are few ments partments good before the end. There have been some “sales” of underwear at cut prices, but they are not very for the retailers realize that but they cut prices, it will mean ‘ Here if a loss t high not of just that much profit. it will be paid for at regular prices, here have been sales of garments, but amount to very much. Carpets—The carpet manufactur- ing situation continues to show a good deal of activity. Orders in hand are very heavy, large enough, in fact, to take care of production for the next three or four months at and grade these do least. New business is continually coming in in fair-sized lots and as a eral thing weavers are in a po- to accept it, although deliv- likely to be made rather season. In three-quarter goods circles business is exceptional- ly good and few obstacles are in the manufacturers Way in getting out business. Barring the ty in procuring worsted yarns in amounts sufficient for all demands, this end of the business is running smoothly. The short supply of yarns is not so noticeable as to cause ma- chinery to be shut down, but con- siderable more yarn could be used. In ingrains, manufacturers as a gen- have their hands tied as getting out their orders j concerned. The majority of the mills turning out ingrains are located in Philadelphia and as the strike is stil] on in that city not a yard of carpet is being turned out. This meansthat is being turned out.

Plymouth Food Co., Limited Detroit, Michigan Have MICHIGAN TRADESMAN ll only about one-quarter production of ingrains is being made at the present time, as the ingrain mills in the other parts of the country are capable of turning out not more than a quarter of the total production. In consequence of this ingrains are in unusually heavy demand and prices quoted are much higher than would otherwise be the case. If the strike keeps on much longer it is said what orders have been placed and not fill- ed will be of no use to the trade. If deliveries can not be made at a cer- tain period, they will be too late for the current season and must come in during the following one. The job- bers are making their initial deliver- ies of fall patterns at the present time. They report the outlook exceedingly bright and believe that little or no surplus stock of any kind will be left in either their hands or the retailers’ at the end of the present season. Re- tailers are stocking up as heavily as their demands and expectations war- rant and every one in the trade ex- presses himself as certain that some big business is in store for him. Through the West salesmen covering that section state that wholesalers are anxious that deliveries should be made as soon as posible. Those who had their business placed with the Philadelphia mills have been hust- ling around looking for other oppor- tunities to get their orders placed on account of the strike there. Rugs—Rug weavers are very ac- tive, as a general thing, on rugs of all kinds and grades. The fine rugs in particular are selling exceedingly well, especially those in the large size Wiltons and Brussels rugs. Smali Smyrnas and Moquettes are in fair demand. a oe The Latest Styles in Fans. The fan of to-day is a six-inch af- fair, slightly larger in lace or paper. For shapes, of course, are variations of the disks and half moons to which we are accustomed, but this season’s style takes the pretty shape of a shell, often with scalloped edges im- itating the shell fluting, with the idea still further elaborated by outlines of tiny silver or gold sequins upon white or black chiffon. The shell-shaped fan is also tobe found in feathers of many _ kinds, beautifully shaped, and in gauze, silk and ivory, adorned with ribbons or carved and tinted flowers. In new combinations of paper and lace net these fans show dainty little Watteau pictures and figures, whose soft col- oring is thrown in high relief upon a back ground of black or white net. Still another and a very beautiful va- riation is made of gauze or lace net, outlined and decorated with appli- ques of lace, such as white Chantilly upon black, and vice versa. The in- troduction of sequin spangles lends a glitter to the dainty things. Where sequins are used, cut steel is one of the most fashionable sorts. The variety of college fans in every texture, from palm leaf, pa- per, gauze and satin to feathers and solid ivory, bids fair to make it un- necessary to cover the walls in col- lege dens with anything else. These college fans are so exceedingly pret- ty and dainty, with their borders of rows of college ribbons and decora- tions of college flags in painted satin and enamel, that they have been adopted for use by other than college girls, and the use of such a fan by ro means indicates that a young woman has any especial reason to select that particular college for her choice. The Japanese fan is distinctly the favorite this season. These small af- fairs have richly-elaborated sticks in many soft colors and show the im- press of Japanese art even upon French designs. One of the prettiest is constructed of separate sticks, every alternate one holding a Japan- ese belle in native costume. As the other sticks are short stalks with flower tips, the girls appear to stand in a grove of flowers. Floral-raised effects are produced upon the edges of other fans by means of paper flowers, which close when the fan shuts up. Numberless as are the new designs in paper fans, these show a general inclination to the popular shades of lavender, light blue and pink and to the lovely Pompadour effects, which appear especially appropriate in fans. Generally speaking, in the line of fans for dress occasions, all white and all black fans are preferred, or a combination of these two colors in some dainty pattern. More often than not these are illuminated with spangles. Some of the prettiest ap- pear in the outline of a butterfly with silver spangled wings resting upon gauze. While all-lace fans are fashionable for dress occasions, there is a fancy for gauze fans decorated with realis- tic flowers, butterflies and dragon flies in hand painting, usually with illuminated outlines or touches of gold and silver. As complements to special costumes these fans are par- ticularly effective. The flutter of an iris, an orchid or a rose, with the mo- tion of the fan, suggests the sweet- ness of nature with the grace of art. ———_> 4. New Use for Paper. Paper gloves and stockings are now being manufactured in Europe. As to the manner in which the form- er are made little is known, but the stockings have been carefully exam- ined by experts, and they are loud in their praise of them. It is claimed that they will last almost as long, as ordinary stockings. The reason, they point out, is because the paper of which they are made was during the process of manufacture trans- formed into a substance closely re- sembling wool, and was then woven and otherwise treated as ordinary wool. ——__> «> Standards of Living. The American workman has a higher standard of living than the English. He dresses better, and lives in a better house. Comparatively few men care to go through the streets from work with dirty face and hands and clothes. In some cases they make an entire change night and morning in the shop, so that outside they are as well dressed as a business man.

Written for the Tradesman. Every once in a while some man rises up and states to the men of the mercantile fraternity that it is not clutter up the walk in front of a store with merchandise. He will argue that it has a tendency to in- jure the appearance of a store and detract from the ‘effectiveness of the displays of goods in the windows. He will further state to his benight- ed brethren that the flaming price tags and cards flaunted in front of the public l wise to will not attract them in the manner expected, but that the people will become disgusted with this everlasting band wagon style of offering bargains and will give the more dignified institutions their pat- argument sounds plausible enough, and there is_ per- haps some excuse for its being put forth, but however this may be it is evident that the public does not always cry out against such things, as our friend would have us believe ronage. This It so happens that in my every day labors I have to pass all the large department stores in the city in which I am located, and in passing and repassing these prosperous insti- tutions one has an opportunity to study human nature to a considerable degree. If there is ever a crowd on the street the department store gets its share, and if it is under capable management the chances are that it will get a large slice of the trade be- passed around among the mer- One of the large stores I happen to pass in my daily rounds is of a class that would delight the eye of d who gives the advice rela- displaying of merchandise. store, equipped with all the modern conveniences. Its win- our frien tive to the it is a dows are large and the merchandise arranged therein is tastily displayed by men who evidently understand what they are there for. This store is in a good location on the main re- tail street of the city and the amount of business it does is very heavy The walk in front of the store is never covered with goods piled high and marked in figures that can be read by pedestrians on the opposite ide of the street. It advertises bar- gains, but they are always kept in- doors, yet they are largely grabbed by the people who hunt strenuously day after day for something at less than the original _ i On the face of all this it would seem that our friend is correct in his line of thought. But down the street a short distance, located in a less fav- ored district, is another department that is widely different in The waik in front of this filled during business hours with piles of dry goods mark- -d in figures a foot long. In appear ince the place is not nearly so met- ropolitan as the store first mention- ed, and vet people flock to this store large as those that as- lace our friend would establishment. In the rush for bargains the people tell us was the ideal jostle each other unmercifully. They pack the store from one end to the other, so that the place has the ap- pearance of a Chicago establishment, with the exception that it is not so large. I understand that this store has been running about six years. It was a small institution when it first opened its doors to the public, but it has grown so rapidly that it is now three or four times as large as it was in the beginning. It will be seen from this that there is no proof that either way of show- ing merchandise is better than the other. Under both methods of do- ing business success has been attain- ed by these et — places. It that the advertising appropriations of pone stores are might be said about equal. Both use page adver tisements frequently and also bill the city with great regularity. Thus no- apes the fact that they are offering something special every day i And another thing that might be well to take into considera- tion is the fact that both are consid- ered reliable and have reputations for doing as they promise. It will be seen at once that the only differ ence is in the way they show their goods Now when a man starts out to lay down rules by which any kind of a business institution should be run to be successful he has taken to himself the difficult task of performing the eo There are general rules governing the mercantile business that will apply everywhere, but it is impossible to run all institutions in exactly the same fashion. Of course the merchant who desires to secure the patronage of the public will en- deavor to attract the attention of the people. This he must do in order to sell goods. No store can put its light under a bushel and succeed, and so body esc +} in the week. the man of merchandise must evolve some method of reaching the people, some way of telling them his story. Realizing that he must impress upon them the advisability of trading at his place he will, if he is a wise man, be liberal with his use of printer’s ink. This is the first step. But after the attention of the public has been attracted through the columns of the newspaper the whole thing has not been accomplished. An _ impression of a favorable nature must be made when they visit the store. If the merchant piles his advertised articles out in front and has not lied about them he can consider that his method of procedure has been correct if the people buy the goods, and if he keeps the goods inside and the people come in and find them it is equally certain that he is doing all right. As long aS a man gets crowds and sells goods it is evident that his policy is all right, no matter what it is. If it is wrong he will soon know it through a decrease in patronage. There is a lot said about getting and holding trade, but after all the only man who can succeed in busi- ness is the fellow with whom nature has been generous enough to give a supply of brains sufficient to keep him well balanced. The fellow who succeeds anywhere is the man who hustles. All the plans of action in the universe will not bring business unless they are pushed with vigor. A lot of ginger must be injected into any business to make it successful Knowing how will never do a lazy man any good. In this day and age a man must please the people in order to succeed Perhaps there may have eos a time as told by the old timers who down the boxes around the stor when any man who stocked up merchandise could get a good busi ness without taking off his coat and fighting for it, but that day since passed. There is a different con dition of affairs in evidence now. The only man who will get the trade wil: be the one who fights for it, and it does not matter whether he hustles with a pile of bargains on the wall in front of his store or not so long as he gets the trade The amount of business a man gets tells the story ry te If a store fails to draw t there is something wrong, but if it draws a large crowd every day it looks as if its policy is all Raymond H.

MICH. MICHIGAN TRADESMAN 17 Hints on Advertising Clothing and Furnishings. Are you thinking about your ad- vertisements for warm weather goods? If not, it is time. Nothing will come to you without thinking Thinking brings results, for if you put no thoughts into your advertis- ing there will be nothing in your ar- ticles of publicity to interest readers. You want to interest your readers in what you say about your goods. There can be no doubt that few peo- ple are able to say interesting things without thinking. If you can not in- terest yourself sufficiently to do some good thinking, how can you hope to interest others in what you say? Money is a good thing, but its goodness is in its moving, its circu- lating. Thought is its’ propelling power; remove thought and circula- tion stops. A people who do no thinking would have no_ use for money. Money can exist only where thought exists. An_ advertisement calls for money. It costs money to begin with; it brings money to end with; but since money is moved by thought, the advertisement will move it in proportion to the thought it contains. You may want your. advertise- ments to be large, so that they may move much money; but do not for- get that their moving force lies in the force of thought they contain. Little thought spread over a news- paper page becomes very thin, so thin that it often requires time and trouble to find it. If a man is bub- bling full of thought, thought run- ning over, he may require a whole page in his newspaper to give it play and to utilize his surplusage. This does not often happen, but it is a possibility, and may happen when one least expects it. Give prominence to a few things at a time. Too many aarticles put before the mind at a time are confus ing, and confusion always detracts from the effectiveness of an adver- tisement. Small products are strong because of their brevity. Say little and enforce that little with an appro- priate cut, if you would have some- thing strong and attractive. It is not the quantity of the matter you put into an advertisement that makes it good and strong, but the quality. The smaller the product the greater the care required to make it good. Never forget to have something new in each product, and let these new things follow in succession, but do not repeat them often in the same product. The business man that never ad- vertises is much like the man without a home; no one knows where to find him. He is an advertiseless man, selfish and lonely; the homeless man, morose and melancholy; the one longs for the angel spirit of business to enliven the dreary abode of his self-walled tomb; the other follows his shadow from morn until night in search of peaceful rest; both are playing hopefully with time and waiting for something to turn up to brighten their souls and to enliven their drooping spirits. The adver- tiseless man has his just reward; the homeless man deserves the pity of the benevolent; the condition of the first is of his own making; that of the second came upon him through circumstances beyond his control. The business man with capital was able to surround himself with a fine- ly selected stock of goods and ele- gant store fixtures. His object was twofold: to benefit himself while helping others. He acted upon the principle that elegance of stock and store fixtures was all the needful re- quirement. He presumed that his highness was all-sufficient to bring swarms of customers, and any means to make himself and his store known to the public was a waste of money. He would not advertise; no, indeed, for how could the dear people re- main ignorant of the magnate among them? “Not to know me,” he mut- tered, “is to argue oneself unknown.” Such stateliness may have its just recognition among’ nabobs, _ but among plain Americans it goes for naught. A man in business must make him- self and his merchandise known to the people. To do that he must ad- vertise; he must keep his name and the kind of store he keeps before the people. They need to be told how the merchant is going to benefit them. Their interests must be reached; they must be told how their wants can be supplied with the least expenditure of money. One time telling will not suffice; the les- sons require oft repeating. Every town and village has a newspaper for the dissemination of knowledge among the people; that paper will help you if you give it the opportu- nity. Has it ever occurred to you that no man has ever become great in modern times without the aid of the newspaper? You may think your newspaper is published weekly and therefore it can do you no good. If you think so, you are acting upon erroneous premises. You, as an indi- vidual, may have no influence, but place yourseif behind a newspaper as its manager, and notice how quick- ly you clothe yourself with power among the people that read your pa- per. A word or a line in your news- paper commending you and your goods to the public is beneficial to you. In rural districts everybody that can reads the town news in the newspaper. Not that only, but they read all the locals and all the advertisements. Should you place an advertisement in your town paper, do not allow yourself to think you have done your duty as an advertiser for a whole season to come. Do not allow your advertisement tO remain over one week without change. Keep it in the papers every issue, but let it be a new advertisement. If you publish the same advertisement each issue, it will become stale reading, and in- stead of doing you good it will do your ‘business positive injury.

The Simple Account File Co., MICHIGAN TRADESMAN 19 Negroes Cling to Life. “Men are inclined to marvel at the scarcity of suicides among members of the negro race,” said an observant man, “but when you come to think of it there is nothing strange about the matter. The negro is a happy go-lucky sort of a creature. He is not as quick to feel the pricks of pride as the white man and life’s lit- tle reverses do not affect him in the same way. But lately the increase in suicides among the negroes has been a matter of serious comment. The observation has been made that a few years ago a negro suicide was unknown. The negro simply lived out his natural span in a natural sort of way. Suicide is a departure due to the abnormal and superficial con- ditions which environ the individual. “The negro lives awfully close to nature. Such departures as he may make are due to his imitativeness and they are often grotesque and ex- travagant. Living naurally, he dies naturally, as a rule. Mainly, the scarcity of suicides among negroes is due to this love of nature and this natural way of doing things. It may not be inapt to remark in this of anything approaching pessimism in the phil- osophy of the black man and an un- connection the absence faltering devotion to a religion of some sort. Did you ever hear of negro infidel? “Did you ever hear of a negro ag- nostic, negro atheist or a negro who was the least bit skeptical about the hereafter, the immortality of the soul and the other things which go with faith? I dare say you have not. [ have not and I have been a pretty close student of the race, and liv ing in the black belt of the South, have had a splendid chance to be- come acquainted with the traits of the race. All these facts may, in some measure, explain the negro’s antipathy for any violent interfer- ence with the natural. course. of things. So, after all, there is nothing particularly strange about the fact that the negro does not take kindly to the Life may be hard with him at times, but he is Nasily cheered up and so he goes ae ee © suicidal impulse. saughing his way, allowing life to wear itself out in nature’s yay.” — New Orleans Times-Democrat. li ilo Opened Safe by Using Finger Nail. An extraordinary account is given of how a safe was opened by a rob- ber, who had at his disposal no in- strument of any kind, but operated y with his finger nail. The per- son who accomplished the feat re- vealed his intention of robbing the iron safe in a hotel to another young man, who happened to be the cousin proprietor—a fact he was unacquainted with. 1 } mere of the hotel As a matter of course, the propos- ed scheme to rob was revealed to the owner of the hotel, and a little be fore midnight, when it was to be put into execution, a couple of detectives were admitted to the premises and concealed behind the office counter. A short time afterward the robber entered the office gently, without either tools or explosives wherewith to open the massive iron receptacle, the combination of which it was evi- dent he did not know. He had, how- ever, resorted to an ingenious plan of his own. He had pared the nail of his index finger on the right hand until the blood vessels were exposed. Then, by placing the sensitive wound on the combination lock, he could dis- tinguish the movements of the tum- blers as they fel hour did he work, and at last there came a sharp click, and he swung back the doors of the safe. He was in the act of filling his pockets with the valuable papers it damper was For more than an contained, when a thrown upon his activity by the sud- den grasp of the detectives, under whose escort he was taken to prison. Thus was interupted what was prob- ably one of the most ingenious rob- beries ever recorded in the annals of crime.—London Tid- Bits. Le Church Bell Rung by Lightning. Lightning struck the steeple and rang the bell in the tower of the Diamond-street Baptist church in recent storm. A portion of the stee ple was split, and the lightning rod was melted in parts. There was a brief pause following the descent of the electric bolt against the church, then came a crash of thunder that startled the neighborhood for two Squares on every side. Windows shivered and men and women, be lieving their own homes had_ been struck, rushed trembling into the street. Those living in the square where the church is situated heard a single and heavy stroke of the bell. The whole town quivered with the shock. On the Thirty-first-street side of the edifice a shower of broken stones and mortar fell, terrorizing for the moment several pedestrians, who were hurrying homeward to get out of the rain which at that moment was coming down in torrents. Per- sons who had seen the lightning strike felt sure that the church was on fire, although no blaze was dis- cernible. The impression grew among the spectators, and a little later the excitement was intensified when fire engines, hose carts and hook and ladder trucks came dashing by, but none of these stopped at the church. A superficial examination of the church in the darkness did not reveal any great damage.—Philadelphia Press. —_» 6 Better Gamble On the ‘Races.

The first thing necessary is to pro- cure some suitable brushes, and it is not necessary to have more than six to twelve of these. For an outline or single stroke brush, the ones most commonly used are called “riggers,” and you would require two of these, one for hair lines and one for heavier strokes. You will also need a small ‘quill pencil,” which has a flat square end when wet; also one that has a pointed end when moistened. You can get along very nicely with these four brushes for practicing.

So in spite of the advice which he had just received from the experi- enced Marston, young Bartlett with his grip started for his hotel, where he took his usual time in getting ready for his round of work. He washed and he brushed and changed his collar and gave Marston a pleas- ant thought as he put on an aggres- sively offensive tie and after a num- ber of profitable business calls stood hat in hand in a little back office of Hawkins & Co., partner of the firm, with nervously where the. senior beating fingers was sitting at a table covered with little trays containing samples of all sorts of merchandise and on the other side of it was Mars ton with one leg over the arm of his chair, his hat pushed back from his forehead and a dead, half-smoked ci- gar between his fingers, in a “don’t you forget it’ voice and manner in- sisting that certain articles would have to go down on his order list if | iad to talk all night. beg your pardon, gentlemen, but the boy told me to come in.

I'll see “boy” interrupt me. Marston. Judkins and I will talk over your samples you later, but don’t Good day, Mr. later.” A few minutes afterward there was a hearty handshake in the private office, a pointing to an easy chair by Mr. choicest brand of cigars from_ his Hawkins, who -taking his desk remarked, as the blue from both “The grained, half-trained drummer who curled skyward: coarse bores me and who insists upon sell ing me stuff I do not want will never Here’s your You see, I’ve kept get any of my trade list, Mr. Bartlett.

Oh, well, he’ll learn in time. It’s so near the time for luncheon you'd better go home with me. Mrs. Hawkins is always glad to see you. It'll rest me to walk.” As they turned the corner the smoke from those cigars, blue as the noonday sky overhead, was wafted by the lucky air right across Ben Marston’s nose. He turned and looked and saw the smokers and said something which sounded very much like “D—n it!” and I am satisfied that’s exactly what he said. Richard Malcolm Strong. - ~> . > _~ Plea For the Bridegroom. Rhapsodies on the June bride are now ripe, and the crop is bountiful. The dear creature, of course, is Rag np Eos worthy of all the good things said about her. She is the loveliest, sweetest, most charming and _ alto- gether most delightful thing that ever came down the pike or the cen- tral aisle of the church. Her very presence is a benediction and a sug- gestion of the spiced isles, and her dresses—ah, they are dreams! If you do not believe it just get into the company of any of her girl friends; you won’t have the trouble of asking about it. The June bride is “it” at this season of the year. She is al- ways “top of column next to reading matter,” which, being interpreted, means that she gets a choice posi- tion, where she and her beauty and her gown would positively demand attention if it were not given freely, gladly and voluntarily. She deserves and has the admiration of all crea- tion. And yet we make bold to put in a little plea on behalf of the June bridegroom, that he be not forgotten. Ordinarily he cuts mighty little fig- ure in the proceedings. He is re- garded rather in the light of a piece of the stage settings, or a foil to show off the radiant beauty of the bride-elect. That he is a very nec- essary adjunct to the function which brings the bride all ablush into the public eye will be admitted. But who notices how he is dressed? Not even the bride herself. She and the others have a hazy picture of a man with something black on his body and something white on his hands, and some of the spectators may observe a scared look on his face. But that is about all. Nobody says, “Wasn't he handsome!” “How perfectly his costume set off his splendid figure!” “Wasn’t he just too sweet for any- thing!’ Comments and compliments of this kind are reserved for the bride. The bridegroom does not get them. And, to tell the truth, he is glad of it. He is well content for “her” to be the recipient of all the attentions while he stands meekly in the background. It is less embar- rassing and less bothersome. It is after the wedding and in the home life that the June bridegroom shows up big, if he is of the right sort, and most of them are. It is when the honeymoon has waned that he proves to the June bride the wis- dom of her choice. It is when he takes off his coat and hustles hard at work all day and is tender, loving and true under the evening lamp that he demonstrates he is not the clothing dummy that he appeared to be during the wedding ceremony. It may be that the world will not no- tice it. No mention of the fact will be found in the society columns and the neighborhood gossips will have nothing to say about it. But when he has made her a happy home the June bride will understand and appreciate the fact, if she is of the right sort, and most of them are, and will bless the day that brought to her her own June bridegroom They are both good people; may they live long and prosper. >».

One hastened to a_ neighboring drug store for a mixture of vichy and ammonia. One appeared suddenly with a glass of whisky, obtained no one knows where. In endeavoring to raise the gas two able-bodied and excited mascu- lines put it out. and left the party in total darkness for at least a minute, while every one of them fumbled in his pockets for a match. Four men fanned the invalid with music, handkerchiefs or whatever was at hand. One held a pot-pourri jar under her ose under the mistaken impression it would be reviving in its effects, al though it was not. Another said, “Here, dear, and he held, instead of the handkerchief that was in his other hand.

Terry Having five hours between trains the other day at Kala Michi- gan, | up my dear old friend, mazoo, hunted R. G.

G is well acquainted with those in au- a great desire authority and we were shown every courtesy. We went through corridor after corridor, confronted on every hand with dreadful specimens of mind-disease in every form, except the “incurables,”’ upon whose floor visitors are not allowed. Leaving the “male department,” we toward the languorous blos- were strolling along exit, admiring the soms of the magnolia tree silhouet- heard uncertain shuffling tread of a squad of the poor unfor- of the at- Stepping aside to allow them to pass, we scan- ned their faces curiously. Most of them looked stolid or in different, them wild and ugly. One face especially attracted ted against the sky, when we behind us. the tunates out with a couple tendants for an aifing. some of me, that of a tall, finely-formed young man, evidently about thirty years of age. R. G. also appeared for he “Notice this ow at the end. [ll you about him later.” Resuming our interrupted walk, my friend seemed unusually thought- 1 for the gay, debonair fellow he always seems. When we _ reached 1e road we found we had just miss- ed the street car and were in for a particularly interested in him, said, as they passed us, ta I] tel ll young fe Hi l half hour’s wait for the next. The air was delightfully balmy and we threw ourselves on the grass, noth- ing loth to continuing our visit amid such beautiful surroundings. We watched in silence a plump. robin hobnobbing with a saucy chipmunk close by. The soft wind bore on its wings the voices of the madmen playing ball over in the shadow of the big red building. “Strange such a little thing as a woman’s kiss should have unsettled his brain and landed him in an in- sane asylum!” mused my friend, evi- dently pursuing a train of thought uggested by seeing that tall young llow in the crowd of lunatics. “But it’s no wonder he fell in love with her,” he went on savagely, “for many a man had done so before him, and to his sorrow. If ever there was a flirt, John, Sadie Atherton is one. At the time I’m speaking of—five years ago—she had been a widow for mw three years. Young, beautiful, ac- complished, I may say rich, fascinat- ing—what more would you? She wasn’t to blame that men loved her, to be sure; but then, she needn’t have played with them like a cat with a mouse!” R. G.’s_ face darkened and he flipped a pebble viciously at the chat- tering chipmunk. “Well, to make a _ long. story short,” he continued, “she went on a visit that summer to some of her dead husband’s relatives, in the coun- try, whom she never had seen be- fore. It always amused her, she aid, the way she made her appear- ince at their home. The letter in which she had announced her com- ing had miscarried and there was no yne to meet her at the train; accepted the offer of a neighboring farmer to let her ride on his load of Sadie always was a ver- satile creature—could adapt herself to any circumstances. “When they reached the borders of her destination she caught her first glimpse of the young fellow you saw back there. He was plowing in he field and his back was toward her. Although in regulation farm clothes, he was yet as handsome a man as one could look upon, and possessed a careless, easy grace peculiarly his own. “Well, he met Sadie at ‘supper,’ as they call it in the country, and from that time it was all up with him How could he help it, poor devil! After she’d looked at a fellow with those glorious eyes of hers there was but one thing for him to do—capitu- late. No choice in the matter. Those eyes! One minute you’d swear they were blue, the next green, the next black—unfathomable, always. And the prettiest pink cheeks and _ red mouth—why, a man could no more resist wanting to kiss her than he could help loving the sunshine!” “Why, old boy,” I broke in, “you are raving so over this dashing young widow that one would think you’d been hard hit yourself.” He flushed slowly “Once she kissed him,” he went on, “and that finished him. He’s over there now. “Ah, well!” he ended, abruptly, “I was one of the poor fools that pro- posed to her twice.” Jean La Vigne. a The New Bags and Parasols. The hand bags are still with us, and the new ones are even daintier than ever. One of the smartest is of gun metal with a fringe of crystal. It swings from the waist or is held in the hand by a string of pearls. A bag the Parisians think particularly chic is made of bright red morocco leather with gold mountings. It is ridicuously large, but is gay and at- tractive looking, and holds in a comfortable fashion a quantity of small things, such as handkerchiefs, powder puffs and parcels. On many of the lightest and dain- tiest parasols are to be found handles of bog wood, both carved and plain, and on the darker ones will be seen exquisitely wrought ivory handles. The old fashioned carriage parasol so she mealbags. young wish to of French or thread lace is very fashionable, and it is worth one’s again quite while to hunt around i the treasure chest for anything it contains in this line.
