Enterprise, honesty and pluck always win.
Dash and:splutter are spasmodic and not last
ing. The House OF Geo. Y Smith belongs TO
the former class. They have capital. They
invest in the town because they are here to
stay and have faith in the future big city Of
Kansas. They pay no rents. They do not
jockey in prices to take in the unwary. They
sell goods at lower prices than can be ha d
elsewhere. One reason for low prices at
Geo. Y. Smiths, and 1t is very plain and
plausible one, too, is the fact that he pur-
chases more goods annually for his tire great
stores at Wichita, Humboldt and Parsons,
than the aggregate purchases of any of the
surrounding towns. 31-2t

Dentistry,

A dentists value to his patients and to the
public consists in what he can do rather than
in what he can tell; in his skill OF hand rather
than the amount of his book knowledge. He
may be able 10 discuss most learnediy and
well upon the methods and appliances OF his
art, but unless his eye has the accuracy and
his hand the power to use and apply them,
his knowledge is OF little use and he is no
